Your latest is on my Christmas gift list. I'm stunned, baffled and confused by people that think if someone has studied the issue then they are clearly wrong? Only the ignorant know the truth? What pollutant is in the air that caused this brain flip? I need a martini.

The current effective rate of terrifs on Canadian cusma goods is 0%. Trump can destroy that at anytime he gets pissed off. Sometime in the future he will destroy it. Why would we want to move that time forward?

I don't think he believes he can get a deal. But the more time he buys for Canada the better off we'll be. He probably understands that Trump will kill cusma. The longer he can delay the inevitability the better off we'll be. That means sucking up to Trump.

I hate that this was so predictable. You hope you're wrong but you're not.

I'm not sure there is any negotiating. Seems that we're just asking what they want and then doing it Increases the pressure to diversify out of the USA. We're not going to get any sort of fair deal from the USA.

I have lived that experience. I bought Solar Panels, Heat Pump and an EV. I am told by most people that you can't make a difference. That "experts/scientists" agree with them. My conclusion? Everyone is concerned about climate change. However people like excuses for them to not have to change.

Unfortunately it will only get worse. I left Xitter because every climate discussion had so many "it's called weather" type comments it became a real slog to find any worthwhile responses. Bluesky will eventually become the same...makes me sad.

You need to make more than $180k to bring the top 10%. Just a clarification that the chart is not talking about the billionaire class. To me it is more representative of the disappearing middle class. We have the well off and the struggling. Fewer "average Joes".

Carney's plan appears to be "suck up to Trump to get an extension of CUSMA". He won't get it. Trump loves to hurt everyone he can.
Difficult position. Walk away now? Wait for the inevitable? Suck up while preparing for the inevitable? Hope it's option 3.

Also seems to fit the situation.

Correct. Words have meaning. Oxford dictionary definition of genocide:

the deliberate and systematic killing or persecution of a large number of people from a particular national or ethnic group with the aim of destroying that nation or group.

Seems to fit the situation.

I've lived here my whole life. Welcome to my city ... That's right I own it and I'll take no guff about that 🙂
