Language matters.
The President is empowered by a Congress controlled by a narrow majority. Rather than the individual they have chosen, I am pissed at the Republican party. And disappointed in the American people. The guy? He was always that way and would have continued to be so at a safe distance from the levers of power without his enablers.
It is the American and especially Republican relationship with Canada that is important in this situation. Those are what endure, that person is only momentarily significant. So, where we can choose the narrative, I think that’s important to focus on.
Plus I suspect he likes the sound of his own name.
Isn’t Canada in an agreement with the US that trades “no tariffs” for “no infringing on copyright”?
If the US is imposing tariffs, Canada should now be free to copy any American product.
Or was I lied to?
This also means Canada should be free of its water transit treaties. Let’s divert water from flowing south over the border.
Kick Nestle completely out of the country, too – no more cheap access to our water.
Start right now on new local beef processing faciliities.
Nestle is European, but I’ll always support a witch hunt for those greedy psychopathic fuckers
Thanks for the clarification on Nestle!
But yeah… agreed, f them it would be wonderful it they got caught in the splash damage.
Don’t touch the water treaties. A fair bit of water comes north too and we don’t want them treating waterways as a dumping ground that just leaves their country.
They already are dumping grounds … specifically the Red River that feeds Lake Winnipeg. The phosphorous from American farm runoff creates massive, poisonous blue-green algae blooms every year in the lake, affecting fish stock and animals.
Perhaps. But as I understand it we have the most water of any nation in the world, so we should be more discriminating in what we let leave the border. Even if it’s just a bargaining chip during this tariff war.
The US hasn’t technically torn up any treaties, so we don’t have to either, let’s just “suspend” them. Seems they have no qualms doing so …
As a michigander, I’m going to support “don’t fuck with the water”. I’m really fucking sorry this fuckwit is in charge, but we share the great lakes. Those suckers hold 21% of earths surface fresh- water and we don’t want to give them an excuse to start throwing toxic waste in there especially out of spite.
