This is spot on!
Those trying to understand the tariffs as economic policy are dangerously naive.

No, the tariffs are a tool to collapse our democracy. A means to compel loyalty from every business that will need to petition Trump for relief.

Look at how many Cons approve of Trump. Almost 50% of them! Cons are Team 51, not Team Canada.

It will definitely hurt (badly) in the short run but now is the time to serve up a big can of Canadian Whoopass. Support industry and workers , ride it out, diversify and we will thrive in the long run . Meanwhile America's higher angels will eventually purge these lunatics .

Time to turn off the taps.
Not a single bottle of American wine, beer or bourbon should be sold anywhere in Canada.
From here on in I will only drink "freedom" wines from Canada, France or Spain.
As for the beer? It's shit anyways.

Some great advice here from David Moscrop. I am personally framing cutting back on social and network media as living more like I did in the 80’s (minus the late nights 😜)
This has quickly become one of the most popular pieces I've written for Substack. And for good reason.

The coming months and years will drive you insane if you don't have a plan to manage your sanity.

Here's how to start.

Preparing for the Newspocalypse
Mind your sanity. Connect close to home. Set boundaries. Support the media you trust. Live your life. Don't feel guilty about it. There's no better advice than that.

I have faced fascism before, in this very country. I was one of 120,000 Japanese Americans summarily rounded up and expelled from our homes at gunpoint, all for the crime of looking like the people who bombed Pearl Harbor.

I spent my childhood behind barbed wire. My parents lost everything. 1/

Dear X, it’s time to break up for real. We had some good times, but lately you are so angry all the time. I think we want different things…
