When he announced he was running I believe he said he was running in Edmonton.

Presumptuous of you.
For all you know he could have been visiting a friends house.

To date, he has never said anything that conclusive about where he plans to run.

Big Daddy Trump's mouthpiece - Karoline Leavitt was quoted saying today, "Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people."

"Don't attribute to malice what can be attributed to stupidity" - and yet I think this is malicious.
It's a spun narrative to capitalize on the fact that most Americans do not, and have no will to, understand politics or taxation. If people like the person saying it, they have no motivation to find out if it's true.

At times they wallow in their own stupidity, like pigs in mud. Only those who have drunk the kool aid are going to buy that increasing prices for what you buy is really a good thing for you.

"There have even been calls for Canada to join the EU"A perspective on the trade war...
Honestly with the way the Canadian dollar has been performing, it sounds half-tempting.

The Euro is actually a bit higher than the US dollar, so not sure if that helps but we should try to diversify our trade. The EU and the UK are a big market, with a larger population than the US.

If Canada joined the EU, we would need to reduce ALL provincial and domestic industry protections.

We already have CETA (Canada Europe Trade Agreement), so we should probably stick with that and try make the most of it, rather than join the EU

I haven't thought about CETA in a while, but now would be a good time to press France, Italy, Poland, and Ireland to ratify the agreement.

I am surprised that Trudeau hasn't raised this issue publicly with the EU yet, it seems now would be the time to highlight the value of a free trade agreement between the EU and Canada. We are so close already!

It is hard to deal with someone who is demanding, petty and vindictive. Those who have not retaliated may feel better momentarily now, but I bet he's noticed the lack of resistance so I suspect he'll come back against them for more later.A perspective on the trade war...

The answer, as it often tends to be, is to write to your MP.

Here's a letter draft, feel free to amend and send:
To the office of MP __,
Canada has the opportunity to enhance its global economic connections in response to the United States' recent tariff increases. This situation is a favorable time for Canada to encourage France, Italy, and more EU nations to ratify the Canada-European Union Comprehensive Economic and Trade Agreement (CETA).
If these nations ratify the agreement, it would not only reinforce Canada's economic ties with the EU but also create a shared foundation for trade and investment amid evolving global trade circumstances. The value of this deal lies in its ability to improve market entry, lessen trade barriers, and unlock new prospects for Canadian and European enterprises, thereby fostering economic progress and steadiness in a volatile global market. Ratifying CETA could strategically offset the effects of U.S. tariffs by promoting an environment supportive of trade and investment, ensuring lasting economic success for all parties involved.
Thank you for your time, and for your continued representation of (Riding).
