I suppose it’s time for Canada to change its procurement policies accordingly.

News@lemmy.world•US scraps limits on emissions from coal and gas power plants
15·4 days agoCanadian wildfire smoke went south of the border and Trump responds with tariffs (instead of help with the fires). So I guess we know how Canada should respond to the increase in American coal pollution that will inevitably enter Canadian airspace.

Canada@lemmy.ca•'Unhinged' for Canada to call dispute with U.S. a trade war: Jamieson Greer | CBC News
15·10 days ago““Prime Minister Carney used the term ‘war.’ It’s not a word we use, right? We don’t talk about it that way. For us, it’s business, it’s economics,” Greer told the FT News Briefing podcast.”
I guess we could just do some “business” and “economics” and stop sending electricity and oil to the US…

Ontario@lemmy.ca•Here’s why there's a push to get rid of cars at drop off and pickup | CBC News
3·12 days agoI agree on all fronts. Anecdotally, when I encounter the worst, most dangerous drivers on a weekday morning, they typically have young kids in the car and are likely rushing to do drop off.

Canada@lemmy.ca•Fact-checking the White House statement of facts about Canada
15·18 days agoNotably: “The White House says, “Canada has extracted a persistent average annual goods trade deficit of roughly $50 billion from the U.S. over the last decade — while refusing reciprocal access.”
The overall number is correct (it was $48.5 billion in 2025, according to the U.S. Trade Representative). But as premiers and others have repeatedly noted, the only reason for that is because Canada exported 3.9 million barrels of oil per day to the U.S. last year.
States near Canada’s border need the oil, and it’s sold at below-market prices, a significant economic advantage for the U.S.
If that oil were removed from the calculation, the U.S. would have a goods surplus with Canada. In other words, excluding energy, it exports more stuff to Canada than Canada exports to the U.S.”

St. Catharines? I didn’t see that coming (and still find it perplexing).
