Canada to divert aluminum to Europe in response to Trump tariffs - National | Globalnews.ca

[ik5pvx@lemmy.world]

Also seeing the face of Brexiters would just be worth it

[p1nkman@lemmy.world]

I'll allow it.

As a US-ian, I don’t know whether to upvote or downvote. The concern is real and response appropriate, but then you go off into the weeds, and …… take a breath. Politics bounces back and forth but has usually been somewhat sane. It might be again

[moody@lemmings.world]

Half of their imported aluminum, not half of the total. It's an important distinction.

[skillissuer@discuss.tchncs.de]

right, american production of aluminum metal is 1/4 of canadian production. it also critically depends on cheap elecrticity, canadians have nuclear powerplants and hydro, and guess what other funny thing canadians can do

[unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de]

I mean your country IS under educated and it does need to lose some of its dominance imo.

[absquatulate@lemmy.world]

Giving in to blind hate against your neighbours does nothing but help Trump's puppetmasters, who thrive on dividing allies. Keep calm and leave your elected officials do their jobs ( for now ).

As a Brit, I’d be sad they got to join but also quite proud of our daughter

Merge with Greenland under Danish rule and really watch the orange man explode

less mental gymnastics than what is required for anything in the States to seem same

Thanks for the numbers, makes a clearer portrait.

It's not just blind hate, it's a nation of under-educated racist bullies who are literally threatening to annex my country and are now cheering at nazi salute. You want us to engage in polite discussion with nazis? They choose to elect a literal pedophile (Epstein's closest friend, it's on tape) TWICE. What do you think these fascists pigs would do people like me: half-indigenous, half french-canadian and bi? They would fucking put me into a reeducation camp until I die. Americans can shot each other as much as they want, good for them, but they are now an ennemi and a real threat to the our species, that's not just an image. Our officials are just your basic neo-liberals fucks, we need to bring this entire system down, starting with fascist USA.

Maybe king Charles could marry king Frederik, but only in Canada, putting you into a personal union

Your country is threatening to annex mine...You want us to wait and hope your dictator becomes reasonable?

[aa5b@lemmy.world]

Oh no, I’m sure he will never become reasonable. It’s going to be a tumultuous and scary four years.

As I was saying, the response seems appropriate. However despite all our fears, there’s no reason to expect it to last more than four years. There’s every chance things will return to sanity then. In the meantime, the response seems to be resistance, making clear the consequences, then get on the phone and make some concession that you would have anyway, if the orange idiot would use his words. We can’t lose hope for the future

[eldritchfeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Not the Nazis, but the trans and bi and Jews and...

Or I guess we bi and trans Americans can go to the camps or get shot. Good to know we won't have any aid from Canadians in fighting back.

I admire your optimism but I think it's naïve...
He explicitly said, on multiple occasion, that he would "fix" the electoral system. He already attacked your Capitol, remember?
Republican won't accept to lose another election, they will make sure it doesn't happened.
Just wait a couple of months, shouldn't be long before you see their plan.

[yerbouti@sh.itjust.works]

.... It's your country that's threatening mine. You know the one where half the budget goes to the army and everyone has a gun? Your president was democratically elected, americans made a choice. What do you want us to do exactly, surrender so we can be together in the camps?

[eldritchfeminity@lemmy.blahaj.zone]

Elected by a margin of 1.5% of the vote, in an election where 2+ million mail-in ballots were thrown out, with black voters' ballots being 9 times more likely to have been thrown out, and where more than half of the voting public didn't even care enough to bother to vote.

I'm saying have some damn empathy for us dirty American faggots and trannies who are likely to end up in a camp with no government to protect us - hell, a government that is actively hunting us down for sport.

Or do you call German Jews Nazis as well? After all, the Germans made a choice. Hitler was democratically elected, too, you know.

You sound exactly like the Republicans do when they talk about China, or immigrants, or black people, or...

Don't buy anything American, urge every politician you can to fight against our government, anything and everything you can. But don't victim blame those of us who did and are actively fighting against the monsters the bigots and the white liberal masses put into power. I'm hoping for NATO to come and save us, not gun us down in the streets for being American.

[yerbouti@sh.itjust.works]

Dude chill, I'm not hostile toward you personally, sorry if it sounded like it. I'm not saying I don't have empathy for people who didn't voted for pedo, but in this situation, it's the USA that's coming after us, not the other way around. USA has the biggest army in the world, the craziest leader, and is threatening to annex us. And this governement is not even a month old... We need to protect our-self by any means.
