Carney starts looking at those bonds..

[–] zebidiah@lemmy.ca 4 points 2 hours ago

It's Friday, I'm sure it'll be fine by Monday....

As if these taxes never backfire back to the consumer. It's like a national sport in Canada. Raise taxes, mask it with fancy words as if you're taxing corporations then when push comes to shove, like what happened during covid, bail out the very same corporations instead of thousands of unemployed and unhoused.

Honestly, it's simply futile to seek compromises with this tyrannical government. Like all bullies, nothing is enough for them. They will keep on taking from you until you clap back.

I think it's appropriate to note here that during his first term, Trump tore up NAFTA and negotiated his own trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Now, just a few years later, he's torn that one up too. If I were a country considering negotiating a trade agreement with him, I'd keep in mind that any agreement struck could evaporate on his whim.

[–] WhatAmLemmy@lemmy.world 11 points 14 hours ago

The solution is to simply not "negotiate" with terrorists. Just make decisions that financially damage them and their cronies, while forming close relationships with non-terrorist states.

[–] kent_eh@lemmy.ca 15 points 18 hours ago

Exactly.

Why waste time and effort trying to come to an agreement with a regime that routinely lies and has a history of breaking agreements they previously made?

[–] pinheadednightmare@lemmy.world 13 points 15 hours ago (1 children)

Canada should increase it in response. Then drop the mic.

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Yes please do this Canada

[–] CatherineLily@lemmy.blahaj.zone 33 points 18 hours ago (3 children)

Not sure why Canada even bothered. Trump is clearly unpredictable and untrustworthy. He'll go back on his word at the drop of a hat.

[–] brax@sh.itjust.works 13 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

I think it's for show. "Look, we tried. The problem isn't Canada."

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 1 points 43 minutes ago

Yes. This manufactures consent among us for harsher actions that would hurt us more in the short term.

[–] ILikeBoobies@lemmy.ca 10 points 18 hours ago

We didn’t want to, we elected a government specifically to not attempt it

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 10 points 18 hours ago

Yeah it is called TACO, Trump Always Chickens Out.

[–] BlameThePeacock@lemmy.ca 33 points 19 hours ago (2 children)

Trump can go fuck himself. We're fine here until hes gone

[–] avidamoeba@lemmy.ca 1 points 42 minutes ago

Watch Vance and his techno fascist cronies take over after that. This may get worse before it gets better.

Do you have a Canadian ancestor?

The 2023 Bjorkquist decision overturned the first generation limit to pass down citizenship. There is an Interim measure to accept applications for special grants of citizenship beyond one generation and there is a bill in Parliament to put in place a remedy to address the findings of the Superior Court of Ontario (which the federal government has not appealed).

[–] OminousOrange@lemmy.ca 11 points 18 hours ago

Sure, bring a parka.

[–] mintiefresh@piefed.social 11 points 16 hours ago

This mother fucker is so exhausting.

[–] Showroom7561@lemmy.ca 17 points 18 hours ago

Meh. He's upset about something that's been in discussion since 2019... he makes it seem like this just suddenly came up. Of course, he's a clueless idiot, so everything is new to him.

[–] DoctorNope@lemmy.world 18 points 18 hours ago

He’ll soon be crawling back to negotiations like a bird on its belly, crowing the entire time that whatever idiotic thing he is going to do has brought Canada to heel. Sad. Weak. Trump always chickens out.

[–] Punchshark@lemmy.ca 13 points 17 hours ago (1 children)

Murica doing murica things. I know I will never step foot in that shithole country again!

[–] BetaBlake@lemmy.world 2 points 14 hours ago

Trump doing Trump things, please - the majority don't want any of this bullshit to be happening

[–] Bakkoda@sh.itjust.works 12 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Smash us with tarrifs. Refuse entry to all politicians. I dare say hold back the maple syrup.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 7 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

The (very real) Maple Syrup Mafia would not be happy if they could not sell to the US. They should really start working at other markets.

Sure like breaking bad meth, but in Canada so it is maple syrup instead.

Oh shucks, it is to bad I have moved to the high C’s for most of my media. It is so much easier now then in the late 2000’s when I stopped because it was easier to pay for the US services. With the *arr apps I have found it is easier to do the pirating. I use a pi-hole to block the ads on the Canadian channels showing US shows. I cancelled all the subscriptions and started paying for CBC; sure I did not need to pay for it as my pihole was blocking the ads but I can now watch the news if I want to, not that I need it but hey I have once or twice! I have moved most of my data off of Apple’s iCloud, I have stopped using everything google (Including their ads), minus YouTube but even then I stopped paying for premium and started using the app Unwatched to block the ads, I wish there was a Canadian version of patron to give money to the few Canadian content creators I follow religiously (Steve Boots, and the Beaverton). I had started degoogle-ing in phases years ago, but Trump pushed me to stop paying for youtube premium and moving to Unwatched.

I moved my blog off of the Wordpress servers on to a Canadian host (I wanna say hosthero); I added the unlimited email package so that I can create pseudo random emails, to replace Apple’s hide my email, (Service name).(random word)(three random words)@reannlegge.ca. I wanted an off site password manager (just incase I broke something) so I pay for 1Password which is Canadian. I moved all of my data off of iCloud minus the backups for my iPhone and iPad because I do not have the hardware to do it at home at the moment to easily back it up at home.

Why was OP banned for posting a Reuters link? Or did a mod edit this post somehow after the fact?

[–] Arkouda@lemmy.ca 2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Oh okay, i only looked at this community's modlog and was a bit confused. That makes more sense.

[–] smuuthbrane@sh.itjust.works 1 points 16 hours ago

Hey Mr Tramp, how about we consider dropping the digital sales tax if you ligma?

[–] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 1 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Canada needs to build about 400 nuclear warheads as part of our NATO rearmament commitments, then we need to cut off all energy and resource exports to them.

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca -2 points 18 hours ago (1 children)

Just cause the US has dropped two nukes (accidentally and unarmed) on Canada does not mean we need to arm up.

[–] Coolbeanschilly@lemmy.ca 1 points 17 hours ago

On the contrary. Become like Switzerland, neutral and too big of a mouthful to chew on.

[–] Kobek@sh.itjust.works 0 points 16 hours ago (1 children)

"Please tax us more as long as it makes the orange man mad". You people are crazy.

If Carney really wanted to stick it to Trump and help Canadians at the same time, he could change piracy laws to decriminalize pirating US content or better yet anything other than Canadian content. But nope, he wants us to pay more for the privilege of having US data grace our routers and phones.

Some people are okay with giving up their personal comfort to work against fascists. It's called having a spine.
