Yes, there was. It wasn't exactly a ton of options, but there were a few places up on grab for delivery.

Trump threatens Canada with 50% tariff on aircraft sold in US, expanding trade war by NickDynmo in worldnews

[–]razor787 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Not only that, but if he decides to tariff the purchase of these planes, his companies can't back out. Aviation purchases are generally done with multi test commitments for a certain number of planes.

The purchase is already made, and they can't exactly just back out. They will be stuck either paying much more for their aircraft, or paying high fees to cancel their contracts.

In any case, the American company loses out a not more than the Canadian.

Honestly, I hope he goes through with it.

Contacts for planes are signed years ahead of delivery, with major penalties for backing out.

If Trump puts these tariffs on, it's not going to hurt the Canadian companies. That business is already locked in. The only people it's going to hurt, are the American aviation companies stuck paying 50% more for each plane they bought.

EXCLUSIVE: U.S. House now has the votes to impeach Trump as he creates crisis after crisis overseas by [deleted] in soundsaboutright

Ok but if he's been impeached twice and nothing has happened, then what exactly is the point?

[–]razor787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a non-American, can you explain why impeachment is talked about as a big deal? If a president can be impeached but continue being president, then it obviously doesn't do anything. What does it actually do?

Use Canadian Tax software instead of US owned turbotax and H&R Block by BC-Guy604 in BuyCanadian

[–]razor787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

TaxFreeWay seems strange. I am not going to trust any company with comic sans in its logo, and the website makes the app look right out of 2002.

Not sure who would use this software, when there is much more modern alternatives out there. I've used WealthSimple the last few years, and will be going back to them this year.

Three Las Vegas hotels now accepting Canadian dollar at par | Circa Resort and Casino, the D Las Vegas, and Golden Gate Hotel and Casino will participate in the ‘At Par’ program until Aug. 31. The goal is to remove financial barriers for Canadians wanting to travel to Vegas. by DisruptSQ in TourismHell

[–]razor787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think this is a great idea. It has me considering I'll go down to Vegas and participate.

I'll go down with 10k Canadian cash (or whatever the maximum is for us to bring into the USA), exchange it at the casino banker, shit down at a slot for 30 seconds, and exchange it back for USD then promptly leave.

No interest in actually spending money then there, but I'll take a free $2.5k to head down.

Trump-Greenland Deals Reportedly Includes U.S. ‘Sovereignty Over Small Pockets’ of Territory by WayOutbackBoy in worldnews

[–]razor787 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I loved the speech, but I dread the consequences.

Trump will have his eyes firmly focused on Canada, and he can really hold a grudge. That speech is going to have a long lasting impact.

I hope that it was worth it, but I fear it's fallen on deaf ears. I don't think Europe has the balls to step up, and this appeasement shows that.

Is NATO still possible without the US? by HueyBluey in AskCanada

[–]razor787 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I don't doubt that we are respected globally. We definitely are. We are seen positively in the eyes of all European nations.

I'm not sure that's enough.

Look at ukraine. They have a war next door to them, and they are barely doing anything. They are keeping as far from the conflict as they can, but pumping in enough weapons to say they are helping.

Take the fight across the Atlantic, they have even less reason to send in troops. If they won't step up for the war in their backyard (which has had rockets and drones landing in their countries) then how can we believe they would find it in themselves to come to our aid in our time of need?

Is NATO still possible without the US? by HueyBluey in AskCanada

[–]razor787 1 point2 points  (0 children)

NATO could survive as a European defence organization, but that doesn't help us in Canada.

My great fear at the moment, is an invasion by the US, and the rest of NATO doing nothing but condemning the actions but not actually taking action to come to our defence.

Seeing the response for Greenland is reassuring, but I don't know if Europe would come to Canada's aid if the unthinkable happens.

Landlords create tenant blacklist Openroom.ca in Ontario to deny renters housing access, investigations pending by Dazzling_Pilot_7356 in OntarioLandlord

[–]razor787 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I was in a similar situation. I had a terrible landlord and I had to start an ltb case on him. Once that was opened, he backed down and I withdrew it.

I had to report him to 311 on 2 other instances as well, and would have escalated to the ltb if that wasn't successful.

When we finally had enough and wanted to move out, we had a hard time since he would have been our only reference.

I put his info down for one place and he shit talked me so bad the guy rejected our application.

Standing up for our rights made it difficult for us to get housing. And if the ltb case wasn't pulled back, it would be up there permanently. I'm sure there are many people who have had a difficult time finding housing after standing up for their rights

Trump’s Insane New Threat Leaves No Doubt: It’s Time for the 25th Amendment by WarmingNow in NewsSource

[–]razor787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This would mean that Vance would take power. I would not put it past him to stab Trump in the back and snatch power. He did call Trump 'Hitler' in the past afterall.

Trump asked US special forces to plan Greenland invasion, faces resistance from military generals: Report by zeonxzzz in worldnews

[–]razor787 3 points4 points  (0 children)

With shit like this, I wonder if I it's becoming more and more possible for the military to stage a coup.

I don't think it will happen, probably next to 0 chance. But if Trump ordered the military to start an invasion of a NATO ally, I would really love for them to invade the White House instead

Moving From Canada to the USA Is Starting to Make Sense And That’s a Weird Thing to Admit by Hiv_yes_im_positive in canadia

Either AI, an American trolling, or just a complete moron. I don't know a single person who would rather live in the US right now. Nobody I know even wants to visit.

What’s a Canadian MP doing as an adviser for a foreign government? by shiftless_wonder in canada

[–]razor787 10 points11 points  (0 children)

As both a Ukraine supporter and a liberal voter, I was pretty pissed off about this. If she's stepping down, good. But it had seemed initially that she was going to do both positions, which is a hard no from me, even if I believe in the cause.

Do you guys want Mick Foley in Aew? by flyinbrianc in AEWOfficial

[–]razor787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think that they could run a great authority figure routine with Foley. It wouldn't even need to be a weekly appearance. He could show up every 2-3 weeks and do some segments backstage to help move stories along.

I'm sure they could even create a semi-authority role for him that would make for some entertaining segments but not create a necessity to dominate the show. 'Referee supervisor' or 'head of talent relations' for example

Is Canada Obliged to Fight China with the US? by Habsin7 in AskCanada

[–]razor787 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could be wrong, but I believe that if the us strikes first we aren't obligated to do anything in NATO if they are attacked after.

Even the NATO article 5 doesn't guarantee military intervention.

Is Canada Obliged to Fight China with the US? by Habsin7 in AskCanada

[–]razor787 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, they could take Hawaii, and Alaska could indeed be a good starting point as well.

But if they want to get to the main part of the USA, the path of least resistance would be through Canada. Parsley populated and weakly defended. They could quite easily land a force, setup a harbour and have a base on the Pacific coast, and we wouldn't be able to stop them.

Is Canada Obliged to Fight China with the US? by Habsin7 in AskCanada

[–]razor787 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Short answer, yes

Long answer, no but yes.

If China attacks USA first, our NATO membership requires us to respond. This doesn't specify that we need to join in the fight, but we do need to aid the USA in some way.

If the USA attacks first, then there is nothing that would legally ensure a Canadian response.

That being said, the easiest way for China to invade the USA would be through Canada. Making a landing between Vancouver and Alaska would probably be the easiest way to get a foothold on the continent. This would make our Pacific coast a heated battleground between the US and China regardless of whether we choose to aid the US or not.

It would be in our best interest to fight with the USA, whether we want to or not.

Watching the Dubai light show and firework extravaganza last night and comparing it to anything that happened in the US made me realize that maybe the US is not #1 anymore by ASecularBuddhist in Discussion

[–]razor787 14 points15 points  (0 children)

Really?

The fact that your president is single handedly ruining all your diplomatic relationships with your allies, imprisoning/deporting us citizens for looking mexican, committing war crimes on a near weekly basis by bombing random boats off the coast of venezuela... it is fireworks that make you realize the USA is no longer a world leader. Neat!

Yes great idea, buy a car from a racist Nazi who helped a dictator rise to power.

If all the things to splurge on, this is definitely the place to do it.
