Have any of these countries tried being nice? I see a lot of sticks and no carrots.

I wish they would be more creative, such a boring word.

You don’t need to know french at all outside Quebec, that province is kind of like its own country (IMO). Source: live in Ontario with family in la belle provence, I’ve spent a fair bit of time up there. That said I still love Quebec its beautiful. My spanish is better than my french haha!

oh thats fun! I’d love it if we shored up manufacturing and logistics to boot so we’re more self-sufficient. That would be expensive but could be a great investment in the long run if we do it right

I see the current situation like a playground. we cant just ignore bullies but we definitely don’t have to play with them! Theres lots of other fun groups to hang out with! It sucks that the bully has singled us out to pick on us and is trying to take our lunch money but we can just tell him to fuck off! That will make him super mad but thats what friends are for!

I don’t blame them, I’d be pretty salty too if my government fired me after years of service and someone offered me a bunch of money for my expertise.

I’m in full support of cutting off from the US entirely and branching out on our own to hang with the rest of the world. Life is too short to be so angry all the time, best way to play this game is to not play it at all and start your own club.

Just out of curiosity has anyone ever attempted outright using financial instruments as weapons of war? Like a sovereign nation outright purchasing ungodly amounts of puts or shorting an entire nation? Is that a thing?

Honestly I think most of the world feels like that at this point.

This geriatric asshole is a one trick pony. Slap on tariff, remove the next day. Suspend aid, release the next day. I hope my country completely ditches the US and makes some new friends so we can all just ignore this asshat and get on with our lives.

quick! grab more gasoline, we gotta put this fire out!

Is it too much to hope this little spat somehow crashes the housing market and this generation can finally own a home? that would be so cool.

Ya van is awesome.

yes. source: Torontonian. It is a cool city with lots to do and awesome food but the entire city is under construction and traffic is insane. Also rampant bike/scooter/car thefts and whatnot.
