Sudden stoppage of Canada's main cold-rolled and coated steel product facility while supporting Trump's tariffs is a national security issue for Canada

The fact a Canadian won a Nobel Prize (Literature, Anne Carson) is probably a bit of icing on the cake considering how badly Turnip keeps begging like a needy bitch for one.

No doubt her work deserves it but I cannot help but think they considered the added slight to his Jabba the Hut'ness.

We should never forget that when Avi Lewis was threatened by one of Canada's largest newspapers

Mark Carney and Pierre Poilievre stayed silent.
