Loyal supporters abandoning him, looking more unhinged by the day - this must be a new low for Donald Trump. Is he done? @bruceanderson & @KeithBoag join for some serious Trump talk, on Good Talk. 🔊 on @CanadaTalks167, podcast platforms. 📺 on YouTube: youtube.com/watch?v=rzO-HQsw…

I, for one, am ensorcelled by @maureendowd ‘s speaking style.

The Leader of the Opposition clarifies that that the decision not to appear on CBC and other mainstream media was his. It was strategic and unproductive. “I'm just going to talk to everybody': Will Pierre Poilievre's new media... youtu.be/SIbhh5qUojM?si=cY4i… via @YouTube

Martin, with precisely zero provocation, Trump said a year ago that he intended to “annex Canada” and make it the 51st state by applying “economic pressure;” - He imposed lifted, increased, decreased, re-imposed and repeatedly threatened tariffs on everything imported from Canada, in gross violation of the CUSMA agreement that he signed, calling it “the greatest trade agreement in history;” - He initially did so on the entirely specious grounds that Canada was a major source of fentanyl imports and illegal migration to the US, both claims completely contradicted by data, and US law enforcement agencies. The claims were so ridiculous - even for Trump - that he has not repeated them for the past ten months; - He has repeatedly said the US needs “nothing” from Canada, specifically mentioning our energy - He continues to maintain crippling sectoral tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum and certain auto components in violation of CUSMA, tariffs that are costing the Canadian economy billions of dollars and thousands of jobs; - Senior Administration officials (Greer, Lutnick et al) have been intimating for months that CUSMA will not be renewed; - Trump has repeatedly referred to the Canada-US border as “imaginary” and “fake.” - His insults and provocations are too many to list, but just in the last week he has said that Canada has been “completely taken over by China” because of a discrete tariff agreement requested by western provinces and initially *endorsed by Trump*; and insulted the honour and memory of our troops, claiming that they “stayed a little back from the front lines” in Afghanistan. Given all of that and more, you blame the Prime Minister of Canada for CUSMA being in jeopardy? WTH? After a year of this, how can we still have some Canadians blaming Canada for Trump taking a wrecking ball to the relationship? Under these circumstances, Prime Minister Carney has exercised remarkable restraint. What would satisfy you? Grovelling subservience? Giving the US total control over our trade relations with the rest of the world? We Canadians can and should debate the most prudent way to deal with the completely unpredictable and destabilizing threat from Trump. (I, for one, don’t support the recent deal with China.) But surely no reasonable person can conclude that Canada provoked or is any meaningful way to blame for this crisis.

We have a winner.

I have trouble synthesizing the enormity of the Trump catastrophe. @coyne does not: theglobeandmail.com/opinion/…

The worst part about playing Monopoly is when you get to the last stretch where one person is obviously winning, everybody else is miserable, and every turn is just paying said person money.

Our guide to last year’s American election, former Washington correspondent @KeithBoag is back to give us his latest US political assessment. A year later with Trump - where are we and what’s changed? 🔊 on @CanadaTalks167 & podcast platforms at noon EST.

Sorry to see Heather retire after a brilliant career in news. Wise, skilful and kind - she is a role model for many. Her engaging manner made the morning show a great way to start every day. Congratulations, best wishes and thank you for your service! youtube.com/watch?v=k3ey_Zfz…

Delighted to hear such a bold defense of @l_stone on this morning's Curse of Politics, appropriately coming from @KoryCPC , Kory Teneycke. Few things align the CPC more closely with MAGA than their treatment of the media. Now they are choking on it.

The arguments against your position go back over 200 years, to David Ricardo’s discovery of comparative advantage theory. The US has only 350 million people, and cannot possibly produce everything that it’s consumers might want. We make use of the pool of 8 billion people producing things in the world to gain dramatic increases in specialization through the division of labor. Cutting ourselves off from foreign production means that our own markets become dramatically less efficient because we cannot specialize in our best uses of our workers’ labor, and our standard of living drops.
