clicked link about a dead pigeon… was expecting/hoping to see some deepfake examples.

in 2014, the US bragged spending $5B on Ukrainian coup, and installing nazi puppet rulership. That rulership immediately, as Ukrainian nazi did in Georgia, implemented apartheid laws and ethnic cleansing against Russian population that forced secessionist/autonomy movement. Russia spent 8 years pursuing peaceful resolution to nazi evil, that the west boasted as being a delay tactic to arm Ukraine sufficiently to provoke war. The war’s objectives are to keep a nazified militarized NATO aspirant Ukraine, to diminish Russia to the last Ukrainian. To this day, no matter how dim the prospects, Ukrainian terrorist missile capability is cheered on and enhanced to prevent peace and territorial/people integrity.

That you describe reality as pro Russia is demonic hatred to perpetuate a losing war to no benefit to anyone but weapons and oil profit grifters. You are directly responsible for the breakdown in unity and democracy even if you are just gullible rather than a liar profiting from evil.

Apparently, only $1B of Canadian goods would become tariff exempt.

Recycling may be woke now… haven’t received official decree yet.

Talk to Americans - they’re embarrassed by how their government is treating Canada.

The US political rulership, including retired UAW workers, is largely supportive of Trump’s unjustified attack on Canada. There was a timid non-binding resolution in Senate, but there is no mass protest, or passionate vocal condemnation, of Trump/US attack on Canada. Instead, the poltical establishment recommendation is that the US needs to leverage its traditional soft power subjugation of its colonies that corrupts our democracy into unanimous subservience, and has historically been so successful, but that political establishment accepts a wait and see approach to Trump’s extortion tactics.

Imminent US collapse is what elected Trump, and his confident grasping at straws that effectively accelerates collapse is beyond the intellectual capacity of the public to understand its counterproductiveness. Stealing from allies economies will sell well to morons who don’t understand long term consequences, and potentially stave off collapse for a few years. Instead of grasping at straws of Russian mind control for hatred of immigrants and queers, understand the oil industry’s lobbying and disinformation campaigns to inject cultural issues to preserve their dominance for a few years in the face of civilizational collapse. Understand also how war on Russia massively funded that lobbying/disinformation power in Canada and US during last election cycle. It will fund Alberta separation disunity as well.

Being anti-demonic warmongering lies and propaganda is not Pro Russia. Forcing Russia to defend itself, and use entire world’s diesel refining capacity is forcing the collapse of civilization. It is always easy to prioritize demonic war over human sustainability, because of gullible and hateful people victimized by liars. Allying with a demonic US empire that has shown it hates us, at the relevant government/policy level, is contempt for humanity, not just Canada. That most Americans are polite enough to be likeable doesn’t affect US policy.

afaiu, the court argument is not declaring that this is a fake emergency. It is that tariffs are not the appropriate response to reducing fentanyl imports.

They sell everything in China, afaik. In Trump 1.0 economy, there was a huge number of unicorn startups (Wework, Doordash, Uber) that lost money. Many of them are profitable today. That practice is good for economy in that equity investors are subsidizing consumer value.

Bottom line is that dumping is a political attack against abundance. Disruption usually requires a marketing effort to ramp up scale, and it would be unreasonable to force price increases on any company losing money, when they would not lose money if their sales volume was higher.

Ford reports that its latest loss per EV is $40,000. It used to be $100k. But they don’t disclose how much of this is plant depreciation, which US rules allow for aggressive expensing. So for Ford, EV cost reporting is a PR operation to get government/stakeholders to stop it from making EVs.

Xiaomi EVs are very attractive vehicles, and previous loss reported was $6000. It certainly would sell well priced $900 higher, but it looks like volume and marketing will let it achieve profitability soon enough.

There’s an appeal plan, and it’s possible that they try to keep the tariffs during appeal process. That the US hates Canada hasn’t changed.

Canada has specifically not turned to the US for the latest NORAD spending. So how are we subjugating ourselves to them?

Our defense needs are exclusively protecting us from US. Both NORAD and golden dome which would most likely be under NORAD supervision are expenses that we make to protect North America only because we are aligned with US evil that might require annihilation of those aligned with US evil.

Whether we buy our “force projection” and “defense projection” systems from other countries than US, our military/defense system so far has been to be under US command. We should be paid significantly to have NORAD and golden dome on our soil/air, but Canada does not actually need the protection unless it chooses US aligned evil against the world. We can measure the cost of evil in NORAD/Golden Dome expenses.

Aluminum is a substitute for copper in any straight wiring application. PEX for domestic piping.

Canada should not be “negotiating”/subjugating itself to this. Instead it should demand the US pay for NORAD. There is a huge cost to Canada for sycophancy to US empire. Our entire military spending is based on force amplification to the US empire’s demonic and genocidal imperialism, and the illusion of impunity for consequences, makes us cheer on the propaganda for evil, and not pay enough attention to the costs.

So much prosperity in Canada, EU, and other US colonies can be unlocked through spending on other than a militarist destiny fueled by Russophobia and Sinophobia propaganda.

Heaven vs hell can be imagined at a very general level as abundance vs scarcity. Earth can be transformed from a hell to a heaven. A self serve abundance of a hunter-gathering lifestyle can still be heaven. But tourism from heaven to hell where forced servitude provides the abundance to those guests permitted abundance would further mimick the earthly hierarchy.

No. It’s appeasing trump, and his number.

Ethanol is bad mostly because energy prom pv solar is over 15 times higher.

A circular corn ethanol economy Is not a solution to make it better. Just produces less surplus per acre.

Not clear. Even if no fertilizer use. Harvesting, transportation, fermentation are high co2 emmitters. Where fertilizer boosts yields, it may be a minimal contributor to net emissions.

Land owners making ethanol precursors would want high yield crops.

At least we will talk tough for a few months before increasing our subjugation level to USA to over 9000.

The great prosperity of war and fascism to the rescue.

You are right that intercontinental shipping of h2 is the last frontier for h2 economy. Local production from solar, and short distribution routes is first step.

Oldish news from 22,23. Trend has strengthened.

What this mainly proves is that renewables is cheaper than coal. Even with solar imports from china, and possible local/closer supply of concrete.
