"He pulled American liquor from the shelves of the Liquor Control Board of Ontario... Ford’s bet was that as Kentucky bourbon dried up in the province, he would rise in the polls." And yet the LCBO is giving out bonus Aeroplan points for buying Kentucky bourbon.

Is it just me or is it a little odd that the LCBO is offering bonus Aeroplan points on bourbon? That'll show Trump how serious we are about the trade war! #onpoli

Share of eligible voters in 2022 Ontario election. This is ridiculous. Technically, "Did Not Vote" won the election. Across all of North America, the complacency and apathy of the voting populace threatens the fabric of society. Get off your lazy asses and vote.

So while Doug Ford wants to focus on removing US alcohol from the LCBO, he needs to explain why Ontario healthcare is such a shambles on his watch. cc @maritstilesndp.bsky.social

Canada retaliates 25% tariffs in $150B worth of U.S. products. $30B on consumer goods effective Feb 1. 21 days later for the rest, to give companies a time to source new supply lines. Some procurement measures.

Four things that stood out to me about PMJT's speech/answers: 1. We've been warned retaliation will provoke even more pain. We retaliated. 2. PMJT had not had a conversation with Trump since the inauguration.

@tylermeredith.bsky.social making a lot of sense -We are not alone. Mexico (and that's to Europe) could be a significant alliance for a concerted strategy -Yes, fight back, but not just through tariffs. Hit 'em where it hurts- US debt. Sell US bonds. Make it harder for them to finance their deficit
