Carney doesn’t rule out export tax on energy to U.S.
Asked whether the government would consider a retaliatory tax on oil and gas exported to the U.S., Carney said, “We have many options. And we will use them judiciously.”
“It’s a negotiation. You act when you act. You don’t pre-commit.”
Pressed on how Canada will actually respond next week if U.S. tariffs come into effect, the prime minister wouldn’t give details.
“This is a negotiation,” he said, adding that the government will know “a lot more” in a week. “In a negotiation, it doesn’t make sense to tip your hand.”
Noting that the threatened tariffs apply to all countries, not just Canada and Mexico, Carney said, “We have the best deal of a bad deal, is the way I would put it.”
More reciprocal tariffs are coming on April 2, including tariffs on sectors like forestry, lumber, pharmaceuticals and semi-conductors.
“We have a number of measures that we can take in response to those initiatives.”
Carney is asked when a phone call with Trump will happen. He says he and the president will speak “in the next day or two.”
Carney says that Trump reached out to him last night to schedule a call. If it takes place, it will be the first between the two heads of state. But Carney didn’t say when the call would happen.
Carney addressed Canadians, saying, “We won’t back down. We will respond forcefully. Nothing is off the table to defend our workers and our country.”
“I don’t want to set unreasonable expectations,” he added, saying there’s no silver bullet or quick fix, and that Canadians are understandably anxious.
“I have every confidence in our country because I understand what President Trump does not: that we love Canada with every fibre of our being.”
Those are both good rules. I wouldn’t be surprised to see information being weaponized more frequently as we get closer to the election.
They’re also good rules in general, too. Misinformation should be removed and repeat offenders should be banned.
I’d be surprised if Singh stayed on if they do actually lose official party status. Realistically though, they were close when the Libs were facing an historic, crushing loss. They were never anywhere near a position to form government based on polling.
I think it’s more about this moment than people giving up on the NDP long term. It’s probably more ABC than anti-NDP. Many see PP as a threat to the country, or least much less able to address the current crisis, so they’re aligning with the best chance to defeat him.
Wow. What a stunning collapse of support for PP! This poll puts the Libs chances of winning at 99.5% vs. 4.2% for the Cons. Even this polling average has their chances at 78% and still trending upward. Just polling/keep pushing (etc) but this seems like it’s Carney’s to lose at this point.
Really sucks that the NDP is at risk of losing official party status though.

3·2 months agoYep, exactly!
Recipes are usually described as all-grain, partial grain, or extract. Partial uses extract for the heavy lifting but you steep specialty grain for flavour and colour.
Congrats on your first brew!
You end up with darker beer using extract instead of grain because of Maillard reaction during processing. It may end up looking a bit lighter once it clears though.
