  • Right. Obvious to most except maybe those with only two brain cells strung together with spray cheese.

  • I swear to fuck i just read another article from 2 hours ago where that Hassent fellow was quoted as saying essentially the opposite of what is quoted here.

    These people are a mess. Shrodinger's trade policy. The US economy, a bag of shit and a ketamine addled advisor are placed in a box...

    It's rare, but occasionally he'll truth shart.

  • Not to mention illegal firearms and migrants. I believe that in all cases, the contraflow is much worse.

    I did read recently that the trade in illegal Canadian eggs being smuggled into the US is booming, however.

  • Nice. A clairvoyant on the internet. Very original.

    Trump had made it very clear since before his inauguration that he would be targeting Mexico, Canada, and China in his crusade against fentanyl.

    Coincidentally, those three nations are also the US' largest trading partners, where the only legal avenue for applying tarrifs within the framework of his own USMCA (the greatest trade deal, maybe ever!) is to declare a national emergency. 'Tarrif', after all, is his favourite word. Right after 'make', 'that' and 'large'. He's been obsessed with tarrifs since the 80s. Any excuse will do. And 'fentanyl from Canada' is the excuse that he burped up after a particularly greasy bucket of chicken.

    This trade policy by royal decree has been enabled by a national and bipartisan apathy to the abuse of legal loopholes and a general contempt toward foundational principles like the separation of powers. It's all very obvious. We don't have to guess at trumps motives or strategy here. He has rambled about it incoherently for years at this point. Subtlety is not one of his strong points.

    That's not to mention the influence of the First Lady, Lord Ketamine himself.

  • I hadn't even considered this. I think I have most of my ETFs with BMO (Canadian), but I might have some iShare's, too. Thanks for the reminder!

  • U..S. social media platforms are a national security threat and a major attack vector against Canadian democracy

  • Is it time for an expanded digital services tax? Why not tax foreign social media like we tax sugar, alcohol, nicotine, and fast food? The imposition of minimum pricing rules per account or per post would be a huge disincentive. Maybe regulate them like traditional media. Ban foreign ownership?

    Edit: spelling

  • It is trivial, but at the same time, this issue is a cultural flashpoint, extremely politicized, and also potentially a vote winner/loser. It's very unfortunate.

    I'm not sure what the answer is, but the US just voted for a neo-fascist regime, and some of these cultural/identity issues may have played a role in that.

    It's a tightrope, for sure.

    All I can say for sure is that whatever the Dems were doing didn't and won't work moving forward. Whether it's true or not, the perception of the democratic party seems to be that they care more about identity than everyday issues. For everyone's sake, it might be time that they attempted to change that perception.

  • Do it! Many have already deleted their accounts, including me, and the only thing that has really changed is that delivery takes a bit longer.

  • I can't deny the convenience Amazon provide people in terms of their logistics and the range of products available in one place.

    In saying that, it's really not that difficult to forgo, and there are plenty of alternatives. Don't buy books: get a library card. Buy your electronics from Canada Computers or other similar stores. Healthy Planet and Well.ca are great for cosmetics and self care. Trade prime for a Plex server. There are plenty of options.

    I fully deleted my amazon account at the start of this Trump mess and asked them to delete all of my personal data. Life goes on.
