Gas prices. That's the weak spot. If Americans' gas pump prices go waaaay up they can and will oust this administration sooner or later. We need to impose absolutely punishing export fees on oil and gas, using the revenues gained to protect any other sectors they slap tariffs on (currently steel and aluminum). The big oil companies can absorb the hit, they make insane profits, no sympathy for them -- we should pass emergency regs to prevent them from passing on the expense by laying off workers. If they want to do business in Canada and access our resources, they also need to help defend Canada in our time of need.
^^ this. We need to explore all options for other trade partners. No going back at this point unless things really change for the long term down south. We cannot rely on or trust them any more.
Gotta hand it to him, even though he pissed off most of us (and I will never forgive him for reneging on electoral reform and reigning in CSIS/CSE for domestic surveillance), he's at least appearing to do the right things for our security during his swan song.
Immediately impose 25% export tariffs on oil and gas to the US, all proceeds directed to support the Canadian steel and aluminum industry.
Oil companies in Canada can suck it and help preserve our country, they're rich enough to take it. Pass emergency legislation to bar them from laying off oil & gas workers. If they squeal, call them out as fascist enablers and make it 30% unless they shut up and agree.

Quislings. Money-grubbing Quislings.
Not new at all... but certainly more relevant than it's been in a long, long time :/

Thank you for being open to the possibilities of that. I wish none of this were happening and feel for those in the US who are going to have to endure what is to come. I can only count myself fortunate I'm not actually there, and only adjacent.
He must know the end is near, and the idea of his grave being pissed on repeatedly until his headstone has crumbled and he is forgotten... bothers him somehow. Boo hoo.
If so, then call him what he is: a Quisling.
ELsevier is trash and should be destroyed, they profit off of paywalling human research.
Resist by using Annas's Archive, libgen and other dark libraries as much as possible so they don't get a dime. Or if a paper really interests you, try emailing the authors directly to request a copy; many are happy to give their papers out (so I'm told).
Rules for thee but not for me, right /s
