Canadian officials said Monday that the country will be buying more submarines from the United States in an effort to offset the trade deficit the US has with its northern neighbors. The move is also an effort to prevent Trump from implementing tariffs on the goods sold in America from Canada.
In an interview with the Associated Press, Canada’s Ambassador to Washington Kirsten Hillman said, “[Trump] has a negotiating style which involves positioning himself in the best way he can for discussions. I think that is what this is.”
Trump has threatened to impose a 25 percent tariff on goods coming into the United States from Canada unless it fulfills certain obligations such as shutting down the flow of drugs and illegal immigration going into the United States. In addition to this, Trump has slammed the trade deficit with Canada as an issue that needs to be resolved.
“We are happy to source what we can from the United States. And we have some big military procurements coming up for example, replacing our entire submarine fleet,” Hillman added. “Maybe those are some purchases that can happen from the US”
70 percent of all military arms bought by Canada are through the United States, which includes 88 F-35 fighter jets. Alberta’s Premier Danielle Smith told reporters on Monday that narrowing the gap in trade between Canada and the United States is a better choice than having to deal with the proposed tariff. The message comes after Smith went to Mar-a-Lago over the weekend to see the president-elect. […]

Why One Survival Food Company Shines Above the Rest
Let’s be real. “Prepper Food” or “Survival Food” is generally awful. The vast majority of companies that push their cans, bags, or buckets desperately hope that their customers never try them and stick them in the closet or pantry instead. Why? Because if the first time they try them is after the crap hits the fan, they’ll be too shaken to call and complain about the quality.
It’s true. Most long-term storage food is made with the cheapest possible ingredients with limited taste and even less nutritional value. This is why they tout calories so much. Sure, they provide calories but does anyone really want to go into the apocalypse with food their family can’t stand?
This is what prompted the Llewellyns to launch Heaven’s Harvest. They bought survival food from multiple companies and determined they couldn’t imagine being stuck in an extended emergency with such low-quality food. They quickly discovered that freeze drying food for long-term storage doesn’t have to mean sacrificing flavor, consistency, or nutrition.
Their ingredients are all-American. In fact, they’re locally sourced and all-natural! This allows their products to be the highest quality on the market, so good that their customers often break open a bag in a pinch to eat because they want to, not just because they have to due to an emergency.
At Heaven’s Harvest, their only focus is amazing food. They don’t sell bugout bags, solar chargers, or multitools. They have one mission – feeding Americans in times of crisis.
What they DO offer is the ability for people to thrive in times of greatest need. On top of long-term storage food, they offer seeds to help Americans for the truly long-term. They want them to grow their own food if possible which is why they offer only Heirloom, Non-GMO, Non-Hybrid, Open-Pollinated seeds so their customers can build permanent food security on their own property.
