The mendacity here, just wow. From "they're terrible and won't budge" to "oh yeah, we had everything worked out." Revisionism is the way now!

‘Canada burned the bridges’: U.S. ambassador doubts tariff deal feasible before new year

The U.S. ambassador to Canada doesn’t foresee a new security and economic deal between Canada and the United States — which could see the reduction or full removal of tariffs amid an ongoing trade dispute — before the new year.

The hypocrisy is off the charts. Irony lies writhing in a dark corner.

“Donald Trump could do the only thing that a leader of a sovereign nation could do when a neighbour, another sovereign nation, decided to interject itself into American politics,” he added. “Canada slammed that door shut all by itself.”

Doug Ford's a grifter, but that ad was fair game and well played.

@elasticsoul @dyckron As the English would say, “even a stopped clock tells the correct time twice a day”. Likewise, even a thug like Doug Ford gets it right at some point, particularly when dealing with an opponent so incredibly stupid he makes Doug look like a Nobel laureate. Of course, to no one’s surprise, Doug’s trying to fundraise off the one decent thing he’s ever done. #onpoli #NeverVoteConservative #FordCrimeFamily
