Very impressed with the Swedish deputy PM & her comments on Canada's relationship with Sweden in defense vs the US. Although Canada has not yet made a decision about the Gripens, we did sign significant strategic partnership with Sweden today. We need to choose countries like Sweden as partners.
Tough question from Vassy Kapelos to Ebba Busch (Deputy Prime Minister of Sweden) and she comes back with a phenomenal answer.
She did not mince words when she said “Threat from a so called friend”
I love it. LETS GOOOOO

Turns out they were *hiding behind the curtains* like a couple of rangy toddlers inside the clearance rack at Kresgie's while their mom shops for off-season bargains — ready to leap into their seats in case the vote went election-ish.

2 interesting that I learned about #canpoli today. The tradition of the finance minister wearing new shoes presenting the budget is uniquely Canadian. #Canada has more “floor crossings” (party switching) than any other Westminster style parliamentary democracy (never during budget presentation day)

Cambodia imports US products 100% tariff free. US charges 19% on all imports from Cambodia. So this will cost us here more to buy anything from Cambodia.
