Some people may need a British <-> English translator for all that.

In British, that’s some pretty scathing language.

That hasn’t been true for decades. The wildlife that still exists is barely hanging on, and many of those forests are hollowed out from the inside, visible on Google Earth but not from the highway.

It’s funny; Canada’s retaliatory tariffs are designed to redirect Canadians to equivalent Canadian products that will now be more affordable, and so more desirable for Canadians to purchase. Trump’s response is… make those products less affordable in the US.

End result? Canada less reliant on US products, and US selling less product.

I’m not sure what Trump expected from a 1:1 response? When the markets aren’t equal, a 1:1 response makes absolutely no sense.

Don’t worry; Trump will stamp as often as you want.

2026 says “hold my eggs 2023….”

No… like with Trump, his statements are for an internal audience.

So please do something about your executive. Because we have to respond to the actions they’re taking in your name. Don’t like it? Restrain them. There’s millions more of you than there are of them.

Negotiate peace with who? Russia who invaded them for no reason other than a land grab? Or the US, who artificially created a conflict to gain more leverage over Ukraine to steal their minerals?

Time for the entire world to ignore US copyright, patents and trade marks.

I thought the point of all this was to ratchet up tensions so Trump could declare martial law and suspend democracy indefinitely.

“We have always been at war with everyone but Russia and China….”

“Vast amounts of fentanyl enter the US through Mexico from China. This is why we must slap a 25% tariff on Canadian aluminum and steel.”

A new market for Canadian Online Coopery?

“We MUST invade Canada. Not for the oil, not for the water, not for the minerals, steel or aluminum, but for the eggs! Get America cracking again!”

Political parties are themselves coalitions. Does PP really think that everyone voting C has the same goals and vision?

Provinces have been doing democratic coalition governments as long as Canada has existed.

In fact, NOT working together, like the Conservatives want, is what isn’t democratic.

Of course, I’m talking social democracy here, not the American “two wolves and a sheep vote on dinner” model.

They have a grocery store there, but those groceries get trucked in… over the border.

My lesson in this was way back when LinkedIn came out with an app. I installed it and the first thing it did was ask me for all my contacts and start pinging tracking servers. I uninstalled it immediately and avoided apps for web services after that.

Later that year, I found that if I HAD allowed that app to do what it wanted, it would have grabbed all that data and sent it to the company, who was selling it off to third parties. They got in a big class action lawsuit for it.

Those were the days. Now it’s just expected behavior.

I don’t know about the rest, but kids in Point Roberts have to cross the border just to go to school. There’s also pretty much no way to get groceries or anything else without them crossing the border.

To a Canadian mother.

Hah. Or we could end up with that. What’s the opposite of jury nullification?

How are they going to find a jury who don’t know who Luigi is and what he’s accused of?
