What right isn't always popular, and what's popular isn't always right.
I can't blame people who just got slapped with a CoL increase because the great orange leader of the dipshit bigot brigade needed neded new meat to toss to his base. If you're throwing punches everywhere, some bystanders are gonna get bloody noses though.

That's exactly right; the policies that your government is putting forward only hurts middle and lower class on both sides of the border.
Honestly, the only way to overthrow a dictatorship is to roll heads. They're not going to be voted out, that's for sure.

Not sure, I don't live in Ontario anymore so I'm not so plugged in on provincial politics. It would certainly be very like Ford to make all these big aggressive moves but ultimately fuck over Ontarians in the process. But like I said, I'm not aware of the details, so that's just baseless speculation.

Doctorow likes to put it as “hitting them right in the dongle”.

70% of American voters allowed Trump to be elected by either voting for him or not voting. Only a minority of 30% tried to stand against him. I hope Trump has a hell of an impact on the 70%. Every one that cries that they voted for him but have lost their job or whatever fully deserve it. Nothing he is doing now wasn't known before the election. None of it is a surprise. The only surprise is that 70% of Americans supported him destroying their country.

For now.

Ya, all of South America just out here proud of Vespucci, the pickle dealer. First thing they say landing in Tokyo for a visit. "Hello, I'm American," they say.

All based on the dollar belling the oil reserve currency, when other countries switch America's going to be the first fourth world country.

I'm talking about stuff like this

New York, the blue state? Canada is likely bluffing, as that's a wet dream for Trump.

Western NY is super red. Saw loads of Trump flags on lawns in 2022, not even a presidential election year. Very kind and friendly people though.

We could stop respecting US copyright laws everywhere outside of the US. That would be hilarious.
I mean I already don't respect them, but legally they still matter unfortunately.

Do it, do it, do it, do it, do it, do it.... America needs to learn, I say this as an American.

Absolutely would not surprise me one bit.

GDP is largely a bullshit metric anyway.
Two economists are walking in a forest when they come across a pile of shit.
The first economist says to the other "Ill pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." The second economist takes the $100 and eats the pile of shit.
They continue walking until they come across a second pile of shit. The second economist turns to the first and says "l pay you $100 to eat that pile of shit." The first economist takes the $100 and eats a pile of shit.
Walking a little more, the first economist looks at the second and says, "You know, I gave you $100 to eat shit, then you gave me back the same $100 to eat shit. can't help but feel like we both just ate shit for nothing." "That's not true", responded the second economist. "We increased the GDP by $200!"

Honestly, I don't think there's going back to any level of normal. Maybe by quickly destroying the system, we will be able to quickly rebuild it (after all the destruction to everyone's lives)

In Spanish, as far as I know, "americano" = inhabitant of the American continent, "estadounidense" = person from the US, so I don't think Mexicans would be offended at the first, at least not in Spanish.
