The demolition of Edmonton's Coliseum, which has been closed since 2017, will not begin for at least two more years due to the extensive planning and hazardous material removal required. The City has allocated $35 million for demolition, in addition to the $9 million spent on maintaining the building. The Coliseum, once home to the Edmonton Oilers, will be replaced by a mixed-use urban village as part of long-term plans for the area. The new development is expected to take 25-30 years to complete.
Today was an important win for Canada and Alberta, as it appears the United States has decided to uphold the majority of the free trade agreement (CUSMA) between our two nations. It also appears this will continue to be the case until after the Canadian Federal election has concluded and the newly elected Canadian government is able to renegotiate CUSMA with the U.S. Administration.
This is precisely what I have been advocating for from the U.S. Administration for months.
It means that the majority of goods sold into the United States from Canada will have no tariffs applied to them, including 0% tariffs on energy, minerals, agricultural products, uranium, seafood, potash and host of other Canadian goods.

Trump had the Liberals jumping up and down screaming we will retaliate, we will retaliate! The CBC, CTV and Global were all screaming trade war, trade war!
Then Trump imposed no tariffs, and POOF, the entire Liberal election platform was gone.
(I know there are a few, Steel, Aluminum etc)

One of the comments President Trump made today was about money and manipulation of it. Curiosity got the best of me and had to look up. This paragraph stood out for me "Demand for our dollar is affected mainly by demand for Canadian goods and services—the more people want to buy what we sell, the more our Canadian dollar is worth. " So Trump was right in how he phrased it and our so called government is manipulating it as we have NO demand for our goods and services outside of Canada other than good old oil and gas.
