Japan: 15% EU: 15% Indonesia: 19% Philippines: 19% This could explain why Carney has backed off saying he'd get 0 for Canada's Trump tariffs (on U.S. importers, let's never forget)
(Bloomberg) -- The European Union and the US are progressing toward an agreement that would set a 15% tariff for most products, according to diplomats briefed on the negotiations, via @europressos and @AlbertoNardelli.

From story on Alberta journalist intimidation: When a Globe reporter asked Ms. Smith about the story ... she said “I’m not talking about that” and laughed as she walked away. In an interview with CTV later in the day, she said, “I condemn it.” theglobeandmail.com/canada/alberta…
The mayor of Jasper just confirmed that the municipality will not be offering an apology to Premier Danielle Smith and Alberta, as she has demanded. He says the report is not political and does not lay blame, as the premier has stated. #ableg #cdnpoli
speaking as an actuary, i simply love the "you're on a 1-100 flood plain" and her asking "what year are we on?" just fantastic. you understand, intellectually, that basically no one can think statistically but seeing it in action like this is <chef's kiss>
This woman OWNS 37 acres of land. The government STILL told her she can’t put a tiny home on it. “I said, I own the land. It's massive. What's the problem?” Even when you own the land, the government still tries to tell you what you're allowed to do with it.

I just spoke with Alberta Premier Danielle Smith on the sidelines of the CoF. After talking major projects and trade, I asked her about the story of a Globe reporter being targeted online. She said: “I condemn it.”
The premiers (well, most of them… )have arrived in Huntsville. First up: a family photo. Ford says he welcomes everyone, thanks the OPP. The front of the resort is now a motorcade parking lot.

Who would surveil and try to intimidate a journalist like this, and do they think this is in any way OK in a democratic society?
Hi, yes, g'morning. This is awkward. But targeting a reporter - hi! - with surreptitiously obtained photos and details of her tooling around town is an attack on the public's right to know. theglobeandmail.com/canada/article…
When I was in Alberta this spring working on a story, people across the political spectrum praised her important reporting. These dirty tricks are a sign of how effective that reporting has been.

“In 47 years, I’ve never seen my father doodle.”
My father has a very specific way of speaking. People all over the world have mimicked it for decades. The insanity written in the Wall Street Journal, AIN’T IT and everyone knows it. Also in 47 years I’ve never seen him doodle once. Give me a break with the fake “journalisming’

A new-ish backdrop look at Danielle Smith’s Alberta Next panel: Row of blue Alberta flags, no Canadian flags. If Alberta wants to start behaving more like Québec within the federation, that’s sure one way. cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
The first meeting that Danielle Smith called to chart Alberta's future federal approach was DEEPLY pro-Alberta Pension Plan and related anti-Ottawa moves. What will she take from these self-selected crowds? New from me: cbc.ca/news/canada/ca…
