Oh, Canada?
Authored by James Howard Kunstler via Clusterfuck Nation,
"Carney increasingly reminds me of Fauci. He has that exact same air of technocratic infallibility. . . ."
- Hans Mahncke on X
You go for decades without even thinking of the place. The Great White North. Very polite people, somewhat Scottish, seems like. There's poutine! Une invention Québécoise - an indigestible mélange of French fries, gravy, and cheese curds, like something you'd cook up at 4am after a toga party in a frat house. Ice hockey (of course, but was it necessary?) Polar bears. Puffins on the Labrador cliffs. Tar Sands. Plaid upholstery...
Years ago, we used to go up there from college in the farthest reaches of upstate western New York just to get a half-fake buzz of being in "a foreign country." Niagara Falls was like Times Square without the charm. Bunch of squalid wax museums and ashtray shoppes. Toronto was Rochester on steroids, beyond forgettable.
I once took a choo-choo train fr...

|
|
|

As Canada tariff talks collapse, who′s calling the shots in Trump′s trade team? (The Guardian)
|
|
|
US trade representative Jamieson Greer has a level-headed reputation but commerce secretary Howard Lutnick and White House adviser Peter Navarro also have key rolesHaving reportedly read Victor Hugo's Les Misérables, in French, during a military tour of duty in Iraq, Jamieson Greer considered himself an unlikely target for accusations of francophobia.But Donald Trump's US trade representative, hitherto one of the president's less high-profile cabinet members, found himself in that uncomfortable position amid the acrimonious collapse of bilateral trade talks with Canada that now threatens to degenerate into an all-out trade war between the two close trading partners whose economies are tightly intertwined.

Canadian Leftists Want To Use Great Lakes Seaway As A Weapon Against The US
If anyone had any doubt that Canada is a predominantly far-left country, one only need look at polls in support of Market Carney's trade war rhetoric against the US. Over 70% of the Canadian population is currently in support of Carney's decision to dismiss trade negotiations with the Trump Administration.
Much of the rhetoric online repeats leftist talking points, including the claim that America is now a "fascist" state and cutting a deal with Trump would be the same as "cutting a deal with the Third Reich".
Keep in mind, Carney was so close to a deal with the US that Trump had paused new tariffs and Carney asked premiers to put American liquor back on provincial shelves. The was two days before he abruptly backed out and abandoned any future talks. Why? Theories abound.
The most prominent theory being that Carney has been talking with US Democrats and was convinced to avoi...

Canada Is Poaching America's Top Scientists
Canada is taking advantage of growing uncertainty within the US academic system by offering hundreds of millions of dollars to researchers willing to move north, according to Bloomberg.
The Canadian government has committed C$504 million, or roughly $362 million, to support 64 scientists and scholars joining universities across the country. Three quarters of the recruits currently work in the United States, many at institutions including Harvard, MIT and the University of North Carolina. The remaining researchers are arriving from a dozen other countries, including China, Japan, Germany and the UK. Nearly half of the group coming from the US are Canadian citizens returning home.
The new arrivals include Sara Seager, a leading planetary scientist leaving MIT for the University of Toronto, and MIT materials scientist James LeBeau. The University of British Columbia is adding Brian Kuhlman, whose protein research was connected to work recognized by the...
