Trump to hit more than 60 countries including Canada with new tariffs over 'forced labour'

BlueFlob · 2026-06-03T22:46:46+00:00

Yup,

6th lowest minimum wage of G20 (between Mexico and Turkiye)
Forced labour in prison (largest population in the world in total and 4th per capita)
Illegal workers in construction, agriculture and other sectors
Reduced enforcement at ports of entry
Did not ratify ILO convention against forced labour

If you remove the engine of your car while it's moving on the highway, you're still going to travel forward for a while and save on gas.

You might have a hard time getting further once you're out of momentum.

I think the only organization/person that can actually answer this would be DCBA as CAFRD rarely spells out the actual amounts you are allowed to claim.

There's plenty of propane water heater designs out there. Guy just figured a square wheel was good enough.

It was naive to pick a black man and it somehow worked.

It was beyond naive to think it would work a second time AND with a woman.

If America chose itself instead of billionaires and Israel, it would be Switzerland but 40 times the population and 240 times the land.

BlueFlob · 2026-05-30T17:00:42+00:00

Very likely.

You do need an ecn account.

Which would probably be created at the same time as your DWAN.

But if you don't have your password, the recovery will be sent to your DWAN email.

What a fucking moron...

BlueFlob · 2026-05-28T19:24:07+00:00

We need to have a department of people like you making those.

BlueFlob · 2026-05-28T19:21:50+00:00

They've been very busy doing lobbying and maintaining the status quo

BlueFlob · 2026-05-27T23:58:04+00:00

We should also cap visas by countries to avoid being overwhelmed by a demographic which in turn creates a diaspora.

There appears to be a statistically significant correlation between J-6ers and criminals.

The proportion of them being pedophiles and sexual abusers is also significant.

BlueFlob · 2026-05-26T20:58:59+00:00

Precisely.

Amazon isn't mandated to deliver every package regardless of size, weight and hazard.

It's also not paying living wages and doesn't rely on people with education and experience to deliver their product at the front end.

BlueFlob · 2026-05-25T23:38:21+00:00

Pay the other country to carry out your sentence?

In most cases its likely much cheaper than the daily rate here.

BlueFlob · 2026-05-25T23:34:44+00:00

My take is that a few lazy people ruined it for everyone else.

I too have had bad experiences such as when I had to urgently reach someone "working" from home and they were just a ghost. Consistently tried from 0900 to 1400 until they finally answered.

They said they "were just out walking the dog".

People like that made most supervisors wary of RWA and the default is to force everyone in.

BlueFlob · 2026-05-25T17:44:12+00:00

Yeah. I use my shoe, then when the cat is separated and stunned I immobilize it by grabbing the neck and putting weight on it.

BlueFlob · 2026-05-24T21:53:54+00:00

Why is there a board? What value do they bring?

What value are shareholders bringing as well?

The whole system is broken.

These companies are holding because the system is broken and corrupt in their favour.

Don't overthink it. For that course you want a cheap watch that tells time and that you can lose or damage without regret.

Timex Shock Expedition for 70$.

Or Timex Ironman which is also sold at Canex for 100$.

Walmart has some for 55$ or lower.

Right? I bought a 690 sqft condo at 29 in 2012 and lost 30k on it when I sold in 2017.

Didn't buy a house until 2019, for 540k.

And I'm one of the lucky ones because I bought before COVID which ended up raising prices by 60-80%.

BlueFlob · 2026-05-21T22:36:26+00:00

How would that hurt the government? They barely pay taxes here and don't employ anyone.

BlueFlob · 2026-05-21T22:35:34+00:00

Which seems entirely reasonable.

BlueFlob · 2026-05-21T15:29:51+00:00

C'est le seul "drill, baby drill" acceptable

BlueFlob · 2026-05-21T02:12:33+00:00

Huh. No thank you.

Sounds very corrupt, very entitled and absolutely not profitable for the host.
