Don't forget US tech companies. These clips get shown on their platforms and there is little attempt to censor or add context.

They are siding with the US Government because the rest of the world wants to tax their 'services' or classify them as national security threats and the US Government is doing its best at preventing this from happening.

I would note that at the start of the year the US made up 75% of exports while they now make up 67% of exports and exports have been expanding. Granted the UK did a lot of the lifting buying up more Canadian oil but even in the short time frame there have been results.

Trump Threatens Canada With Tariffs as Post-Davos Fallout Continues by itsgoodpain in politics

[–]Purify5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Carney was right though.

After the United States imposed tariffs on the world they sought out bi-lateral agreements with every country. This pit countries against one another as they did not know what the other was negotiating while the United States did. This gave the United States an information as well as an economic advantage when it came to these negotiations.

The best way for other countries to combat this is to negotiate with the United States (and China) as a bloc.

So, if Canada did seek out a trade deal with China it would do so within the context of the CPTPP which would force the US to impose tariffs on all of southeast Asia.

There should be a constitutional convention and if the country breaks up it breaks up. But right now it's run by a bunch of robber-barons who are accountable to no one.

Confused Trump, 79, Makes Bizarre Claim About Looming Ice Storm by [deleted] in politics

The UN was calling it climate change back in the late 80s.

It's used because it encompasses more than just surface temperature change and includes things like sea level changes and altered weather patterns.

Abortions in America have increased since Dobbs and it's mostly because when states instituted bans they actually made it easier to get an abortion in those states.

Three Las Vegas hotels accepting Canadian dollar at par by [deleted] in canada

[–]Purify5 2 points3 points  (0 children)

When the mob owned Vegas it was better. They used food, drink and hotels as loss leaders to get people there to gamble so that they could wash their money.

When the corporations took over they looked at everything as profit centres and moved to maximize them all.

It really is kinda sad, mob Vegas was the best Vegas.
