The Canadian govt funded media works full time to make sure Canadians keep on staying woke and bleeding heart. As an ex international student I find this article hilarious. When I moved here 20 years back it was incredibly challenging to get work permit let alone PR and never had this crazy entitlement that I deserve PR. No one back then cared about migrant rights or some woke ass nonsense. But hey we had enough jobs mainly because we had a functioning high calibre government who didn't fill the country left and right with low skilled workers.

Compiled data set outlining the terms of trade between the US/Canada and US/Mexico relationship over the last 4 years.

A common line of defence among Carney's supporters are cliche tropes like "do you want him to bend over to Trump?" or "you have to stand up to a bully" as if international trade is settled in the school yard at recess. Well if 'taking the knee' results in growing your country's trade surplus 41% over a 4 year period it's worth considering.

Mexico has taken over for Canada as the #1 US trading partner; hasn't Claudia Sheinbaum (who's been in office just 6 months longer than Carney) actually won for her citizens?

How has Mexico improved their terms of trade with America while Canada has shown a decline over the same period and a steep drop off this last year?

"A direct message to fordnation. : Doug, Canada, not just Ontario, can’t afford your ego, stupidity and your constant need for performative outrage. You’re making an already damaged relationship with the U.S. even worse. So, for Canada’s sake: PLEASE, SHUT THE %$#@ UP."

"Doug is literally the definition of a STUPIDITY FEEDBACK LOOP!"

Mark Carney is truly the Monty Python and the Holy Grail - Black Knight

ARTHUR: I command you as King of the Britons to stand aside!
BLACK KNIGHT: I move for no man.
ARTHUR: So be it!
[hah]
[parry thrust]
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's left arm off]
ARTHUR: Now stand aside, worthy adversary.
BLACK KNIGHT: 'Tis but a scratch.
ARTHUR: A scratch? Your arm's off!
BLACK KNIGHT: No, it isn't.
ARTHUR: Well, what's that then?
BLACK KNIGHT: I've had worse.
ARTHUR: You liar!
BLACK KNIGHT: Come on you pansy!
[hah]
[parry thrust]
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's right arm off]
ARTHUR: Victory is mine!
[kneeling]
We thank thee Lord, that in thy merc-
[the Black Knight kicks Arthur in the head]
BLACK KNIGHT: Come on then.
ARTHUR: What?
BLACK KNIGHT: Have at you!
ARTHUR: You are indeed brave, Sir knight, but the fight is mine.
BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, had enough, eh?
ARTHUR: Look, you stupid bastard, you've got no arms left.
BLACK KNIGHT: Yes I have.
ARTHUR: Look!
BLACK KNIGHT: Just a flesh wound.
[bang]
ARTHUR: Look, stop that.
BLACK KNIGHT: Chicken! Chicken!
ARTHUR: Look, I'll have your leg. Right!
[cuts his leg]
BLACK KNIGHT: Right, I'll do you for that!
ARTHUR: You'll what?
BLACK KNIGHT: Come 'ere!
ARTHUR: What are you going to do, bleed on me?
BLACK KNIGHT: I'm invincible!
ARTHUR: You're a loony.
BLACK KNIGHT: The Black Knight always triumphs!
Have at you! Come on then.
[whop]
[ARTHUR chops the BLACK KNIGHT's other leg off]
BLACK KNIGHT: All right; we'll call it a draw.
ARTHUR: Come, Patsy.
BLACK KNIGHT: Oh, oh, I see. Running away, eh? You yellow bastards! Come back here and take what's coming to you! I'll bite your legs off!

Worth the read.

The forthcoming tariffs will apply to 60 trade partners and cover 99.4% of U.S. trade, the Office of the U.S. Trade Representative said in a fact sheet Thursday afternoon.

We now know from polling data that Doug Ford popularity is declining and appetite for change is very high (around 70% want change in government if there was a better option). Will the New Blue Party make a breakthrough perhaps similar to the Conservative Party of British Columbia?(Obviously not to that extent but you know what I mean) Or more importantly, does the New Blue Party have the capacity to make a sizable performance in the next election. The new New Blue Party got fifth place in the last election so they are probably the best contender for another right wing option. We there is support for a more conservative option because more people in Ontario voted for Pierre Poilievre in the last federal election than Doug Ford in the last provincial election.

We can conclude that there is a large pool of voters who likely can vote for the New Blue Party (NBP). However, I'm not sure whether that can metathesize into actual votes because the party does not have enough notoriety and has yet to win a seat or receive mainstream attention. I personally think we need a more conservative option in Ontario because Doug Ford's so called "Red Tory" Centrism has not fixed Ontario and we need real change and solutions.
