Report: CANADA! CANADA! CANADA! CANADA! CANADA! CANADA!

Wild. Never heard of this before.

This was just 233 days ago:

Anyone beginning to think the fentanyl thing for Canada's border was ... not entirely truthful? In the sense of rank bullshit?

Words from the White House ripple across the world. Every word is scrutinized by staff before a statement goes out, and by friends & foes after it goes out. The talk about annexing our neighbor and NATO ally is a national security and economic debacle. There is no upside to analyze.

Booing any country's anthem in Canada is almost unheard of.* To boo the US anthem - before Trump, almost unthinkable. *I at least have never heard of it before.

This is it, not tariffs. They are booing a moronic thug-state making threats to the sovereignty of their closest ally. The US is destroying what goodwill it had left in the world and is on its way to being a kleptocratic failed state pariah...so yes, everyone is going to boo you, you giant babies.

Those who erase the past intend to repeat it.

An amazing resignation letter to Bove from an AUSA who worked on the Adams case. Money quote: “I expect you will eventually find someone who is enough of a fool, or enough of a coward, to file your motion. But it was never going to be me.”

Yep, we are looking at a possible global trade dispute based on fact that one man may believe VAT is like a tariff. (He may not believe it, and just wants an excuse to raise tariffs.) Either way: the stupidest timeline.

As is being noted, the acting heads are not random people. They were selected by the Trump administration. Even they are resigning.

Within hours of the felons excessive tariff announcement, U.S. travel agencies, tour companies, airlines, & accommodations in the US experienced a mass exodus in the form of trip cancelations by thousands of Canadians, causing an estimated $2.1 billion in loss. www.thetravel.com/canadians-sa...

Step 1: attack Canada and all allies for not spending enough on military. Step 2: pledge to cut own military spending to Canada's current level. The stupidest timeline.

Great discussion on @tvotoday.bsky.social’s The Agenda on how Doug Ford has failed to Protect Ontario’s Crown Jewels, including Ontario Place & Science Centre. Ontario Place for All’s former chair Cindy Wilkey made these sites formed part of our identity as Ontarians youtu.be/8hnD5yJpOTY?... #onpoli

Consider it settled: Georgian Bay is a lake. A Great Lake. #sixgreatlakes

Majority of Americans say they oppose Donald Trump’s threatened tariff war against Canada Nearly two-thirds of Americans oppose Donald Trump’s threats to launch an unprovoked trade war against Canada, new US poll finds

Just to be clear: nope, hard no.

@mattyglesias.bsky.social: “If we seem to be unsustainably lurching from crisis to crisis, it’s because we are unsustainably lurching from crisis to crisis.” www.vox.com/2015/3/2/812...

A écouter. Probablement ce que j'ai entendu de mieux sur la politique menée par Trump depuis quelques jours. Merci @alexjubelin.bsky.social pour ce nouvel épisode du collimateur.

A new piece from me where I poke around Putin’s approach to foreign policy. A slightly unusual piece, even for me, which I hope you’ll enjoy reading as much as I enjoyed writing it. www.cirsd.org/en/horizons/....

Weird how not a single one of the newspapers and magazines that have been breathlessly churning out "cancel culture" thinkpieces for the past four years have managed to use the word "censorship" at all to describe the most rapid and comprehensive campaign of mass-censorship in recent US history.

The way Trump's fans and new appointees jumped straight into warlike vibes against Canada and Mexico I was getting worried that this time it was a genuinely planned strategy. Instead they were just marks in another rugpull, but this time in geopolitics rather than crypto.

I'm glad that America is doing real classic end of empire stuff. A king who is visibly losing his mind declaring a war based on a dream he had. Greedy courtiers feuding over access to the treasury. Some looks are timeless.
