This assumes the target countries have no leverage of their own especially if they band together.

"Trump loves the chaos his tariffs are causing: He 'likes the shock and awe. Each country needs to panic and call. Trump wants to hear you grovel and say you’ll cut a deal. Some will cut a deal before and some just won’t get it and will get pounded. And then we’ll see how fast they start dealing.'”

“What’s essential for Canada is that they don’t act like stupid cowards. They don’t act like, “We’re going to repair the alliance.” No, that’s not happening. The United States is your enemy.”

From Dr Stanley, expert in Fascism moving to Canada (U of T) from Yale. Just Wow.

🇨🇦 Prime Minister Mark Carney, today:

"An unwavering belief that an economy is only strong when it serves everyone. In society, people can slip through the cracks. They can be left behind."

""As I made clear to President Trump in our call last week, I will reject all attempts to weaken Canada."

"All attempts to wear us down, to break us down so that America can own us."

Sebastian Skamski, Pierre #Poilievre's campaign official, previously slammed Doris Grinspun, CEO of the Reg. Nurses’ Assoc. of Ont, calling her “CBC’s so called ‘expert’ with 23 letters behind her name."

"Mr. Skamski, may not fully appreciate the value of the letters after Dr. Grinspun’s name. They show, among other things, that she is a registered nurse and a PhD, that she has an honorary law degree & is a member of the Order of Ontario."

@mayintoronto Yes she does. We all deserve better.

'Rachel Gilmore, a former parliamentary press gallery reporter was invited by CTV Your Morning to do a weekly fact-checking segment during the federal election.'

CTV cites ending the segment due to the 'distraction' & not having "the bandwidth" to deal with the attacks from the Conservatives.

Chilling.

NEW: CTV has cancelled an election fact-checking segment on their morning show in response to political pressure from the Conservative Party.

Sebastian Skamski, a senior campaign official for Mr #Poilievre denounced CTV News, saying their guest was lying directly to viewers & suggested that CTV News is working to help elect Liberals.

Despite Mr Skamski offering no evidence to support his claims, the network folded & cancelled the segment.

OK, this weekend, hold a rally, invite the GPC, NDP and LPC candidates to speek and answer some questions.
Next have a vote (via paper ballot) and then get everyone to support the winner.
Call it a mini-primary if you like.

GPC, LPC or NDP - at least it would not be MAGA. Democracy would survive.
