Tariffs are on our milk going to the US. What they're doing doesn't affect American milk entering Canada negatively or positively. The simplest solution is to just not buy American products at all.

Sadly they've also proven they're not even friendly with themselves. They're a wildcard.

Maybe they're factoring in all the job losses, if someone can't afford to buy food at all they won't be paying any tariffs.

Is there any other country that has isolated themselves from as many possible allies in recent history? North Korea is at the very least tolerated by China and Russia, who does the US still have positive relations with? Maybe Israel?

I was really hoping that was going to happen during the Superbowl. Maybe there are some other events we could mess with.

They send a lot by tug and barge. Some of the loads you see going up there are quite precarious looking, containers stacked 6+ high with all sorts of "loose" cargo on top, from RVs to excavators to small boats on trailers. It would be a real shame if they had to travel through international waters instead of the nice, sheltered inside passage.

Wow, $2.01CAD/L that's actually slightly higher than our notoriously high BC prices. I was assuming it would be something like $1CAD/L which is a low price we'd dream of here.

I'm curious, is there somewhere you can see votes broken down by county, or preferably more granular than that? I remember seeing an article a month ago about one of those small Alaskan panhandle towns that relies on its bigger BC neighbour town. They were begging the BC/Canadian government to take it easy on them because they didn't vote for this but the article immediately fact checked them with an Alaskan government stat showing that town in particular voted something like 80% for Trump. My point is, I've been hearing a lot from both Point Roberts and Port Angeles and I'm curious if they're full of shit or not.

I agree. I think we'd be better off supporting their new independent nation[-states?] than absorbing them. Too many systemic issues and too large of a population to change overnight, not to mention all the guns. Maybe we could accept Hawaii, I think they're far enough removed from the continental states.

Isn't Canada donating seized Russian assets to the Ukrainian war effort?

We'd always have been offended, just now we're more likely to be "immediate punch to the face" offended.
