CBC News Fact Check reports Pierre Poilievre repeated a misrepresentation from the Fraser Institute, that Canadians pay 43% of their income on all taxes. Wrong! The Institute included CPP and EI payments which are NOT taxes, knowingly making 43% a lie. Words matter. #cdnpoli

Opinion: The US is supposed to reach trade deals with more than 180 countries in some 84 days. That is ridiculous, says our columnist Martin Wolf. Can businesses plan long-term investment amid the chaos? Business, after all, must think in years, not days www.ft.com/content/a3e6...
