I’m Hufflepuff or I’m NOTHING
Shit, sorry. Archive.today was still cooking when I posted it. I tried a bunch of different archives and couldn’t get anything to work either.
The MAU counter at mastodon.social reset. It happened at about the same time they had an issue and had to recover data so I think it was related to that.
I don’t know if this’ll be removed but self-posts without news articles aren’t allowed here (rule 2).
Is there a community for content like this? Like a focus on our participation in activism/resistance? Even if not here, this is amazing and something I’d still like to see somewhere.
I’m sure many are looking to cut out US suppliers. I think the gov’t would still have to allow time for the transition though because it’d be an enormous shock to anyone that wasn’t.
The delay was to allow businesses time to alter their supply chains. They’d still need the time.
I’m so here for Trump cratering Poilievre’s election chances 😎
He also said that Canada is unfair and doesn’t take US agricultural products:
The United States is Canada’s largest agricultural trading partner, buying 59.2 percent of Canadian exports and supplying 57.0 percent of Canadian imports. In addition, Canada is also the leading agricultural trade partner of the United States, when exports and imports are combined. USDA
It’s nonsense. He’s just making shit up. US Banks are already here doing what they want to do here: lending and investment. He’s talking about having branches for personal banking. It’s seriously just some bullshit he made up.
He basically just got “solutions” (read: cheap theatre) to two completely imaginary problems. The banking thing is nonsense that he made up and US banks don’t even want.
Trump caved, Trump lost. It was pretty apparent he was caving earlier today when the White House starting calling this whole thing a misunderstanding – and when Mexico agreed to do something they’ve already been doing for two years so Trump could spin it as a win.
That $1.3B wasn’t demanded or promised today. They did it preemptively in mid-December to avoid this whole situation.
They committed $200M and bunch of drug/border theatre today. Basically just allowing Trump to save face for caving.
Yeesh. Read the room, Rav.
“We pay hundreds of Billions of Dollars to SUBSIDIZE Canada. Why?” He posted on Truth Social. “There is no reason. We don’t need anything they have. We have unlimited Energy, should make our own Cars, and have more Lumber than we can ever use. Without this massive subsidy, Canada ceases to exist as a viable Country. Harsh but true! Therefore, Canada should become our Cherished 51st State.”
Those posts are so unhinged. Almost a declaration of war.
Definitely weird on first reading. New names often seem weird or dumb at first so maybe I’ll just get used to it. Anglicizing it might make sense? Fleamarkt?
There’s no logic to it at all. It’s absolutely not about that.
Almost no fentanyl is getting into the US from Canada. A vanishingly small amount of illegal immigration occurs through the Canadian border.
It’s just fascism and imperialism.
Pretty cool as far as farces go though
I, too, hate your stupid province sometimes.
(You seem cool though)
Uh… this is day 12. Feels like 12 thousand years though.
