A simple guideline: Live your life in such a way that your death doesn’t spawn a national day of celebration.

Exactly. I just got permabanned from Reddit for telling a Russian asshole who bragged about 5000 nukes that he should stop being a pussy and just do it. Push the button and become history’s footnote, the country that destroyed humanity, moments before they get turned to ash. I’m so sick of this blustering, seriously shit or get off the pot.

That country is filled with self-aggrandizing assholes who invaded a sovereign country they promised to protect. They have an economy smaller than Italy and Canada. They’re hateful, boastful, self-important shitheels. I’m so bored of their games and I truly don’t believe they have the minerals to back up anything they say. I call their bluff.

Hey, what did Canada do? Or eTA isn’t even as invasive as the EU’s proposed ETIAS, and certainly nothing approaching the anal-probe-level personal violations of the ESTA. And we need tourism. The US is fucking our economy in a massive way.

Canada is threatened by the US, the UK PM says nothing, and he cannot stop licking Trump’s nutsack every chance he gets. It’s an embarrassing betrayal.

Churchill was on the right track with Operation Unthinkable. And as much as a think Patton was a vainglorious blowhard, he was right about the Russians.

Should have done something in 45.

If you’re serious, start looking for companies hiring up here. As I understand it’s not easy, even for economic class immigrants, but I work in tech and I work with many immigrants (albeit not usually from the US, but it’s a different world now). Mind you - please look carefully into the financial impacts as it is a change from the US. Salaries are lower and taxes generally higher, which may or may not be offset in your context in other ways (healthcare a big one, income tax deductions, etc.) But many people, myself included, prefer Canada regardless of the reduced compensation. It’s not always about money.

He likes the X because the ASCII code is 88, which is a number of note among neo-Nazis because it stands for HH, or Heil Hitler. I’m now convinced of this. The coincidence is too strong to overlook.

Copped a permaban on reddit when I started taking about the Luigivolution, lamenting the current nightmare because some numpty couldn’t properly set his windage, insisting that Nazi lives don’t matter, and finally changing my nym to DutifullyPunchingNazis. I guess somewhere in there was the final straw.

Invite the rich for dinner. For one.

I think there are two things he wants here…and by “things he wants” I mean things that will make him and/or his wealthy oligarch buddies rich and grow their power.

The first and more near-term goal is the upcoming tax cuts for the rich, which will be trillions of dollars. To fund this, he sees at least three vehicles, that he has been pushing despite the failings of all three: (1) savings from DOGE, (2) the new gold visas, and (3) tariff income. All of these ideas are absolutely dogshit for creating income, but he seems to think they will. In his previous time in office, he even tried to use tariffs in this way. He sees tariffs as income and he’s made it clear. He knows the tax cuts will be hugely unpopular so he has to build up a story as to how they can be afforded. In the meantime if a bunch of rich short sellers make money off of market manipulation, so much the better.

The second goal, and probably more in line with the objectives of the oligarchy in the US as a whole, is to make Canada even more subservient economically to the US. They want a quiet corporate takeover of Canada. They want to depress the value then but it all up, after which we’re even more fucked than we are now. We need to cut this option off and just accept that we need to nationalize these industries, and restrict or even exclude American investment. I think the Canadian government should own at least 51% of key strategic resources, such as telecom, oil, hydro, potash, and media.

In summary, the Americans are now our enemies and should be considered as such. They want to damage our country and assume control of it. They are outright saying this. We need to stop being so fucking naive, and take solid action to prevent it.

Let the southern bastards freeze in the dark…not permanently, just a brief period, followed by an export tax. Cut power once in March, then again throughout the NBA playoffs in April.

At this point we should do this whether or not Trump reverses course. Make it clear there is nothing he can do to avoid it.

I’m sick of this market fuckery back and forth. I’m convinced he’s trying to depress the Canadian dollar and the value of Canadian companies and industries, so that oligarchs in the US can buy them up. It’s a hostile corporate takeover of our country. Fuck him, we need to go hard - permanent tariffs as long as Trump is in office…and we need legislation to ensure 51% Canadian ownership of strategic resources, as well as no American investment right now. If necessary, we need to nationalize strategic resources and industries.

What we don’t need is a fucking tax break for the rich. We’re on a war footing right now and our leaders need to accept this. The people have largely accepted it.
