A Canadian one dollar coin is often referred to as a Loonie because they have a picture of a Loon on one side. A two dollar coin is generally referred to as a Toonie as play off of Loonie, although it has a picture of a Polar Bear.

Ottawa has said it would respond with countermeasures should the tariffs materialize

U.S. President Donald Trump still plans to make good on his promise to issue tariffs on Canada and Mexico on Saturday, White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt told reporters on Tuesday.

Leavitt said Trump is also still weighing fresh tariffs on China for Saturday.

Trump said last week he would announce 25 per cent tariffs on Mexico and Canada on Feb. 1 unless the countries help tackle the twin issues of U.S. fentanyl trafficking and immigration.

Canadian officials have said Ottawa would respond with countermeasures should Trump's tariffs materialize.

 

U.S. President Donald Trump suggested that he could still hit Canada with tariffs as early as next month.

Speaking to reporters on his return to the Oval Office Monday, Trump recited concerns about the Canadian and Mexican borders while reiterating his threat to hit both countries with a sweeping 25 per cent tariff.

"We're thinking in terms of 25 per cent [tariffs] on Mexico and Canada because they're allowing vast numbers of people … and fentanyl to come in," Trump said.

"I think we'll do it Feb. 1," the president said in response to a question about when those tariffs could be implemented.

Trump, who was sworn in as president around noon on Monday, has been signalling since November that he would introduce tariffs on Canada and Mexico. Trump initially promised to do so on his first day in office, but a number of U.S. media outlets began reporting early on Monday that the tariffs wouldn't be a day one issue for the new president.

I have no problem with the red flag for a crash, or tyre changes under a red flag. The safety car for nothing is what has me shocked, especially when they weren't even using wet tyres. For the past few years it has been a complete joke how the stewards react to rain before even letting the drivers race on wets.

What the hell just happened? They just ruined what was a good race for no reason, and gifted Ocon, Verstappen, and Gasly a free pit stop? Wow, just let them race.

Discriminating against people who haven't hurt anybody just because someone thinks they are lesser beings seems quite different from trying to get your employer to stop supporting people slaughtering an entire country and innocent people. If anything the person discriminating against LGBTQ couples is more like the Israelis who are butchering humans than the people protesting the violence.

Most conservatives I've met, in Alberta, Canada, have giant ball-sacks hanging off their trucks... Somehow I don't think they are looking for women in the first place... Or they are lying to themselves.

It seems as soon as I block spammy kbin accounts it's just a matter of hours until the same spammers are spamming the same bullshit under a different similarly named account.

I let my XQ1 heat up for 5 or 10 mins, then pack the little corner screen and connect the whip to my bong and I can get decent bong hits at 230C. It's the first vape I've had that actually works with my bong and gets me baked like smoking through my bong. The downside it that it takes so long to heat up to the point where bong rips can be had.

I use an Arizer Extreme Q with my bong and it uses about the same amount of weed. But it's much easier to clean my bong since it doesn't really get dirty. Just a quick alcohol wash occasionally to keep it shiny. My lungs also feel better using it than just taking bong rips. I imagine the Volcano is somewhat similar (but much more expensive).

I still haven't been to Small Gods, or tried any of their beers, so I guess a drive up to Sidney will have to happen at some point.

Hoyne is one of my favourites, so it was nice that Helios got an honourable mention.

I was really rooting for Fowler last week but that final round had to have been demoralising. I too hope he does well. Rahm is probably my favourite out there, but he keeps browning his drawers and needs to drain those putts.

What's the yerba of choice for today? I have some La Rubia going into my palo santo guampa ready to start the work day!
