Yes and that 1 person declared war.

Yeah I notice the acknowledgement is the huge difference to what you see elsewhere.

Trevor Noah put it right in paraphrasing, when the racism is so open it's easy to see the ridiculousness of it.

I'm curious if you're white or black. My girlfriend is Zulu and although things have changed there is still a schism between specifically Afrikaans and the various tribes. Things are 100% better now and those in the born-free generation but it will take a long time for the sting to leave.

As I'm Canadian and familiar with our own Truth and Reconciliation I'm curious as your country started where you are in your journey and what challenges exist in completing it.

Where I think SA and Canada both synergize is we both have a great sense of humour and pride of who we are, and if you come at one of us you come at all of us.

Please find an adult and ask them to explain general economics to you and in the meantime look up the impact of tariffs and trade wars.

Canada doing nothing gives Trump what he wants. Fighting back with our own Tariffs is the next step. Make no mistake this is a war. Not all war is fought with guns.

Cut her some slack she's 74 lol

At this point I see him getting the death penalty. You're going to see really fast what those in charge think when you peons bite the hand that feeds you.

Yup they're now officially standing by.

Would you rather us bend over and take it?

Fuck America. You asked for this. Reap what you sowed. Unlike your trifling ass back home we are unified here. You have made us stronger as a nation.

If you heard the speech the fact that they are giving time for the full set of Tariffs mean we have a small set (booze) we are willing to cut right away. Ie. Jack Daniels is no longer on store shelves. Orange juice is no longer on store shelves.

The extra time is for Canadian companies to find alternative (non-American) suppliers. They may be more to import due to distance/time but less impact on tariffs and potentially still more cost at the end for consumers but at the same time not American goods.

The intention is to ween us off your teat.

I don't think Americans realize that long term this is not good for you. Once new trade routes come in, it's going to be hard for you to get those partnerships back on account of you showing yourselves as a horrible business partner.

Canada will hurt in the short term but we will be stronger in the long run.

The only thing I'm worried about now is a full on American invasion and I fear that's on the table.

My mum last night on text.

"We’ll see what shithead Trump retaliates with tomorrow. The only way to stop the maniac is with a bullet!"

"Have you noticed how shithead has not left the White House since he was sworn in?"

"Trudeau is doing a great job!" (Referring to the presser)

I'm glad I don't have your family OP

Edit - for the kids out there my mum is 74. She's a baby boomer. Some of them are good people. They are not well off. I told my parents with the tariffs coming if they find themselves struggling to let me know because I will help in any way I can.

I was gonna say "lol dude was in South Africa do you realize how corrupt and incompetent it is there with situations like Eskom routinely shutting off power to paid customers?"

But then I realized in South Africa the "evil black man" stood up to the Afrikaans to take back their country so they won't bend over backwards for him.

America on the other hand.... They're a bastion of recessive policies and racist undertones.

I revel in being the 60 year old asshole. 13 more years!

For decades after high school I still had a stash of lighters that weren't mine. I miss those days. My friends and I called it "the lighter game" and the goal was to be the person at the end of the night with the most lighters. At a party once my buddy pocketed like 6 it was hilarious.

Lol really. I understand there's probably a lot of nuance but for the majority of us laymen this is what we saw the whole 4 years Biden was in office. Nothing was done to prevent a return of Trump. Which speaks volumes about those in power even when a democrat is in power.

Shhh that's not important now. My goal is to outlive all of you, that's my solace.

See what I enjoy about this comment is all things considered there's a high likelihood you will live past the age of 60 at which point I hope younger people then call you a piece of shit on the daily simply because of your age. LOL

If I was in the military and had access to a bomber I would just carpet bomb mar a largo on any given weekend.

Opinions and assholes and all that jazz

I'm with you. I mean I agree with their sentiment and I think AOC is the same as the rest. She is after all a part of the machine.

That said, it's worth distinguishing the difference between trust and hope. I always hope.

Was gonna say this. Man we are so fucking the oceans. I personally feel we are past the tipping point but it's gonna be damn scary when the oceans hit their limit and there's a mass dropoff in life due to the water being inhospitable.
