[Canada] Canadian Politics Redux

[Barrister]

There were limited tariffs imposed by Trump related to aluminum. And the counter tariffs had no effect.

Steel.

And it's hard to say for sure, but there's reason to think it had an effect.

Trump hasn't decided if Canadian tariffs will include oil.  He'll decide tonight.

Since apparently some people think I'm not anti-Trump enough - this is fucking insance.  The tariffs are supposed to start in two days.  Putting aside the tariffs on everything else, which will be devastating - tariffs on Canadian oil will have massive consequences on both sides of the border.

And you just haven't decided yet?  It depends on how Trump feels tonight?  So if Trump doesn't get ice cream with supper tonight it means tariffs on oil, but if he gets a belly rub before bed no tariffs?

Madness.

The problem is we're not a bully though.  If Trump's America is the hulking big 12 year old who needs to shave, we're the skinny kid in glasses.

That doesn't mean we just hand over our lunch money - because the bully is just going to come after our lunch money again tomorrow.  But we can't just go toe-to-toe with the bully either.

Mostly we have to hope that by standing up for ourselves and getting a couple of hits in we can convince the bully to go take some other kid's lunch next time.

I can see the appeal of the name.  But now that he has scammed millions of his fans and is back in the billionaire game, he can do much better and he does seem to have found back the graces of Melania.

Ever seen the movie Casino with Joe Pesci?

That's not what I was alluding to. Danielle Smith name is Marlaina Smith. I've seen no documents stating that her parents have allowed her to use a different name so Marlaina it is.

Ah, I understand the joke now.

I had the search for the name, but I didn't get why you brought it up
