Trump advisers took to the Sunday talk shows to launch furious attacks on Justin Trudeau for saying that US tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminum are insulting. One of them, Peter Navarro, said there is a special in Hell for Trudeau. Larry Kudlow, an economic advisor, had similar rhetoric saying Trudeau walked out of the G7 meeting and started firing bullets.

As crowds met marijuana business people dressed in business attire at the O’Cannabiz conference Saturday, naked proponents of the commodity cycled through the streets downtown. The red and white marijuana plant lookalike for Canada’s flag fluttered over post-hippie cyclists both svelte and sloppy. The conference was at the The International Centre in Mississauga. The above report from Brandon Rowe of City News is interesting.

Police say that there was some sort of altercation between the men and the victim following the collision. The occupants then fled the scene on foot, leaving the vehicle behind. The photo above was tweeted by City News and shows the bicycle  close to or wedged under a car.

Donald Trump has left the Quebec G7 meeting to go to his Singapore rendezvous with Kim Jung-un in Singapore. He was blunt as usual about US trade intentions toward Canada and Mexico. He said the US would settle either for a very weakened NAFTA agreement with both neighbors or separate deals with Canada and Mexico. No more three amigos, it seems. Best of all for the US, he said, would be no deal at all. It would hurt Canada and Mexico badly. But, Trump added, that is not what he wants.

1972 Old Timers

David Stanger has posted a 46-year-old program from an evening at Leaside Memorial Community Gardens when the NHL Old Timers played the Leaside Kings Juveniles (what a name). It is a hoot and especially fun to read and remember names of NHL stars of the past. Many will remember local pals too (or see themselves). Leaside Chit Chat

Golden State killer was caught using familial DNA tracing

The Office of the Privacy Commissioner of Canada has told Canadian Press that direct-to-consumer genetic testing companies are subject to federal and provincial private-sector privacy laws, if they are based in the country or have a real and substantial link to Canada and are engaged in commercial activities. Generally speaking, says CP, Canadian police would have lawful authority to pursue an action such as trying to identify suspects with DNA information held by private companies under those laws, the office said. It also noted, however, that the DNA Identification Act, which introduced the National DNA Data Bank in 1998, does not allow for familial searching. “Our view is that DNA constitutes highly sensitive personal information. While DNA profiles can help solve cold cases … and bring emotional closure to victims and families, their collection and retention must respect the highest possible standards of fair balance between security and privacy,” it said in an emailed statement.

Donald Trump is firing back at Canada Friday morning over what he says are unfair trade practices as he prepares to head to the G7 meeting in Charlevoix, Quebec. The latest series of tweets by Trump follow posts he made last night — including his accusation that the Prime Minister is being “indignant.” Among his shots is criticism of Canada for unfairly charging tariffs on dairy products shipped to the US. This is in fact a long-time and unfair practice of Canada and one which, according to commentator John Ivison, of the National Post, Canada has agreed to modify in discussions already completed. The other sensitive issue for the US is Canadian lumber. The heart of that dispute is the claim that the Canadian lumber industry is unfairly subsidized by federal and provincial governments, as most timber in Canada is owned by the provincial governments.
