What can I say, my sisters were hippies, and somehow I’m still living off that optimism. … and did you know that you can never have a sensible conversation with someone you belittle?

On yet another TACO Trump day, the lesson is don’t back down.
Don’t back down Greenland, Europe, Canada, world. Don’t back down Americans.
Resist, unite, form alliances. Stand up to the bully!

Seems something like the WEF is beneficial at a time an insane person is in the WH. He used his time at Davos to say Carney was ungrateful for all the freebies the US gives us. Whoever the hell told him that deserves a throat punch. It's just not true. economics.td.com/ca-canada-us...

For the American president, there’s not a treaty written that isn’t made to be violated. There’s not an agreement made that’s not meant to be torn up. There’s not a promise made that’s not meant to be broken.

Trump’s extortion tariffs on Europe for refusing to roll over and play dead as he invades an ally is yet more proof that his “deals” aren’t worth the paper they are written on.
Canada should think twice before making any further concessions. The mob boss can’t be trusted.

Ford and others warn that reducing tariffs on Chinese EVs will jeopardize the integration of the Canadian auto sector with the US, but on the eve of of Carney’s mission to China Trump stated that the US “doesn’t need Canadian cars.”
The damage is already done. We need to find new partners.

Gender role observation today:
I supervised the “Photo Booth” at a middle school dance. About 150 girls paid two dollars, lined up and took an instant pic with their bffs, and one group of three boys.
I don’t really have any conclusions except how strikingly gendered this activity was.

Carney has not continued the rhetoric of “elbows up Canada” in response to the US. However, the easing of tariffs on Chinese EVs and the diplomatic and economic rapprochement with China are tangible signs of independence from the US.

Another note from the annals of language evolution:
“You’re welcome”is being replaced by “no worries.”
When I say “thank you” to a cashier and he replies “no worries,” I wonder, should I have been worried in the first place?
