He’ll soon be crawling back to negotiations like a bird on its belly, crowing the entire time that whatever idiotic thing he is going to do has brought Canada to heel. Sad. Weak. Trump always chickens out.

Can I come over?

Sure, bring a parka.

Meh. He’s upset about something that’s been in discussion since 2019… he makes it seem like this just suddenly came up. Of course, he’s a clueless idiot, so everything is new to him.

Books are where it’s at!

Smash us with tarrifs. Refuse entry to all politicians. I dare say hold back the maple syrup.

Why was OP banned for posting a Reuters link? Or did a mod edit this post somehow after the fact?

Oh shucks, it is to bad I have moved to the high C’s for most of my media. It is so much easier now then in the late 2000’s when I stopped because it was easier to pay for the US services. With the *arr apps I have found it is easier to do the pirating. I use a pi-hole to block the ads on the Canadian channels showing US shows. I cancelled all the subscriptions and started paying for CBC; sure I did not need to pay for it as my pihole was blocking the ads but I can now watch the news if I want to, not that I need it but hey I have once or twice! I have moved most of my data off of Apple’s iCloud, I have stopped using everything google (Including their ads), minus YouTube but even then I stopped paying for premium and started using the app Unwatched to block the ads, I wish there was a Canadian version of patron to give money to the few Canadian content creators I follow religiously (Steve Boots, and the Beaverton). I had started degoogle-ing in phases years ago, but Trump pushed me to stop paying for youtube premium and moving to Unwatched.

I moved my blog off of the Wordpress servers on to a Canadian host (I wanna say hosthero); I added the unlimited email package so that I can create pseudo random emails, to replace Apple’s hide my email, (Service name).(random word)(three random words)@reannlegge.ca. I wanted an off site password manager (just incase I broke something) so I pay for 1Password which is Canadian. I moved all of my data off of iCloud minus the backups for my iPhone and iPad because I do not have the hardware to do it at home at the moment to easily back it up at home.

Yeah it is called TACO, Trump Always Chickens Out.

The (very real) Maple Syrup Mafia would not be happy if they could not sell to the US. They should really start working at other markets.

Exactly.

Why waste time and effort trying to come to an agreement with a regime that routinely lies and has a history of breaking agreements they previously made?

I think it’s for show. “Look, we tried. The problem isn’t Canada.”

Just cause the US has dropped two nukes (accidentally and unarmed) on Canada does not mean we need to arm up.

We didn’t want to, we elected a government specifically to not attempt it

Oh okay, i only looked at this community’s modlog and was a bit confused. That makes more sense.

I think it’s appropriate to note here that during his first term, Trump tore up NAFTA and negotiated his own trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Now, just a few years later, he’s torn that one up too. If I were a country considering negotiating a trade agreement with him, I’d keep in mind that any agreement struck could evaporate on his whim.

Murica doing murica things. I know I will never step foot in that shithole country again!
