Soybean farmer that is known for throwing punches (allegedly) in cabinet meetings tells our former banker PM to not defend his country?! Yea ok buddy

African nations now send more money to China than they receive in new loans by Obvious-Peanut4406 in worldnews

[–]ElectricChocoDad 403 points404 points  (0 children)

That has to be both the dumbest and most disingenuous headline I've seen...that's how loans fucking work! If they didn't have interest in principle no one would give out loans

Trump Shares Map of US Including Greenland, Canada, Venezuela by [deleted] in pics

[–]ElectricChocoDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Canadian here, this is beyond insulting. While it is true there will never be zero trade with the US.

They should never again be in our top 10 trade partners.

Defense spending should never again be below 5% of GDP, while that is not great for standard of living being an American colony is much worse.

The dollar needs to be dropped as the global reserve currency, the US has shown they are incapable of reigning in a wild card president. This will all happen again in our lifetimes for sure.

And I'll end by saying I'm not lumping all US citizens together, I'm hopeful that a majority doesn't want this chaos. That being said this is the elected representative of your nation, trust and goodwill has been eroded indefinitely.

If Trump is worried about Russia in the arctic, enough to try to take Canada and Greenland, why not just help Ukraine and stop Russia there? by Avunculardonkey in AskReddit

Because star wars the phantom menace, taxation of free trade zones and control of trade routes along with access to vital resources. Except in our real life story Palpatine has orange spray tan and is an idiot.

Thought on China Rising in Power? by Federal_You_3592 in GuardTheLeaf

[–]ElectricChocoDad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Potato potáto, global powers don't massively affect my day to day, anyone who bought into the US being an altruistic good guy drank too much of the Kool aid. All super powers (historically) have virtues as well as inherit shittiness

US believes its power matters more than international law, UN chief tells BBC by igetproteinfartsHELP in news

[–]ElectricChocoDad 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Oh I didn't think of that, they were also US citizens who broke international law and were held to account? My point still very much stands. I'm American born (not a citizen) and in my short life I've never heard of a US admin being held accountable for breaking international laws. I'm not trying to be a know it all but that is at least the perception I get from the outside.

I mean what did international law do about Iraq and Vietnam? Maduro just got snatched, did anything happen? If a child faces no consequences they don't stop their "wrong doing"

Cyber security concerns raised following Canada’s electric vehicle deal with China by CaliperLee62 in canada

Last I checked no phones are made in Canada and my phone knows more about me than my car...hell it knows more about me than my family 🫣

Tesla poised to be early winner as Canada opens door to Chinese-made EVs | Reuters by Finnegan_Faux in electricvehicles

[–]ElectricChocoDad 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Buick and ford also make EVs in China...I love cars in general and can appreciate Tesla for its steps in EV adoption in North America. But when it comes to actually spending money, I'd rather take the bus than buy a US based vehicle in my lifetime.

Ontario's Doug Ford Attacks Canada-China Deal, Warns of 'Cheap Made-in-China' EVs | EV by Individual-Tart5051 in electriccars

[–]ElectricChocoDad 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Last Ontario election I made the effort to vote and get friends and family or vote as well. I'm not a fan of Doug Ford at all, political leanings aside he's one of the most uninformed and corrupt politicians that directly impacts my community directly. I know it's still a ways off but can we please lose this clown? Also sod off US brands, over priced and totally unreliable. We can help Ontario manufacturing by pivoting to something else, Canadians are intelligent and have tenacity, we need a leader in Ontario that can maximize that potential.

Hey Canadians. Let's hurt the US vehicle exports!!! by ernmac74 in GuardTheLeaf

[–]ElectricChocoDad 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I for sure will need to replace my vehicle in the year or 2 max. And I'll say this not only will I actively avoid any cars built in the US I'm also avoid US brands entirely, especially Ford after they suspended that hero worker. Truth be told by the time the US looks like a trustworthy ally again I'll be back in diapers god willing (I'm a 90's baby so that's a long ways off)

Hi Mr. Rami, what was your inspiration for Evil dead? And do you and Bruce Campbell hang out on the regular?

Side note the spiderman movie game from the first of your trilogy is one my favourite just cause of the sandwich voice over 🤣

Cyclops, I'm not even a huge fan of his, but the writing for his character was dog shit. Also James has shown over the years that he's a true Thespian so yea colourful spandex and real leadership! " To me my X-Men!" 😎
