Colorado Wins FDA Approval To Import Lower Cost Drugs From Canada

By Jaclyn Allen | Denver7 Governor: program could save Coloradans up to $46 million over three years. DENVER — Colorado has won federal approval to import lower-cost prescription drugs from Canada, a move Gov. Jared Polis says could save residents as much as 60% on certain medications. “This is a big step in the fight to push back against big pharma and bring lower-cost prescription drugs to Coloradans,” Polis told Denver7's Jaclyn Allen in an interview Monday. “It ain’t over yet, but it’s a big step.” The U.S. Food and Drug Administration signed off on Colorado’s application after years of back-and-forth between the state and federal officials. Polis said the push began with legislation he signed in 2019 authorizing the Department of Health Care Policy...

The Capitol flagpole is not a friendship bracelet

By C. J. Garbo | Guest Commentary, Rocky Mountain Voice Colorado’s State Capitol is not a festival stage. It is a civic altar of sorts, the place where law is made, rights are protected, and citizens who disagree about nearly everything are still supposed to recognize one another as equals under the same authority. That is why a flagpole on Capitol grounds is never “just symbolic.” It is government speech, rendered in cloth and wind. Governor Jared Polis’ decision to hoist Canada’s flag over the Colorado State Capitol for the second-annual “Colorado-Canada Friendship Day” was therefore not appropriate, even if Canada is a friendly neighbor and a major trading partner. The problem is not Canada. The problem is the office. In March of last year, the Governor’s office framed t...

Iran Strike Underscores The Reality Of American Military Power

By: Chris Bray | The Federalist American military power is unrivaled, while Europeans and Canadians give speeches about shoving the American military aside and becoming rival powers. This is not real. Less than a month ago, Politico put this remarkable statement in a headline: “Top NATO allies don’t think US helps deter enemies anymore.” The body of the story went on to explain that “American military power is increasingly seen as an uncertain asset,” while fewer Europeans “still see the U.S. as an effective deterrent against enemy attacks.” Doubting the value of American hard power, Europeans have called for a transition to a new era of security independence in which they can confront enemies like Russia without the handicap of being yoked to a dumb and declining Un...

Trump to meet Carney for first time since Canadian’s election win

By Simon Kent | Breitbart U.S. President Donald Trump will sit down with newly elected Prime Minister Mark Carney in Washington, DC, on Tuesday for the first meeting between the two since the Canadian’s election win.

The 60-year-old Liberal Party leader and former central bank governor pledged during the Canadian election campaign Trump would “never break” Canada, vowing Ottawa would look to forge new trading alliances with its southern neighbor even as he added the “special relationship” with the U.S. is “over.” READ THE FULL STORY AT BREITBART

Trump threatens even larger tariffs on EU, Canada if they work together to cause ‘economic harm’ to the US

By Bradford Betz | Fox Business President Donald Trump early Thursday threatened even larger tariffs on the European Union and Canada if both economies worked together to do "economic harm to the USA."  Writing on his Truth Social platform, the president warned: "If the European Union works with Canada in order to do economic harm to the USA, large scale Tariffs, far larger than currently planned, will be placed on them both in order to protect the best friend that each of these countries has ever had!"  The post comes after the president announced on Wednesday he would impose a 25% tariff on all imported autos.  The European Automobile Manufacturers' Association (ACEA) issued a statement Thursday saying it was "deeply concerned" by Trump's announcement of additional tarif...

Fentanyl’s role in Trump’s trade war with Canada explained

By Anna Giaritelli | Washington Examiner President Donald Trump‘s executive crusade to punish three countries he deems responsible for the deadly fentanyl epidemic has raised questions on whether tariffs, especially on Canada, will solve the U.S. drug problem. In the Feb. 1 executive order, Trump identified Canada, China, and Mexico as playing significant roles in the U.S. fentanyl epidemic that has killed a record-high number of people annually. In turn, Trump imposed double-digit tariffs against each nation until the amount of fentanyl being seized at the nation’s border drops to next to nothing.

Canada backs down on electricity surcharge after Trump tariff threats

By Mairead Elordi | Daily Wire Canada backed down from its threat to impose a 25% surcharge on electricity coming into the Unites States after President Donald Trump said he would double tariffs on Canada’s steel and aluminum products. Ontario Premier Doug Ford said Tuesday that he had agreed to suspend the electricity import surcharge after speaking with Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick, which the two called a “productive conversation” in a joint statement. Ford and Lutnick said they plan to meet on Thursday to discuss renewing the trade deal between the United States, Canada, and Mexico that Trump signed during his first term ahead of April 2, when the United States plans to impose reciprocal tariffs on almost every country.

Trump announces flurry of additional tariffs on Canada

By Reagan Reese | Daily Caller President Donald Trump announced a flurry of new tariffs on Canada set to take effect Wednesday. Trump posted Tuesday on TruthSocial to announce that he directed the secretary of the Department of Commerce to double the previously announced 25% Canadian tariff on steel and aluminum. The tariffs are expected to go into effect Wednesday, Trump said, as he called on Canada to “drop their Anti-American Farmer Tariff of 250% to 390% on various U.S. dairy products.” “I will shortly be declaring a National Emergency on Electricity within the threatened area,” Trump wrote, who added that the additional tariffs were also in response to an electricity tax the country imposed on the U.S. “This will allow the U.S. to quickly do what has to be done to alleviate t...

Trump tariffs take effect: What to know

By Daniella Genovese  | Fox Business President Donald Trump imposed tariffs on Canada and Mexico and an additional levy on China on Tuesday, escalating tensions with key trading partners.  The U.S. began imposing a 25% tariff on goods from Canada and Mexico Tuesday, and an additional 10% levy on Chinese imports as Trump looks to curtail drug trafficking and illegal immigration. Earlier this year, the administration delayed these tariffs to allow Canada and Mexico time to negotiate trade deals aimed at addressing U.S. border security and halting the flow of drugs like fentanyl.

Trump confirms tariffs on Mexico, Canada will be implemented March 4

By Hank Berrien | Daily Wire President Donald Trump on Thursday confirmed that tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico will indeed be implemented on March 4, as well as hitting China with an additional 10% tariff. “Drugs are still pouring into our Country from Mexico and Canada at very high and unacceptable levels,” Trump wrote on Truth Social. “A large percentage of these Drugs, much of them in the form of Fentanyl, are made in, and supplied by, China. More than 100,000 people died last year due to the distribution of these dangerous and highly addictive POISONS. Millions of people have died over the last two decades. The families of the victims are devastated and, in many instances, virtually destroyed. We cannot allow this scourge to continue to harm the USA, and therefore,...
