‘The worst is behind us’: Canada’s economy is defying some of the grim forecasts about Trump’s tariffs

The hardest hit areas have proven to be concentrated in Ontario and parts of New Brunswick, reflecting their reliance on automotive manufacturing, steel, aluminum, and lumber

WASHINGTON, D.C. — When U.S. President Donald Trump first threatened tariffs on Canadian goods, the forecasts were grim.

GDP was expected to decline three per cent in seven months, job losses in the auto sector would top 100,000, inflation would tick up over 3 per cent and Canada would be mired in a recession.

With Carney in power, the Liberals seek to turn the purple vote

At a steakhouse on Avenue Road in Toronto earlier this month, a number of conservatives turned up for a Liberal MP’s fundraiser. One was John Tory, the former Toronto mayor and onetime leader of Ontario Progressive Conservatives.

It was perhaps not surprising that Mr. Tory was at this fundraiser, given that the Liberal MP in the Eglinton-Lawrence riding, Vince Gasparro, was his deputy chief of staff at City Hall. In fact, Mr. Tory was the marquee special guest.


OH NO! JOHN TORY MAY DEFECT TO THE LIBERALS!

KLEIN: Senate tribunal shows our institutions are failing Canadians

“… The Senate of Canada allowed its space to be used for what was described as a tribunal on “Canadian responsibility.” In practice, it became a platform for speakers who have promoted antisemitic claims, defended terrorist violence, and spread bizarre, evidence-free accusations such as “rape by animals.” These are not fringe comments from an obscure website. They were spoken inside one of the most respected democratic institutions in our country. The room was booked by a senator appointed by the Prime Minister. Other senators were invited to join.”

‘Cultural break.’ U.S. senators say relations with Canadian neighbours are suffering

HALIFAX – The tariffs imposed on Canada by U.S. President Donald Trump have clearly caused economic pain for Canada, but a U.S. senator from Maine says he’s more worried about how Canadians are reacting on a personal level.

“Like any neighbours, there’s always going to be issues back and forth, and we’ve been fighting about softwood lumber for as long as I could remember,” Angus King told an international security conference in Halifax on Saturday.

“But the deeper problem is the cultural break; the idea that Canadians don’t think of Americans as their friends and neighbours, but as adversaries.”

Vivian Bercovici: The Toronto Jews caught in a real life nightmare on Elm Street

Within moments of entering a nondescript building on Elm Street in downtown Toronto, Jonathan Karten understood that he was in a very dangerous place.

On the afternoon of Nov. 5, Karten arrived at the address with a friend, Shoshanah OFlaherty. They were met on the street by a young representative from Students Supporting Israel (SSI), a campus group at nearby Toronto Metropolitan University (TMU). SSI had booked a room at the university for the meeting, but the administration cancelled at the last minute, leaving them scrambling to find an alternate space.
