Rainy day in London, so may as well check out some pubs in Brixton before meeting my cousin for dinner.

1) A trade deficit is not a loss
2) The deficit with Canada was $27B last year, not the $90B he keeps using
3) The deficit with Canada exists because American companies buy a lot of cheap Canadian oil
4) Uh, what
Trump: I do not want to lose $90 billion for the privilege of allowing Canada to have a healthcare system and other things that they shouldn't have. They spend our money!
Readers added context they thought people might want to know
The statement in the video misstates the US-Canada trade deficit as a $90B loss subsidizing healthcare; the goods and services deficit was $27B in 2025 and stems mainly from US purchases of Canadian oil while Canada's system is funded by its own taxes.

“Suspended…”
What are these lower-than-low standards for cops?
Most of us would likely be immediately fired from our jobs if this kind of behaviour came to light in our respective workplaces.

FYI Anko van der Werff and @SAS, firing elected union leaders for doing their jobs is illegal in Canada but despicable everywhere. @AirCanada @ALPACanada @swedishpilots

The United States convinced Ukraine to willingly give up their nuclear weapons by promising to protect them from Russian aggression. Here we are, decades later, betraying their trust. Those who support Vladimir Putin are the enemies of freedom and democracy
I never met Steve, but know a lot of his friends. By all accounts a great guy and a tragic loss. My condolences to everyone affected by his passing.

You have to apologise for swearing at midnight on the telly in the country that's going to livestream an execution.
Some nice northern lights over the ocean but sadly the fog didn’t show up. Too bad as my right-seater has never done a CAT 3 outside the sim! The good news is we were half an hour early. Bed time then perhaps a cask ale or 2 at a nice pub. 28 hours to enjoy London.
