That is, in fact, what just happened. We called his bluff and you all fucked off. And now you’re blustering because your weak ass country and leader looks like a joke and you hate it.

That’s strange, because we just bit you and you seem to have fucked off.

If you’re into horror I liked The Void a lot.

I’ve posted this before, but maybe under current circumstances it could actually see some traction:

Imagine Canada Post starts Amazon-like storefront where Canadian businesses can sell their products while Canada Post sells something like prime where you pay a monthly/yearly fee for unlimited deliveries.

Turn Canada Post into a sort of highway that connects Canadian consumers to Canadian business anywhere in the country.

The fentanyl thing is the manufactured crisis he needs to circumvent CUSMA without congressional approval. What’s really in his heart I couldn’t say, but we could end the cross border drug trade entirely and it wouldn’t change anything.

Giving up your national currency for one managed by the European Central Bank is the opposite of currency sovereignty.

See my reply to the other commenter in this thread. Additionally, currency sovereignty is a cornerstone of modern monetary theory, were Canada to want to adopt something like that.

Because national control over the Canadian dollar gives us a lot of flexibility that adopting the Euro would take away. Particularly in a country that is about to have to attract new trading partners to buy our exports, the ability to devalue our dollar to make those exports more attractive is going to be important.

I’d rather not give up currency sovereignty. Closer economic and military ties, sure, but not full membership. There’s also the reality that some of the most powerful economies in the EU in Germany and France are flirting with their own neo-fascist movements.

On Microsoft’s part, I guess. The support this article is talking about is supporting the ability to map the ‘Copilot’ key to whatever you want.

Netanyahu has defended Hitler so it’s not like he doesn’t have a track record.

Wordpress sites publish an rss feed by default at site.com/rss or site.com/feed, so there’s a good chance a site you want an rss feed for has one even if they didn’t intend to.

There was an election since the last UCP leadership race which they won.

True North News

“They don’t criticize Trudeau, and if someone instantly shows I’m wrong, well, that doesn’t count!” -You, a very serious person.

Government funded news is more trustworthy than that rag.

Imagine Canada Post starts Amazon-like storefront where Canadian businesses can sell their products while Canada Post sells something like prime where you pay a monthly/yearly fee for unlimited deliveries. This seems like an obvious avenue to me, particularly if those American tariffs happen.

I would suggest that making themselves difficult to invade isn’t the part of them I find distasteful. If we’re ever in a position to annex them and do, I’ll agree with you.

Would the world expect Ukraine to launch their nukes then?

YES. That would be the entire point. Can you explain why no nuclear armed state has directly confronted another since, well, ever? Why the US has been unwilling to intervene in Ukraine as anything other than a proxy war? Why Iran developing a nuclear arsenal is so concerning to the US? Did Israel develop a nuclear weapons capacity because they were legitimately concerned with being nuked themselves, or as a deterrent to conventional invasion? You are asking a lot of rhetorical questions but the actual history of nuclear weapons suggests that they would deter an invasion where giving small arms to citizens would not.

Surely if North Korea can develop such a program and maintain armed forces, Canada can do so.
