I would be very surprised if there aren't a ton of calls happening right now between Trudeau and other world leaders.

Even if it isn't about simultaneous tariffs, we need to line up allies and trade partners. Repairing relations with India and China could be top priorities. I expect more announcements over the next 48 hours...

I use zenutech.ca

My usage is relatively simple/low and I haven't really had much to compare it with, but it's been fine for me.

“People say ‘Well, this could be just a short-term thing,’ and maybe it is, but it also could be a long-term, structural thing,” he said.

This is ultimately my hope with all of this. We increase trade and connections with everyone else in the world and they all do as well. As it backfires(?) and brings down the US hegemony, Canada needs to be prepared to leave big brother behind and move on with our cousins and siblings from another mother.

I think some drone factories might be in good order for Canada, too.

That's wishful thinking. It won't last though; production will go down and prices will go back up. And while the prices are down the producers suffer. And when production goes down there's less money in the economy and we call that a recession.

Canada needs to put similar tariffs on U.S. goods until the U.S. takes serious action to prevent smuggling of guns, cocaine, meth, heroin, and steroids into Canada over the Canada-U.S. border.

In any case, I foresee fentanyl production within the U.S. skyrocketing in the next couple of years.

I haven't had to use antacids since I quit drinking, FYI.

I had brief time I might have needed it recently, but I think that was bad food.

Time to take a look at your eating and drinking habits.

I.e. If they don't care about themselves, why would they care about anyone else or the environment around them?

I haven't heard about this? What'd he do?

Everything you said, and I like Singh, but I think he's frustrated and it's coming out in some of his (public) behaviour. Definitely time for the NDP to be looking for their next leader.

Yeah, if you had that on your screen at work and someone saw it, you'd likely get talked to by HR. It's not a grey area. I'm not saying it's raunchy or pornographic, it's just not appropriate for a workplace, hence not safe for work.
