There's pretty much only one possibility, Liberals + NDP majority to stand against the Conservatives.

https://theconversation.com/what-does-the-end-of-the-liberal-ndp-agreement-mean-for-canadians-238290

Liberals and NDP have worked together, plenty goals align, yet the NDP distanced themselves last year because the Liberals were losing hard and crossing some red lines with the NDP.

Supporting parties always run the risk of falling along with the government they support when its popularity plummets. The Liberals and Prime Minister Justin Trudeau have been particularly unpopular since signing the agreement in March 2022, and the NDP has continued to try to distinguish itself from the Liberal government — something difficult to do with the deal in place.

In recent weeks, however, the Liberal government has come under heavy criticism for its intervention in the railway dispute with Canadian National Railway and Canadian Pacific Kansas City.

Support for workers and the labour movement has long been a key NDP principle. In the face of such a high-profile lockout and labour dispute, the NDP seemingly could not implicitly support the government’s actions, and decided to publicly make that clear.

Withdrawing from the deal is not the equivalent of a vote of no-confidence in the government, and it doesn’t mean the NDP wants to immediately pull the plug on the Liberal government. Instead, the NDP wants full freedom to forge and promote its own policy agenda and its message to Canadians while distancing itself from an unpopular government and prime minister.

New Democrats may negotiate and vote alongside the Liberals on various issues, but they want to be seen as an alternative to them rather than their strong ally. By contributing to the expansion of the federal welfare state since the COVID-19 pandemic, the NDP also sees an opportunity to depict itself as the progressive and pro-worker alternative to the Conservative Party.

With Trump now dropping support for the conservatives, swinging support back to the Liberals it could happen again. Yet we're not there yet.

Liberal + NDP won't have a majority the way things stand currently and the conservatives are still extremely close to winning majority on their own.

"The butcher from the White House! Shamelessly lying, Trump explains to the world that Putin is not an aggressor and that he wants peace – that’s why he halted military and intelligence support to Ukraine. In reality, the ‘Butcher in the White House’ is deliberately weakening Ukraine’s defence so that Putin can launch unprovoked strikes on cities and critical infrastructure day and night. The goal of the Trump-Putin tandem is Ukraine’s capitulation. This opens the door for Russia to Moldova and the EU’s eastern flank."

Trump's second administration is 'unprecedented' to some, but historians find parallels in ancient Rome, Nazi Germany, and Latin American dictatorship. One word comes up again and again as the media, legal experts, and longtime government officials try to describe what Trump has done in retaking power and launching a campaign of revenge against his enemies: “unprecedented.”

It seems there is little to which his ferocious rule and brazen corruption can be compared, at least in the past two and a half centuries of the American republic. But the United States is still a young country, and a longer, more global view yields fascinating parallels to our moment that date back to antiquity. Here, seven historians tell Rolling Stone how monarchs, elites, and dictators of the past anticipated someone like Trump, the results of their often brash and short-sighted decisions, and what kind of legacies they ultimately left behind.

Trump's Historical Precedents, From Ancient Rome to Latin America

A 25 per cent surcharge on all Ontario electricity exports to the United States is now in effect, with provincial officials estimating that the measure will cost providers south of the border up to $400,000 per day. The surcharge is among a suite of countermeasures being taken by the Ontario government amid an ongoing trade war with the United States, including pulling U.S. booze off LCBO shelves.

In a news release issued on Monday morning, the province confirmed that "new market rules" are now in effect, which will require any generator selling electricity to the U.S. to add a 25 per cent surcharge, valued at $10 per megawatt-hour, to the cost of power. Ontario currently supplies electricity to about 1.5 million homes and businesses in New York, Michigan and Minnesota.

"President [Donald] Trump's tariffs are a disaster for the U.S. economy. They're making life more expensive for American families and businesses," Premier Doug Ford said in the release. "Until the threat of tariffs is gone for good, Ontario won't back down. We'll stand strong, use every tool in our toolkit and do whatever it takes to protect Ontario."

Ontario says it is implementing the new surcharge through an "urgent amendment" to the market rules that apply to the Independent Electricity System Operator (IESO), which is the arms-length Crown corporation responsible for the province's electrical grid. Speaking on background, government officials say the regulatory authority provided to the IESO does not limit the surcharge to 25 per cent.

In fact, they say the Ontario government "retains the ability to increase or decrease the surcharge at any time in response to the actions of the U.S. administration." Ford has previously said he would consider doubling the export tax to 50 per cent should "the economic attack" on Canada continue, but has not specified under which circumstances such a measure might be taken.

Ford has also threatened to cut off electricity exports to the U.S. entirely.

Ontario Tax On Electricity Sent South Of The Border Takes Effect Today

Chinese tariffs on a wide range of U.S. agricultural products take effect today in the latest escalation in trade tensions between the world's two biggest economies.

China, which is the largest overseas market for U.S. farm products, announced the tariffslast week in retaliation for the Trump administration doubling its tariff on Chinese imports to 20%. They include a 15% tariff on chicken, wheat, corn and cotton and a 10% tariff on sorghum, soybeans, pork, beef, fruits, vegetables and dairy and fish products.

UBS and Redburn Atlantic reiterated their sell ratings on Tesla ahead of the company’s April delivery report and first-quarter results, citing sluggish Model Y delivery forecasts and a lack of near-term growth catalysts. UBS slashed its price target by $24 to $225, which suggests 14% potential downside ahead for Tesla, while Redburn’s significantly more bearish $160 price target suggests the stock can fall more than 39%. “We foresee another year of stalled volumes without an imminent new vehicle launch,” Redburn analyst Adrian Yanoshik wrote. 

Tesla shares declined nearly 9% on Monday, bringing its year-to-date plunge to more than 40%. If trends don’t reverse, the stock could head for an eighth consecutive week of declines after giving up its post-election gains , its longest losing streak in 15 years as a publicly traded company.

Tesla’s post-election pop has almost disappeared.

Shares of the electric vehicle maker plunged on Tuesday, pushing the company’s market cap below $1 trillion and to its lowest since Nov. 7, which was two days after President Donald Trump’s election victory.

Are ya winning yet, America?

Democrats better ram it into Americans that their suffering now is not Canada's fault but Trump's, I better not see a single Democrat blame Canada even for hurting Blue States. Not all Americans is irrelevant when the country of America threatens you (land stealing) and attacks you (economically). Canada is acting in self defence.

I don't get worked up often, but this was one of those times.  

South African immigrant Elon Musk accuses US Born Senator of being a traitor to America for saying that he wants the war to end in Ukraine but we have to ensure that Ukraine has security to protect itself from a genocidal Russia in the future. I think Ketamine Musk forgot what country he is in for a second and thought he was tweeting from Russia. I don't know what part of this could be read as betraying America even to the most fucked up of minds, a traitor for not wanting Ukraine to be slaughtered? A traitor for wanting Ukraine to be safe?

This video killed most of my interest in Mr. Beat. 17:11 is the kicker. 

He has the nerve to call RFK Jr. and Tulsi Gabbard left-leaning. Left leaning compared to who? The Heritage Foundation? Fetterman as well who might be tepidly more left-leaning than Tulsi and RFK but is still a right-winger. And he thinks a social democrat like Bernie Sanders is similar enough to the people I just mentioned. 

Joe Rogan has gone more right-wing, it's undeniable. Even if he's still a more center-right guy, his interview of Trump was insanely disgraceful. I've seen other right-wingers be harsher on Trump whether questioning him from the left or the right (almost no room there). Joe decided to play pattycakes with a financial/administrative/war/sexual criminal. 

After wrapping up its seventh straight losing week on Friday, Tesla's slide continued, with the stock headed for its worst day since 2020. The company has now lost over half its value since peaking on Dec. 17, a drop that's wiped out about $800 billion in market cap.

Tesla Shares Plunge 14%, Head For Worst Day in Five Years

Tesla is the worst-performing stock in the S&P 500 this year, down 42% so far this year and falling further today.

Elon Musk is still demanding a $56 billion pay package from the company, and even trying to change Delaware law to get his payday.
