The orange idiot is trying to reverse psychology a country filled with people who are much smarter than he is.

The energy executives called for a simplification of regulation and a commitment to firm deadlines for project approvals.

They also want an elimination of the federal government's cap on emissions, the repeal of the federal carbon levy on large emitters and loan guarantees to help Indigenous co-investment opportunities.

Des activistes de Last Generation Canada ont été arrêtés mercredi matin pour avoir vandalisé un concessionnaire Tesla à Montréal, s’opposant aux milliardaires, comme Elon Musk, qui «détruisent l’avenir».

Les deux partisans ont lancé de la peinture rose sur la devanture du concessionnaire Tesla, situé sur la rue Ferrier à Montréal.

Le groupe a d’ailleurs exigé au Canada de s’opposer au patron de Tesla, Elon Musk, notant qu’il «détruit les démocraties et propage le déni climatique», peut-on lire dans un communiqué de Last Generation Canada.

«Nous avons pris action aujourd'hui, car nous ne pouvons plus supporter de voir le profit prendre priorité sur la vie. Les milliardaires et les ultra-riches sont en train de détruire notre avenir pour leur propre gain», a commenté un des activistes, Marcel Paré.

Quant à la seconde militante qui a participé au coup d’éclat, Valérie Lachapelle, elle estime que les ultra-riches seraient en grande partie responsables de la crise climatique.

«On ne se laissera pas mourir pour les grandes compagnies. On ne laissera pas les ultra-riches décider de notre sort, a dit la femme de 21 ans. On doit sortir dehors et déranger le petit train-train du quotidien pour qu'on se fasse vraiment entendre.»

Quelques minutes après avoir effectué leur coup d’éclat, les autorités ont procédé à l’arrestation des deux activistes.

Ladies and gentlemen, the dumbest person on the planet, Donald Trump.

Trump continually says the war in Ukraine is horrible, soldiers and civilians are dying everyday and he hates to see suffering and dying over there.

Well, has he thought what would happen if the USA tried to annex Canada? There would be people dying, there would be soldiers AND civilians killed, it would be just as bad, if not worse than Ukraine.

Canadians will FIGHT for our country. We will kill and die for our country if we have to, just like any other country defending an attack on their sovereignty.

Why hasn’t any reporters even asked him this question??

Keeping cultural works locked away for decades restricts access and stifles creativity. Reform is needed to restore public domain access.

Yukon-born, BC resident Jasmine Mooney describes the horrifying experience.

Would Canada Be Better Off Without Quebec?

In 1995, Quebec came within a hair’s breadth of leaving Canada. The referendum was so close, 49.4% to 50.6%, that many believed it wouldn’t be the last time Quebec tried to separate.

Nearly 30 years later, the movement is gaining steam again, with Quebec’s separatist party promising another referendum in 2030. But if Quebec finally went its own way, what would that mean for the rest of Canada?

Quebec has long relied on billions in equalization payments, benefited from government favoritism, and shaped national policy to serve its own interests, all while rejecting the very country that sustains it. From subsidized electricity to language laws to political dominance, the province has an outsized influence on Canada’s economy and governance.

It took just one meeting with Lutnick to reverse his strong stance and start saying:

Mr. Ford insisted Mr. Lutnick somehow wants to “boost up” Canada, despite Mr. Trump’s repeated threats of annexation and tariffs that could cripple Canada’s U.S.-trade-dependent economy.

...

“They aren’t coming into our country to take over, I’ll tell you that,” Mr. Ford said. “I kind of flip this around. What a compliment. We’ll never be a 51st state. Canada’s not for sale. But isn’t it nice that someone thinks we have the greatest country world, and they want access?”

...

The Premier’s comments follow last week’s high-stakes trade drama, in which he backed down from imposing a 25-per-cent surcharge on his province’s electricity exports to the U.S. Mr. Ford’s move prompted a vehement reaction from Mr. Trump, who immediately threatened to double the 25-per-cent duties he was about to impose on Canadian steel and aluminum.

VANCOUVER, British Columbia -- Tesla has been removed from participating in this week’s Vancouver International Auto Show over safety concerns, the event’s executive director said Tuesday.

Eric Nicholl said in a statement that the show asked the electric carmaker to withdraw because of a “primary concern” for the safety of workers, attendees and exhibitors.

Nicholl said Tesla was provided “multiple opportunities to voluntarily withdraw.”

“This decision will ensure all attendees can be solely focused on enjoying the many positive elements of the event,” the statement said.

I am asking myself if the Canadian population knows what that means to them. At irregular intervals, the EU is given more powers in order to have more power. There is currently a debate about whether the 27 armies should be converted into a European army. This would also affect you if you are part of the EU. In many areas, Canada would lose its powers and passing them on to the EU. This can be seen very clearly in financial policy. You would have to adopt the Euro as your currency and the European Central Bank would make interest rate policy. Of course there are more positive things, but you have to understand and accept that you would lose some of your independence.
