This isn't a trade war. This is Donald Trump trying to drag Canada into the massive political dumpster fire he started in Washington.
Canadians won't be bullied. We will remain: True. North. Strong Free.
Elbows up.

"How should the Canadian government approach the US?"

As a potential threat: 38% (+25)
As an enemy: 13% (+11)

Cautiously: 24 (+1)

As an ally: 15% (-27)
On friendly terms: 8% (-9)

This is Marco Rubio explaining how the USA promised to defend Ukraine forever if they got rid of their nuclear arsenal left after the Soviet Union fell.

This is why lil marco was sinking into the couch. He was hoping we wouldn’t find it…so don’t RT right now this very second.

Trump’s new acting CFPB director in charge of reigning in predatory financial institutions is literally promoting a predatory payday lender.

Because something something working class champions.

This clown Dan Bongino is now the deputy director of the FBI: “Donald Trump can sit there. He can even wear, like, the wigs they wear in the U.K. court system, and he can just start making judicial decisions”
Dan Bongino: "How about Donald Trump, in the East Room of the White House, sets up a courtroom — like, remember the Batman movie, Scarecrow has the courtroom, or is it the Bane one? Was that the Dark Knight or whatever? That’s what we need to do." www.mediamatters.org/dan-bongino/...
Dan Bongino recommends that court orders against the Trump administration "should be ignored"

Canadian medias, you are expected to do better. Especially if you are funded by the public.

We’ve seen what has happened because of the abdication of the US main medias.

Don’t fall for rhetoric. Inform better. Do better. 🍁🇨🇦
CBC trying to explain how a "conversation" about whether Canada has a right to exist as a nation will be good because they have asked an American DJ to co-host.
Like asking Ukraine to join a "conversation" with Russia about their borders.
But don't worry it will be done with "care."
There have been a few times when Checkup has been hammered on social media for a program we haven't done yet. I'm in a show meeting right now. The gap between what's being posted and what we're actually planning is enormous. Our regular listeners should expect the same care we use for every show.

Crap - the tariffs might actually be as good for the USA as orange-man claims
Donald Trump’s Economic Masterplan: Trump’s tariff fixation is part of a global economic plan that is solid, not at all irrational, albeit grossly destabilising and potentially calamitous. Ignore at own peril. unherd.com/2025/02/why-...

If the CDN government pays for new ferries under the defence budget, we could call them part of the navy (and bump up CDN spending towards our NATO commitment)
AHOY THERE!

"JUST DO IT."

"with global shipbuilding costs already rising over 40% in just the past four years, delaying the procurement of these vessels would lead to significantly higher costs in the future, including for customers."

BC Ferries moves ahead on plan to build five new NMV ferries
The NMV project proposes to replace four aging vessels and add one new vessel to the fleet

Week three, day four. Chaos seems like an insufficient term to grasp the confusion and fear that has overtaken many of our government institutions, not just the ones Elon Musk is occupying, Times columnist Anita Chabria writes.
Column: Is it a coup if it's legal? When you make the rules, it's hard to break them
Is Elon Musk fronting a coup of the U.S. government? While pundits are quick to use the word, the truth is Musk's shadow power may be legal.

Panamanian President Mulino caved to Trump - under invasion threat - to cancel a Chinese port contract BUT he requested the US pay to remove undocumented migrants from Panama “We can do that, without a problem, under the total cost of the US. Panama won’t invest a single dollar in it.”
