The People’s Party of Canada leader believes it’s in the country’s best interests to negotiate a new trade deal rather than challenge US President Donald Trump’s tariffs.

People’s Party of Canada leader Maxime Bernier said Canada cannot “win” in a trade war with the United States and urged Canadian officials to try to renegotiate a deal rather than enact “silly retaliatory tariffs.”

“Is it that difficult to understand? WE’RE NOT GOING TO WIN A TRADE WAR WITH THE US!” Bernier wrote on X last week.

“We’re hurting our own economy ten times more than theirs with these silly retaliatory tariffs and giving Trump just another pretext to escalate the dispute.”

U.S. President Donald Trump has routinely cited Canada’s lack of action on drug trafficking and border security as the main reasons for his punishing tariffs.

A little over a week ago, Trump announced he was giving Mexico and Canada a 30-day reprieve on 25 percent export tariffs for goods covered by the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement (USMCA) on free trade.

However, Ontario Premier Doug Ford, despite the reprieve from Trump, later threatened to impose a 25 percent electricity surcharge on three American states. Ford quickly stopped his planned electricity surcharge after Trump threatened a sharp increase on Canadian steel and aluminum in response to his threats.

Bernier said that Canadian officials need to stop “all forms of retaliation” and instead take Trump at his “word and tell him we accept his idea of having reciprocal tariffs, and that the best situation for both countries is therefore to lower all tariffs.”

“We should tell him that we’re willing to put dairy supply management on the table and get rid of the sky-high tariffs that protect this unfair system. We should tell him that we are open to lower or eliminate any other tariffs in the context of reciprocity,” he noted.

Bernier also said it is important for Canada as well as the U.S. to sit down and reopen the North American Free Trade Agreement and “have a wide-ranging discussion over all these issues.”

“That is how to disarm the situation and find our way to a deal,” he added.

Immediately after Trump said he would impose tariffs on Canada, all of the country’s premiers, including Danielle Smith of Alberta, announced that U.S. alcohol would be banned from liquor stores. Ford went as far as ordering all the alcohol cleared from shelves.

Bernier mentioned one of the “key reasons” he supported the election of Trump was that he “has been opposed to these pointless and costly foreign wars and has promised to quickly end the U.S. proxy war with Russia in Ukraine,” unlike Conservative Party leader Pierre Poilievre.

It is not yet known how new Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney will deal with Trump’s tariff threats, but he’s not expected to make waves as a general election

The Trump administration released more than 80,000 documents today about the assassinations of former President John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Martin Luther King Jr. The move is a result of an executive order Trump signed after being sworn in.

The Trump administration has released what it is calling “all of the files” the government has in its possession related to the assassination of former U.S. President John F. Kennedy. 

The documents were made available on Tuesday through the National Archives. “In accordance with President Donald Trump’s directive of March 17, 2025, all records previously withheld for classification that are part of the President John F. Kennedy Assassination Records Collection are released,” it was announced.

Trump had announced Monday while at the John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts in Washington, D.C., that the files would be released the following day.  

“I am a man of my word,” he said, referring to his campaign promise to provide transparency on the matter.

Trump was at the center overseeing a board meeting. He has overhauled the organization during his first few weeks as president so it will host patriotic and pro-Christian events. 

More than 80,000 documents were released. The move is a result of an executive order Trump signed just days after being sworn in on January 20. The order directed Director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard to prepare a plan for the files’ release. 

GOP Congresswoman Anna Paulina Luna of Florida announced in March the launch of a website that contains the new files. Click here to access it. Luna was tapped by the Trump administration to act as the head of a “task force” to oversee their rollout. She previously stated she believes there were “two shooters” of President Kennedy. 

The contents of the files have been subject to speculation for decades following Kennedy’s death in November 1963. Various theories have been floated as to whether they would reveal who was motivated enough and who had the ability to carry out the attack.  

Polls show most Americans do not believe the Warren Commission’s claim that assassin Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. Alternative theories that have gained traction are that multiple shooters were strategically placed on top of several buildings in Dealey Plaza and that one on the “grassy knoll” in front of Kennedy to his right fired at him too.

The files released today also contain information about the 1968 assassination of Kennedy’s brother Robert Fr. Kennedy and activist Martin Luther King Jr.  

Tucker Carlson discussed the files with former CNN host Chris Cuomo earlier this month. 

“There’s clearly information in those files that are going to make the CIA look bad,” Cuomo argued. 

“Just the CIA?” Carlson cryptically shot back, insinuating other entities may also be implicated. 

In a podcast released in January, Carlson and ex-Washington Post reporter Jeffrey Morley noted that Trump’s former CIA chief Mike Pompeo, an outspoken Zionist, urged him to squash the release of the files in 2017. Congress had voted in 1992 to have the files made public in 2017. 

At the end of their conversion, Carlson and Morley discussed the lesser-known fact that Kennedy was adamant about having inspections of Israel’s Dimona nuclear power plant. They also recalled how Kennedy was seeking to have the American Zionist Council (later the American-Israel Public Affairs Committee) register as a foreign entity. 

Whether the files reveal a connection to the Israeli government will be more readily known once their contents are more thoroughly investigated. 

Morley has taken to social media in recent weeks to explain how people can search the archived files related to Kennedy’s assassination. He has recommended they use the JFK Database Explorer here. 

Morley explains out on his Substack page that the National Archives has more than 3,800 records related to JFK on hand and that the FBI recently sent 2,400 additional files to the Archives for future release. He also notes that there are more than 319,000 documents comprising an estimated three million pages of material at the Archives II facility in College Park, Maryland.
