Canada calls his bluffThe world has figured out Trump's negotiating style and various countries are adjusting their strategies. Here's Canada re tariffs:
Prime Minister Mark Carney told his negotiators to walk away from the table after the Trump administration introduced late unacceptable demands on culture, autos and sovereignty that, when taken in concert with their overall approach to talks, revealed the U.S. was not interested in a "true economic partnership" with Canada.
In a departure from his usual diplomatic language, Carney suggested the U.S. sometimes signs trade deals in "pencil," and while Canada's government is united and working together, the same is not true of the Trump administration.
"We cannot accept what they've offered, and we will not give what they've asked," Carney said on Saturday in Ottawa, adding that the United States 'asked too much and offered too little.'
The prime minister revealed that the U.S. had issues with Canada's subsidies for French culture; the prevalence of French-language media online and even the requirement to have bilingual labels on products sold in Canada.
"It was unacceptable right from the start, but the Americans kept trying and trying and we said no," Carney said. "Ultimately it's simple. That was never on the table for Canada and it would not have been acceptable to Canadians."

House for saleMe, too.
Lovely as both of them are, they feel too remote. Good for vacation. Not so much for living in full time. While I'm kind of a hermit in many respects, I still like having people living nearby me.

Cash dropsThe video shows what appears to be a roll of cash so thick it would impress Tony Soprano. White-gloved hands place the wad in an empty Doritos bag, and toss it casually under a tree. The camera pans to show people hanging out in the park, completely unaware of the treasure left in their midst.
Shortly after, an Instagram account called @nyc_money_hunt posts the video, writing beneath it, "Finders keepers Tag us when you find the cash!"
The next day, more than 200 miles north, an unrelated account called @passpassbos makes a similar post: "Here's a BIG drop for you Boston. Like this reel if you think the patriots are taking down the bills today!!!!
good luck on this hunt"Subsequent videos from each account show winners finding the money within minutes, and others not far behind, arriving too late to claim the loot.
