PEI is worth the visit if you’re in the area. I moved here 5 years ago. It’s really nice.
Dear USA,
Your grandpa is loose in the garden again. He’s clearly confused. He just took his pants off, is rubbing dog poo on his head, and mumbling something about tariffs.
Please come get him as soon as possible.
Thanks,
Canada.
Canada is going to come out of this stronger thanks to Trump. We’re working on improving our in-country trade right now. We’re well liked in European circles and might end up in the EU. We’re building trade with other countries. I’m feeling pretty positive about our future without the US.
If the US continues to descend into madness, we’re going to be the country the USA brain drain ends up in. That will only help us.
Of course all of this depends on if the US decides to not go all Russia on us - which is going to wreck both countries.
In the article
As a Canadian, I’m reeling from the unraveling of a relationship I once believed to be unshakeable — a bond between our two nations that felt secure and enduring.
It’s about the breakdown between two long time allies by one want-to-be US dictator working in the interested of Russia.
This is a historic moment. The US and Canada will never be the same again.
Maybe we need some tariffs against the USA until they clean up their act along the border?
100%. The USA is absolutely not to be trusted. It is a friend to itself only.
Canada should cancel the order and invest in nukes and drones.
As a Canadian, I read that conservative reply and just think “Holy shit is this a dumb fucking American.”
I’m really glad that these are the types of Americans that don’t cross the border because that means leaving their emotional support gun at home.
I think any retaliatory tariffs from Canada need to be a minimum of 30 days.
Sorry. He’s old and not long for this world.
You’ll have the throne back soon.
The funny thing is this is Trump’s way of trying to insult Canada and our PM, but he comes off sounding like an idiot who doesn’t know Trudeau’s proper title.
Like, come on USA. Your grandfather is wandering down the street with his pants off again. Can you come get him?
Oh sorry. Who is the dumbest man on earth? I will send my apologies.
Exactly.
I left IT to open a small amusements company (link) a few years ago. So far we’ve been doing well and just doubled our floor space. Arcades, amusements, movies, etc, usually do well enough in recessions because they are cheap forms of entertainment. A family can’t afford a huge trip over the holidays, but they’ll stay home and see movies and other things.
The one thing that will change is what we have in our candy story. We JUST brought in a bunch of US candies. I’m not pulling them off the shelf but once they sell, I won’t be replacing them. We’re going to look for more UK and Japan candies which have always done well.
Someone come get their grandpa. He’s pooping in the flower bed again.
I’m down for it.
There is a little buzz that Trump is going to back pedal in a day or two, which would be hilarious. But I think we keep the pressure on even if he does.
None of this back and forth shit.
Millions of Americans, being too dumb or unwilling to grasp this
Reports from people who know him, Trump is one of these people. He clearly doesn’t understand the process.
“I’ve been in the room when it’s been explained to him, and he doesn’t understand it, but he likes tariffs,” Bolton said.
The Canada goose, much more commonly spotted, appeared to be sick, Sequeira said, which he thinks is why the bald eagle chose it as prey.
Politics aside: I live in PEI and there is an area called Vernon River which has been iced over for the last month except at the Hwy 1 bridge. There is a large flock of Canada geese that have been hanging out in this water area for weeks.
A few weeks back I noticed goose carcasses scattered around. It was a horrorshow. There was one on the hwy. A pile down on the ice. They were everywhere. There were several eagles, a few hawks, and a couple of larger birds I assume were vultures. Looking closer many of the geese were is pretty bad form. Standing, but their heads were on the ice. Some on their sides. Some off on their own way up the river.
It turns out avian flu is taking out a huge section of this flock and the birds of prey are eating them - which will probably result in those birds getting sick. Every day I drive by and there are more dead. Sometimes you see a single goose just standing along side the highway clearly in bad health.
It’s really sad.
He’s basically saying it now. He is calling his current tariff “reciprocal”.
It wasn’t released until 2024, but that’s ok.
