Trump ends all U.S. trade talks with Canada. The White House wants Canada to drop the digital services tax

I do. My mom‘s entire side of the family came down from Quebec. But that’s great grandparents back, and as far as I can tell, that’s too far back to count.
I have sent you a DM.
Good luck. Great grandparents born in Canada can be enough. That would make your grandparents ok your mother’s side citizens. (There have been some retroactive corrections of women’s loss of citizenship in marriage.)

Trump doing Trump things, please - the majority don’t want any of this bullshit to be happening
Yah, we don’t believe this anymore since he was elected again.

As if these taxes never backfire back to the consumer. It’s like a national sport in Canada. Raise taxes, mask it with fancy words as if you’re taxing corporations then when push comes to shove, like what happened during covid, bail out the very same corporations instead of thousands of unemployed and unhoused.
There’s no point raising prices, as if employees aren’t going to pass that on to their employers by demanding higher wages. Why do companies always try to increase their profits by raising prices?

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.
Can you share what you’re using for photos backups instead of iCloud? I haven’t found a service that’s family-friendly enough to get buy in my my partner.

I self host Nextcloud, and it holds all my photos.

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?
Not just effort. Negotiating trade agreements with the states have always involved giving concessions that mean enacting legislation that deliberately hurts Canadian industries and/or consumers in return for low cost access to their markets. If they are going to be unreliable, we should not be hurting ourselves in hopes that they will play by their own rules.

Sure, bring a parka.
Yes.
Because Canada is cold. Wink-wink. Definitely avoid postal codes that start with V3.

I just moved less than an hour from the eastern border with Maine. I’m from New England, and I lived in Alaska for 3 years. I’m prepped and ready. I also own like 12 parkas.

I was three years in k2k. I thought I was ready for it. I thought a walking commute down McLeod trail in t2n made me resilient and I’d do fine.
I was wrong.
Pay attention to how you’re doing and don’t be a hero. The weather does not care about you and it will kill you if you let it – that’s the lesson I got from the region of this country that is its namesake.
…walking up March Rd past Terry Fox, into the December wind, tears rolling down my cheeks from the wind but then freezing in place because of the cold. It was then I remembered I’d had 3 socks in my combats in Calgary and 3 layers of wool over my face (and ski goggles) so I didn’t lose pieces.
Don’t get weather PTSD. Be safe.
