Evreybody should pause shipments of everything to the US.

Idly wondering what would happen if the Rest of the World, in response to #Trump 's latest stupidity, agreed and enforced a complete freeze on imports and exports with the USA.

Pretty sure that in my lifetime the only threat to Greenland has come from the USA. If they want Greenland to be safe all they need to do is leave it alone.

Idly wondering what would happen if all the countries affected by Trump's tariffs enacted a blanket ban on all exports to the United States.

When the neighbours start acting weird it's bound to have an effect on your happiness.

It's funny, because it's true.

#Canada #Trump #Tariffs Not my work (somebody from Mastodon). Canadians and Americans have long been friends and allies. Most Americans don't appreciate the story behind the current political stuation. It's not what it seems. www.ccoderun.ca/Trump_and_Ca...

I love how I can say, "I just saw one of those shitboxes driving on the road," and most people know what I'm talking about

I am, once again, lost for words at the level of bare-faced lies the US right-wing tell people and how they assume people are so stupid they will believe it. I am also lost for words at how many people actually do believe it.

This chart seems to suggest that something is going wrong in the United States, specifically. (www.ft.com/content/7568... )

How it started: We don’t need anything from Canada! How it’s going: • Wait, they’re our main source of aluminum? • Oil too? Seriously? • Potash? So farms need that? • They spend billions in tourism? • They make American cars? • My house is basically Canadian? • WTF, we rely on them for electricity?

He may well be right. Americans should resent those who have siphoned off the wealth of their country. The problem is that they can't recognise the culprits, elect them, or invite them into government, and cheer their cuts to programs and services which help them. inews.co.uk/inews-lifest...

I don't know who this guy is but he's absolute right.

When is The Red Wedding .... I mean Sate of the Union?

It's 12 years old. It could have been made today and would still be true. www.youtube.com/watch?v=fJh9...

I'm amused that people still believe that the USA is a "Union".

After the Trump/Vance performance in the White House today I'm even more convinced that we are on a path to seeing the USA relegated to the minor leagues in world politics. They are squandering the wealth, riches and respect of an entire nation. #Ukraine

I'm thinking the current isolationist policies of the US could backfire very badly. I can easily see a world split into 5 power blocks with China at the top, followed by Russia, India, EuroCan (Canada and Europe), with the US at the bottom. Other countires will likely align with anybody but US.

All female crew. Bezos coming out as a DEI supporter!

Interesting. The allegations continue to mount up. What's that saying about no smoke without fire? web.archive.org/web/20250221...

I'm thinking that the sensible countries in the world might be starting to question whether it is safe to have airlines from USA flying into their airspace.

Why is it up to Canada and Mexico to stop Fentanyl getting into the USA? The USA has laws against bringing Fentanyl into the country so it is up to the USA to protect their border. Canada and Mexico enforce laws against illegal drugs within their own borders, not elsewhere.

This is so good.

Time for Ted to leave for Mexico?

That sinking feeling when you get home, find the doors ripped open and everything gone. #NeedToBuyAnotherAdventCalendar

Anybody want to start a conspiracy theory / rumour? Musk buys Twitter. Trump creates government role for Musk. Twitter loses users in significatnt numbers to BlueSky. BlueSky users then start to have problems getting access. Coincidence?
