Yves Boisvert, La Presse « Ce qu’on voit s’installer, c’est une présidence utilisant sans gêne la justice criminelle à ses fins politiques. Soit pour menacer, soit pour punir, soit pour récompenser. Ce qui est évidemment un détournement de la justice. Et un acte criminel. »

Surprise Donald, inflation is up instead of down, 3%. We Canadians can hardly wait to see what will happen when your worldwide tariffs come home to roost, literally. 🤗

“Canada’s been no good for us economically”,says Trump. According to latest complete US gvt stats (2023), US trade deficit with CDA is $41 billion. If that’s bad, what about China ($252 Bn), or the EU ($125Bn)? Canada is 4.1% of the the USA’s global trade deficit of $1062 Bn. Bullying is all.

Trump says Canada will get tariffs Saturday. Treat your friends like enemies and your enemies like friends is his motto. It’s also cutting off your nose to spite your face. US friends, I love you more than most but I cannot abide this despot and his lapdogs. Boycott is my response. Sorry.

So, says Trump, DEI is a threat to air travel safety in the US. Today’s accident is the first commercial air tragedy in the US since 2009. As for general aviation, pilot error accounts for 69% of accidents. Blaming DEI is bullshit.
