He’s been sniffing around in tariffs’ dressing room since the 80s when Japan was economically dominating. Rumour is he’d rather date a 25% tarrif on steel than date his own daughter, so that should tell you a lot. He also has a Navarro body pillow.
Well, he ended the war in Ukraine in 24 hours, didn’t he?
That’s decades of lead poisoning for you!
Makes me wonder what the microplastics have in store for us? If all we get is an “I love you” from our Costco greeter and hand jobs on the menu at Starbucks we’ll be lucky.
Only an economic idiot?
Right. Obvious to most except maybe those with only two brain cells strung together with spray cheese.
Boys’ night out at the local strip club, he turns up at Ikea wondering where everyone is.
I swear to fuck i just read another article from 2 hours ago where that Hassent fellow was quoted as saying essentially the opposite of what is quoted here.
These people are a mess. Shrodinger’s trade policy. The US economy, a bag of shit and a ketamine addled advisor are placed in a box…
“Only an idiot could have agreed to these trade deals!”
It’s rare, but occasionally he’ll truth shart.
Not to mention illegal firearms and migrants. I believe that in all cases, the contraflow is much worse.
I did read recently that the trade in illegal Canadian eggs being smuggled into the US is booming, however.
Nice. A clairvoyant on the internet. Very original.
Trump had made it very clear since before his inauguration that he would be targeting Mexico, Canada, and China in his crusade against fentanyl.
Coincidentally, those three nations are also the US’ largest trading partners, where the only legal avenue for applying tarrifs within the framework of his own USMCA (the greatest trade deal, maybe ever!) is to declare a national emergency. ‘Tarrif’, after all, is his favourite word. Right after ‘make’, ‘that’ and ‘large’. He’s been obsessed with tarrifs since the 80s. Any excuse will do. And ‘fentanyl from Canada’ is the excuse that he burped up after a particularly greasy bucket of chicken.
This trade policy by royal decree has been enabled by a national and bipartisan apathy to the abuse of legal loopholes and a general contempt toward foundational principles like the separation of powers. It’s all very obvious. We don’t have to guess at trumps motives or strategy here. He has rambled about it incoherently for years at this point. Subtlety is not one of his strong points.
That’s not to mention the influence of the First Lady, Lord Ketamine himself.
Hilarious image of egg smugglers being forced to ‘lay’ their contraband under supervision in a CBSA bathroom.
It is trivial, but at the same time, this issue is a cultural flashpoint, extremely politicized, and also potentially a vote winner/loser. It’s very unfortunate.
I’m not sure what the answer is, but the US just voted for a neo-fascist regime, and some of these cultural/identity issues may have played a role in that.
It’s a tightrope, for sure.
All I can say for sure is that whatever the Dems were doing didn’t and won’t work moving forward. Whether it’s true or not, the perception of the democratic party seems to be that they care more about identity than everyday issues. For everyone’s sake, it might be time that they attempted to change that perception.
Do it! Many have already deleted their accounts, including me, and the only thing that has really changed is that delivery takes a bit longer.
I can’t deny the convenience Amazon provide people in terms of their logistics and the range of products available in one place.
In saying that, it’s really not that difficult to forgo, and there are plenty of alternatives. Don’t buy books: get a library card. Buy your electronics from Canada Computers or other similar stores. Healthy Planet and Well.ca are great for cosmetics and self care. Trade prime for a Plex server. There are plenty of options.
I fully deleted my amazon account at the start of this Trump mess and asked them to delete all of my personal data. Life goes on.
It’s how parliamentary democracy works. The Prime Minister (PM) is elected by Members of Parliament (MPs) who are, in turn, directly elected by canadians. Typically, the Prime Minister is the leader of the largest party, but not always since a coalition of smaller parties could theoretically band together to elect their choice for PM. Carney was just elected leader of The Liberal Party of Canada, the largest party currently sitting in the Canadian lower house, by members of said party.
Our head of state and commander in chief is King Charles III, whose power is severely limited by constitutional and conventional traditions. Typically, in a parliamentary system, the head of state is merely a figurehead with no ability to influence policy directly.
Our Cabinet, unlike in the American Presidential system where cabinet members are unelected and appointed by the executive, are by convention also directly elected MPs.
This system of governance is shared with most Parliamentary and Semi-Presidential democracies with some minor differences.
