Doug Ford and Mark Carney make peace after changes to Chinese EV tariff

It’s pizza in our time.

Premier Doug Ford and Prime Minister Mark Carney made peace over Pizza Nova slices Monday in Etobicoke.
Ford, who settled for a veggie piece, bought Carney a slice of Hawaiian, joking, “I know you will probably get me on taxes so I’ll pay for this.”

Monday’s confab at a Royal York Road plaza came after the premier had complained last week that the prime minister blindsided Ontario when he slashed tariffs on Chinese electric vehicles earlier this month during a trade mission to Beijing.


Dougie seems to have bought into a new vision! The ChiCom spyware on wheels is still on the way but something swayed Ford.

Doug Ford calls federal auto strategy ‘great’ and says Ontario will be part of it after meeting with Carney and Joly

Ontario Premier Doug Ford appears to have had a change of heart when it comes to the federal government’s auto strategy after hearing more about it from federal officials.

“I also want to thank Minister (Mélanie) Joly for coming up with a great auto strategy that the minister has put together that we’re going to be part of,” Ford said at a news conference with Joly at Queen’s Park Monday after the two met.

Kinda odd the way Joly is lookin at Dougie…

Boycott the Super Bowl – The NFL hates you.

Last year President Trump became the first sitting president to attend the Super Bowl. This year he is skipping the game. You should too.

Trump told the New York Post in a January 23 interview that the blockbuster event, set for February 8 in California, is “just too far away.” Proximity isn’t an issue for the many millions who will be tuning in on TV and streaming (the global total is around 180–190 million; last year’s game boasted a record American audience of 127.7 million viewers), but they should boycott it altogether because the National Football League leadership is openly dismissive of the interests and desires of American football fans.

China’s envoy says Beijing, Ottawa ‘eye to eye’ on supporting Greenland

OTTAWA — China’s envoy to Canada says the two countries “see eye to eye” on the need to support Greenland’s territorial integrity and Beijing wants to play a productive role in the North — even as analysts warn Moscow and Beijing are working together in the region.

“China’s consistent policy is to respect the sovereignty and territorial integrity of all countries. That goes to Greenland, that goes to Canada, and that goes through all the other countries,” Chinese Ambassador Wang Di said through an interpreter this week.
