It's Friday, I'm sure it'll be fine by Monday....
Taco is gonna taco
Would you say Taco may flip-flop-o?
Thump Trump
Carney starts looking at those bonds..
Honestly, it's simply futile to seek compromises with this tyrannical government. Like all bullies, nothing is enough for them. They will keep on taking from you until you clap back.
I think it's appropriate to note here that during his first term, Trump tore up NAFTA and negotiated his own trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Now, just a few years later, he's torn that one up too. If I were a country considering negotiating a trade agreement with him, I'd keep in mind that any agreement struck could evaporate on his whim.
The solution is to simply not "negotiate" with terrorists. Just make decisions that financially damage them and their cronies, while forming close relationships with non-terrorist states.
Exactly.
Why waste time and effort trying to come to an agreement with a regime that routinely lies and has a history of breaking agreements they previously made?
Not just effort. Negotiating trade agreements with the states have always involved giving concessions that mean enacting legislation that deliberately hurts Canadian industries and/or consumers in return for low cost access to their markets. If they are going to be unreliable, we should not be hurting ourselves in hopes that they will play by their own rules.
Not sure why Canada even bothered. Trump is clearly unpredictable and untrustworthy. He'll go back on his word at the drop of a hat.
I think it's for show. "Look, we tried. The problem isn't Canada."
Yes. This manufactures consent among us for harsher actions that would hurt us more in the short term.
We didn’t want to, we elected a government specifically to not attempt it
Yeah it is called TACO, Trump Always Chickens Out.
Trump can go fuck himself. We're fine here until hes gone
Watch Vance and his techno fascist cronies take over after that. This may get worse before it gets better.
Can I come over?
Do you have a Canadian ancestor?
The 2023 Bjorkquist decision overturned the first generation limit to pass down citizenship. There is an Interim measure to accept applications for special grants of citizenship beyond one generation and there is a bill in Parliament to put in place a remedy to address the findings of the Superior Court of Ontario (which the federal government has not appealed).
I do. My mom‘s entire side of the family came down from Quebec. But that’s great grandparents back, and as far as I can tell, that’s too far back to count.
I have sent you a DM.
Good luck. Great grandparents born in Canada can be enough. That would make your grandparents ok your mother’s side citizens. (There have been some retroactive corrections of women’s loss of citizenship in marriage.)
Sure, bring a parka.
Yes.
Because Canada is cold. Wink-wink. Definitely avoid postal codes that start with V3.
I just moved less than an hour from the eastern border with Maine. I’m from New England, and I lived in Alaska for 3 years. I’m prepped and ready. I also own like 12 parkas.
I was three years in k2k. I thought I was ready for it. I thought a walking commute down McLeod trail in t2n made me resilient and I'd do fine.
I was wrong.
Pay attention to how you're doing and don't be a hero. The weather does not care about you and it will kill you if you let it -- that's the lesson I got from the region of this country that is its namesake.
...walking up March Rd past Terry Fox, into the December wind, tears rolling down my cheeks from the wind but then freezing in place because of the cold. It was then I remembered I'd had 3 socks in my combats in Calgary and 3 layers of wool over my face (and ski goggles) so I didn't lose pieces.
Don't get weather PTSD. Be safe.
Canada should increase it in response. Then drop the mic.
Yes please do this Canada
He’ll soon be crawling back to negotiations like a bird on its belly, crowing the entire time that whatever idiotic thing he is going to do has brought Canada to heel. Sad. Weak. Trump always chickens out.
Meh. He's upset about something that's been in discussion since 2019... he makes it seem like this just suddenly came up. Of course, he's a clueless idiot, so everything is new to him.
This mother fucker is so exhausting.
Murica doing murica things. I know I will never step foot in that shithole country again!

Smash us with tarrifs. Refuse entry to all politicians. I dare say hold back the maple syrup.
The (very real) Maple Syrup Mafia would not be happy if they could not sell to the US. They should really start working at other markets.

Oh shucks, it is to bad I have moved to the high C’s for most of my media. It is so much easier now then in the late 2000’s when I stopped because it was easier to pay for the US services. With the *arr apps I have found it is easier to do the pirating. I use a pi-hole to block the ads on the Canadian channels showing US shows. I cancelled all the subscriptions and started paying for CBC; sure I did not need to pay for it as my pihole was blocking the ads but I can now watch the news if I want to, not that I need it but hey I have once or twice! I have moved most of my data off of Apple’s iCloud, I have stopped using everything google (Including their ads), minus YouTube but even then I stopped paying for premium and started using the app Unwatched to block the ads, I wish there was a Canadian version of patron to give money to the few Canadian content creators I follow religiously (Steve Boots, and the Beaverton). I had started degoogle-ing in phases years ago, but Trump pushed me to stop paying for youtube premium and moving to Unwatched.
I moved my blog off of the Wordpress servers on to a Canadian host (I wanna say hosthero); I added the unlimited email package so that I can create pseudo random emails, to replace Apple’s hide my email, (Service name).(random word)(three random words)@reannlegge.ca. I wanted an off site password manager (just incase I broke something) so I pay for 1Password which is Canadian. I moved all of my data off of iCloud minus the backups for my iPhone and iPad because I do not have the hardware to do it at home at the moment to easily back it up at home.
Can you share what you’re using for photos backups instead of iCloud? I haven’t found a service that’s family-friendly enough to get buy in my my partner.
I self host Nextcloud, and it holds all my photos.
🤝 Canceling American services and paying for the CBC 🤝
TACO!
