Californian here. Is Canada’s offer to buy us still on the table?
Well now we can wait for a discount.
How’s that Starlink contract going?
Vermont imports a quarter of its electricity from HydroQuebec. We’ve made it very clear this past weekend what we think of the administration. All the same, I completely understand.
I would love to see short brief interruptions.
Not enough that period due, but enough that it’s a huge pain when computer systems go down and network switches have to reboot.
They are all on battery or gas backups. They would need to be weeks long outages to kill any data centers.
Data centers sure, but the cash at grocery stores, and office computers, etc. aren’t on UPS.
“Vast amounts of fentanyl enter the US through Mexico from China. This is why we must slap a 25% tariff on Canadian aluminum and steel.”
well said, Why does US let the fentanyl enter US in the first place? US customs are not doing their job? How are tariffs on random countries going to stop it.
Trump voters just hear “foreigners bad”.
I don’t think many Americans even consider Canadians to be foreigners.
Maybe that’s why he’s talking about annexing Canada. That and he being an egomaniac.
That’s funny because that feeling is definitely not mutual.
☹️
Lol sorry man but it’s the truth.
It’s okay. We still love you.
Odd way to show it…
I live in the US and I will suffer, but I really want the rest of the world to give us hell. Fuck Trumpler and president Muskrat.
As long as they don’t cut off gas to the PNW. Almost all the natural gas we use comes from Canada, and the majority of the voters there didn’t vote for this.
That would be fucking brutal, no heat or cooking gas.
worst comes to worst, they would.
Oh I’m sure. And Trump and other MAGA would look on with glee because they hate the PNW.
If other countries decide to bomb or invade us, please start with the south east
Maralago, then Disneyland, from there, probably Texas, Alabama, the bad Carolina and then Montana. The animaniacs should jump into a cool song for this.
once canadians/Europeans/ S.americans stopped vacationing there, florida will probably be dead before that happens. since retirees dont benefit the state in anyways, and is more likely to soak up all the tax money anyways indirectly
What the fuck did Disneyland have to do with Trump?
They were targeted by MAGA, Facists and Desantis for being too woke and allowing gay pride days etc.
I was criticized when I told people not to let Disney be the flag bearer of progress. They’re only ever been following market trends, not leading them.
Trump said Monday that “vast amounts of fentanyl got poured into our country” largely through Mexico and from China, and he encouraged car manufacturers to build plants in the U.S. to avoid the upcoming tariffs.
If the media actually did their jobs, they would add the context that the US seized all of 20kg of fentanyl at the Canadian border last year. This claim is, according to the US government’s own numbers, absolute bullshit.
They would also note that in order to enact these tariffs without involving Congress he has to invoke a “national emergency”, which is the only reason why he’s suddenly all about stopping fentanyl.
If the media did their jobs, they would be discussing how the amount of drugs available is not the reason for the drug epidemic, that addiction and mental health are linked more deeply to socio-economic problems, including structural economic problems, issues of social mobility, the destruction of the social fabric etc.
The media is doing their job. It’s just that their job is to normalize fascist rhetoric.
its called sanewashing, all of the MSMs have been doing this with trump.

This was actually new news to me, and I watch the news every night. Thanks for sharing this!
I was imagining scenarios where people were free-basing maple syrup or something.

Are you not? I guess, if you’ve never had Canadian maple syrup I understand
Actually all kidding aside, I’ve always wanted to try a real Canadian maple syrup, but the supermarkets near me never seem to sell that stuff.
I’m planning on making a trip to Canada to be a tourist at some point, and if I do I’ll be sure to hook myself up.
If you like maple syrup, go to Bulk Barn and grab a bulk bag of maple candy. Thank me later.

Thanks! I’ll be sure to check it out.
I tried going to their web site, but my browser is telling me there’s a security issue with it (“Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER”).
They’re a legit place?
Heh, they’re a legit place but I’ve only been there in person. I didn’t even know they had a website
You can get those maple candies everywhere. They’re absolutely delicious.
awesome
As a Minnesotan, that would be very bad news for anyone here enjoying having relatively okay power bills. Unfortunately I have to agree with Ford; we totally deserve it.
cutting off oil is more devestating, thats probably thier next move.
I live in the US. I hope the world destabilizes our very flawed government and “democracy”
A two-party system is barely a democracy.
Good thing you don’t have to worry about that two-party system anymore!
