Vermont imports a quarter of its electricity from HydroQuebec. We’ve made it very clear this past weekend what we think of the administration. All the same, I completely understand.
I live in the US and I will suffer, but I really want the rest of the world to give us hell. Fuck Trumpler and president Muskrat.
If other countries decide to bomb or invade us, please start with the south east
Maralago, then Disneyland, from there, probably Texas, Alabama, the bad Carolina and then Montana. The animaniacs should jump into a cool song for this.
once canadians/Europeans/ S.americans stopped vacationing there, florida will probably be dead before that happens. since retirees dont benefit the state in anyways, and is more likely to soak up all the tax money anyways indirectly
Trump said Monday that “vast amounts of fentanyl got poured into our country” largely through Mexico and from China, and he encouraged car manufacturers to build plants in the U.S. to avoid the upcoming tariffs.
If the media actually did their jobs, they would add the context that the US seized all of 20kg of fentanyl at the Canadian border last year. This claim is, according to the US government’s own numbers, absolute bullshit.
They would also note that in order to enact these tariffs without involving Congress he has to invoke a “national emergency”, which is the only reason why he’s suddenly all about stopping fentanyl.
If the media did their jobs, they would be discussing how the amount of drugs available is not the reason for the drug epidemic, that addiction and mental health are linked more deeply to socio-economic problems, including structural economic problems, issues of social mobility, the destruction of the social fabric etc.
building manufactuering plants takes years, and it probably wont happen anyways, because the high cost of importing materials, and paying much higer wages.
Hmm, maybe Trump could do something to reduce the cost of importing materials from other countries to help this along?

This was actually new news to me, and I watch the news every night. Thanks for sharing this!
I was imagining scenarios where people were free-basing maple syrup or something.
Only about 1% of fentanyl in the US comes across the Canadian border. Where is his rage and attention for the sources of the other 99%
Ah yes, manufactured rage to bypass regular checks and balances and do whatever he wants.

Are you not? I guess, if you’ve never had Canadian maple syrup I understand
What do you call that thing where they pour syrup on ice and then roll a stick in it? I had that once. It’s kinda like drugs.
Maple Taffy
Actually all kidding aside, I’ve always wanted to try a real Canadian maple syrup, but the supermarkets near me never seem to sell that stuff.
I’m planning on making a trip to Canada to be a tourist at some point, and if I do I’ll be sure to hook myself up.
If you like maple syrup, go to Bulk Barn and grab a bulk bag of maple candy. Thank me later.

Thanks! I’ll be sure to check it out.
I tried going to their web site, but my browser is telling me there’s a security issue with it (“Error code: SEC_ERROR_UNKNOWN_ISSUER”).
They’re a legit place?
Heh, they’re a legit place but I’ve only been there in person. I didn’t even know they had a website
You can get those maple candies everywhere. They’re absolutely delicious.
Thanks.

The majority of America doesn’t listen to things that don’t reaffirm their beliefs.
If a news outlet doesn’t tell the people what they want to hear, another news outlet will.
Well said! Exposing truth through the US propaganda lies.
It’s too bad 90% of the people meant to read this statement won’t because they’re being lied to. :/
Trump can go choke on a bag of dicks.
“Vast amounts of fentanyl enter the US through Mexico from China. This is why we must slap a 25% tariff on Canadian aluminum and steel.”
Trump voters just hear “foreigners bad”.
I don’t think many Americans even consider Canadians to be foreigners.
Maybe that’s why he’s talking about annexing Canada. That and he being an egomaniac.
The US needs to start making their own fentanyl!
Make the mafia great again
I live in the US. I hope the world destabilizes our very flawed government and “democracy”
A two-party system is barely a democracy.
Good thing you don’t have to worry about that two-party system anymore!
… AND cutoff the Starlink contract.
As a Minnesotan, that would be very bad news for anyone here enjoying having relatively okay power bills. Unfortunately I have to agree with Ford; we totally deserve it.
awesome
I would love to see short brief interruptions.
Not enough that period due, but enough that it’s a huge pain when computer systems go down and network switches have to reboot.
