  • It’s not just about what’s easy / simple, it’s also about our politicians understanding that having tariffs is actually less damaging than what Trump is doing.

    More than anything, business hates uncertainty. You can invest in an uncertain future. Businesses actively prefer bad to uncertain. A world with tariffs is one where they make less money, sure, but they can factor that in. Raise their prices. Let the inflation happen. They’ll be alright in the end. But a world with the possibility of tariffs, that’s so much worse, because now they can’t respond. Either way they bet, they could lose.

    That’s why Trudeau is taking this “Shit or get off the pot” stance. The most important thing is not just to remove the tariffs, but to get a guarantee that they stay gone, otherwise there will be continual economic damage, to both countries, for as long as this bullshit continues.

    Of course any guarantee from Trump is nearly worthless, so the reality is that as long as America lets that idiotic narcissist remain in power, there will continue to be damage to both our economies just from the uncertainty his presence creates.

    But thats not a problem we can solve.







  • Why make Canada a wasteland when you can literally drive across one of the world’s longest borders in an American made pickup, wearing American clothes, with an American gun?

    A Canadian insurgency wouldn’t happen in Canada. It would happen in the US. We’re not talking about the Taliban setting roadside bombs in Falujah here; we’re talking about angry Canucks in GM pickups rolling up on Mitch McConnell’s house with AR-15s that they bought in a parking lot with US dollars and no ID. There are a hundred senators and five hundred and thirty-eight house representatives in the federal government alone. How many do you think would have to die before they started to seriously reconsider the entire notion? How long would they want things to continue when every public appearance is a death sentence?
