Trump may have backed down on his trade war against Canada, but Canada is not removing their retaliatory tariffs against the US.
And remember that Canada's tariffs are designed to target our red states.
Kentucky will be awash in unsold bourbon 😂

Canada's tariffs to remain despite Trump postponing tariffs on many imports from Canada for a month
Canadian government officials say Canada’s initial retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. will remain in place for now despite President Donald Trump postponing 25% tariffs on many imports from Canada for a month.

I'd watch Kentucky burn before Michigan, honestly @Joey D. Build the wall along the Ohio River!Trump may have backed down on his trade war against Canada, but Canada is not removing their retaliatory tariffs against the US.

Oh and B.C. is planning to impose a toll on trucks crossing the province to supply Alaska.Trump may have backed down on his trade war against Canada, but Canada is not removing their retaliatory tariffs against the US.

Ontario is threatening an export tax on electricity they sell to America.
My fervent wish is that Europe will take actions to make Trump look weak.
I also hope that Albo can grow a pair and can pile on by reneging on AUKUS. It was never going to be good for Australia anyway. Everyone knows that Trump would renege in a heartbeat for something as trivial as the associated photo opportunity.

Even if the Labor party did want to grow a pair. They can't make a move until the election is over and more likely to be convinced if we get enough Third Party or Independent seats to create a hung parliment. We'll be stuck with AUKUS if Liberal wins
Thank the heavens we have a much better voting system where its impossible to waste it. Just put Liberal and Liberal adjacent parties last (though the fact they might win and we still won't get a hung parliment shows how awful we can be).

Yep, although I should point out that exports to Alaska by truck are tiny in comparison to imports they receive by ship. Still, it's about sending a message. I suspect Eby will be hitting back even harder as this goes on.

Propably similar to us finns. We are polite but strict and determined. We dont get angry - we pity the fool. You dont need to shout and yell like america - thats just superficial. Its more effective to make you see your mistake and regret. That will teach you. We wont slap you in the face right away - but you can be certain we have registered your attitude.
Maybe one should ask russians from ww2 how it feels to be on the bad side of these polite and silent northern nations.
I used to personally know a very finnish gentleman who moved to Canada in the late 60s and drove trucks for some 30+ years there. The callsign on the nose of his Peterbild was "Big Trouble". That gives you an idea..

Nazis and russian dictators are not that different. Russian are just more cunning and sneaky in their actions and tend to kill more of their own people. Finland first fought off Stalin and then Hitler. Dont see much difference.
That said - I get all kinds of bad vibes from this Trump -crew running U.S. at the moment. Personal gain and fame above truth and greater good is alway a bad sign. Not yet sure if they are evil or just short sighted and dumb. And I think Zelensky is no saint either. There is, was and will be soviet era corruption in Ukraine, but that is minor league compared to Putin and Trump..

"We have an interesting deal with Japan, that we have to protect them, but they don't have to protect us..."
"We have an interesting deal with Japan, they basically allow us to use Japan as a massive East China Sea-based aircraft carrier, which will be invaluble when the inevitable US-China conflict over Taiwan begins."

CTRL F "insert 'DEI' term here" -> delete dialled to 100. What are the odds that I wake up next week to hear they retrospectively renamed that bomber to the Enola Straight... complete insecurity + ineptitude.

Why the Dems keep losing in a nutshell. Any Dem that is still talking about bipartisanship in the year of the lord 2025 needs to be primaried and have their balls crushed. What do we call someone who bipartisan-ly collaborates with fascists? A fascist.

It's almost as if they don't realise the rules of the game have affectively been thrown out of the window and have been since at least January 2016. It's not Queensberry Rules any more, this is Fight Club.

Yeah, there is no negotiating with terrorists. They have to step up and I hope some vocal anti-bipartisanship dems rise up during primaries, cause that crap don't fly no more.

Our Defense Secretary, the drunkard Pete Hegseth, has banned photographs of the B29 Bomber which dropped the atomic bomb on Hiroshima in August 1945.
In the photo below, you'll see the pilot, Col. Paul Tibbets Jr. posing in front of the plane, which he named after his mother, Enola Gay Tibbets.
See if you can guess why Hegseth banned photos of this plane.
The explanation is in the spoiler text below.
It's to do with "DEI". He has also banned a photo of Marine Corps Sgt. Maj. A.C. Gay.

Someone should call him out on that. Of course, nobody in the administration nor mainstream media either knows or cares.
