I love this for them. I really do. 💰💰💰🚛🚚🚑🚒

shannonpeel.bsky.social•5 days ago

Is this gonna be like Covid but the opposite

Remember when Americans said they are going to Alaska and went to other cities

happycanadian1962.bsky.social•5 days ago

Oh they got fined.

sweetglasses.bsky.social•4 days ago

Charge them double when they stop for fuel 😎

northnode6.bsky.social•4 days ago

Canada 🇨🇦 also owns the Airspace for SANTA’s 🎅 travels to southern states 🇺🇸

Just saying….🎄

Let tRump explaine that to the million 🇺🇸 kids 😘

Seems only fair to me!💙💛💙💛💙💛 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🇺🇦 🇲🇽 🇪🇺 "Slava Ukraini"

proudc.bsky.social•5 days ago

Great. Maybe the US can build a giant Alaska ferry. Stay off our roads or sell Alaska back to Russia. If Putin asked Krasnov, he would deliver.

kayiso64.bsky.social•5 days ago

Got to go all the way around into international waters. 🤣

virtualvisibility.bsky.social•5 days ago

Well, technically they have had this in place for decades (Alaska Marine Highway from Bellingham to Juneau I think). But the whole fleet is in such desperate need of investment that it's barely staying afloat.

huntstudioc.bsky.social•4 days ago

I agree with Eby. We don’t stop our tariffs until US tariff threat is erased.

grantmountieofanna.bsky.social•4 days ago

Proud of my Premier in BC #ElbowsUp!

jpzo.bsky.social•5 days ago

I was already loving elbows up, but believe strong as fuck to be a proper addition!
Mr Angus I’m asking from Arlington, 5 miles from the White House, to go hard as hell on us. We can take it. Anything to stop these people.
This has surpassed national borders though.
It’s Democracy V Facism/Klept

virtualvisibility.bsky.social•5 days ago

We are scared for you and are fighting in support of American freedom and democracy. I'm sure you don't want 🇺🇲 replaced with 🇷🇺 either.

canadianuser.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thanks for the support, John!
Living basically in the epicenter, does it feel to you like something big is going to happen? To us, it feels like the democrats are sticking to old rules and being insanely quiet and just hoping for the best

jpzo.bsky.social•5 days ago

No. It absolutely does not. And that scares the hell outta me. It’s sort of like everyone walks around in a daze. This is a very liberal county so you know most feel the same, but no one speaks of it.
And I’d guess many are unaware of the depth of what’s going on. It’s changing I think. And hope…

canadianuser.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ok that checks out with the vibe I'm getting lol
The silence is deafening!
I saw the Oscar's the other night where Robert deniro said f*** trump and the crowd went wild with applause. I wasn't sure where all of celebrity land stood bc most are so quiet. It so unlike them to 🤐

ethnographer.bsky.social•5 days ago

Smart. The Trump regime must already be planning to toll trucks from Mexico, Ecuador, Peru, Chile etc. heading to Canada with produce, so it's best for BC to be ready.

grampafan.bsky.social•5 days ago

We maintain those roads and we have that right, but we should be aware that an escalation could wind up affecting canadian truckers (and therefore us) a great deal more.

au-ug.bsky.social•4 days ago

Is there a way to mitigate that?

grampafan.bsky.social•4 days ago

Don’t sell things to America. But we have to remember (and believe) that Chump is temporary. Maybe when he’s dead someone serious will take over.

au-ug.bsky.social•4 days ago

He is. He has some nasty successors, but a lot of people over here who are wildly angry. Let's just hope the time frame is short.

artycanadian.bsky.social•4 days ago

Unfortunately, that would be Vance. And then Johnson if something happens to Vance. Just a whole bunch of evil bastards coming out of a Russian nesting doll.

phcoco.bsky.social•4 days ago

‘Just a whole bunch of evil bastards coming out of a Russian nesting doll’
Absolutely the best description yet.

artycanadian.bsky.social•4 days ago

Cheers, 😁!

sophiafhc.bsky.social•5 days ago

We are going to have to think this one through. We ship stuff from Canada through the US to Mexico.

ethnographer.bsky.social•5 days ago

Exactly. And we buy a lot of fresh produce from south of the US border.

eddiedeecle.bsky.social•5 days ago

Put it on ships and planes.

sophiafhc.bsky.social•5 days ago

Air would be too expensive as a lot of the trade is automotive. No idea of the cost of ships for that type of stuff. Also stuff goes both ways. We get a lot of fruits and vegetables from Mexico so that would have to go air I would think.

eddiedeecle.bsky.social•5 days ago

That's what I was getting at... produce on planes. Heavy and bulk stuff on ships. Ships are the cheapest way to move freight on a per ton basis.

sophiafhc.bsky.social•5 days ago

We are in Ontario so I would assume we would need to get it to the coast by rail or truck then loaded on a ship? I've never noticed those huge cargo ships here along the Great Lakes. May be they are here I just haven't noticed. /1

sophiafhc.bsky.social•5 days ago

I have only done trucking so I really have no idea regarding the timing and cost of ships. I just wonder what the savings would be over tolls then. If tariffs kick in thats a whole other ball game. I don't know if the US would want to be a pain to ship stuff through the US. /2

trevorbradley.bsky.social•5 days ago

We had Hulk Horgan.

Eby deserves a cool name too.

amyklassen.bsky.social•5 days ago

🤔 Brave Dave? Mount Eby?

trevorbradley.bsky.social•5 days ago

I like Mount Eby. That's a good one.

Well, Trump wants a war with Canada. Who does that benefit? Putin. That's it. Russia. That's it. Who is going to take their oath seriously and end this shit before thousands of innocent people are killed here for the benefit of Russia.

Every time Eby talks about the US lately you can tell he's just SEETHING.

As an Alaskan, I'm dreading this. As an angry, disgusted American...
GO CANADA! 🇨🇦🇨🇦🇨🇦

Thank you for standing up to the fukkkers and calling their pitiful bluffs!
Because they are running, hiding, and turning off the TV to ignore their pissed off constituents. Money is the ONLY thing they understand.

virtualvisibility.bsky.social•5 days ago

This is going to be so hard on all of us, but know that we are doing this FOR you, not against you. I want American democracy! American sovereignty! Don't hand it over to Putin.

siannen.bsky.social•5 days ago

I totally get it. A very loud 30% of my country doesn't believe anything is a problem until it happens to them. My own representative and senators think I am a paid, fake protestor. And I'm not a billionaire, so I don't count.

But the US thrives on trade with Canada, so stick it where it hurts!

canadianuser.bsky.social•5 days ago

Thanks for your support for us and for your own democracy. It means a lot that so many Americans are remaining rational and cool headed about this. We aren't in this to take anything, we just want to be left alone

catzmeow.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes unless they want to ship or fly goods to Alaska!

cynthiastach.bsky.social•3 days ago

People in Alaska don’t pay state income tax. Also get what $1,600 a year to live there. There’s 9 states in our country that don’t pay state income tax, Alaska is 1 of them. TX & Fl is 2 of them that gets billions is Federal tax grants a year. All this needs to stop.

rumblebun.bsky.social•5 days ago

Not in Canadian waters or airspace.

janiacster.bsky.social•5 days ago

This guy brought down the money laundering in BC Casinos. He has been cleaning up government for years. This is old hat for him. It takes a spine to go after millions in illegal Chinese money laundering.

happycanadian1962.bsky.social•5 days ago

Ontario should be doing that with trucks going between New York State & Michigan.

caro-s.bsky.social•4 days ago

Good idea. Why should Canadian and British Columbia taxes which pay for the roads subsidize US trucking companies?

concerned2.bsky.social•4 days ago

Better to be prepared.
......just in case

lindsayb2025.bsky.social•5 days ago

Just do it Eby! And keep the US booze off the shelves.

jrwilk.bsky.social•5 days ago

Maybe we should ban their ships from using the inside passage. That would put some sand in the gears of the cruise ship industry.

Smart! We know Trump hates tolls from the NYC congestion pricing.

popesnarky.bsky.social•5 days ago

Krasnov can be bluffed, so it may not actually be necessary to institute tolls for US trucks, but yeah, it'd be handy to have the tool, for future reference.

freddy59.bsky.social•5 days ago

Hey. That's is a good idea. Do it!

sicsempertyrannisx.bsky.social•4 days ago

Please do. A truck tax of 350% of the value of whatever is inside AND the truck. Perhaps the felon can resupply the state through his ally - Putin.

mrssquest.bsky.social•4 days ago

British - am i correct in thinking that they will have to pass through BC to get to Alaska? (sorry, no idea about your geography).

Good for them - and I see that BC was the 1st province to remove US alcohol from their liquor stores.

Eventually it will penetrate through Trump's skull he screwed up.

georgieedc.bsky.social•4 days ago

Yes they do. Unless they want to go the very long route to the Alberta border. It's cheaper to pay the toll. Though we love our Alaskan neighbours, it's for Trump.

Americans appear alright with Trump abandoning Ukraine and Europe in favour of Putin, ripping up a trade agreement he signed with Mexico and Canada. The world will not placate to an absolute moron... even if they do.

markrutledge.bsky.social•5 days ago

I’ve got a better idea. Let’s start talking about annexing Alaska. Start calling the Governor (whose name is Dunleavy) “Premier Dunleavy”. Call it our “cherished 11th Province”. Start talking about how we feel very strongly that most Alaskans want join Canada. Let’s see how they like it.

virtualvisibility.bsky.social•5 days ago

Well there is a genuine case for us to take Hyder. The only US presence is the Post Office and it's a sad little place. They don't even have border patrol. Only the Canadian side is secured. We could take them and it would be MONTHS before anyone noticed.

markrutledge.bsky.social•4 days ago

Frankly it would be much easier for us to annex Alaska than for the US to take Canada. They’re surrounded by 🇨🇦. Shut down rail and roads and seal off the ports. Take about 2 days.

cynthiastach.bsky.social•3 days ago

Trump will let Putin take Alaska next as Russia controlled from 1700’s to 1867 when sold to U.S. Be prepared! He’s a psychopath and destroying our country for Putin!

charlescooper.bsky.social•5 days ago

Vancouver's population is at least three times the population of Alaska.
We might allow Duneavy to be mayor of Alaska.

broncos556.bsky.social•5 days ago

Let Alaska get their stuff from Russia like the orange turd

mariootsa.bsky.social•5 days ago

If Russia invades them, we all just blame Alaska and Trump will have to just give it to them that’s that’s how this works right

cyprus36.bsky.social•4 days ago

Careful here, lots of trucks from Mexico headed through the US headed for Canada!

PSYCHOPATHS Putin’s/Trump’s/Eloon’s MAGAs are a redux of PSYCHOPATH Hitler’s Nazis = psychopaths (1 in 25 persons in the general population) & their psychotic human pets.

History’s confirmed that these stupid, fragile, gaslighting, SADISTIC PERVERTS will grow HORRIFICALLY worse until stopped.

ladyoldandgray.bsky.social•4 days ago

PSYCHOPATH Trump (KGB Codename since 1987: Krasnov) has been PSYCHOPATH Putin’s bootlicker for decades.

Trapped within the behavior patterns of their disorder, WORLD DOMINATION/ENSLAVEMENT is the agenda as RUSSIA’s Republicans—also cultivated over decades—destroy America/Americans to pave the way.
