Here is a video of the press conference: This is GREAT news for Canada! Allowing 49,000 Chinese EVs to be imported to Canada at 6.1% most favorite nation tariff is a good start. To put the 49,000 into perspective in 2024 Tesla sold 55K EVs in Canada (I suspect in 2025 that number of Tesla...

I actually posted a tweet from Elon Musk pertaining to Canada which makes it newsworthy and worthy for discussion on a forum like this regardless of whether this happens or not. Also, the UK Telegraph newspaper published the very same information 2 days ago claiming that Starmer was trying to...

I agree with you. Whether someone likes or dislikes a particular building is largely subjective. Now, I don't expect the tower to win any major international architectural awards, but I am very happy to see what is being revealed at grade level with these historical properties. As a young man...

By this logic Switzerland should dismantle its famous and formidable civil defense force since there is no way it could repel an invasion by Germany and or France and Italy. The fact is Switzerland's famous civil defense structure has been able to repel much larger armies for centuries. Civil...

Canada has no advanced air defense systems on Canadian soil. IIRC Canada did place an order worth 100's of millions to buy a Patriot defense battery for Ukraine. Also, from best I can tell Canada placed an order for some Swedish MANPAD anticraft systems a few years ago. The order was about $250...

I hope that the Redpath factory continues to stay at this location although there are certain big safety concerns with a sugar refinery in this location. Google "industrial dust explosions". There is a reason why the condo that was built directly to the west of this plant has a thick blast wall...

The leaders of the UK, France, Germany, Italy, Poland, Spain and Denmark just issued the below tepid statement in response to Trumps threat to annex Greenland. In essence they say the future of Greenland should be decided by the people of Greenland and Denmark instead of declaring that if Trump...

He claimed Canada is just 1/3 the size of the United States in terms of population when we are actually about 1/8 the size in terms of population and 1/10th in terms of GDP. Are you also bad at basic math?

"But Canada having closer to 1/3 the population of the US might not be a bad thing in the long run" Huh? I don't know if you are just bad at math or you don't know anything about the relative populations of Canada and the US. I don't know what is worse. Canada has a population of 41,288,599...

Read the statement from Zelensky in appointing Freeland: "Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said on Monday he had appointed former Liberal cabinet minister Chrystia Freeland as an economic development adviser, citing her experience in attracting investment." So according to Zelensky...

World acclaimed investigative journalist Max Blumenthal (the best investigative journalist in the world IMO) confirmed my suspicions in this interview that the kidnapping of Maduro was carefully orchestrated. Blumenthal is an expert on Venezuela as well as the middle east and other conflict...

I agree 100%. Not only was this a handsome building but it was also part of Toronto's dwindling stock of affordable housing. I would bet many of the displaced residents lived in that building for decades protected under rent control. Supposedly the developer made commitments with the city to...
