It’s a pointless question. If he answers no truthfully he gets fired. If he lies and says ‘yes’ to keep his job we get undue anxiety when there already enough of that going around from memes and trade wars.

From the administration who just launched a few hundred million dollars worth of tomahawks at Iran without saying they were at war with them either.

I really wish journalists with integrity were allowed to question these dorks. They would be eviscerated every follow up question.

There’s VCN for all-Canada, and if you want to diversify without investing the the US there’s also VE for the EU and VIU for “everybody but Canada and America”

I don’t have the answers but these have at least performed in the ballpark of the S&P in the last year or so, all conflicts and oil shocks considered.

Good for them but also kind of depressing that such an obvious move from a business is an anomaly and not the usual.

Sometimes you just wish for a giant glass dome and some consequences.

I only regret that I have no more US products and services left to divest from.

I really doubt that. He has the negotiating instincts of an anxious chihuahua.

It’s okay if Carney was the best of all bad options at the time. Next time we can do better.

None!

Because most will never admit it’s a technical genocide.

I signed it but I don’t exactly await the official response with boundless optimism.

They didn’t do that with me, but FWIW I emailed their support team letting them know if they ever wanted me to submit my ID to Palantir I would close up.

I’ve never unsubscribed so hard in my life. I used to trust them with robot investing but now I do it all myself.

They were smart to get one of the country’s best credit card programs otherwise I’d probably have jumped ship for a more predictable boring option like questrade.

It’s hard to frame this as anything but appeasement to achieve a deal nobody has any faith will be honored.

If they were smart they would make these concessions conditional. And never take their foot off the gas to distance and diversify.

Or, hear me out:

Jail.

If all agreements are optional then fuck those F-35s we agreed to. And bring back the digital service tax in response.

Well now I don’t want to just for spite.

You’re not getting out of this by voting every 2-4 years and behaving in an orderly fashion in the in-between.

Organize. Find out how you can hurt red state money and go out and do it. Money is the only thing that they care about protecting.

Thank you for saying this. I’m glad that the realization is finally permeating.

Vote when you can. But the chance of a center-left democrat half of the time is nowhere near enough to restore the generational trust lost. People who care deeply must organize, protest, and dismantle these systems so they cannot be used again in the future of coexistence we hope to achieve.

Show us with actions. Stand up for your own people at risk, and for those US expansionist politicians and their sycophants are targeting around the world.

If we gave what we received we should be demanding a fund from the US to give it “protection” from wildfires.

One petty disgruntled consumer is weak. Millions of them, not so weak.

They can do their worst. I didn’t buy so much as a US sweet potato from the grocery store this week. Sure as hell isn’t going to be a car or an appliance from any company moving out of Canada.
