Jeff Leiper on X: "I think there’s not a lot people don’t know about me… but my love of driving is pretty surprising! https://t.co/8GCqMVHRTR" / X I think there’s not a lot people don’t know about me… but my love of driving is pretty surprising! https://t.co/8GCqMVHRTR

Now it's time to appeal to rural voters who pretty much have to drive, Jeff is revealing his inner love for driving cars?

Consumers paid for Trump’s illegal tariffs. These companies may profit. President Trump imposed sweeping global tariffs during his first year as president.

In recent months, thousands of companies have sued the Trump administration over its tariff policies, seeking refunds for tariff-related costs.

While it seems likely that companies will eventually get refunds from Trump’s tariffs, much of the cost was borne by consumers.

Is Doug Ford in fact setting us up to sell public water services to his cronies for private profit?

There's something deeply obscene and broken about the fact that Donald Trump and Pete Hegseth are bombing elementary schools in an illegal war of aggression, and there's still a sense among the opposition that it has to be explained in terms of gas prices in order to get American voters to care.

I guess this is what we get with a huge majority government, with less than a majority of the popular vote compounded by a disappointing voter turnout.

So is Engage Ottawa supporting Sutcliffe's election campaign here? On a document I understand speaks to initiatives that date back before Sutcliffe was mayor. Funny though, I didn't notice his picture on my tax bill this week.

I'm not a big brained political strategist like Jamil Jivani, which is probably why I don't understand why he'd go on Breitbart's podcast and criticize Canadian attitudes towards the US

How about the Gordie Howe Bridge Fiction in this. The truth here is that Canada paid for the entire job, and were mean enough to retain ownership. You have to wonder if this were seeded by the Moroun family (owners of the Ambassador Bridge).

How to get away with anything: Trump's sordid year of pardons No president has ever forgiven this much fraud—or stiffed this many victims.

Trump has erased more than a billion dollars in restitution and nearly 2,000 convictions. You need data to understand a break this extreme—so we crunched the numbers.
