Thanks, I just wasn't sure after all the rumours this weekend.
Question: Does it usually say THE PRESIDENT or PRESIDENT TRUMP?

🚨🚨🚨 BOYCOTT ALERT BOYCOTT CROWN ROYAL 👇👇🤬🖕🏼
I can't help thinking, as I listen to the reports on the horrible attack on Kiev last night, that it is quite similar to what happens to Gaza every day, and that barely makes the news.
Stop praying and start taking action.
I will believe Americans care about school shootings when they actually do something to stop them. And, no, "thoughts and prayers" don't count.
So people who are born there but have white skin are "outsiders"? This is bigotry.
I'm surprised there aren't hundreds of people out burning them tonight. (Maybe there are, and I haven't heard about it?)
Exactly. It doesn't matter if tariffs are cut as long as we don't buy any of it.
The "war" on Gaza is the one Trump *could* stop. Israel depends on the US, and a threat to cut off money and weapons would stop them. But he doesn't want them to stop.
This is true. You don't even get put on hold, just told no one is available, and you should call back. I eventually got through by calling the minute they opened in the morning. And they want to make *more* cuts?!
We are tariffing US steel and aluminum at 25%. They are tariffing ours at 50%. Carney didn't raise the tariffs when Trump did.
I had a nuclear heart test this morning. Hopefully I passed.
Then we should tariff US steel and aluminum 50%, and all non-compliant goods 35%. All he is doing is removing retaliatory tariffs, and getting nothing back in return.
More appeasing Donald Trump! This is not why I voted for Mark Carney! We are not going to get a good deal with the US. Trump will kill CUSMA. Bowing down to him is the worst thing to do!
Rick *has* picked a side. I hope he also lost a customer.
A good lesson for all of us this week: open.substack.com/pub/kmillard...
🙄
407 product categories are being added to the list of "derivative" steel and aluminum products covered by sectoral tariffs, with a 50 per cent tariff on any steel and aluminum content of these products plus the country rate on the non-steel and non-aluminum content. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
No complaints about rain. We need it badly.
So Pierre Poilievre is back. It is past time for him to get his security clearance if he expects anyone to listen to him.
August 19 is World Humanitarian Day, and this year even more than most I think it is important to take a minute to think of our fellow humans, many of whom are suffering.
Even worse, he said this (Ukraine) is the last war going on in the world! 🤦
Trump is lucky that all of the European leaders speak his language, since he doesn't know any of theirs.
If he does "have to" wear a suit, I hope it is a woman's skirt suit.
Good for them. I think the whole country is behind them. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...
It's a start. It should be lower than that.
Why do people keep acting like Trump is competent? It drives me crazy.
The one war Trump COULD stop in a day is Israel's war on Gaza. Instead, he supports the bad guys.
Just another lie/excuse. Trump has every intention of killing CUSMA, and is preparing to blame it on us. Hoekstra is just his mouthpiece.
Keep it up, Canadians! www.thestar.com/business/cro...
It only says a common room in the building has to be kept cool. I don't think that is enough.

Please sign the petition to stop this.
Now he is threatening to move in to New York and Chicago.
The National Post doesn't even pretend to be unbiased. I never read it.
Trump is lying about a crime "crisis" that doesn't exist to take over D.C., and the people of the US are not planning to stop him? Don't you understand that you will be next?
A Message to Mark Carney: Shut Down the Golden Shield Scheme Now open.substack.com/pub/charliea...
I don't like this, but it is because the US won't accept anything other than "M" or "F", and that is where Nexus is used.
I don't understand this. Surely the US networks want to stay on the air. Why would they try to please one man when they know it will lose them thousands (if not millions) of viewers?
Trump's plan for meeting with Putin: he agrees that Russia take over the parts of Ukraine they want. In turn, Putin agrees to the US taking over parts of Canada. Both countries have vetoes in the UN when others complain.
They need to move the Olympics out of the US.

Do not make a deal with the United States.
And this is why we need to keep Poilievre out.
Does anyone know when they are starting? Their FAQ says August, but I am not seeing anything.
This is crazy: The Americans who call climate change a hoax are attacking us over wildfires. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...
Canada needs to avoid US middlemen. That would solve the problem.
On Wednesday, a new report released by the non-profit Civicus placed the US on its watchlist following “sustained attacks on civic freedoms” across the country, according to the group. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025...
I wish I could say I was shocked, but little Israel does surprises me any more.
I hope they apologised to the employee for having to put up with the bigot.
Am I the only one wondering when they are going to try to throw US-born Black people out of the country?
Well, he had 34 convictions before he was elected, so don't hold your breath.
Of course the US will veto it. If anything is to be done, it will have to be by ignoring the US.
More innocent victims. 😢https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/ice-immigration-raids-pets-1.7600919
That's just creepy.
They'll pay more to pay less? He's as dumb as Trump.
I ordered this book online from Indigo (a Canadian bookstore). It is by a Canadian writer. I just found out it is being sent from the US. Not happy. 😠
I think part of the lonely women get less attention is that they don't use it as an excuse to kill people.

We can hope. (Did I say that?)
We can assume that, from now on, US jobs reports will be lies. Trump fired the commissioner because he didn't like the truth. wapo.st/4lXPibh
Unless you are Canada. We are the only country he hit starting today.
I have closed my LinkedIn account. This is disgusting. opentermsarchive.org/en/memos/lin...
So Trump had gone ahead with his threatened 35% tariff on Canada, and we are the ONLY country that is being hit today. Why? Because we dared to stand up to him, so we are being used as a warning. I hope Mark Carney crushes the US, no matter what it costs us.
That was so ridiculous I laughed out loud when she said it.
@mark-carney.bsky.social What are you going to do to hit back at Trump for the 35% tariffs? Canada expects action!
We need to hit them back - hard! www.cbc.ca/news/world/t...
Karoline Leavitt just gave me a laugh. She came on the news, and her first words were "President Trump is a humanitarian with a big heart". That *was* a joke, right?
France and the UK did the same thing, and Trump is dealing with them. This is just one more excuse.
Dividing into all departments doesn't make much sense when there is already a department specifically for it. Moving it to the provinces is a possibility, but I haven't heard anything about it. So far just the huge cuts.
Finally! Good to hear. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Why make it a threat? Simply recognize Palestine. www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...
I consider being called "nasty" by Trump a compliment.
So all the Palestinian victims deserve what they get? I have never understood the US when it comes to Israel.
The world’s caving to Trump. Canada should show him the door www.thestar.com/business/the...
Watching Katie Simpson fill in as CBC Newsworld host this morning. She is doing an excellent job.
Why is everyone giving in to Trump?? "The deal also includes $600 billion US of EU investments in the United States and significant EU purchases of U.S. energy and military equipment." www.cbc.ca/news/world/u...
I feel sorry for the poor people who have to do the translating.
I don't see that in any news report. If you read this one through, it doesn't even say that anywhere except in the title. I don't believe it has happened yet.
I am expecting to get my hip done soon. At this point I am almost looking forward to it.
The American department had issued a preliminary anti-dumping rate in March of 20.07 per cent, up from 7.66 per cent set three years before, which is in addition to the countervailing duties of 6.74 per cent. www.thestar.com/news/canada/...

www.ctvnews.ca/montreal/art... So now the US Coast guard is going into Canadian waters to arrest fishermen. What’s next, rushing the Tim Hortons and arresting Canadians buying donuts? #BoycottUSA
I knew they would acquit, too. and it still infuriates me. This is why women usually don't go through the hell of reporting an assault and being attacked by lawyers.
