Do you have a license for this comment?

Knowing what I know of French history, I would never be a politician in France.

Opposing the bills in court is fine, but expecting $100,000,000 in "damages" for the bills simply passing is absurd and unsupportable.

Yeah, he is nice and direct. I actually worry that will prove a weakness in the long run. The politician shtick where you use a ton of words to say nothing is popular because it works.

Unfortunately I have to agree with this, but I am hoping he can pull something off to change that popular way politicians like to get elected. Not high hopes, rational people never seem to last, but it's all I got. haha

It’s possible we can manage a UK-style deal where we accept “only” 10% in exchange for whatever perceived concessions. Trump will probably want a much lower rate on US products, though. That would make it pretty hard to protect our domestic industries; they’d be losing US market share and not gaining market share here.

Considering what is known, Trumps proposal seems to be free trade for the US, tariffs for the "Privilege" of getting foreign products on US shelves, and no willingness to negotiate for anything less.

I think it is possible to manage as well, but you raise a good point about our domestic industries being hurt in those conditions.

I don't know what a good deal for Canada would even look like at this point considering I do not believe Trump is going to stop until we are a part of the US. I cannot imagine what our Government is dealing with behind closed doors, and the more information that comes out the more it seems like Carney's strengthening of ties with other partners is the priority while we dance with the devil buying some time.

Thank you for the hearty laugh!

If you are a Canadian, and have some time and resources, this is the time to make yourself the "Alternative to American tech". I would really like to see some initiatives from the Government on this, but citizens can take the lead and get it started to show the Government there is something to invest in.

Well, we’re probably getting something like that either way.

I believe a recession at this point is pretty unavoidable as well, but the impact it will have is what I perceive is within some kind of control.

I do wonder if people are expecting public smack-talk from Carney, which would never gain us anything.

This is what I think most people have a problem with. They aren't used to a PM who doesn't talk consistent smack, negotiate in public, or has some level of respect for the position.

Personally I find it refreshing the way Carney is moving. I may not agree with everything, but at least the logic is visible, and he is being pretty direct when he communicates.

"Don't worry, the glass door has a lock on it." "What is stopping anyone from breaking the class nullifying the lock?"

What follows is the purest form of cognitive dissonance I have witnessed in life. Believing a lock will keep the bad guys out while knowing the fragility of glass seems to miss most people until you tell them.

What would "Elbows up" look like in this situation that doesn't result in a massive recession?

It is the one thing that unifies Canadians, whether right or left. haha

Probably one of the numerous countries with a wild and violent stray dog population.

Is the Gatekeeping in the room with us right now?

Whether you like trouble shooting or not, if you use Linux, you need to get used to it and good at it.

The best tip I received when starting on Linux was "Break shit", and I believe it is still the best advice out there.

Keep an install ready, and go to town on your distro of choice. Test commands, turn things on and off, delete things, move things, and literally break shit. Then see if you can put it back together again. If not, install a fresh one and try again.

Repeat until you get it. haha

This is exactly what a bot would say...

Personally, nothing can be done. Starwars last chance for me was episode 7, but I already watched a New hope and didn't need a reboot.

What’s this guy’s deal, man. I thought he was supposed to be an economist?

Do Economists never cut spending?

People posting pay walled links will never not be annoying.
