Trudeau: I want to speak first directly to the American people… your government has chosen to do this to you. Your government has chosen to put American jobs at risk. They have chosen to raise costs for American consumers on everyday essential items…

We should buy the products of Canadian companies not because economic nationalism is a good idea β€” the whole point of our outrage at the tariffs is that it isn’t β€” but because specific local companies, our neighbours, are getting hurt badly by this and need a lot of support now

Trudeau: "Now I want to speak directly to one specific American. Donald...it's not in my habit to agree with the WSJ, but Donald, they point out that even though you're a very smart guy, this is a very dumb thing to do. We friends fighting is exactly what our opponents around the world want to see."

Canada Would Like a Word About Trump’s Threats Americans should stop treating attacks on their neighbor as a joke.

And not one of the polite ones. We’ve written a response to @nytimes.com’s Peter Baker and every other American who is taking the annexation of Canada as a fun thought experiment. Here in @foreignpolicy.com with my daughter @alicesouthey.com. Gift link.

Years ago, after the Cambridge Analytica scandal, I interviewed a former fb employee, and I remember her continually emphasizing that these tech bros weren't evil geniuses, but were, in fact, dangerous because they were utterly clueless, totally reckless, and had too much power.

USDA accidentally fired officials working on bird flu and is now trying to rehire them An Agriculture Department spokesperson told NBC News that officials are "working to swiftly rectify the situation."

Over my mostly private-sector career, I’ve heard the suggestion that government is incompetent and the private sector is efficient and effective.

Many times I’ve seen the opposite, with the private sector often shockingly incompetent but largely un-scrutinized like the public sector is.

Until now.

Here’s why modern EVs are more prepared for extreme temps From Nissan to Tesla and beyond, the newest EVs are better equipped for temperature extremes than earlier mass-produced EVs.

By donating their current U.S. inventory (which no one wants right now) to a Food Bank, Canadian grocery stores can compensate for the loss with a tax deduction and by a smart advertising campaign, then replace with a Canadian or non-American good. Win win.
