clicked link about a dead pigeon... was expecting/hoping to see some deepfake examples.

in 2014, the US bragged spending $5B on Ukrainian coup, and installing nazi puppet rulership. That rulership immediately, as Ukrainian nazi did in Georgia, implemented apartheid laws and ethnic cleansing against Russian population that forced secessionist/autonomy movement. Russia spent 8 years pursuing peaceful resolution to nazi evil, that the west boasted as being a delay tactic to arm Ukraine sufficiently to provoke war. The war's objectives are to keep a nazified militarized NATO aspirant Ukraine, to diminish Russia to the last Ukrainian. To this day, no matter how dim the prospects, Ukrainian terrorist missile capability is cheered on and enhanced to prevent peace and territorial/people integrity.

That you describe reality as pro Russia is demonic hatred to perpetuate a losing war to no benefit to anyone but weapons and oil profit grifters. You are directly responsible for the breakdown in unity and democracy even if you are just gullible rather than a liar profiting from evil.

Apparently, only $1B of Canadian goods would become tariff exempt.

Talk to Americans - they’re embarrassed by how their government is treating Canada.

The US political rulership, including retired UAW workers, is largely supportive of Trump's unjustified attack on Canada. There was a timid non-binding resolution in Senate, but there is no mass protest, or passionate vocal condemnation, of Trump/US attack on Canada. Instead, the poltical establishment recommendation is that the US needs to leverage its traditional soft power subjugation of its colonies that corrupts our democracy into unanimous subservience, and has historically been so successful, but that political establishment accepts a wait and see approach to Trump's extortion tactics.

Imminent US collapse is what elected Trump, and his confident grasping at straws that effectively accelerates collapse is beyond the intellectual capacity of the public to understand its counterproductiveness. Stealing from allies economies will sell well to morons who don't understand long term consequences, and potentially stave off collapse for a few years. Instead of grasping at straws of Russian mind control for hatred of immigrants and queers, understand the oil industry's lobbying and disinformation campaigns to inject cultural issues to preserve their dominance for a few years in the face of civilizational collapse. Understand also how war on Russia massively funded that lobbying/disinformation power in Canada and US during last election cycle. It will fund Alberta separation disunity as well.

Being anti-demonic warmongering lies and propaganda is not Pro Russia. Forcing Russia to defend itself, and use entire world's diesel refining capacity is forcing the collapse of civilization. It is always easy to prioritize demonic war over human sustainability, because of gullible and hateful people victimized by liars. Allying with a demonic US empire that has shown it hates us, at the relevant government/policy level, is contempt for humanity, not just Canada. That most Americans are polite enough to be likeable doesn't affect US policy.

afaiu, the court argument is not declaring that this is a fake emergency. It is that tariffs are not the appropriate response to reducing fentanyl imports.

There's an appeal plan, and it's possible that they try to keep the tariffs during appeal process. That the US hates Canada hasn't changed.

We did lose nuclear expertise in workforce. There is a time delay to construction that can result from public NIMBY opposition, but that is not a significant expense.

Nuclear energy is most corrupt industry on earth, because it is most expensive/uneconomic energy that must be sold as though it is economic. The overbudget pattern (almost always over double the estimates that justified approval) is primarily corruption to leverage sunk costs, rather than incompetence.

Even French experts say that new nuclear construction should be postponed to 2060, when possible manufacturing (automation) advances could make costs affordable.

Canada has specifically not turned to the US for the latest NORAD spending. So how are we subjugating ourselves to them?

Our defense needs are exclusively protecting us from US. Both NORAD and golden dome which would most likely be under NORAD supervision are expenses that we make to protect North America only because we are aligned with US evil that might require annihilation of those aligned with US evil.

Whether we buy our "force projection" and "defense projection" systems from other countries than US, our military/defense system so far has been to be under US command. We should be paid significantly to have NORAD and golden dome on our soil/air, but Canada does not actually need the protection unless it chooses US aligned evil against the world. We can measure the cost of evil in NORAD/Golden Dome expenses.

Nuclear energy is uneconomic. It's useful for military purposes only. By being large projects, they are popular with politicians for the bribery potential. Because nuclear energy is expensive, fossil fuel lobby groups support it for not competing with them whenever they are actually built. SMRs is just a new scam taking off because the old scam is no longer marketable.

Aluminum is a substitute for copper in any straight wiring application. PEX for domestic piping.

Canada should not be "negotiating"/subjugating itself to this. Instead it should demand the US pay for NORAD. There is a huge cost to Canada for sycophancy to US empire. Our entire military spending is based on force amplification to the US empire's demonic and genocidal imperialism, and the illusion of impunity for consequences, makes us cheer on the propaganda for evil, and not pay enough attention to the costs.

So much prosperity in Canada, EU, and other US colonies can be unlocked through spending on other than a militarist destiny fueled by Russophobia and Sinophobia propaganda.

Heaven vs hell can be imagined at a very general level as abundance vs scarcity. Earth can be transformed from a hell to a heaven. A self serve abundance of a hunter-gathering lifestyle can still be heaven. But tourism from heaven to hell where forced servitude provides the abundance to those guests permitted abundance would further mimick the earthly hierarchy.

At least we will talk tough for a few months before increasing our subjugation level to USA to over 9000.

The great prosperity of war and fascism to the rescue.

You are right that intercontinental shipping of h2 is the last frontier for h2 economy. Local production from solar, and short distribution routes is first step.

I see the 180 as simply giving up on a losing war, and getting Russia to pressure Iran.

The us did not insist on starting the war out of any goodness for the world.

Imo, there is a lot more paranoia than substance to this.

What is clear is that there Is no democratic truth that leads to war on Russia being a good idea, and very strong and overwhelming propaganda lies to support this war on Russia.

Factional divisiveness is a problem too easy to just blame on Russia. Your hatred of Russia is no more noble than hatreds of right wing factions.

Extremely weird story to get pushed out everywhere. Attacks on kyiv were retaliation for Ukrainian attempted drone terrorism on Moscow the day before.

Zelensky should be the one admonished for escalating stupidly, and usa silence encourages zelensky destruction of Ukraine.

Embarassing to push for ukraine war in making the point.

Great post. Thank you. Strategy basics are succinct. Perfect Analysis dead on even 3 months ago. Russian gains also seem to be increasing every week. Accelrating last 2.
