I know you’ll never read this, but I wanted to thank you. You gave me a place where I felt I belonged. Your kindness has truely touched me.

It is really unfortunate to see things where they are today. I grew up on the island so you remind me of home.
But like you, the moment I heard the US didn’t need us, I was going to do whatever I could to help my country.

Sadly not all of us are received very well.

I am so proud of this country and the strength we’ve shown. Canada has a really bright future. Brighter because of you.

>The plan was for a site to was to use cement to capture greenhouse gases in a process called carbon capture. But three years after the pilot, Heidelberg Materials is pausing the plan.

>The site was supposed to capture a million tonnes of CO2 annually, the equivalent of emissions from 300 thousand cars.

>But Heidelberg Materials confirmed to CityNews they are not moving forward with the $1.36 billion project at this time.

I gather we know the reason why, this referendum is forcing businesses to limit their exposure at this time. Because of the UCP, every one of us suffers.

We worked so hard on the routing. Then a new council came in, skipped the work we had done and built it their way.

If there were a few accidents then we could perhaps look to the drivers. But a consistent pace of accidents including against pedestrians is eye raising. Especially as we build another low line with the some of the very same council members. Nothing they promised was true. And as we cautioned, the route is little used, as recently they removed a couple of cars…

We also heard earlier this week that in fact nothing has changed downtown;, and taking transit is still dangerous. Drug abuse, assaults, and harassment. Every time you step onto transit, it is a gamble - One most just don’t take.

It should not be this hard.

My guess is that no one signed up to help Danielle win…. now outsourcing

>U.S. President Donald Trump has paused 50 per cent tariffs on Canada, saying the two countries have reached a new trade deal that just needs to be finalized. In a statement, Prime Minister Mark Carney said 'substantial progress has been made.But we are not done.

>For 60 years, Washington treated Canada like an atmospheric gas station. They took the resources and slapped on tariffs whenever it suited their midterms. NOT ANYMORE. Prime Minister Mark Carney just delivered a masterclass in statecraft, announcing a massive $10 billion federal investment to expand the Churchill Falls and Gull Island power projects and completely WRECKING Donald Trump’s predatory tariff scam!

By securing the Labrador Trough and locking down a zero-carbon critical mineral machine, Ottawa just bypassed the US choke point and built a global escape hatch. Trump thought he could bully Canada with a 50% tariff threat on $20 billion worth of Canadian goods before his Wednesday deadline, but instead, he’s staring down total humiliation. Watch how Canada just flipped the board and took control of the North American supply chain!

Once again we are appealing to Canadians. Our Minister of Health is failing each and everyone of us. It is enough, pushed to our limits in an intolerable circumstances.

No one deserves to be cut off from healthcare in Canada. No sick person deserves to wait 15 hours in a loud, uncomfortable chair in ER waiting rooms. No one deserves to die in that very room. Or to be turned away because of bed shortages.

No one deserves to be told, no not you, you aren’t rich enough….

The Minister of Health earns a salary. About damn time she earns it.

Thank you.

>In this video I look at the latest Canada US trade negotiations and why many Canadians do not want our government making major concessions just to satisfy the United States. We've already made gestures of good faith before and somehow we still ended up back here dealing with more tariff threats.

Then we head to Bellingham, Washington, where a new report shows just how damaging the US Tourism Decline and drop in Canadian Travel have become for businesses near the Canadian border.

And this is where I have a problem.

Why should Canadians be expected to cross the border and financially support American shops, restaurants and businesses while the U.S. government is actively putting tariffs on Canadian businesses and hurting our Economy?

I genuinely miss places like Bellingham. I spent a lot of time there. But Canadian consumers have choices too, and our money can support Canadian businesses instead.

The tourism boycott is no longer just about Travel. It's becoming part of the much bigger change happening between Canada and the United States.

Canada US relations, tariffs, tourism, the Canadian boycott, the US Tourism Decline and the growing US Canada Trade War are all colliding at the same time.

Let me know what you think. Should Canada make concessions to get a deal, or have Canadians already given the United States enough?

An honest look at Canada’s economy, the news isn’t bad. In fact, Canada has never had a brighter future…

>“At least six different pipeline projects are underway or proposed, which together could increase the country’s export pipeline capacity by 2.25 million barrels per day by 2035 and ultimately boost Canada’s oil exports, according to a Reuters calculation.”

>In a recent interview with the Toronto Star, federal Health Minister Marjorie Michel said she had concerns about how the legislation allowing for a dual-practice model could co-exist with the Canada Health Act. 

>On Monday, Alexandre Bergeron, Michel’s press secretary, confirmed to CBC News that a letter was sent by the federal minister to the Alberta government on July 24, asking the province to protect its public health system.

>“As the guardian of the Canada Health Act, our focus is to protect the integrity of the public health-care system and ensure that all Canadians, including every Albertan, can receive health care based on medical need, not on their ability to pay for it,” he wrote in a statement.

Seriously? A strongly worded letter? Where the hell am I? Have you met Robber Baron Smith??

Look who’s “nasty” now…..

Oh, here we go it’s the Russians….

Why? Isn’t this person in jail yet???

>“Everything is costing me,” she said, “and I haven’t even paid the renewal fee for the licence yet because I can’t get it.”

I recently went through something similar, having to go back home for more paperwork to prove who I am and my address ( which was the issue). I had my old ID, another piece of photo ID, my health card , my birth certificate and that wasn’t enough...
