I have a stack of unpaid parking tickets from private companies that begs to differ

It does when another computer is a temporary session on a virtual machine…

If only rocks were so damn rare we wouldn’t have needed to use plastic!

Theyre worried about me pirating content that I would otherwise pay to Netflix?

They can fuck right off

If you took 9th grade science you would know that bitumen is a form of crude oil and then you wouldn’t have written this pretentious post making a point based purely in semantics.

When we sell ninety percent of our oil to the states, we actually kind of need them too.

Canadian oil is produced by private companies. 90% of oil is sent to the US.

Its a huge leverage point but it would absolutely devastate the canadian economy to do that.

We arent trying to self immolate here.

Its a bargaining chip.

Im curious if the midterms will bring unrest.

Tell it to your congressman and president guy. Tell your friends and family to tell it to those people.

We know average Americans dont hate us, but the US administration sure does.

Why call it alberta time and not MDT?

Pretty pedantic no?

Its easy to criticize, but when you ask for a solution, they’ve got nothing. Literally zero.

Except for a large scale die off of humanity.

something something, the planet can only support 1 billion

As if 80% population loss is somehow a solution

Mexico capitulated to the US

Trump waging economic warfare against Canada.

My point is that existential threats override real concern about incremental gains in administrative power by the government. I used Denmark as a hypothetical and parallel example of a country that could centralize given the same condiitons, threats to sovereignty, not anything to do with what theyre actually doing.

Even if they are, so what?

If you were looking at a different country that was actively being bullied, would you argue some crap about centralizing power?

If Denmark started centralizing power in response to trumps threats to the sovereignty of greenland, then what?

You talk like this is a problem that government is responding to external existential threats in the means that are available to them.

Are you arguing the Carney government should relinquish power?

Should they decentralize their capacity to influence things inside the country?

Perhaps you can answer just this.

What is your point?

You can reframe the point all you want. Bottom line is trump laid a wide suite of tariffs against Canada to create a win lose dynamic.

Its has direct negative impacts on the canadian economy and it was every bit intentional to do exactly that.

Trump attacked Canada, full stop.

Nice how you manage to conveniently gloss over his direct threats to canadian sovereignty.

And remember I said economic war, never suggested there was military involvement.
