I'm glad Trudeau's taking Trump's threats seriously. Most people don't want to admit that Trump has become completely unhinged and has gathered a bunch of sadistic henchmen around him who are happy to push his most demented ideas.

Easy to lose this in the noise of the day, but the prime minister of Canada just said the US president, leader of the global hegemon, wants to soften us up economically so he can annex us. That is one of the most remarkable statements, and realities, in our history.

In 1890, the Tariff Act came into place in the United States. It placed tariffs on imports of up to 50%. While touted as a way to build American industry, there was also the hope it would force an annexation of Canada. It backfired. Let's learn more. 🧵1/10

Trudeau: "Every country is very aware that if the American government is willing to do this to their own closest ally, neighbor, and friend, everyone is vulnerable to a trade war."

Trudeau: "I want to speak first directly to the American people. We don't want this. We want to work with you as a friend and ally. We don't want to see you hurt either. But your government has chosen to do this to you. As of this morning, markets are down and inflation is set to rise dramatically."

Trudeau: "He talked about banking again today in a tweet, which doesn't make any sense because 16 banks are currently active in Canada holding about $113b worth of assets in this country... what he wants is to see a total collapse of the Canadian economy, because that'll make it easier to annex us."

Trudeau: "What Trump said yesterday that there is nothing Canada or Mexico can do to avoid these tariffs underlines very clearly what I think a lot of us have suspected for a long time: that these tariffs are not specifically about fentanyl even though that's the legal justification he must use"

Trudeau: "They're talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin- a lying, murderous, dictator. Make that make sense. Canadians are reasonable and we are polite. But we will not back down from a fight...Canada will be implementing 25% tariffs against $155b of American goods."

I called my dad yesterday and mentioned that they might not want to assume that social security checks would arrive on time. His response was "I don't have to worry about that, it's all computerized", which I thought was an interesting look into how people assume DOGE's cuts won't affect them.

Every time someone says the midterms will save America, I always say, I do not presume free elections. These idiot vandals are taking an axe to how government works, often illegally, at every level, in order to benefit themselves. Why would they stop at rigging elections?

If DOGE is a federal agency, it can’t shield its records from the public. If it’s not an agency, then its tens of millions of dollars in funding weren’t legally allocated and should be returned, some contend.

If you're expressing "bewilderment" abt why Trump would betray US allies for Putin, you probably need to go back & read what Trump was up to when Mike Flynn investigation halted negotiations w/Kirill Dmitriev, who has picked up right where that left off. www.emptywheel.net/2025/03/02/r...

I’m still processing what we saw in the Oval Office and it’s difficult to put into words how disgusted and ashamed I am. This was a coordinated assault on an ally to benefit a dictator and authoritarian regime. Trump and Vance aren’t just Putin’s puppets, they’re his assets.
