Canada's political ad in the US, which quoted from a speech by Ronald Reagan in which he denounced tariffs in general (because he advocated friction-less trade to boost business), didn't mention a narrow exception that Reagan has described in that same speech.

The exception was to punish alleged violation of a trade treaty for low tariffs.

Here is a detailed analysis comparing the quotation to the whole speech.

Was this omission a serious misrepresentation? I don't think so. The subject of the ad was the bully's tariffs on imports from Canada, and that exception isn't pertinent to this subject.

I don't entirely agree with Reagan's general position. It is possible to use tariffs to boost domestic industry, and legitimate to do so. However, for that method to succeed, it must be applied with careful thought — something that the US government has failed to do with its tariffs.

Israel permitted Egypt and the ICRC to aid HAMAS in searching for hostages' corpses in the part of Gaza where Palestinians are now usually shot on sight. This included equipment to dig up corpses buried under rubble. Finally, Israel was allowing HAMAS to do what Israel demanded it do.

Just a couple of days later, Israel bombarded Gaza widely, claiming that this was to punish HAMAS for not yet having finished that job.

This is absurd. It seems that Netanyahu sees no need to have a coherent policy, or even to pretend to have one.

*US climate activists condemn 18-month jail term for non-violent art museum protester.*

If they had actually damaged the art, that would deserve punishment. But they took care to make their "damage" purely symbolic, leaving the painting undamaged in fact. This punishment was pure injustice.

It appears that they were jailed for 6 months awaiting trial, too.

Deportation thugs have charged protesters with "conspiracy" and "intimidation" for a nonviolent protest. One of them is a candidate for the House of Representatives.

Deportation thugs were caught falsifying accusations against protesters.
