Wednesday On Turtle Island

The Democratic Party’s America:    World War Xi.    Victor Davis Hanson – The socialist egg.    If women ruled the world.    Don’t upset the Muslims.

Conman Carney’s Canada:    A Windsor council candidate.    Another church fire.    Corruption.

Stories You Won’t Find At Carney’s CBC:    The tattoo.    Blasphemy laws.    Global warming scam.    A protest.    Sign of solidarity.

And at the Bee.

Stiffer Upper Elbows, Mates

Our new friends and overlords in the EU will step up to take it off our hands, right?

Right?

President Donald Trump moved Tuesday to sharply escalate the trade war with Canada, seeking to block imports of some motorcycles, dairy products and alcohol.

Senior Trump administration officials said in a call with reporters that the move was in direct response to Canada’s latest retaliatory tariffs, which took effect at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday.

The ban on importing Canadian alcohol in particular closely mirrors bans on American alcohol that provinces across Canada put in place in early 2025. They were imposed after Trump introduced sweeping duties on Canada, America’s longtime northern ally.

The measures announced Tuesday were signed into law under Section 338 of the Tariff Act of 1930, documents posted to the White House website show. That trade law was never used until Trump implemented new tariffs on Canada under the statute in late August.

A senior Trump administration official told reporters on the call that the White House also completed “housekeeping” on tariffs already in place. Tariffs on cement, road salt and hospital pads were removed and replaced with duties on all-terrain vehicles, some cheeses and motorboats.

Joly gets emotional.

At Whose Expense?

Every time a politician tells you that his policy will “come at a cost“, you just know he doesn’t have your best interests in mind.

Carney discussed Canada’s plan to respond to the U.S. trade war by striking new trade deals with other countries.

“We have everything we need to pivot and prosper,” he said.

“That pivot will come at a cost. There’s always a cost to action. But it doesn’t come close to the cost of standing still.”

Canadian Elbozo Boomer on Display

Here’s an Elbozo poster boy who exemplifies why Canada has declined so much:

It’s hard to believe that one man can be so stupid, ignorant, and wrong. The Lieberal propaganda, broadcast far & wide by the legacy media (and I suspect more than a few social media “influencers”) works wonders in the brains of the weak minded.

Our Chinese-Installed Governor In Ottawa (bumped)

Settle yourselves, peasants. You’re on a need-to-know basis.

Canada’s military reopened a formal channel to China’s People’s Liberation Army last Friday for the first time in eight years, and Canadians have learned of it only from Beijing.

China’s defence ministry says Canada and China revived their formal Defence Coordination Dialogue on September 4.

Canadians have learned of the meeting not from their own government, but from a terse statement issued by Beijing.

Update, from @RealAndyLeeShow;

Do read this piece from Global Times on our latest defence meeting with China. “Realizing the reunification of the motherland at an early date is the true way out for Taiwan.” Is that our official position?
