  • Our President and the Trade War with Canada

    TorontoWar on Trade?

    Did you ever wonder why our “President” is seeking a trade war with Canada?  Is it because California and New York will be hit the hardest by these tariffs.  These two states are traditionally blue.

    President Trump’s historic summit with Kim Jong-un in Singapore was somewhat overshadowed by the tumultuous climax of the G7 summit in Quebec. America’s closest allies are still reeling from the divisive summit and shortly after it ended, Trump lambasted Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in a barage of tweets. That was in response to a news conference held by Trudeau where he vowed retaliatory action against U.S. tariffs on steel and aluminum. Trump called Tudeau “very dishonest and weak” and claimed he “acts hurt when called out”, comments that have infuriated Canadians. The Globe and Mail newspaper called Trump’s outburst “one of the most flagrant manufactured crises ever perpetrated by an American administration against an ally”.  [1]

    Fairness, equality, and family are at the heart of their American dream—a dream shaped by their experiences as Cuban-Americans. The opportunity to always be able to provide for one another is central to that dream; yet as citizens they do not understand why the federal government discriminates against their marriage. [1]
