“I won’t sugarcoat the fight ahead. But watching my speech, will remind you of one thing: there is no sitting on the sidelines.
No one is coming to save us. Each of us will need to make a choice – do we stand for freedom and rights or do we become complicit with the fascist oligarchs?
I know where I stand.“ - Member of Parliament Charlie Angus, Canadian
Horrible.
“Global Affairs Canada is condemning China after the country executed an unspecified number of Canadian citizens earlier this year in an act that violates "basic human dignity.””
I thought maybe the tension with the USA might provide an opening for rapprochement with China out of necessity, but this certainly sends the opposite signal.

“In essence, these trade agreements are not being supported, and the investors are just going to pull their money away,” Padilla says. “And that’s what we observed in the market.” https://nextcity.org/urbanist-news/tariff-whiplash-and-hud-cuts-will-cripple-affordable-housing-development #tariffs #TradeWar #housing #shortage #inflation #investment

Here is the full letter as printed :
I was mildly dumbfounded when I stumbled upon Mr. Crawford’s recent letter (”Alaska joining Canada is a brilliant idea”) extolling the virtues of Alaska joining Canada … and double-double-dumbfounded when I realized it was in response to Mr. Jones (”Alaska, let’s make the first move”). Is this a movement?
I may be just a “southerner” down here on Vancouver Island in beautiful British Columbia, Canada, but I have had the privilege of entering Alaska waters on my family salmon troller in the 1990s. It was a rather fraught time back then with the “Salmon Wars”, but today is an entirely different boatload of fish.
Alaska becoming Canada’s 11th province would be exciting for us, to be sure, and I can see myriad wonderful benefits for both parties, particularly when it comes to the reconnections between Indigenous nations. But there is one thing I would want to make clear and I think I can speak for the vast majority in my country.
I would want the decision to be by and of Alaskans first and foremost, and followed by a decision of Canada’s people to welcome you in.
As likely as it may be that we would both say “Heck Ya, eh,” respect for each other’s sovereignty to make that decision legally and peacefully, must always be of the greatest importance.
— Chris Alemany, Port Alberni, British Columbia
I welcome you, northern neighbours.
A letter to Alaska after realizing they wouldn't mind joining... Canada?

I'm sure it's all part of #Dementia #Trump plans to destroy international relations and the global economy.

Markets: According to Bank of America: "biggest drop in US equity allocation ever."
> A new survey from Bank of America shows that global fund managers are moving out of domestic companies in what analysts at the financial giant describe as the "biggest drop in U.S. equity allocation ever." The reason: growing pessimism about the country's economic outlook as the Trump administration beats the drum for a #tradewar with #Canada, #Mexico, #China and other countries

Trump’s trade wars threaten to inflict 'lasting scars' — not unlike the Great Recession: economist

“We tried again in 1812. Thomas Jefferson, the original Republican, described the acquisition of Canada as “a mere matter of marching.” This was incorrect. The United States launched eight or nine invasions of #Canada during the War of 1812, winning only one fruitless battle. The rest of the time, it got walloped.”
Canada is back in fashion:
"Canada is the second-largest country by land mass, with the world’s longest coastline. It is bookended by the Pacific and Atlantic oceans, making it ideally situated for global trade.
Marko Papic, chief strategist at BCA Research, also reckons Canada could be better off in a warmer world. “Global warming could increase agricultural yields, open up large swaths of the country to mineral exploration, and allow for new trade routes through the Arctic,” he said.
The country is energy independent, with the world’s largest deposits of high-grade uranium and the third-largest proven oil reserves. It is also the fifth-largest producer of natural gas.
Canada boasts a huge supply of other commodities too, including the largest potash reserves (used to make fertiliser), over one-third of the world’s certified forests and a fifth of the planet’s surface freshwater. Plus, it has an abundance of cobalt, graphite, lithium and other rare earth elements, which are used in renewable technologies.
“Canada absolutely has potential to be a global superpower,” added Papic. But the nation has lacked the visionary leadership and policy framework to capitalise on its advantages.
US President Donald Trump’s tariff threat has, however, shifted the Overton window. There is now a growing political consensus to unlock Canada’s economic potential and reduce its dependence on exports to its southern neighbour. That task will fall to either Prime Minister Mark Carney or opposition leader Pierre Poilievre following an election this year.
Canada’s GDP has long trailed its G7 peers, ranking 16th globally in purchasing power parity terms. A country with its geography could clearly generate higher output. To do so, the Canadian economy needs to become more efficient, raise investment and attract more high-skilled workers. Here’s how."

Well it's official, 2 out of 2 top turncoat quisling TRAITORS do NOT approve of #MarkCarney which should tell you all you need to know about both #Carney and his opponent #Poilievre that can't pass a routine #SecurityClearance during a #ForeignInterference crisis.
Trump's attacks against Canada, the EU, and other friendly countries is resulting in lost business revenue as they look elsewhere for purchases and look to revaluate and/or cancel existing business.

Considering we are now in a trade war with the deranged lunatic fascist regime in the US, we in Europe need a real alternative to the American corporations Visa Inc. and Mastercard.
This needs to be ordered by the Commission or the Parliament to the ECB asap.
Also, a system this central & vital to the economy working ought to be arms-length owned and run by the ECB.
#TradeWar Retaliation Will Hit #Trump Voters Hardest
As Trump imposes #tariffs on products from countries around the world, foreign govts are answering back w/tariffs of their own.
#China has targeted corn farmers & carmakers. #Canada has put tariffs on poultry plants & A/C manufacturers, while #Europe will hit American steel mills & slaughter houses.
