  1. Canadian governments ought to replace MS Office by #LibreOffice.

    (This is one of those actions that cause pain in the US, but benefit Canadians; governments should have done it long ago.)

  3. On Tuesday last week, #MarkCarney was Lord Halifax; Saturday morning he posed as Winston Churchill. I hope the latter persists.

  4. Trump is moving toward a new tariff on China over allegedly underpriced exports. Apparently the tariff button still has some paint left on it. Consumers may want to keep their wallets in the upright and locked position. #TrumpTariffs

    I care because #MarkCarney misled us about the #GordieHoweBridge deal; I want to know that he's telling the truth now. And I want to know what he found acceptable in the deal from last Tuesday, and what he found unacceptable in the deal from Friday.

    I know how I feel about the Trump Administration and what I heard about the deal last week. But I want to know facts; I don't want to have to trust my leaders blindly.

    "The Carney government frames the issue in terms of last-minute additions to the American position. But the agreement that was being talked about publicly before then was already unacceptable in its own right. And it prepared the ground for even worse deals to come."

    The "consent" comment was savage and delivered perfectly.

    Professor Wolfers has been attacking #TrumpTariffs for years and his analysis of this latest moronic policy regarding Canada is pretty awesome.

  13. @jfmezei So we should wait for the tariffs on CUSMA goods to be contested in the courts?

    See xcancel.com/IlyaSomin/status/2 for a lawyer professor's opinion on the new #TrumpTariffs.

  14. Canada is retaliating dollar-for-dollar after Trump slapped 50% tariffs on roughly $20B of Canadian goods. Congratulations, consumers: politicians have invented another exciting way for you to pay more while they call it winning. #TrumpTariffs

  15. "And if that was the [conclusion] the Americans had drawn about us — and, accordingly, that was certainly the belief held by senior administration figures like J.D. Vance — then capitulation was only ever going to be met with ever more and increasingly onerous demands."

  16. "We have already made too many concessions to the U.S., and we have seen, time and time again, that they neither respect these gestures, nor can be trusted to adhere to any agreement that more concessions might buy us. Worse, we were signalling weakness. We were demonstrating that our national appetite for resistance was confined to the symbolic and the costless."
