Some IT guy, IDK.
Sorry about that. I’m not far from the border at Niagara falls and I know how much power is sent over the lines across the Niagara River (generally)… It’s not great, and I’m sorry you have been caught in the crossfire here.
You don’t want this, I can assure you, we don’t want this, but it’s what is happening.
I mean … Comparing anything to US News outlets is kind of setting the bar really low, isn’t it?
That’s fair. There’s still sensible people in the USA.
I was a little unclear before, the set of people who think this makes sense is entirely within the set of people in the USA. Which doesn’t and shouldn’t imply that all people in the USA believe that this makes sense.
I apologize if there was any implication of lumping all Americans into the same pool of stupidity. That’s an insult to you and I am sorry.
Have a good day neighbor.
The only people it makes sense to, for Canada becoming a US state, is the people in the USA.
We have land and resources they need, that we are happy to sell them, year over year.
Also, just to mention, the dairy thing? Yeah, that’s on dairy products beyond a certain cap. It’s there to encourage the use of Canadian dairy, instead of relying on foreign dairy… You know, so our dairy farmers don’t go broke.
Looking at the records, that import limit has been hit… Carry the one… Yeah, exactly zero times.
🖕
Sincerely,
I like that Trudeau announced he was fucking leaving and before he could get his ass out the door and let someone else take the lead, all this shit happens because Trump was elected.
What a fucking circus.
Yeah… This.
Don’t get me wrong, if/when Trump dies, it’ll be a day that I’m a bit happier, but if he dies during his presidency, I know he’ll be immediately replaced by someone who is either just as bad or worse.
My only hope with Vance if he takes on the job, is that he’s such a fucking bootlicker that hopefully he’ll spend too much time sucking off corporate interests that he can’t do too much more damage than Trump has already done.
It’s possible, however unlikely, that someone will convince Vance to do the right thing for the wrong reasons (he definitely won’t do it for the right reasons), because someone else told him too… I have no illusions that he wouldn’t come up with the idea himself. He’s just not that bright in my mind.
To be clear, the people who want this are the American capitalists who stand to profit off of Canada’s natural resources. If we were a US state it would be much easier, almost downright trivial, to move up here and take whatever they want.
Obviously, Canada, and Canadians, don’t want that, and it would seem most of the US population doesn’t either.
IMO, this seems like a move by the people who are puppeteering Trump around. They see an opportunity to exploit what is currently a sovereign nation, and they’re going for using Trump as little more than a mouthpiece for their goals.
