To get to Greenland though he's mostly got to go through Canada's territorial waters first, or else take a very long way around in the Alantic Ocean (giving more time for everyone to prepare a response).
So, he'd be willing to take on both Canada and Denmark (who'd likely be backed up by other members of the EU) ?
More hot air.
Hey, that's pretty cool (re: Libertarian Party of Australia and the AEC comment)
They should have got onto the fediverse instead.
I'm not sure how accurate this is, but from https://ottawacitizen.com/news/local-news/can-canada-still-trust-u-s-food-safety
However, this recognition does not exempt food imports from meeting the regulatory requirements. All food sold in Canada, whether it is domestic or imported, must meet Canadian food safety requirements.”
Canada has a robust system in place through onsite inspections and verifications to verify imported products comply with Canadian regulations, it said, adding that the CFIA is tracking any changes in the U.S. and other exporting countries “and will take any necessary action to continue to protect the health of Canadians and maintain a safe food supply.”
The implication being that they can inspect produce already certified safe by the FDA and that they will do so if they consider it necessary.
Whether or not they're already determined that's the case (vs still thinking about it), well....
It's bigger, as it's not just food safety at risk, but medication and medical device safety is at risk too, as explained in https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/article/amid-deep-cuts-to-the-us-fda-experts-warn-canadians-could-lose-vital-safety-information/
So by all means, organize to ban US food imports, but you shouldn’t have been eating it to begin with.
Who says we are? Boycott movements started months ago...
See https://news.ubc.ca/2025/01/canada-food-flows/ and https://www.euronews.com/next/2025/02/24/new-buy-canadian-apps-released-as-boycott-of-us-goods-in-response-to-proposed-tariffs-grow and https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/mar/12/i-feel-utter-anger-from-canada-to-europe-a-movement-to-boycott-us-goods-is-spreading for reference.
One other thing to add to this - Leslie from the article is likely a Canadian citizen, but a permanent resident in the same situation has a a very good reason for wanting to be able to maintain their ability to fly into the US. In short it makes it easier to return to Canada if you lose your PR card while abroad anywhere else in the world. See https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/ottawa/ottawa-travel-nightmares-permanent-residents-1.7509870 and https://www.canadavisa.com/canada-immigration-discussion-board/threads/crossing-us-canada-border-without-pr-card.869083/
Actually it used to be pretty common for those who live very close to the border to frequently cross both sides. Sometimes this even results in dual citizenship (if the closest hospital is on the other side of the border).
Alas, that's part of the old relationship, now dead and buried.
I just created a new magazine - https://fedia.io/m/AmerExit - to help folks out who want to find a place to go to.
I could be comparing apples to oranges here, but I really view this unfavourably compared to Peter Dutton in Australia - details in https://www.abc.net.au/news/2025-05-03/peter-dutton-losing-dickson-coalition-leadership/105247916 but in short Dutton resigned from leading his party after he lost both the national election there and also his own seat.
Also worth mentioning from the article,
I work fully in the office. But I think remote work is better for work-life balance. I don't have the option to work remote
Well, why not? Covid showed how great this can work .. but so many companies went back to 20th century norms as soon as the pandemic ended*
Well, there was a shout-out to Svalbard....
Your point stands.
Let's not forget the sacrifices made to avoid splitting the vote, such as https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/green-party-list-of-candidates-debates-1.7510915
