Fair point...

Well, hang on, #6... I mean, wait no, you're right, but...
The increases border security was announced back in December, but the "Border Tsar" was new.
I think at this stage, we could make a proclamation that "Governor" is an acceptable informal title for the Governor-General or something. This is already the stupidest trade war ever, and we already are suffering from the uncertainty. Buy us some time to further diversify.
Boycott is just as much (or more) because of the "jokes" about annexation. Tariffs despite the renegotiated NAFTA from just a few years ago is certainly concerning, but that will just add bite.
First Macron, then Starmer, and now Zelensky.
Listening to some of the Trump and Zelensky interaction. Trump and Vance are just shameless.
Sorry US-ians, wishing bad things for the US kind of. You guys have to get your house in order! A Presidential monarchy is not great. Even taking Trump and Vance at face value, the value of US agreements is purely at the whim of the current President. In under 4 years, it could all change. The are speaking only for themselves.
That's what I'm assuming the original diagram is showing, the "Observable Universe" in some sort of radically increasing scale.
I've got a copypasta for recommending Mastodon to Canadians looking to get more reliable news. I include some suggested starting follows for Canadian news sources and information. I'd love to add some official government Mastodon accounts to that list.
In fact, any other suggestions, I can try and improve it. I want to keep it pretty streamlined, Federated services are already kind of complicated and impose a bit of a learning curve. I focused on just Canadian hosted general interest Mastodon instances, with a good list of Canadian news sources. I leave the discover of Lemmy.ca and Pixelfed.ca for later exploration.
Here it is:
Consider making an account on a Canadian Mastodon instance, Mstdn.ca, TheCanadian.Social, CoSocial.ca or SocialBC.ca.
There's not so much of an algorithm to entertain you, so you'll need to do some work following, but check out Fedi.Directory, Interesting Accounts to Follow on Mastodon and the Fediverse and Fedi.Tips- An Unofficial Guide to Mastodon and the Fediverse. It's not all-or-nothing though. I would suggest setting up an account on a Canadian instance, supporting that Canadian instance, and then installing one of the many mobile apps for the Fediverse.
For some Canadian themed news sources, I recommend the following Mastodon follows:
- CBC News
- Global News
- The Tyee
- PressProgress
- Meanwhile In Canada
- Winnipeg Free Press
- The Narwhal
- Cory Doctorow
- Michael Geist
- Senator Paula Simmons
- Canadian History Ehx
Following #Hashtags is also a good way to stay in the loop on a topic. For now, I'd suggest #Canada and #CdnPoli .
There are also Canadian instances for other Federated services, but Mastodon is probably a good gateway.
The baddest Heeb this side of Tel Aviv.
He's gained valuable experience, he's an integral member of Trump's inner circle.
Not even getting good value in trade. Just get dinner at Mar A Lago, and use the bathroom in back of the jacuzzi or whatever.
I play it from the rocking chair, while my (admittedly obsolete) desktop mostly gathers dust in the basement. I bring it with me on errands and appointments.
It's just so handy! I already use Linux as my daily driver OS, but Proton has made compatibility so versatile.
Finally, it's powerful enough. Sure, on an external monitor when docked you might notice on some games,but the whole SD is cheaper than a decent graphics card.
Supposedly there are a bunch of WWE and MMA fans. Maybe it's time for Patrick "Brass Knuckles" Brazeau and Justin "Papineau Pugilist" Trudeau to team up.
