It’s better that justice works some of the time than that it never works at all.

You want to stop them doing one good thing because they didn’t do a different good thing too? That doesn’t make any sense. Doing something is better than doing nothing just because it’s “fair”.

That profit level is actually so low that it’s almost losing money for investors once you account for inflation. Any lower and there wouldn’t be any investors

Good! Why are we allowing investors to leech a profit off of a basic necessity of life? No one should be milking extra profit out of the poor people trying to survive. A system that allows this deserves to collapse.

Just a bunch of crabs in a bucket.

Typical abuser behaviour. What do they have left when the victim decides to break the cycle and leave the relationship? They double down on what they’ve been doing so far. More abuse.

Either the victim caves and goes back, or it reminds them of all the reasons they left in the first place and guarantees they never return. We’re choosing the second one.

Sure I could get Canadian currency at par but I could end up in an El Salvador death camp. I guess it adds an extra layer of gambling on top of the blackjack table!

but is a step in the direction of freedom from those corporations.

The Liberal party introduced Bill C-15 which literally allows any corporation to be exempted from any law.

They know who they want to rule us.

This is the exact same reasoning he used to threaten Greenland.

He wants the entire continent under US his control. He already admitted having Greenland is “psychologically important” for him. He won’t rest until he owns it all and that still won’t fill the giant hole in him that fuels his constant need for more.

Turns out checks and balances don’t mean shit if no one actually defends them.

No, you brought up Afghanistan yourself. They’ll invade, kill a pile of people, attempt to rule for 20 years before giving up. The important thing is the years of misery and destruction before they do.

We’re talking about invading, not controlling.

US military spending is $895,000,000,000

Venezuela $3,920,000
Greenland $0
Denmark $9,780,000,000
Mexico $16,450,000,000
Cuba unknown
Canada $29,070,000,000

That’s $895 billion for the US compared to $55.3 billion for all those countries combined. There is no way the US will ever been spread thin enough to prevent them from doing whatever they want.

This is US style propaganda and fear mongering. They’re working hard to turn us into them.

we’re talking about a government that has and is still actively meddling with Canadian affairs, and is already clearly exploiting our weakness to pressure the Canadian government into doing things their way.

We’re talking about the United States right?

This isn’t about accuracy. It’s about bowing down to the demands of a narcissist tinpot dictator.

Secretary of War Pete Hegseth

*Secretary of Defense. Trump’s demands to rename the departmen are not legal. Only Congress can change the name.

Every time someone follows his insane demands they give it validity. No one should be calling it anything but the Dept of Defense especially outside the US where his “orders” have no relevance at all. Use its legal name.

I’m not interested in partaking.

Nobody does but in the case of an invasion we don’t get a choice. When US soldiers start dragging your neighbours into the street you don’t have the option of saying “no thanks”.

The people who would refuse orders like that never joined the military in the first place or they got out as soon as they could.

The “average American” despises Trump and MAGA.

So? If they don’t actually do anything then it’s a pointless statistic. Get off your asses and start actual meaningful protest/strike/boycotts until it changes. Until that happens nothing will change.
