He’s hoping he’ll hurt us (Canada) enough that suddenly his offer to “save” us by becoming a US territory is appealing. Any sort of fentanyl or national security reasoning is just an excuse.
Go hard and target US corporations by invalidating US trade laws and allowing affected Canadian manufacturing to make lower cost tech products without the greed monopoly margins.
The person who proposed shutting off electricity was Doug Ford, the premier of Ontario who could in fact follow through. It would definitely be the nuclear option but it would disrupt the power grid of several norther states we border.
I don’t think it will come to that. I think the orange idiot just wants some politicians to grovel and pay his tithe at the last minute so he can feel powerful. He’s “warned” of tariffs too many times to make me think he’s serious.
I’m in a pickle. Got proton and my own domain for email so I would be able to make an easy switch… but now I have masked emails for dozens if not hundreds of account logins.
Why is anybody taking anything coming out of the White House with any degree of certainty? Tariffs or not there’s no trusting the source. We’ll know if it happens when it happens.
Fair assumption. In this fictional scenario I think there would for sure be a Q-Anon style contingent who would believe the world leaders colluded with some kind of audio deep fake.
I believe most republicans crave power at all costs and they want their team to keep winning. They will tolerate a cheater and a criminal that gets results but they will not abide a pathetic loser that makes them all look small by association.
It was definitely not meant to be mean-spirited. A rising tide should lift us all. Selfishly, I imagine the good a few hundred million people could do for the rest of the world if suddenly freed from these sort of unnecessary financial and social hardships.
Unless you’re filthy rich enough not to care about premiums and have millions invested in health insurance. Then you can pay your media outlets to manufacture rugged individualism and paint any common-good policy with the broad brush of communism.
Last year I went in for an organ removal: $0.
The hospital bill for my child’s birth: $0.
Regular quarterly family doctor visits for routine monitoring: $0.
The comments from Americans who move abroad to other countries and experience the healthcare of other developed nations is eye-opening. I truly hope people find the means to demand a better base level of care and join the rest of the modern world.
