So much winning…I feel for the owners of the small US businesses and the workers at the large ones who are caught in the middle of #Trump ‘s stupid, destructive #tariff war with #Canada. But this is exactly what it takes to stop a #bully. US politicians, #newsmedia , and businesses, take note. Stop caving, work together, find out where you have collective leverage, and game on. Without you he’s nothing. Update: I’ve been warned this Substack post may be inaccurate.

BREAKING: Trump is now Begging Mark Carney for a Way Out of Canada's "Anti-Trump" Boycott/Tariff War, in Texts/Secret Phone Calls

The desperation is real. Trump’s illegal tariffs are tanking the U.S. economy, and Mark Carney is getting peppered by Trump with texts and late night calls.

I don't know this Dean Blundell character, but every single one of his op-eds / columns / blog posts / whatever you want to call them that I've read has been so overblown and out of proportion that it's damned near disinformation. When you really dig into it, there's almost never any significant amount of "there" there.

It seems designed to be clickbait.

@cazabon Thank you for alerting me. And damn! I so want this to be true. That’s why misinformation is so dangerous, right? Though I stand by all of my own words in the post.

Oh no, I don't disagree with anything you said. Quite the opposite.
