Trump Just BANNED Canadian Products… But Nobody Is Asking The REAL Question (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Donald Trump has just taken the Canada-U.S. trade war somewhere extraordinary: the United States is now BANNING certain Canadian products from entering the country. Alcohol. Dairy products. Motorcycles. Nearly US$1 billion in Canadian imports are affected. But instead of asking the same question we've been asking for months, “What is Trump doing to Canada now?”, today we're asking something much more uncomfortable: Why Canada? Because Donald Trump deals with Mexico too. Mexico shares the same Am
Carney’s New Plan Exposes a MASSIVE Problem With His Last One (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Bill C-39 promises “one project, one decision, in one year.” But Mark Carney promised to fast-track Canada’s major projects last year. What happened to them? The government says 27 nation-building initiatives have been referred to its Major Projects Office, representing $200 billion in potential investment. In this episode of Tap the Maple, Bakes follows the difference between a project being announced, referred, approved, funded and built. We examine when Bill C-39’s one-year clock actually sta
The TRUTH About America Searching Your Phone at the Border... PROPAGANDA FREE (opens the original)
Read excerpt
CTV warned Canadians that U.S. border officials can search their cellphones without reasonable suspicion.

In this episode of Tap The Maple, Bakes digs into the actual
Upsetting Daddy: Carney’s New PBO Just Gave Him a BIG Problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mark Carney says Ottawa is on track to balance its operating budget ahead of schedule. But Canada's Parliamentary Budget Office has just released an analysis that raises some fascinating questions about what “balanced” actually means. The federal government now separates spending into operating and capital categories, and the PBO says some of those classifications “appear contradictory.” Even more importantly, the PBO explains that changing how expenditures are classified can affect the operatin
Carney’s U.S. Invasion Story Has One Huge Problem (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Mark Carney told The New York Times that Canada prepared for the “extreme tail risk” of American military action under Donald Trump. There is one enormous problem: Trump had already been asked directly whether he would use military force against Canada, and he said no. So why did Canada’s prime minister resurrect the image of an American invasion during a major interview with an American newspaper while attending the United Nations in New York? Why did Canadians hear this supposed revelation thr
