If appears there is going to be a 30 day pause on the tariffs. Unconscionable. Think of the millions of Americans who will die from Canadian fentanyl and cartels. He obviously doesn't care about the little people.

Not a fan of Jack Daniels personally. It's the taste, not the Trump.

Former vt snowmobile club treasurer charged with ebezelment
Clubs in my district no longer have individual bank accounts per se. They have "accounts" at the district. Permits are issued by the province, so that money is distributed down to the districts from the Ontario Federation. The district pays for everything as far as grooming goes. Clubs submit bills to the district for payment, for things snowmobile trail related. Clubs can do fundraisers and have their own accounts for anything they want, but that is not permit dollars. It's a fairly robust system for honesty and integrity. There was an entire district that was disbanded due to financial issues. I don't believe it went as far as theft, as in this story. More a lack of accountability by not getting quotes and pre clearing major expenditures. They were warned multiple times to do things by the book.

Only enough to know how they think, over at the state run media. I quickly lose patience with the socialist spin. I consider it brainwashing I'm forced to pay for. I listen to a fair bit of news/talk radio, albeit much of that is quickly losing it's appeal. Many of my US talk radio favorites, have consumed some kool aid type drink. I watch just about zero TV, news included.

You actually believe this is abut fentanyl, zero to do with trade? Seriously. No joking around, you think it's about drugs, not using it as an excuse to try and hurt the Canadian economy and force business to move to the US..

True. I'd doubt most of the electronics are made here.

Supreme Court rules Trump administration must unfreeze foreign aid payments
Ontario clubs are non profit, and regulated well. There was an entire district that was dissolved due to financial irregularities last year. Charity status up here has become tougher to get, thanks to many religions using it to funnel money into questionable activities.

Just an observation, but is he an example as to why so many across the world, dislike (or worse) those of the Jewish faith? He conjures up every negative Shylock reference in the book. When I hear him speak it's like listening to Oprah, AOC and Nancy Pelosi all at once. There are so many examples of other "cultures", rap, gangster, fundamentalist muslim, hard core fundamentalist Christian for that matter, that rub people the wrong way, but fact is fact, It's difficult to explain or describe, without someone calling you racist, but it's a stereotype for a reason.

We were complicit with disarming Ukraine while giving security guarantees well before Putin. If they still had nukes, this would never have happened. Peace in our time. History teaches us nothing.

Gotta be aware of what happens downstream when that amount of water is released. Local sled club pulled a dam and damn near flooded the highway a half block over.

If Kamala and Timmy were in office ..
What is wrong with cheap housing, not some fictitious "affordable" housing built by government, with tax money, but a single detached home having an actual value of say 200K? Everyone needs one, it's not like a Ferrari people can do without. Perhaps you like $10 a dozen eggs and $2 a liter gas? Canada has lots of land and everything it takes to manufacture a house. One of the reasons housing is so expensive, is government artificially raises the cost with a wide variety of taxes, green belts and regulation.

Dealers, according to the White House press secretary. I find that difficult to understand. I own 4 vehicles made in the US. I assume that means I can get parts tariff free?

On the plus side, the price of housing is dropping in Ontario. Go you O'range devil! I hope it gets low enough I can afford the cottage on a lake I've always wanted,...maybe even two? One around Hunstville, one around Timmins be nice. If we can get them down to a couple hundred grand, Ill be all over that.

If I need to eat the blue pill you swallowed, I choose no. What color is the sky in your country? I know what's happening, I just refuse to lift the tinfoil, light my hair on fire and run around naked screaming about the saucer people and the Rand corporation. I quietly build the branch MattVidian, stock it with various necessities and insulate myself as best I can.

What Now Flock
A majority of Canadians believe confiscating firearms from law abiding citizens is not only righteous, but will lcause gun crimes to fall dramatically, they also believed vaccine mandates and travel restrictions were the right call. The majority is not always correct. Go be with your liberal flock you dumbass.

If Kamala and Timmy were in office ..
No. As shitty as things are now, the odds of it being better under Kamala are slim to none. I hold out little hope our next government will be able to turn things around quickly either. I can't see Trump backing down on the tariff war. He doesn't admit to faults easily, let alone reverse course on poor decisions. Inflation will increase, life will become less affordable, unemployment will rise. Both our countries are in for a great deal of pain, long term. Canada has actually come together, crossing party lines in some cases. Our common enemy has united us. You are more divided than ever politically. One should fear what happens when the Democrats get back into power, which history shows they will. Their retribution will be both swift and harsh I think. Again, I am fortunate to be able to mostly observe the coming chaos.

I like Hondas built in America 👍... another avoiding tariffs
Don't want to burst your bubble, but there are very, very few vehicles that can be considered an investment. If one took the money the vehicle cost and invested it at a rate of %8 apr, there are few that would do better with the car. This is without the insurance, storage, maintenance costs etc. I've tried to lie to myself on many a toy, but it's reality. A $3000 '69 Chevelle would need to sell for $205,000 today, and that's before you put a dime into it, to be better than y'er average mutual fund.
