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.

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

The only difference is we're putting tariffs on things that we can source elsewhere vs the blanket tariffs from the states. But I agree we should also do all the IP stuff you mentioned.

Speaking to reporters at the White House, Trump said the United States has been "a laughingstock for years and years"

As much as it's a national pastime to take shots at the good ol' Yanks, I don't think they've been a laughingstock. Unless he means years and years in a painfully literal sense and those years are specifically 2016-2020.

Let's revisit this in exactly 4 years. I don't think there's anything that could make that statement sound reasonable between now and then.

As the article pointed out, your fellow countrymen were willing to exercise their 2nd amendment rights on beer because a trans person drank some. I'd argue this could be considered a slightly more consequential issue.

No one's blaming the people who voted against him, we're blaming the people who didn't.
