Canadians do not seek a trade war – but neither will we be bullied by Donald Trump | Jen Gerson
By Jen Gerson

A fundamental rupture in the values that have united North America is not a problem that can be wished away: this is a warning to the western alliance

"And I can’t help but think that, maybe, a technocrat who has spent his entire life in obeisance to elite power structures — a guy who has probably never had to tell so much as a Burger King manager to fuck off — is perhaps not temperamentally well suited to tell the new American Empire to pound sand."

"This week’s announcement of 50 per cent tariffs on a raft of goods is more proof that the Liberals’ ironclad strategy of “say tough things in public but then capitulate quietly on issue after issue” isn’t panning out."

"If we’re that pissed off — and we ought to be — then we shouldn’t be wasting time on symbolic nonsense like cancelling parties. Keep the bridge closed. Renegotiate the deal. Shut it down for years, if necessary. Do what we elected you to do."

Win win ...win win.

Scrap #SupplyManagement and consumers win, the west is placated, farmers in Quebec and Ontario seize an opportunity to become fabulously rich on global trade, we foster better links with Europe and Asia to further our diversification goals, and we anger the Americans all at the same time.

It’s Alberta; the province that consistently exhibits the inverse of one of Paul Wells’ most-famed Rule of Politics.

SCOOP: Jen Gerson: Elections Alberta's massive failure could have put people in danger. I tried to warn them.

From Jen Gerson, Canadians learn more from the Alberta Electoral List data leak. Essentially, Elections Alberta was notified by Gerson of a potential leak of sensitive data as early as March 31, 2026. But, according to a response from Elections Alberta dated April 10, 2026, the complaint was not pursued.

I would note that given the severity of the leak, and my previous comments of how Elections Alberta has been disarmed by Danielle Smith’s UCP, news of Elections Alberta declining to act on a credible complaint and leaving sensitive data exposed for a month should raise alarms across the country.

As noted from the initial reporting, the Elections Alberta data was processed by third party. How much more data was gleaned about Albertans, and the products of research and analysis that resulted may never be fully known.
