At least one federal leader is echoing U.S. President Donald Trump’s claim that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is using the tariff issue to his own party’s advantage. junonews.com/p/blanchet-echo…

NP View: Canada needs to secure the Arctic — now nationalpost.com/opinion/np-…

There are serious Canadian commentators now proposing the development of a Canadian nuclear deterrent. I know we went from zero to guerilla insurgency in three days, but let’s take it down a notch.

Ryan Reaves has carved out a remarkable hockey life, but he has always been a luxury the Leafs can't afford trib.al/tfgPG1s

Excuse me? Carney is well on his way to becoming Liberal leader and PM this weekend, but he's unelected and doesn't have a parliamentary seat. Hence, it's the equivalent of briefing a private citizen on sensitive material. Joly should be reprimanded for this...but she won't be.

Trudeau should announce that if Trump calls off the trade war he will quit politics next week.

Sounds a lot like “more of the same” stale Laurentian thinking to me. Just bigger. Higher taxes! More government subsidies! More tax supported debt! More economic dirigisme! All at a time of an aging population and sclerotic public services. Zero mention of rolling back the bloated federal state or massively wasteful green policies. Zero mention of aggressive deregulation. If we want to accelerate the flight of capital investment, and declining national wealth, then by all means let’s increase Canada’s massive tax burden while the US is aggressively cutting theirs.

The White House Press Secretary confirms that a one month exemption to the 25% tariff on Canada and Mexico has been put in place for autos, at the request of the big three automakers who talked with Trump last night #cdnpoli

It’s been over 3 months since Trump threatened tariffs. Can anyone point to one concrete thing the Liberals have done to a) move Canadian resource development forward on an urgent basis? b) find new markets for Canadian products/ services, including energy? I can’t. Not one.

One party has an actual plan.

Excellent move by @susanholt to look into recalling the New Brunswick Assembly earlier to allow for the debate and Ministerial Accountability on the Trump Tarifs and the Government's response. The Government is constitutionally accountable to the Legislative Assembly #nbpoli

It felt like a curiously Soviet entrance, as if every Republican there knew someone would be going over video to see who was clapping hardest and longest, but maybe my imagination...

George III was right: Americans are not yet ready to govern themselves.

Good explainer. "Trade war between Canada and the U.S. explained" bnnbloomberg.ca/business/202…

US tariffs inevitably bring Canadian, Mexican, and Chinese tariffs which means higher prices for lumber, steel, aluminum and more expensive homes and cars.

David Kelly of @JPMorganAM: "The trouble with tariffs, to be succinct, is that they raise prices, slow economic growth, cut profits, increase unemployment, worsen inequality, diminish productivity and increase global tensions. Other than that, they’re fine."
