Not a good time for me to visit Canada, and I have the desire and the means to do it. The rhetoric on both side of the border--- Ford's and Trump's--- is needless.

We had been intending on traveling by motor vehicle through Canada from North of Detroit to the East Coast during June. We would have been staying in accommodations in Ontario for about a week. But now we are changing our travel plans, as who knows what could happen to a motor vehicle bearing US license plates in Canada these days? So we will stay in the USA during our trip.

This is the same guy that had to be informed by the Alberta Premier that ALL of Ontario's fuel, of all kinds, comes ONLY via America, there are no canadian pipelines into the province. they will go dark in three days if they embargo. Also nearly all of their food and industrial materials come via USA, not canadian roads, rail, or ship. Just the even temporary lack of, or expense of heavily tariff'd fuel will nip their entire nations planting season in the bud...and their season is SHORT. Same applies to their cattle, and Timber...we have other sources available and hundreds of seaports to get that stuff from elsewhere, they have near zero import capacity except via USA...and near zero export capacity as well. US automakers currently have surpluses of completed cars in inventory. Worth a mention...while we buy a LOT of timber from Canada, rather than cut/process our own trees...they have to buy 98% of their toilet paper from us.(Don't start no Chit)

#1, I'm tired with the one sided tariffs. Why is it that the U.S. gets the short end of the stick? However, I do agree that we don't have to have a p#ssing contest. Maybe it is time for both sides stop and take a break OR maybe Trump should sit this out and hand it over to someone that is a little more diplomatic and the same goes for Canada.

Pain huh? The US economy is about 15 times larger than Canada's. Plus, as Trump has pointed out, Canada gets much bigger (unfair) trade advantages, so any loses are amplified against Canada. If there is pain, the US will have a stubbed toe. Canada will be left as a paraplegic. So many Leftists in the world talk big but have nothing to back it up. Think of all the braggadocio of the dems over the last 4 years, and now they are a shattered and impotent party.

Canada has been firmly attached to our economic coattails for decades. Not only that but they are almost totally dependent on us for military support. Instead of being grateful neighbors they have been virtually raping us with unbelievable tariffs and we have never tried to reciprocate. This thug isn’t going to inflict any pain on me. He’s going to find out exactly what kind of pain Donald Trump is capable of inflicting on him.

As the majority of Canadians cheer, the Prime Minister said that Canada as a free independent and sovereign nation will now embrace its connections to the United Kingdon and European Union and seek to replace their national dependency on the United States by severing ties in North America and entering a new era of close relations with Great Britain and Europe.

But a so-called “free speech” group went to court, and now a judge is forcing the school to host these explicit transgender sex shows. The university’s board of regents recognized that “Drag Show Events are likely to create or contribute to a hostile environment for women,” involving “unwelcome and objectively offensive conduct based on sex,” in a Feb. 28 resolution.

A physician and former Stanford University professor, Bhattacharya first drew public attention in 2020 for his criticism of COVID-19-era interventions such as mask mandates, lockdowns, and school closures.

We do have power over funding over the courts and all these other things. But desperate times call for desperate measures, and Congress is going to act.” Johnson clarified that he was not calling to eliminate courts, but rather meant to illustrate Congress’s broad scope of authority, Punchbowl News reported.

Kennedy has been a longtime critic of the promotion of drugs on TV, and others high up in Trump’s cabinet and advisorship have agreed in recent months. Drug advertising on TV The backstory: Up until the mid-1980s, pharmaceutical companies gave information about their products only to doctors and pharmacists. Later that decade, some drug companies began giving the general public more direct access to the information, according to the FDA, leading to the advertising that we see on TV today.

New York City's waste reduction efforts will commence a new phase next week, as the city's sanitation agency will begin enforcing a law-mandated composting program with fines. Starting April 1, residents will have to separate food waste from trash or risk receiving a $25 fine from the Department of Sanitation.
