I almost said "telling me to google it is not a citation." 

If you've got a link I'll read it though. :)


Just facts: Canadian Tariffs - The Fulcrum

The Fulcrum - Bias and Credibility - Media Bias/Fact Check

There are many, many sources. I chose one that is on the Left.

Badge what's your point? Are you saying that the facts reported here are incorrect? Both MSNBC and Fox News are capable of factual reporting, regardless of their hard leans. The argument that CBS leans left doesn't tell us anything about this fact check.
Well, I just posted an article from a lefty site.

You can find a lot of information, but it matters where it comes from.

That's the point.

We all know where CBS sits. 60 minutes comes to mind.

So funny.  I WAS so tired of being embarrassed.  A senile, Dimentia patient in diapers finally gone.  
 Now  someone who is trying to do exactly what he said he would do.      I will take it.  Of course- my bias against violent criminals being invited in, $600K grants to a college to study men’s menstrual cycles and thousands of similar examples, and watching biological men dominate women’s sports- probably gives me a better outlook.

Example of bad "journalism" right here.

Elon Musk's Starliner? Really? Yes, there are people who will believe this.

On March 14, a journey that was originally supposed to be a little over a week — but was stretched out to nine months — came to an end. NASA astronauts [color=var(--accent-foreground-rest)]Suni Williams and Butch Wilmore[/color] were selected for the first crewed test flight on Elon Musk’s Starliner and were only supposed to stay at the International Space Station for 10 days, but when [color=var(--accent-foreground-rest)]NASA discovered several helium leaks and propulsion system issues[/color] on the spacecraft, the agency decided to send it back empty until another mission could be sent up to get the astronauts.

I’m really not on board with this whole Cold War with Canada, trade war tiff. I’m not even sure why, out of all the problems we have, why they chose to escalate this one. 

I do kind of find it ironic that one of the talking points is that we’re paying for Canadas defense, given the fact that they only share a border with us (as far as I know). I mean, I guess they are relatively close to Russia across the North Pole, but I do t think that anybody really believes that Russia would invade or threaten Canada.

if Canada has had stupid tariffs on the US for years, it's time to put a stop to it.
