LILLEY: Tariffs mean pain for Canadian workers, Carney owes answers

Politicians are arguing, pointing fingers and laying blame, but regular Canadians are about to feel pain.

As a new wave of tariffs hits Canadian industries, workers in plants across the country will start losing their jobs.

Some might be told as early as today that production is shutting down, that the tariffs make it impossible to continue or sustain current levels of production.

Amid Trade Deal Collapse, ABC Pushes Canadian PM Carney’s Anti-American Spin

In a brief report long on speculative doom and short on facts and data, ABC News, once again, instinctively took the side oppositional to the Trump administration. This time, the Disney subsidiary parroted the spin of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney while reporting on the collapse of a potential deal between the United States and Canada.

Woman flagged by ID scanner as nationwide ‘public safety concern’ after incident in Winnipeg bar

Woman flagged by ID scanner as nationwide ‘public safety concern’ after incident in Winnipeg bar

Privacy experts are raising concerns after a Winnipeg bar flagged a woman as a nationwide public safety concern through its ID scanning system, which led to her being denied entry to a Calgary Stampede venue in July.

Alexandra, a Montreal-based lawyer, went to the Riverside bar in St. Vital on June 6, where a person working security scanned her driver’s licence at the door using a Patronscan ID scanner.

She said she was not told why they were scanning it and had no idea an incident later that evening would lead to a flag that potentially banned her from bars across Canada.


This is creepy.

Zelenskyy repeats Ukraine not behind Nord Stream attack

Zelenskyy repeats Ukraine not behind Nord Stream attack

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reiterated on Sunday that Ukraine was not involved in the 2022 attack on the Nord Stream underwater gas pipelines.

“Ukraine has never officially taken part in any operation related to the blowing up of Nord Stream,” Zelenskyy told reporters on Sunday in response to a question about the ongoing investigation.

He said that Germany was “well aware that Ukraine did not stand behind the execution or the very conception of this operation.”


“Never Officially” what an odd choice of words, especially after two Ukraine nationals have been arested.

Canada’s Carney Puts His ‘No Deal Is Better Than a Bad Deal’ Doctrine to the Test

Canada’s Carney Puts His ‘No Deal Is Better Than a Bad Deal’ Doctrine to the Test

TORONTO—Over the past 17 months, as President Trump has freighted Canada’s economy with several rounds of punishing tariffs, Prime Minister Mark Carney has often repeated the guiding maxim for his negotiations with the U.S.: No deal is better than a bad one.

Now he’s putting that rule to the test.

After nearly a month of trade negotiations aimed at staving off more U.S. tariffs on Canada, Carney walked away from a deal at the last minute on Friday night, allowing levies of 50% on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods to come into force.

Canadian business leaders brace for lost deals after trade talks crumble, 50% U.S. tariffs take effect

Canadian business leaders brace for lost deals after trade talks crumble, 50% U.S. tariffs take effect

Canadian businesses and industry leaders are bracing for the full effects of fresh 50 per cent U.S. tariffs, crossing their fingers that domestic support will come quickly.

Prime Minister Mark Carney called his negotiating team back to Ottawa on Friday night after trade talks fell apart in the 11th hour because of what he said were “unreasonable” requests from the U.S.

Negotiators are no longer at the bargaining table, so U.S. President Donald Trump’s threatened 50 per cent tariffs are in force, covering a range of Canadian products, from wood furniture and cement to plywood and wine.


Business and Industry leaders? They didn’t object to the grievous harm caused Canadians by swamping us with TFW’s, Foreign Students, Family Reunification, and whatever other Mass Immigration scam they and the Liberals could dream up. Mass immigration is corporate welfare. I will not shed a tear for them. They didn’t for us.

I do care very deeply for those who will continue to suffer at the hands of the Carney government and the Corporate Welfare class.

I will never trust a word from the “Business Community” again.

‘I hate Democrats, but I love Abdul’: voters who left over Gaza return for progressive push

‘I hate Democrats, but I love Abdul’: voters who left over Gaza return for progressive push

Two years ago, Zainab Bibi Ahmed thought she had turned her back on the Democrats for good. Now, she is volunteering for the party’s US Senate nominee in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed.

Ahmed was one of 100,000 people to vote uncommitted in the February 2024 Democratic Michigan primary, in a bid to send a message to then US president Joe Biden about his support for Israel, as people watched what Amnesty International later called a “live-streamed genocide” in Gaza on their screens.

That November, Ahmed – a resident of Troy, Michigan, and an academic staffer at Wayne State University – opted to vote for the Green party’s Jill Stein amid calls to punish Democrats over the administration’s support for Israel.
