A full listing of US products that will be subject to countervailing tariffs. If patriotism isn’t sufficient incentive to buy Canadian, economics may be. There is no doubt these reprisal tariffs will hurt Canadian consumers. But Trump’s unprovoked economic attack requires some kind of response. And I think Canadians are grimly determined. Even if we have to give up orange juice and California wines.

It’s been a rough few weeks for Canada’s Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, who will be stepping down next month. But tonight he gave a powerful speech that should make all Canadians proud. It wasn’t carried by American television. But my American friends, I hope you will watch it and share it. And understand that for us, this betrayal is about more than economics. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=I #Canada #tariffs #cdnpoli #tradewar

I will never forget that this is what Americans voted for. Not by accident. Not for the lolz. Not as a protest. On purpose. And yes. I know “not all Americans.” I know that many Americans on this site, in particular, opposed him. But not nearly enough of you. You have declared economic war on us, your most loyal ally and trading partner. You have torn up trade treaties and a century of friendship over a lie. There is virtually no fentanyl coming over the Canadian border. And very few migrants.

Interesting. The Senate recently did a big update on our Microsoft computers. When the dust settled, it came up with a new configuration that pushed MS News at us. Primarily FOX News and some very "bro" centric lifestyle sites. All pro-Trump all the time. With the help of my staff, I was able to resent my configurations to Canada, and get CP and CBC instead. But. The Microsoft default was right wing news sites, sports, and pictures of women with big boobs. (No thanks , I've already got some.)

Someone explain PixelFed to me. Can I use it to make it easier to post photos to Mastodon on this account? Or is it a completely different thingy? (By thingy I mean platform or instance.) I don’t find it easy to post photos or short video clips here. Would PixelFed fix that? Or is is just a different realm where people share pictures? #PixelFed #Mastodon #mstdnca

If you need a quick reminder of why Nazis are bad, and why Nazi salutes played for lolz or shock value are in what might be politely described as poor taste, I suggest following @npub1ncpq...zvaq for a little clarity. A curated feed that literally puts a human face on genocide.

So. Trump’s inauguration is being moved inside because of “extreme cold.” How extreme? -7 C. What we in Edmonton call t-shirt weather! Not quite sure what that bodes for Trump’s Canadian annexation plans. But my dog and I just got back from a jolly sunny walk under crisp -27 C blue skies! https://www.reuters.com/world/us/trump-inauguration-be-moved-indoors-due-cold-temperatures-cnn-reports-2025-01-17/
