Sure buddy, as long as you offer your house as shelter and stock it with fish so the bears don't starve!

While tempting, such a move would guarantee the trade war actually begins. Ideally, Canada isn't slammed with tariffs in the first place.

Fighting dirty. I like it.

It's an intriguing idea to ignore American IPs, but then why would American businesses sell their products in Canada at all if IPs aren't being respected? It also sounds like Canadian consumers would be hindered in the long term because jailbreaking isn't performed by the majority of consumers (how many people currently use a VPN to bypass Netflix's region locks)

Apparently, the president doesn't require congressional approval of tariffs when justified by a national emergency. The hysterics over illegal immigration and drugs make perfect sense when you realize they're just a pretense to bypass accountability.

The funny part is that Congress can't remove the tariffs by passing a bill because it would then require Trump's signature to become law. So much for checks and balances.

This attention whore doesn't deserve the eyeballs and is entirely coasting on his last name for any relevance whatsoever.

I'm down voting this post because it isn't news worthy.

We could also tariff ammunition.

Imma shoot your ass, when I can afford it!

Pathetic. She's throating Putin's dick so hard that she can't even speak to her own government when asked in good faith.

Many more babies will suffer collateral damage.

That's the problem here. Population health affects everyone, so you can't just say "fuck you trump supporters", because everyone suffers for it.

Voting third party is fine. Protest voting is acceptable, though this result still fucking sucks. Strategic voting doesn't have to be the default choice.

Anybody that did NOT vote, thinking it would be any sort of protest, is completely idiotic. Self imposed disenfranchisement only forfeits your own ability to say anything about the results.

I absolutely can blame them for global insecurity, the way Russia made grain prices rise by invading Ukraine.

Americans also have the most significant impact on climate change because they're the biggest polluters.

Yea this is a question of damage control. My wife is worried about them attempting to remove abortion access in lock step, and now she isn't wrong to be afraid. Populism is toxic.

Also, all of the disinformation campaigns that worked to destabilize the US were vindicated by this election result, so you can expect similar interference in the Canadian election next year.

That just means they're racist too. All he needed to do was paint immigrants and refugees as boogeyman so even minorities look down on them. Anything goes, as long as leopards don't eat my face!
