I don’t think Canada will be joining the U.S. anytime soon. Be like Canada

Donold backed down on tariffs, claimed victory and took credit for things that Biden had already negotiated.

But Canadians will never forget this. He has made a critical error.

Yes, bans work. I live in Canada -we have a few shootings but way fewer and rarely in schools. Yes, that means that some scary folks will use a knife since guns are controlled. Way less damage gets caused by knives.

Exactly.

Pierre Poilievre and the Conservatives want Ontarians to pay 13% more for diapers and food over the next two months – because they only support tax cuts for big business.

We won’t let it happen and we'll make the tax cuts on essentials - permanent.

I did some research into this a few years ago. This is from a Canadian perspective - even though we're considered to be "nice" and on the socialist spectrum, Canadians also have difficulty sharing. Our NDP party continues to pursue Wealth Taxes, though.

From a brief Wikipedia search: "There is near unanimous consensus among economists that tariffs are self-defeating and have a negative effect on economic growth and economic welfare, while free trade and the reduction of trade barriers has a positive effect on economic growth."
