Yea, we don’t know what happened in the phone call.
True, but it’s weird that Mexico got the exact same deal.
The important part is that all of us don’t forget what happened.
You’re totally right. We need to remove barriers to interprovincial trade and start looking for other trading partners. I hear the EU doesn’t buy much of our aluminum. Maybe it’s time for the feds to encourage that kind of export.
Where’s it going next?
( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
When you run httptap – <command>, httptap runs <command> in an isolated network namespace, injecting a certificate authority created on-the-fly in order to decrypt HTTPS traffic. Here is the process in detail:
In linux, there is a kernel API for creating and configuring network interfaces. Conventionally, a network interface would be a physical ethernet or WiFi controller in your computer, but it is possible to create a special kind of network interface called a TUN device. A TUN device shows up to the system in the way that any network interface shows up, but any traffic written to it will be delivered to a file descriptor held by the process that created it. Httptap creates a TUN device and runs the subprocess in an environment in which all network traffic is routed through that device.
Beijing has strengthened its trade agreements across Africa, South America and South East Asia. It is now the largest trading partner of more than 120 countries.
I feel like Trump is grandstanding.
He shot his mouth off, Canada did some stuff (mostly in the fall fiscal update), he looked tough for his base, but relented at the 11th hour.
That last minute save means Trump doesn’t have to deal with the sustained economic impact of tariffs. He got to stir the pot and see how much he can get away with.
Coincidentally, Mexico got the exact same deal. We’re gonna go through the same song and dance next month.
But it’s a good wakeup call for US allies: it’s time to start looking for other markets and building trade deals with less volatile partners.
But we’re still buying Canadian, right?
which is diametrically opposed to the 60’s and 70’s still post war boom(ers) …, when their own rent was either … cost them $200 a month and their University tuition another $500 a year
I think this is it. The cost of living was lower, so Boomers could get by without selling out. The attitude continued into the 1990s and early 2000s until it became harder and harder to lead a comfortable life on a modest paycheque.
That is epic Canadiana. Props for including Cyril Sneer in the background.
The word “save” localized appropriately.
Relevant, but not cancon. You’re on lemmynsfw, so maybe you could find something on the Canadian owned PornHub?
We allow the jailbreakers to distribute their hacks and even sell them.
I understand that. The target market for those jailbreaks is outside Canada, so distribution of our product would be limited by foreign laws. Foreign buyers would be dissuaded by stuff like the DMCA.
It works for Canadians, but it wouldn’t really affect anyone outside Canada. Given the size of our market, it would have a minimal effect on the sellers of locked products.
even if it’s just for John Deer farm equipment it’s a huge boon to consumers.
Canadian farmers who aren’t part of supply management schemes are in rough shape. As much as it might help them, they aren’t a large market, and (if John Deer cares) the sellers will probably use other monopolistic practices to discourage it.
Sure, Apple and Google will try to make this impossible…
Android app builders regularly complain that their apps are heavily pirated by alternate app stores in China. As far as I can tell, that hasn’t really changed Google policy. If Google is willing to ignore an app market the size of China, I don’t think there will be any real effect from Canada doing the same.
I like the idea behind the proposal, but unless it hurts US corporations, it seems like a small tweak to help Canadian consumers, rather than meaningful retaliation in a trade war.
That seems less targeted than I had expected.

I thought that was the gist of it.
Did Trudeau propose tariff supports?
I was really pleasantly surprised to hear him and the journalists switch from English to French and back to English seamlessly and without drama.
That is (happily) common in Canadian politics. Bilingual politicians are happy to reach a larger audience, just as journalists prefer to have quotes in their target language.
If Trump catalyzes good things in Canada, then Trump will have done something good in his life, against all odds.
Definitely. It’s incumbent on us to make that happen, though. Politicians haven’t prioritized it for the last fifty years - they’ll only do it if they receive pressure.
I really like the idea of opting out of IP agreements, but it’s unclear how effective it would be. AFAIU jail breaks are illegal in the US thanks to the DMCA - if Canada produces the kits, it’s still a risk to American farmers/Tesla owners to use them.
And:
But you know what Canada could make? A Canadian App Store. That’s a store that Canadian software authors could use to sell Canadian apps to Canadian customers, charging, say, the standard payment processing fee of 5% rather than Apple’s 30%. Canada could make app stores for the Android, Playstation and Xbox, too.
This requires cooperation from the platforms we’re attacking. The EU had the clout to force Apple to open their platform, but would Canada? Would a bellicose US allow one of their most profitable and iconic companies to do that? Given a choice, I suspect Apple would happily make the “alternate app store” experience so user unfriendly that most users would avoid it.
Android has allowed side loading forever, and has a bunch of non-Google app stores, but they have only gained traction in limited circles.
It’s a fun idea, and it’d be interesting to see how it works out, but I’m not sure it would have a significant impact.
That’s good enough for me.
