U.S. declares war with Canada

[Isabeau]

Cause this is what this is.

Trudeau just finished speaking, and I’m watching Ford right now on CBC, and he’s angry.

He may not be anyone I’d vote for if I were living in Ontario, but glad he’s not making maga excuses.

The orange fool will start a war against the whole world in the end. And not only an economical one I'm affraid.
Just like predicted, but sadly not seen by the largest group of people who could be arsed to go and actually vote in the USA.

Hopefully it will stay more or less peaceful on our planet until the American midterm elections, where the American people will have another chance to change the situation. That is, when there will be a meaningful voting left by then.

The European slogan should become: Not a freaking cent to the USA anymore. We are huge investors in American companies. Withdraw that money over the next months, and let's see where the Donald stand then with his big mouth.
With the current America as a friend and ally, one doesn't need an enemy.


How could we ever end up with such a horror clown show?

He's panting to annex us by any means necessary, starting with financial war. World, beware.

Though I don't still agree with a lot of his philosophy, I do still agree with one old quote by Frederic Bastiat:

"If goods don't cross boarders, soldiers will."

I know I'm preaching to the choir here, but it does feel like Trump is intentionally ruining all our alliances as if weakening us on purpose.

"If goods don't cross boarders, soldiers will."

Though if they invade on cybertrucks... they won't invade very far...

Just spray water on them.

Just spray water on them.

Or throw beads at the windows.

Jack Daniel's maker says Canada pulling US alcohol off shelves 'worse than tariff'

The comments ha ha
It’s all just business to them. Your country threatens another, and all you have to say is, hey no fair…

Well yes, problem here is: how much oil does the US Army get from Canada to run their tanks and such?

We have many other sources of oil.... but that doesn't make this whole thing any less stupid.

Trade wars are so great! Prices for scotch and cognac were already climbing... I'm so thrilled the idiots have taken over... notice my sarcasm.

What am I supposed to do? Drink like a poor person??? And I was mostly thinking of foreign sourced liquor getting more expensive. Wasn't thinking about how those things are often seen as "fancy" haha.

Whew, at least my supply of Domaine de la Romanée-Conti Grand Cru 1945 burgundy won't be affected! That would be terribly inconvenient!

(Sorry GoblinCampFollower, it was more than I could resist.)

That Jack Daniels parent company has pulled out of @hrc.org's annual Corporate Equality Index is a reason every #LGBTQ Bar, Pride, festival, event should boycott Jack Daniels/Brown Forman Corp products

Pffffffff... you just googled a super fancy wine! French wines are criminally overrated..... Most of the best wines come from CA like Opus One. Fortunately they might not be too affected by tariffs? at least not as much?

Well, until we secede from the US.
