Hmm, I’m worried to find out if we’re talking a Fahrenheit/Celsius kinda scale where our expectations become negative at some point, or if it’s more of a Kelvin where absolute 0 is the destruction of planet earth or life as we know it.

What’s going on in Sweden? We’re not used to hearing about this many shootings in a country other than the US.

It’s pretty clearly a garlic article.

I’ve see a single Renault up here in Canada every summer for the past few years and the one time I got close enough I saw it had Mexican plates on it.

I managed to do a pretty good grocery shop today and I managed to only buy 1 American onion. There was a local option but I couldn’t justify buying (or carrying) 25lbs without a plan. It’s a local grocery store though, and I’m confident they’re working on making buying Canadian/boycotting American products much easier very soon.

That makes perfect sense to me.

And BC’s 2 biggest issues with allowing a pipeline (depending on whether you’re talking to the province or the people) are that we’d be taking the risk of shipping crude oil through our islands and remote coastlines, and that we wouldn’t really see any local benefits. Building refineries, whether in Alberta, BC, or otherwise, would alleviate our reliance on the US, lower prices (or at least isolate us from major fluctuations from the exchange rate), and make the product less toxic (figuratively and literally) to those opposed to pipelines.

Unfortunately you have enough people who just believe whatever their guy says. I’d think it would be like a Russia-Ukraine type thing, in the sense that a lot of friends and family are on both sides of the border, but Russia still found (and admittedly forced) enough people who didn’t care.

We need at least a 25% export tax on all energy exports. Clearly they need it or it wouldn’t have set a lower rate. 100% of proceeds can go towards building our own refineries to reduce reliance on the US in the future, in Alberta if that will be what it takes to stop their whining.

Oh nice, a 110% tariff on China would at least partially cancel out the Canadian and Mexican tariffs while mainly screwing over his own country. I’m all for it!

Exactly, clearly they’ll still pay for it if it’s important enough to exempt. In Canada’s case we could give Alberta the extra revenue just so they won’t get too cranky.

Even if the conditions were harsh, the anchor shouldn’t fall on its own. That far offshore it would’ve been secured.

I’m admittedly not a genius when it comes to foreign exchange/international currency dynamics, but unless the Yuan became the reserve currency I think it would be a positive change for most of the world.

If every country could come up with a way to personally annoy him (refuse to give away their largest territory, build taller buildings all around his hotels, call him a silly name, etc.) all the tariffs would essentially cancel each other out. If everything’s tariffed, nothing’s tariffed.

I don’t have answers, sorry. Maybe just remind others who can vote that they need to and that any pain they feel is solely a result of that dumbass being elected, no matter who he tries to blame.

Do Americans not have the phrase “everything’s on the table”? Or to “shelf something”?

You have a lot more say in what your country does than any of us being threatened do…

Somewhere around 3 and a half to 4, depending on if you’re using calendar mooches or clock mooches.

They’re clearly just weird parents awkwardly waving at their children.

A supermajority didn’t vote against him either, and a plurality of eligible voters didn’t give enough of a shit to even show up.
