Canadian reporting in-only partially true. I have next to no respect for America the institution but I care about individual Americans just as much as my neighbors down the street.

We play your national anthem when you visit because it costs nothing to make you feel welcome while you visit us.

Trump being an asshole doesn’t mean we have to change our values. Kindness and mutual respect shouldn’t be transactional.

I don’t like the CEO comments but that’s a huge stretch of an assertion.

You may not have chose this but too many around you did. I believe if you’re not okay with what’s happening you have a responsibility to make noise and tell those around you that nonsense like this has to stop.

The scores of “don’t blame me / don’t blame all of us” comments ring hollow.

If Americans want to convince Canadians that they don’t want what the person elected to represent them wants then I expect to see “support Canada” rallies in every democrat-leaning city across the country.

Even if it did absolutely nothing to solve the problem it would at least fill me with a hope that a few people actually give a damn.

I’m hoping we soon hear several new trade announcements coming from NATO partners that will help us collectively reduce our reliance on authoritative governments of all stripes.

WHC is okay but I wouldn’t trust it with a serious setup. When a support response is needed it takes days not hours for any knowledgeable response.

I noticed last season’s Nature of Things has a whole episode dedicated to butts. Tina Belcher approves.

He’s hoping he’ll hurt us (Canada) enough that suddenly his offer to “save” us by becoming a US territory is appealing. Any sort of fentanyl or national security reasoning is just an excuse.

Go hard and target US corporations by invalidating US trade laws and allowing affected Canadian manufacturing to make lower cost tech products without the greed monopoly margins.

Good luck with those gas prices, pals. A bunch of people with unnecessarily large pickup trucks are about to get hosed.

The person who proposed shutting off electricity was Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario who could in fact follow through. It would definitely be the nuclear option but it would disrupt the power grid of several norther states we border.

I don’t think it will come to that. I think the orange idiot just wants some politicians to grovel and pay his tithe at the last minute so he can feel powerful. He’s “warned” of tariffs too many times to make me think he’s serious.

I’m in a pickle. Got proton and my own domain for email so I would be able to make an easy switch… but now I have masked emails for dozens if not hundreds of account logins.
