Sounds like Mexico is also going the targeted retaliation route.
I expect coordinating the reaponses for maximum impact was a big part of the extended discussion Trudeau was having with the Mexican president that delayed the start of his announcement.
Would you vote for government to take away more of your money, pay a higher sales tax, higher government fees, higher income tax for all people, to pay for helping needy people
I have done in the past and I would do again.
Trump doesn’t care about Smith, he doesn’t want to lose $upport from the CEOs of ExxonMobil, Chevron, and the other petro companies.
Which means Canadians will lose their jobs, they will be out of work, and some companies in Canada will not hire because there’s not enough sales to hire anybody new.
We know. But that’s Trump’s fault for starting this stupid fight.
Or are you suggesting that we just “shut up and take it” like a good little rape victim?
If so, fuck that. We’re kicking him in the balls.
And another at Stornoway…
I almost never watch Canadian news, but I did this once. And I was really pleasantly surprised
Far too many people fail to watch the news about our own country.
Not staying informed about what’s happening in our own country is part of the problems we have with divisiveness.
American Exceptionalism makes it hard for a lot of Americans to have an “are we the baddies” moment.
The National Post is notably owned 98 percent by US hedge funds, as are most of the rest of Canada’s newspapers,
That said, there are still Canadian owned papers, such as the Winnipeg Free Press.
In addition to being the province’s largest daily paper, it also offers digital subscriptions, for anyone looking for written news that isn’t foreign owned, or is interested in supporting an actual Canadian media source.
Demonizing Russia needs to end.
Not until they get their military the hell out of Ukraine and start acting like reasonable members of international society.
Meathead Ron and his dumbass policies
Yeah, I’m sure that’s also a contributing factor.
But Agent Orange and his speed run of Project2025’s agenda was the straw that broke the camel’s back.
Yes, but it costs more (in Canadian dollars) to go there and actually use that second home.
I expect the chaos that Trump is creating, and his threats against Canada also play a significant part in their decision.
I don’t think Finkelstein’s quote takes into account a severe narcissist.
In the narcissistic mind, the only right is something that benefits them, and the only wrong is something that harms them.
A growing number of Canadians are already calling for exactly that
It certainty make it easier.
Trump wouldn’t recognize hypocrisy if it walked up and kicked him in the balls.
and the cost of few thousand dollars was not that great to them.
How wonderful for them…
Maybe we could get away with the app store
As a first step, we could strengthen any of our our data protection and consumer protection laws that are lower then the EU laws/regulations to bring them up to the higher standard.
And is exporting a percentage of that hydro to other jurisdictions as well.
That’s what their advertising wants us to believe.
