A man is dead after being shot by Peel police at Toronto Pearson's Terminal 1 Thursday morning.
The shooting happened shortly before 7 a.m. after police received a call from a member of the public about a dispute involving two or three people, Peel police Chief Nishan Duraiappah said. The group knew each other and was there "for the purposes of travel," he said.
Three officers responded to the call. Police had been attempting to mediate the dispute for around 10 minutes when the man abruptly took out a firearm and pointed it at an officer,
Those big GDP numbers about interprovincial trade barriers are wrong
A lot of public discourse in Canada right now is about how we need to urgently remove interprovincial trade barriers in the face of the Trump tariff threat. But if we look at the actual evidence, politicians need to lower their expectations about what is possible and not jump for problematic solutio...
In response to the threat of Trump tariffs, an old narrative about interprovincial trade barriers has risen from the dead. The idea that eliminating supposedly massive internal trade barriers would lead to thousands of dollars per year in gains for ordinary Canadians makes for great soundbites for politicians, but should we really believe that there is a free lunch to be had?
While politicians and media figures have claimed that Canada’s GDP could grow by up to $240 billion, such incredibly large numbers simply don’t make sense based on what we know about interprovincial trade. Prior economic research on purported barriers to trade comes up with numbers that are an order of magnitude smaller.

US interference in Canada much greater threat than China’s
The furor that led Paul Chiang to drop out of the election portends poorly for Canadian sovereignty. Amidst Donald Trump’s threats Canada should be seeking rapprochement with China not more Washington-instigated Sinophobia.

An east-west oil pipeline is a trap—Canada needs an east-west electricity grid
Trump’s economic warfare and threats of annexation have triggered a rare moment of political agreement in Canada. We desperately need to reduce our economic dependence on the United States, our leaders concur, and every option is suddenly on the table.
Clean electricity is perhaps Canada’s greatest strategic asset in the 21st century. Already, more than 80 per cent of electricity generated in the country is non-emitting. As more and more of the economy electrifies—everything from electric vehicles to heat pumps to steel furnaces—we will need to double or even triple total electricity production, which Canada is well-positioned to do given our existing infrastructure, expertise and geography.
In this pivotal moment, the nation-building project Canada needs is not another oil pipeline that traps us in a costly, declining industry, but an east-west electricity grid that enables a productive, resilient economy for the century to come.
congratulations to president trump for losing the... canadian election?
between this and the intra-day tariff chart, i'm not sure which is more ridiculous.
UCLA prof uncovers annotated draft of Deschênes list (Cdn Gov list of suspected nazi war criminals who settled in country post war) which Gov has previously refused to release to public
Prominent Ukrainian-Canadian advocates have opposed the release of the Deschênes list, with some raising fears about personal safety.

America Vs Canada: how would it play out?
I'm seeing some people taking the threats posed by the Trump admin to make Canada the "51st state" both literally and seriously, to the extent they're starting to game out the likelihood of some kind of military action.
Personally I don't take the threat of outright American subversion/invasion/etc seriously yet because I don't see the sort of coordinated propaganda effort I would expect from a country preparing for a military operation this controversial. Nor is there any real constituency of Americans I'm aware of with personal or material animus against Canada - right now I'm only aware of Trump mouthing off and Musk salivating over fake nerd maps.
Let's say I'm wrong though and he really is dumb enough to go full boots on the ground North of the 49th parallleeeeelllllll - what happ

OTTAWA — A new poll suggests that more than a quarter of Canadians — 27 per cent — now see the United States as an “enemy” country, while another 30 per cent still say they consider the U.S. an ally.
Another 27 per cent of respondents to the Leger survey said they consider the United States to be a “neutral” country.
The poll comes as U.S. President Donald Trump threatens to impose economically devastating tariffs on Canada and has repeatedly pushed the idea that Canada should become a U.S. state.
