AI Summary:

President Trump has threatened new tariffs on Canadian lumber and dairy products, claiming Canada has been unfairly taxing U.S. exports. This comes just a day after he announced a one-month pause on tariffs under the USMCA agreement. Canadian Trade Minister Mary Ng refuted Trump's claims, stating the proposed tariffs are unjustified. The uncertainty surrounding these tariffs has caused market fluctuations, with stocks initially falling but later rising due to positive economic outlooks from the Federal Reserve. The ongoing trade dispute has raised concerns about the impact of tariffs on the U.S. economy, which is already facing challenges such as layoffs and inflation. The dairy industry has been particularly affected by Canada's high tariffs, which have been criticized by U.S. farmers. Additionally, lumber tariffs could exacerbate housing affordability issues, as the U.S. relies on Canadian imports for a significant portion of its lumber needs. Experts warn that tariffs may lead to increased costs for consumers.

Krasnov can't even give a cogent reason for the tariffs in the first place, and can't even stick to one story lie. It's like listening to a five-year-old lying about whether they brushed their teeth before bed.

Murca needs electoral reform to a system of proportional representation.

"Glory to Aristotska! Papers, please."

…and my AXE!

Thanks for sharing. I really hope there is such a thing as the protected class in Murcan future.

As Krasnov says, they don't have any cards. Only the bullies of the world will have cards in his game.

Krasnov's got his own cabinet afraid to dissent, nevermind the cowardly Libs he's pwning.

The world is watching you, Murca, and we're turning away from you while you let this happen. On your streets, none of you are willing to admit you were lied to. You can't afford this ignorance.

We have a loose cannon in the white house, sure. But let's not forget all the congreessmen and senators either, agreeing with his policies. Trump isn't doing this stupid shit alone. All of Murca and 19% of Canadians are behind him.

It's time to turn away from them and look elsewhere. That time is now. We can't afford to wait this out.

Thank fucking God for this. We can't have Agent Krasnov's surveillance satellites over our heads.

I understand and respect your disagreement.

I view it as a trolley problem: if you don't flip the switch, or you love Krasnov, 3 people die. If you do, 1 person dies.

The ones who do nothing and do not flip the switch are in agreement with the Krasnov lovers since there is no "conscientious objector" button at the polls.

Thanks for that! The analysis you present doesn't seem to account for the Jokers having variable values based on information only you and the receiver have predetermined, which is what I would propose to help solitaire be more secure. Also, a non-standard deck would help, such as a tarot deck.

Heheh yea, it's overthinking. Elbows up is just hockey term for going to fight. Like, I'm wearing armour, good luck with a body shot.

In Mother Russia, the rich eat the poor.

FTFY

We could pay for this easily with an end to corporate welfare.

the federal government and the four largest provinces in Canada collectively spend about $29 billion a year on business subsidies — delivered through the tax system, spending programs and government businesses enterprises.

Not sure if you're serious, bud.

Elbows up means get ready to fight.

They're welcome to operate here, and pretty much always have been. Originally, VP Krasnov said amongst other things like fentanyl, we have to "open up" our banking. This I read as "deregulate" our banking to allow more risky, predatory, and derivative practices which served to crash Murca in '08, making a ton of money for those involved in the bailout welfare payments.

I recommend the solitaire cipher.

The pesky first amendment only applies where VP Krasnov says it does, comrade. Rules for thee, not for he.

I understand what you're saying. I also dispute the 50% number.

I'm saying only 30% of the country voted for him, 30% against, and 40% voted with their asses, making the effective amount of "love" 70%, not 50%.

Approval rating of ~50% notwithstanding, he has a 70% mandate to fuck shit up when we have 40% ass-voters.

We should all be calling him by his real name, "VP Krasnov".

ETA: and "Murca" is now glorious "KRASNOVIA"
