Some context here:

In the U.S. the tariffs are like one of 5 major political stories this weekend.

In Canada they are everything. Wall to wall coverage. The clicks on our tariff copy are setting records - never seen a reaction like this to a single-day news event.
If you’re wondering how big of a deal this is for Canada, the public broadcaster has been live-streaming coverage almost non-stop for the past 11 hours.

We all like to yell at the Democrats, but it’s really Speaker Mike Johnson and Senate Majority Leader John Thune who are letting Elon Musk and his faceless goon squad make a mockery of their power as leaders of a coequal branch without uttering a peep or lifting a finger.

Took my family on the tour of the BEP just a few months ago. This is... nuts.
Musk claims he was told -- I'll have to check the recording to see by whom -- that the Bureau of Engraving and Printing in D.C. has all broken windows and is a homeless encampment and no one goes to work there.

(That's bullshit. I drive by that building all the time.)

The most surreal and maddening feature of the campaign was that everyone agreed that high prices were the main issue but the guy explicitly, consistently running on a platform of raising everyone’s prices won voters most concerned about high prices.

We hammered this time and time again and yet.
