Bitch slapping us? Where are those doubled tariffs he threatened to levy on us if we counter tariffed the US? Only bitch here is your bitch ass leadership.

That is, in fact, what just happened. We called his bluff and you all fucked off. And now you're blustering because your weak ass country and leader looks like a joke and you hate it.

That's strange, because we just bit you and you seem to have fucked off.

Why is a 50+ year old man surrounding himself with near children?

If you're into horror I liked The Void a lot.

I've posted this before, but maybe under current circumstances it could actually see some traction:

Imagine Canada Post starts Amazon-like storefront where Canadian businesses can sell their products while Canada Post sells something like prime where you pay a monthly/yearly fee for unlimited deliveries.

Turn Canada Post into a sort of highway that connects Canadian consumers to Canadian business anywhere in the country.

The fentanyl thing is the manufactured crisis he needs to circumvent CUSMA without congressional approval. What's really in his heart I couldn't say, but we could end the cross border drug trade entirely and it wouldn't change anything.

Giving up your national currency for one managed by the European Central Bank is the opposite of currency sovereignty.

See my reply to the other commenter in this thread. Additionally, currency sovereignty is a cornerstone of modern monetary theory, were Canada to want to adopt something like that.

[–] grte 10 points 1 week ago

Because national control over the Canadian dollar gives us a lot of flexibility that adopting the Euro would take away. Particularly in a country that is about to have to attract new trading partners to buy our exports, the ability to devalue our dollar to make those exports more attractive is going to be important.

I'd rather not give up currency sovereignty. Closer economic and military ties, sure, but not full membership. There's also the reality that some of the most powerful economies in the EU in Germany and France are flirting with their own neo-fascist movements.

The US Supreme Court ruled that laws don't apply to the President. All these articles talking about Trump breaking the law are falling victim to normalcy bias, a normal that died July 1, 2024. A referee isn't going to descend from the heavens to put Trump in the penalty box. If you don't like what's happening you won't be able to appeal to law to help you. Think of something else.
