Please don’t use regional persian slang for bribe when trying to sound sophisticated.

Already has claimed that Canada has been taken over by mexican gangs.

Now its time for Canada to come down with a 100% export tariff on Potash.

Putin is, backed by Trump’s big oil owners, for different reasons.

Hungary, via Orban, will never give on his master Putin. As Hungary is a NATO member, this is a completely empty threat.

If Europe does give up Russian oil, the logical alternative is US oil. Thus enriching the US at Europe’s expense. Then the next goalpost he’s already revealed would be punishing tariffs on China, in another attempt to enslave Europe to the US orbit.

What really needs to happen is Carney needs to go 200% on Energy East(in Canada). Get as many pipelines to the Maritimes and build the best oil port we can there, catching up on 18 years of ignoring that part of the country. Europe needs oil and LNG and Canada has everything they need.

Conspiracy Theory Time: Trump is working on hedging the things Canada can fuck him over with so that he can complete his goal of conquering and annexing Canada. • He needs dirty Venezuelan oil to replace tar sand oil. • He needs Russian Potash and Aluminium to hedge against Canada’s near monopoly with those products in the US.

A note that Aerospace has absolutely leaned into 3D printing metal parts since they can make parts much lighter and be just as strong.

The main use of LLMs, as far as I can see, is to replace the very people pushing it on everyone.

Actually, a few times:

1. Prior to the seven years war, the governor of Virginia was so openly corrupt the other colonies refused to official business with the colony, as he would just assign the contracts to his firms and run away with any money.

After the seven years war, leading up to the US revolution, things were very heated. Mostly from: 2a. Rich colonials defrauding British banks via loan fraud. 2b. Rich people then using said funds to buy up the available land, driving prices out of reqch of the regular colonials. 2c. Rich colonials got really pissy that the stamp act was going to prevent them from executing loan fraud. 2d. Rich colonialists astroturfing imaginary support for motiona and even faking riots to make it look like they had popular support. (Note that this was so faked that English speaking Canada became a thing out of this.) 3. The only land they would give to the poor people was in the strictly off limits Ohio Valley as that land was seen as native land in tha ks for them winning the war in North America for England. Neither the natives or the crown soldiers stood for this, but it was paid for by the rich colonials en mass, so was functionally unstoppable.

About 50 to 100 years later: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mason–Dixon_line the Mason-Dixie line became a thing and the two sides fought to gerrymander support for slavery/freedom. Which ended causing the US civil war.

Come back to this level of lunacy.

The US has been here before.

I believe that it was under him that the city privatized homeless shelters in the city.

Oddly enough, most of those lucrative private contracts went to private shelters owned by him and his wife.

Jokes on you, my Oma worked in Dos until her retirement.

She was an absolute master at it.

See the oil industry and their lie about Methane(sorry, “Natural Gas”) being a “transition fuel”

Because the mask is slipping. At town halls across the GOP strongholds in the US, people are finally being angry at the GOP.

They’re scared.

Thanks for the advice.

Questions for someone going to Gamescon next week. Anything I should do or know as a Canadian?

Yes. But they use CCP controlled social media to create the kind of harrassment seen across the developed world. Where chinese based foreign students gang up on whatever the current target is.

From what I understand, its more that the apps that they can use as payment apps are also CCP controlled news and social media apps. (e.g. WeChat) To the point that they can and do use those to try and manipulate chinese expatriats.

If the US doesnt drop the tariffs quickly, the world is actively working on new deals that remove the US entirely from the world stage.

Like how Japan is dropping US lumber and LNG for Canada’s offerings.

Or how Japan and South Korea are offering their military hardware to Australia and Canada.

Or how Toyota is opening a new plant in Canada

All of the “deals” he has are just meaningless letters of agreement that placate him while the real work happens.

Purely hypothetically, you’d likely get the same kind of split and games that were pulled in the leadup to the Civil War with the whole Mason-Dixie line thing. With likely the same resulting consequences.

Just now nuclear and biological and chemical weapons exist and weapons are incomparably more dangerous

The reality is that the 35% tariff doesn’t actually amount to much since USCMA/NAFTA basically shields 80-90% of Canadian goods.

The nasty ones are the processed lumber, steel and aluminium tariffs.
