The American administration has started a trade war with Canada. In this context, it's worth keeping in mind that all of these sources of news are American owned.
Process their content accordingly...and maybe it's time to switch your news source.

Another reason why Pierre Poilievre is unfit to lead Canada.
His front bench are conspiracy nutters who are using the threat of an American takeover of our nation to peddle conspiracy drivel.
We need leaders with a vision for Canada.
Poilievre is too busy chasing the rage algorithm of conspiracy.

Regarding the latest Conservative scheme to force an election just as Trump comes to power:
I didn't survive 21 years in Parliament defending a working class and Indigenous constituency to get played for a sucker by Pierre Poilievre and his Vichy Conservatives.

The current head of US Health and Human Services Xavier Becerra is well advised to start mobilizing against H5N1 *now* before incoming RFK Jr hobbles the nation's ability to curtail a potential deadly pandemic.
And Canada... let's push that vaccine production/purchase button.

‘This is a David vs Goliath fight:’ Ontario court allows appeal in landmark youth-led climate case
In a decision released Thursday, three judges from the Court of Appeal for Ontario sided with the appellants in Mathur v. Ontario that a Superior Court of Justice judge “erred” in deciding the young people’s case was a “positive rights case” in an April 2023 decision. But, they fell short of determining the merits of the original lawsuit, calling for a new hearing.

An increasing number of Ontario school boards are reporting deficits and are using or even depleting their reserves, according to internal Ministry of Education briefing documents. #onpoli #onted
More Ontario school boards in deficit, using reserves: Ministry documents | TVO Today
The association representing school boards in the province says that, while the PC government has boosted the education budget, increases have not kept pace with inflation.
