It was weak and the whole speech came off as weak and lame. This was the time to show some back bone and I did not see it. At this point of time having the government prorogued and our leadership uncertain (just so the ruling party gets to have a nice leadership race) is very bad. We need to have an appropriate yet firm response and I think of all the various party leaders (and would be leaders) Trudeau is the least likely to be taken seriously.
He did say if. it was right at the beginning of the speech. I will give you that the 155 was billion (I was typing as he spoke) and got that part wrong. Same thing however, as its a limited response to a total trade war.
edit: just rewatched the part, what was said is:
“a decision should they elect to proceed with, should take effect on tuesday feb 4th.”
Still watching our great leader talk (I guess this bothers people?) and I am sad to see the attempt to appeal to reason and compassion with the american government. When will we learn?
Dang it, I am here waiting for our crap prime minister to come out on stage to let the nation know if we are doing anything in response to this. Its like blue balling for national sovereignty.
Edit going to write down my thoughts as he talks: Oh here he is… comes out with a grin then remembers this is not a good time for that. And now is talking “if” the usa goes though with these “threats”. MY DEAR SHITHEALING IDIOT, THIS IS NOT A WHAT IF! Like is this guy even working in todays reality, and not last weeks?
“We stand at the ready to work together” so we are doing what? what does that mean?
Oh 155 items being tariffed back, so we are responding to a total tariff regime with a limited one. I guess better then nothing?
Fuck apps. Real people use programs.
Yeah, it does not surprise me. The thing that does is how common the approach seems to be in big established tech companies. I mean, it generally never works out (look at IBM, Intel, Sun, and to some degree Apple).
I think that might be their plan for all their products at this point. Just existing though inertia.
Wait, they think people want Copilot? Like enough to pay money for it?
typical pig like people I guess?
More of an explainer of the features and purpose of this website. What you are looking for is a mod, those are the comment police.
For a short time.
Other then this guy above, clearly.
Then use a direct msg if you don’t want people to engage with your comments on a public post on a website whose whole purpose is people interacting.
Oh its worse.
Why? Do I have to be? Or are you a member of the comment police?
Odd way to argue, but I can get you both:
Communism (no idea why you wanted this its kinda a non sequitur): a political theory derived from Karl Marx, advocating class war and leading to a society in which all property is publicly owned and each person works and is paid according to their abilities and needs.
Authoritarian: Favoring or enforcing strict obedience to authority, especially that of the government, at the expense of personal freedom.
Notice that jailing people can fall into the authoritarian set but does not in itself make a nation authoritarian. Take the US for example, its worse then being authoritarian (at least following the rules would keep you out of jail mostly) since its high incarceration rates have more to do with private prisons making money and providing political kickbacks then any attempt at enforcing authoritarian rule.
No, its a hallmark of an authoritarian rule, not the proof of one. Believe it or not many places in history have been right bastards and have also been anti-authoritarian (think french revolution, the start of most communist revolutions, etc.) sometimes they are so anti-authoritarian they end up authoritarian.
The guy in the running for next liberal leader is backed by American oligarchs? That’s not good.
