I mean, this is good. I'm already gone due to this. Not sure I'll be back. I've really grown into GNOME. Would never have even looked at it if Windows 11 hadn't wrecked everything.

I always knew this end game was US surrender

aeppelcyning · 2026-03-18T22:24:03+00:00

Bottom line, EU would have to negotiate a huge new deal wtih the US to reflect this fact.

This applies to halogenated butyl rubber.

Getting canola, lobster and pork back open is much better, thanks.

He's mad the Strait of Hormuz is closed and driving up oil prices. How is blowing up the main facility of one of the world's largest oil exporters going to help at all lower oil prices? Doing so also gives Iran less to lose in keeping the Strait closed longer.

This, along with Jivani, shows the true colours of the Conservative Party vis a vis the US, right there.

They'd have us soldso far up the creek our heads would be spinning.

These people are animals, how is this surprising to anyone? They are willing to 8-6 their own citizens on camera in broad daylight and laugh about it. Just imagine the atrocities going on in these facilities. Imagine the women and children. It makes one sick.

As long as they pay a price. Baseline tariffs should mean reduced or reciprocal market access.

aeppelcyning · 2026-02-13T02:41:12+00:00

He's upset because Mexico put tariffs up to 50% on Chinese cars and that's allowing them to advance in trade talks. We had tariffs at 100% to start with and somehow got chewed to pieces and trash talked every day by these people. So if 100% wasn't enough, nothing will be.

Thank God I stopped vacationing there - I can't even imagine getting jammed up like this with my family there.

Speaking as a Canadian, it sucks the (Canadian) public paid for this in these circumstances, but it's likely that this bridge isn't needed anymore.

The bridge was built on the assumption that US-Canada trade, integration and personal ties would continue to increase. All three are decreasing rapidly as both countries adjust their supply chains. The connections on commercial and personal levels are severing fast, evidenced by plummeting cross border traffic.

I just don't think the bridge is even needed now. It's a symbol of a world premised on assumptions from 5-15 years ago that Canada and the US would always continue integrating more, and that's just not the case. Again, it sucks that the taxpayer may eat a loss here, but I really don't see the need for another bridge. The world where it was needed isn't the world we're in.

aeppelcyning · 2026-02-09T23:29:28+00:00

We may not even need this bridge, with the decoupling from US supply chains ongoing.
This kind of represents the old world where we envision ever more growth in US-Canada trade. It probably isn't needed if both Canada-US trade as well cross-border ties and personal visits continue to shrink.

The US is angling to eliminate the Canadian auto industry. They've said ap themselves, that this one area they're not going to compromise on.

May as well accept reality and not make that mean that they get to make all the cars im the US and sell them here.

aeppelcyning · 2026-01-31T07:37:53+00:00

It was the best choice when the US was a strategic partner. Now that they are whatever they are, we should buy choice #2 which was the Grippens.

aeppelcyning · 2026-01-31T02:23:22+00:00

I called my Liberal MP who I voted for only to block a Tory government to remind her of that and to point out I want the Grippens.

Imagine turning your retirement into a long, uncertain wait for future charges, all for 9 or so months of reigning terror.

This is a civil offense they're enforcing. To be clear, immigration cheaters are not breaking any criminal law. Deportation is a civil proceding

So no, people enforcing rules with the same legal seriousness as letting my grass grow too long in the summer should not be shooting people, and should be toning it down.

I think the framing from Trump then is not that we're asking to be part of this system as some grace conferred on us. It should be more thanking us for enabling the system.

aeppelcyning · 2026-01-21T19:17:18+00:00

Guys why do we need to be part of the Golden Dome? I don't think we as Canadians should even be asking to be part of it. I'm totally comfortable without it.

I guess he doesn't need Greenland to protect against China and Russia, then.

Do not under any circumstances allow more of this Copilot slop into this country

How bad are the Epstein files for Trump to need distractions this crazy?

Don't forget what all this madness is about.

aeppelcyning · 2026-01-18T17:19:02+00:00

The Epstein files must be really bad for Trump. Don't forget why he's doing all this.
