GREAT NEWS FOR CANADA! . . . SAD NEWS FOR CANADA:
The Great News For Canada, Is That As Of September 1, 2025 . . . Canadians will be Able to Cross Into the United States, Spend a Day Shopping for Whatever Wasn’t Tariffed by Canada Prior to Prime Minister Carney’s Tariff-War Against the United States of America, And Return To Canada With Their Purchases Tariff-Free.
For Those Who Weren’t Following This . . . What Carney Imposed on Canadian Shoppers was a Tariff of 25% on all Products Purchased in America, Including Food Items, which for as Long as I Can Remember, Have Always Been Tariff & Tax Free.
The Result Of Carney’s Folly . . . Millions of Canadians who Routinely Crossed the Border Into the United States of America to Do Some Day-Shopping Stopped Crossing.
What Was The Use Of Going South Of Canada’s Border To Shop, if What we Bought in America Had to be Paid in Costly US Dollars (In Comparison To Canada’s Weak Dollar), which is Something we Canadians Accept – Plus The Insult Of Tariffs?
In Case You Didn’t Know . . . If I Were to Buy a Product in the United States for $1.00 US; when I Returned to the Canadian Border, the Canadian Customs Officer Would Convert that US Product’s Cost ($1.00) into Canadian Currency Value . . . Adding Approximately 40% to the Value, Bringing The Cost In Canadian Dollars To $1.40.
Then Add Carney’s 25% Tariff On Top Of The $1.40 ($0.35), which Brings the Cost to $1.75, and then Add the GST (5%) and PST (8%) . . . Combined 13% on Top of the $1.75 Pre-Tax Total ($0.23), which Brings the Final Price of the One Dollar American Purchase to $1.98 Canadian.
Anne & I Can Live With The Difference Between Our Dollar Values, Considering America Has Many Products Canada Doesn’t Have. Add to that, Many Products Canada Does Have at Much Less Expensive Costs in America . . .
But Literally Doubling the Retail Costs of Items, Especially Food Products because of the 25% Carney-Tariff and the Harmonized (HST) Canadian Sales Taxes (GST & PST), Plus the Cost of Gas to Get to the United States & Back, Including the Cost for Anne & Myself to Cross the Canadian/US Toll Bridge Coming & Going ($5 Each Way) , It Made No Sense For Anne & Myself To Travel To America To Do Any Day-Shopping.
Multiply Anne & Myself By Several Million Canadians & You Can Understand The Issue.
On Top Of The Weak Canadian Dollar, we Canadians Get Nailed for an Additional 25% Canadian Carney-Tariff Imposed on our Return to Canada.
I LEARNED LONG AGO . . . DON’T START WHAT YOU DON’T PLAN TO FINISH:
Carney Used His Media Generated Phony Tough-Guy Persona To Get Elected. And Now that he is the Prime Minister of Canada, and his Tariff Hyperbole Has Failed Spectacularly, Carney Decided To End It All With A Whimper On September 1, 2025.
I Was Never In Favor Of Tariffs In Either Direction Between Canada & The United States Of America. And as a Result of Carney’s Tariff Folly, his Tariffs Have Cost Americans & Canadians Billions of Lost Revenue at Best, and at Worst – Hard Feelings Of Too Many Canadians Versus America, That Will Take A Great Deal Of Time To Repair.
At First Chance After September 1, 2025, Anne, the Boys (The Falconator, The Mac-Attack) and I Will Drive to Massena New York & Do Some Serious Day-Shopping.
Because of Carney’s Tariffs, Anne & I for the First Time in our Married Memory, Have Gone 5-Months Without Crossing the Border Into the United States of America. It Will Be Glorious To Be Back Again.
The Bad News For Canada . . . Our Relatively New Prime Minister (Carney) is a Piece of Turd who Lied to the Canadian People During our National Election (April 28, 2025), by Pretending to be the Tough-Guy, Who Was Going To Out-Trump Trump, Where in Reality, Carney Got His Ass Kicked Along With 40-Million Citizens Of Canada.
WHAT TO DO ABOUT PUTIN . . . ?
Putin Is A Thug & A Genocidal Murderer . . . Which Is Neither A Secret Nor Hyperbole.
If the Question by Trump & Others is . . . What Does Putin Want? The Answer is to Take-Over all of Ukraine. And it Also Wouldn’t Surprise Me if Putin Has his Eyes on the Rest of Eastern Europe, which is Only Speculative on my Part. But What Isn’t Speculative . . . Is That Ukraine Is The Prize.
I Don’t Believe Putin will Stop his Genocidal War Until he Either Takes Ukraine & Whatever Else he Wants . . . or Sucks NATO into World War Three, which is Why Europe with the Exception of Spain . . . Has Agreed To Ante-Up 5% Of Their GDP For The Financing Of NATO.
TALK IS CHEAP . . . AND CHEAP TALKERS TALK A GOOD USELESS GAME:
Does NATO Have The Gonads To Go Toe-Toe With Putin’s Russia? Who Knows?
THE PALESTINIANS – GETTING WHAT THEY WANT BECAUSE OF OCTOBER 7, 2023?
Kill & Ransom A Few Jews . . . And Get Awarded An Undeserved State Of Your Own.
The Palestinians Slaughtered, Raped, Kidnapped & Tortured More Than 1,200 Innocent Mostly Israeli Jews. They Tried to Overrun & Overwhelm Israel from Seven Different Directions Simultaneously, Starting The Day-After October 7, 2023, as they Continuously Bombed Israel Relentlessly with Thousands of Missiles Aimed at Israeli Civilian Targets from Gaza (Hamas), Lebanon (Hezbollah), Syria, Yemen (Houthis) & Iran.
WHY DO THE DIRTY WORK WHEN YOU CAN HAVE OTHERS DO IT FOR YOU?
To Add Whipped Cream & A Cherry Atop The Palestinian Terrorist Sundae . . . Countries Like England, France, Canada, Ireland, Australia & Others, are Doing all they Can to Pressure the United Nations into Recognizing the Arabs who Call themselves Palestinians & Live in Israel, As A Sovereign Nation Within The Borders Of Israel.
WILL THE INGLORIOUS JEW-HATERS SUCCEED? . . .
Not If Netanyahu & Trump Have Any Say About It.
Best Regards . . . Howard Galganov

Carney and Putin are similar in that they believe their own misguided propaganda. Canada and Russia are similar in that their people are besieged with b-s from their government and the media that cover for them. The major difference between the two is that the Russian people are forced to believe the b-s whereas Canadians for the most part choose to believe it. Actually, there is very little sunlight between the Communists and the Liberals (and their NDP apologists). Wake up before you vote.
Thank you…
Good read glad you are coming back to USA. Have a blessed day.
Shalom. Putin’s goal is to reconstruct the old ussr. Hope your trip back to the US is financially rewarding. Death to terrorists! Am Yisrael Chai! Od Avinu Chai!
EXCELLENT editorial right to the Point! Canadians are WAKING Up to Carney, he is all about making money for himself & his friends. He doesn’t care about us Canadians…we are SERF’S to him. Vote Out Carney NEXT Election!!! MAKE CANADA GREAT AGAIN CANADIANS…Vote out Carney!!
It’s beyond doubt that Putin wants all of the Ukraine. Historically Russia has already taken parts of Finland and I feel they are next to be invaded. The Russian population has been thoroughly brainwashed and believe that Russia is currently fighting all of NATO. And the Russian population have no idea of the real loss of life of their armed forces. Regrettably Trump’s peace proposals all hinge on the Ukraine capitulating. What land swap? Repeat of Chamberlain’s appeasement of Hitler?
Talk about Trump Derangement Syndrome! Punish your own citizens. Great move Carney. In the same vein, Putin has punished his own citizens with this senseless war. One million dead Russians. All male of military age. And those with advanced degrees in software engineering, etc have fled the country. That doesn’t leave a lot of potential boyfriends for fertile Russian women to marry and have children with. No boyfriend/ husband= no sex= no new Russians. Smart move Vladimir.
CARNEY = Bureaucrat = Unable as a Leader = Family Ties = Sad
I disagree. Don’t buy in the United States or don’t buy Chinese made goods. Buy Canadian where possible. Support our country’s industries if possible. There are lots of places to vacation in Canada, even in the winter. We should go there – or perhaps to Israel or anywhere else which looks good. Most of us poor old people cannot even afford the health insurance demanded by the United States. Holidays in the states are now mostly good for rich Canadians
