    Meanwhile, our ACTUAL PM is saying things like:

    “The most important thing right now — more important than anything else — is for Canadians to remain united. This is a time for us to pull together.

    and

    Tariffs are the USA’s plan to “see a complete collapse of the Canadian economy. Because that will make it easier to annex us, is the second part of his thought. That is never going to happen. Canada will never be the 51st state”

    But that doesn’t make good accelerationist bluster for headlines, so all the Yankee media will ignore it in favour of Canadaman Dougie.

    As a US citizen and Canada/Ukraine/EU/democracy supporter; I pray someone or some group finally takes off all kiddie gloves and gives trump (and thereby me and others in the country as collateral) a divine smackdown to finally make that fucker or at least those close to him realize the world and history won’t stand for his/their fascist putin titty-sucking antics.

      Also pro democracy US citizen.

      I live in the only part of the lower 48 that is not directly connected to the American electric grid. Northern Maine gets 100% of its power routed through Canada, with the majority coming from Point Lepreau Nuclear Generating Station in New Brunswick.

      If Canada stopped providing electricity, there will be 70,000 people without power in the middle of winter with no recourse.

      A majority of my neighbors voted for Trump. FAFO.

      Just gonna pedantically mention that “kid gloves” aren’t something like mini boxing gloves for kids and tiny-handed presidents, they’re adult dress gloves made from supple kid (goat) leather. One would remove them for bareknuckle brawling. So “kiddie” doesn’t quite work. Obviously this is an informal forum, but it’s something to know in case you are talking about something more serious, like having to handle a difficult client with kid gloves; i.e. circumspectly.

      “That fucker’s fascist Putin-titty-sucking antics” is spot-on. Appropriate for any situation, imho.

    Rather than turn it off, jack up the cost by 25% with the line item Trump Tariffs in larger bold letters. Add another 25% and another line item called Democracy Tax while they’re at it.

    Hit them in the pocketbook.
