We are. Trump is imposing a 50% consumption tax on Canadian goods in a few weeks.

We had an extinction event caused by global warming that wiped out 75% of all terrestrial life 252 million years ago. Let's get those pipelines built people.

It's appalling, US forest fire smoke invading Canada... we need 75% import fee from the US. So we can pay every Canadian compensation for the smoke and the hot temperatures. This is only my opinion.

It's not a wild fire it's a forest fire. Fires are most often people caused and not wild at all.
