Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If americans don't rehab the word socialism, they're not going to even be able to have a word to talk about "making life a little less shit for the 99% that work to uphold the 1%'s lifestyle".

Or...call it something else: shelterism, anti-oligarchy, equalization, wethepeopleism...

It's weird, I could have sworn we negotiated a trade deal with the US back in the nineties, and then renegotiated that same deal about eight years back. Who was the president back then? Oh, right...

Note the “renegotiate the trade deal” in PP’s concession speech.

Conservatives will work with the prime minister and all parties with the common goal of defending Canada’s interests and getting a new trade deal that puts these tariffs behind us while protecting our sovereignty and the Canadian people.

Newton's 47th Law: Every economic Trump-outburst has an equal and opposite Lutnick-outburst.

In all fairness, a free trade deal is probably not what we, the comrades of the Socialist Regime of Canada, want. I think we'd be better off with something less Lessaiz-Faire.
