I feel like some cancon would have been a better choice for this sentiment.

What is your Canadian choice for this meme?

From this US citizen, I'm pulling for Canada and Mexico. I may have to pay more, but I'm comfortable to weather it. I want it to fuck up everything and clearly have it because of the tariffs. Pork, whiskey/bourbon, oil... Hit red state exports first and hardest, then do the rest as necessary. Make it hurt

Every (former) ally needs to sanction the US hard in whatever ways they can. No working with a fascist government.

So I learned yesterday that some auto parts cross the borders of Canada and Mexico multiple times during production. I think we will see mass layoffs at auto facilities in the US inside two weeks.

[–] [email protected] 12 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Michigan's governor warned of this. It's going to very badly affect the automotive sector.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

A bunch of Michigan dipshits voted for him, are gonna be hurting from this.

Yeah but also isnt it kind of insane that stuff get shipped back and forth between windsor and detroit just to add a few more parts each time?

[–] MutilationWave 5 points 2 days ago

It is and I don't doubt that there is a reason for it that is not practical. By that I mean it's making a capitalist money that way. But that issue is negligible in the face of ... this

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 day ago (1 children)

My choice, with a lot of effort and no talent, so apologies for the jpeg

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 day ago (1 children)

That is epic Canadiana. Props for including Cyril Sneer in the background.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 day ago

Lol, thanks! The second I saw "what is your cancon choice", I looked at my Raccoons screencaps and thought this is my time.

If you are a Canadian or Mexican please contact your representatives and have them do a more targeted tariff plan. Target American red states directly! Oil tariffs should be universal but anything made in red states and counties should have a 100% tariff. Force industry and goods to flow through blue areas and Trump's support will crumble.

BC has started to do its part for that, where the province will immediately stop buying liquor products from "red states".

I couldn't be prouder to vote for the BC-NDP last year.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 2 days ago (1 children)

Looks like Ontario, Quebec, Manitoba, Newfoundland, and Nova Scotia are also taking the same route (except not restricting it to red states). I don't expect much from Alberta or Saskatchewan but where's New Brunswick's and PEI's stance on this?

[–] garbagebagel 3 points 1 day ago

I'm proud of you too! That was certainly a butt clenching election.

Holy shit I might join up. Just seeing the start screen made me feel good and I have felt like shit for days.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago (1 children)

This would be awesome. I loved the old BBS days.

I was particularly fond of Legend of the Red Dragon and Planets: The Exploration of Space -- door games forever!

I may be out of line here, but I think we need to forge stronger alliances with China and the EU. Yank, no thanks.

Relevant, but not cancon. You're on lemmynsfw, so maybe you could find something on the Canadian owned PornHub?

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (1 children)

I want to apologize and let you know I did not vote for palpatine and don't understand why anyone would. Especially given our version has video of him shooting lightening from his hand. Granted before the election he did say he did not know anything about the dark side handbook that his chums where passing around and was not going to follow it. So I mean he did decieve us kinda.

[–] [email protected] 9 points 2 days ago

Somehow, Trump returned.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 2 days ago (3 children)

I predict Trump will back down within a month and the newly "Trump good" media (an odd reversal after 8 years of "Trump bad") will do what they did with Colombia and claim him backing down is actually him winning because they now propaganda for the GOP instead of the DNC.

[–] jaybone 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

In what media did you see 8 years of β€œTrump bad”? Most mainstream media seems at least neutral if not supportive.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Your lived experience and/or memory of the resistance years is apparently VERY different from mine...

[–] [email protected] 6 points 2 days ago (1 children)

We'll see. I think this is the opening salvo in the USMCA negotiations, so I wouldn't be surprised if it continued until that was renegotiated.

Or it could end next week. πŸ€·β€β™‚οΈ

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago) (1 children)

I'm still frustrated that it's his own trade deal that he is renegotiating...so then his original deal wasn't good? Maybe he shouldn't be the* one in charge of it?

I know its mostly yelling into the void, but goddamn.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago (1 children)

not being sarcastic, what news companies have switched their messaging to be pro-trump? I must not have been paying enough attention to american outlets because I haven't seen this shift in the stuff I read.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

The tone of all non-MSNBC (and maybe MSNBC, they're so irrelevant they might as well not exist and I've seen nothing from them) televised media has a DRASTICALLY more pro-Trump tone than ever before -- CBS, NBC, ABC and CNN

[–] [email protected] 10 points 2 days ago

Give into the trade wars you knob.
