Scott Tribe - Proud Ketchup Chip Nationalist

I have my own blog, (not been active on it in awhile), but I help administer the Progressive Blogger website, which aggregates Canadian Progressive Bloggers. It's been around since June 2005. Blogging has died down a bit since the blogs heyday.. but there are still a few of us who remain :) You can find the various blog affiliates at <a href="http://www.progressivebloggers.ca" target="_blank" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no">http://www.progressivebloggers.ca</a>As for me I mostly post political stuff but also other random stuff as necessary (ie weather).

External threats to sovereignty and trade can make you reconsider past positions. “I’m open to it,” Wab Kinew said Wednesday of the proposed energy corridor that would pass through Saskatchewan and his province on the way to Ontario. #cdnpoli https://archive.ph/Y73uf

Might be about time to announce that Canada is going with a mixed fleet of F-35s and Gripens, amongst other things. Appeasement doesnt work with these folks.. and Trump doesn't do Quid Pro Quo's. The Prime Minister is a smart guy; he know this. Elbows back up. #cdnpoli #uspol

I wonder if Terry wished everyone a Happy Canada Day on July 1st before posting this comment today. (she's the commentary editor for The National Post if you're not aware of her) #cdnpoli

Dexter and Boo. Not subtle when they want to be fed.

I missed this part in the news announcing Canada posting a trade surplus: &quot;Canada&#39;s trade surplus with the U.S. reached its highest in six months ⁠at ⁠$7.1 billion and its share of exports to the U.S. dropped to 66.7 per cent — its lowest ever.&quot; Also: &quot;Canada&#39;s exports to countries other than the U.S. hit yet another record high in March. Exports to non-U.S. countries rose 9.1 per cent in March&quot; Carney is doing his job (and I guess Trump...

I&#39;d assert the majority of Canadians are pleased Canada is diversifying away from the US in trade matters, and would crucify a political party that said we&#39;d need to stop diversification to get a deal with Trump that he will likely scuttle when he&#39;s in a bad mood. #cdnpoli

I&#39;m sure the Conservatives will try to blame Carney for this. #cdnpoli #uspol https://www.notus.org/trump-white-house/united-states-mexico-canada-usmca-trade-deal-trump-congress-nafta

My interpretation: We&#39;re pretty worried we&#39;re about to lose part or all of the F-35 contracts to Sweden/SAAB/ the Gripen fighters.. so we&#39;re going to try and squeeze the Canadian government. #cdnpoli #uspol

RE: https://mstdn.social/@noelreports/116607440834832503 I have little doubt he&#39;s looking for alternatives to Canadian potash, which has a stranglehold on the US market and which he has a tariff on. He&#39;s famously said Canada has nothing the US needs and he&#39;s trying his best to make that true, tho he wont succeed #cdnpoli #uspol

I don&#39;t suppose they realize they&#39;re making it politically unfeasible for Carney and the Liberal gov&#39;t to pick the F-35 even if they wanted to, but as someone else said to me... they don&#39;t care (or they&#39;re even dumber then I thought). I will agree with the Pentagon over 1 thing: I think the review should come to an end &amp; the govt should go with the Gripens (&amp; the additional proposed benefits SAAB is promising we will get). Heck, can we g...

The US ambassador to Canada doubling down on playing dumb, or being ignorant.. or possibly both. #cdnpoli #uspol

Current CUSMA regulations require 3/4 of car parts to be &quot;North American&quot; sourced. I don&#39;t think Canada or even Mexico will likely agree to this. #cdnpoli #uspol politicalwire.com/2026/05/29/trump-wants-autos-to-be-at-least-50-made-in-america/

This would be a nice &quot;Made In Canada&quot; contribution to Prime Minister Mark Carney &#39;s pledge to diversify away from US sole sourcing of defence contracts. https://lfpress.com/business/local-business/london-armoured-vehicle-maker-pitches-new-artillery-vehicle-to-canadian-army #cdnpoli
