“Here’s what 76 percent means… It means the Canadian government has permission from the Canadian people to hurt you, and to keep hurting you past the point where reasonable people ask if we should stop.

@n1xnx @janhoglund I don't like the idea of cutting anyone's power. I think there's a lot of road before that should be considered.
@johnefrancis @n1xnx @janhoglund The more you put their power prices up the more you can put yours down so you don't need to cut them off just make them even less competitive and canada more so.
But I still think acknowledging Trumps fentanyl fantasy and setting up strict drug and gun searches on trucks crossing the border to cause a 48 hour backlog would be more poetic.

@NWengrov @janhoglund One word - brexit.
And we didn't even offer to invade anyone

“…his own country hasn’t been able to stop him. The courts haven’t. Congress hasn’t. Forty trillion dollars in debt hasn’t. So maybe the thing that finally does it is a 40-million-person country…turning the American economy into a lesson about what a friend costs once you’ve made him an enemy. Maybe it takes the North freezing him out for Americans to remember what he’s cost them. We’ll take that job.”

@LaNaehForaday @janhoglund Yeah, "I was only joking" doesn't work when the gloves are already on the ice. You're carrying your teeth home if you're lucky.

@johnefrancis @n1xnx @janhoglund Did you not read the article? Canadians don't do proportionate retaliation.

@chris @driusan @n1xnx @janhoglund we have to keep in mind that the MAGA movement is a money-amped extremist minority, and that US voters might toss it soon.

@rupert @janhoglund um that is true. Take the Cree people for instance. It hasn't gone well for them. Canada has broken every treaty it's made. Canadian rah-rah ism is so tiresome. Yes, yes, America is worse. But please just stop with this nonsense.

@EdwinG @johnefrancis @chris @driusan @n1xnx @janhoglund I have been saying this since Trump went all 51st state shit - either cut it off, or tax the shit out of what the US actually needs from us (and they will still buy, no other choice), and throw the revenue into green energy, health, housing

@Flux I want to have some fun with the idea.
Here’s my offer:
- We start at 5%
- Every day, we generate a random number between 2 and 10
- We add it to the previous day’s rate
- Reset every 3 months for maximum funKeeps them on their toes
