If we had a real global independent media the obvious question to these nations criticizing U.S. trade and domestic policy is why not sanction the U.S. Just like they do with every other country that doesn't bend the knee to the West hegemony. Freeze Trumps accounts, Elons, and any others involved in the administration. Freeze U.S. banks around the world and their patrons. Lock them out of their accounts.
Remember we did that to Russia and Iran. Also cap our NG and oil exports at a fix sale price.
FAFO. If they don't do that then its all BS crying. Call them on it.

I’m not saying don’t focus on the southern boarder I’m just saying with Canada whining about our guns flowing over their boarder into Toronto you’d think they’d be happy to work on securing the boarder.

Apples and Oranges. Chernobyl was a graphite cooled reactor and was running with a positive reactivity coefficient (when power goes up, the temperature goes up which raises power, etc. When Temperatures go too high, not only does power keep going up in a thermal carryaway type event the graphite coolant essentially is consumed). I was friends with some contractors (now US citizens) who were operators at Chernobyl and survived what should have been LD-100 lethal radiation exposure. They confirmed the unit was ordered to perform risky poorly controlled / poorly managed / poorly planned experiments on the operating reactor at the time of the accident. (FAFO)
In the US commercial core designs for power ops have a negative reactivity coefficient (higher Temps reduce power necessitating control rods to be withdrawn and for a water soluble boron concentration to be reduced in the coolant to keep the reactor from shutting itself down) and use water as a coolant. Following Chernobyl, lessons learned for the US (although designs and operations drastically different) included "special testing" controls / supervision / training for any testing or maintenance activities that could increase risk.
For what it's worth, most exported power from Ontario Hydro is not from Hydro plants but from Canadian nuclear power plants.

But do we really want another majority blue state? Could drastically change the political landscape.
Shut off Canada from accessing America.
That means no more of their shitty truckers picking up goods here, nor bringing in their crap which we already make here.
No more asshole Quebec drivers driving like shit on our highways ; actually all their drivers have no clue on the roads.
No more any of their shit going on here.
Make them bring everything on through their own.ports to feed and cloth themselves.
Another country that needs us, we don't need them at all.

No more of their scumbag citizens coming here and buying tons of clothes and leaving their trash all over. I live close the border and I remember a while back the Canadians were coming over in their crappy clothes and buy new here. So to avoid the tariffs when they cross back over they would dump all their old clothes in the parking lot and wear their new clothes back home in layers. First they tried donations bins and the lazy trash didn’t use them, next they tried dumpsters and it’s improved but not great. Yes they help the local economy but I can’t stand them. They also buy a lot of property in and around Ellicottville and have made it so expensive to go there it’s not worth it. Again this is good for us but it is worth it, maybe I don’t know. Im sure Hochul will tell me it’s worth it.

The initial response of these so-called "leaders" to everything that Trump does is to either counter or reject. Right up until they are reminded of the consequences of their stupidity. Canadians are proud. I get it, but don't shit your pants because Trump wants to charge you a dime to use the pay toilet.
They will fall in line and life will go on, eh?

While some Americans will travel outside the US for cheaper medical care (such as going to Mexico for elective dental care, or even to South America for cosmetic surgery), I am reminded that Canada, - for all they talk about their vaunted socialized medical care system, that the wait times for needed surgeries (NOT elective) is so long (I hear times of 1 year or longer), that Canadians will often come across the border into the US and pay for those needed surgeries out of pocket. It's either that, - or die waiting for some needed surgery in Canada.
I saw that when I lived in Buffalo through the years. The American doctors don't care as they are getting paid in full instead of what our insurance pays them. They are only too happy to do that!
So much for Canadian socialized medicine, Eh?

As much as I'm impartial to Canada, they are starting to irritate me with their actions lately. I can only imagine the citizens that don't like Trudeau and need to deal with his shenanigans. Really puts Canada on the negative side.
Shame, because Canada is such a beautiful country. Kind of like Upstate NY and Horechul. Love the Adirondacks, the scenery, and the Spring/Summer/Fall weather, but man, the politics are stifling.

This still occurs and contrary to popular belief many Canadians do pay for health care because the base care provided is not good. Many do still come to the USA because they will die waiting for cancer care in Canada. Their national plan doesn’t cover everything.

I dislike Canada and most Canadians. Their country is expensive, elitist, and beautiful. I go to Canada for two things and not often. I go to the aquarium up there and go to the butterfly conservatory. Every 5-6 years I go to a museum in Toronto. I get treated like a first class criminal when I go because I have a pistol permit. Last time I went the middle eastern CBP agents at the border tried to talk me into me having my pistol on me and that they would store it for me until I got back. I kept saying they are at home in my safe and I don’t carry them with me. He kept saying well some times people forget and that’s ok do you have one in your car or on you. No, no I don’t. Honestly pissed me off. I told him I don’t even bring a pocket knife with me and I feel naked with out a gun or a knife and he finally let me leave.

The closest thing to Canada I've seen in the last ten years has been in Lake Placid and Plattsburgh. Both had smug ass gay French bartenders with man buns who had a tough time serving us Americans. Our crew had to threaten the mangirl in Plattsburgh if he didn't step up we would self serve. He ended up making a very good dollar that night with our drunken crew.

Ontario slapping 25% surcharge on U.S.-bound electricity Monday, Ford says
Ontario will charge 25 per cent more for electricity shipped to 1.5 million Americans starting Monday in response to U.S. President Donald Trump's tariffs, Premier Doug Ford said Thursday.
The province provides electricity to Minnesota, New York and Michigan. Earlier this week, Ford warned the governors of those states about the coming changes.

I want an EV now. NOT.
Guess my electric bill is going up (again).
Thanks, heil hochul, for gutting power generation in NYS in favor of being dependent on foreign corporations.
Just one more reason to hope karma is a real thing.

And, of course, Hochul will blame President Trump even though it was she and Cuomo that gutted the power generation in NY.
But I'm seeing more and more farm fields being covered with solar panels here in WNY, which gets the least amount of sunshine for at least 6 months of the year. And the other 5-6 months of the year isn't all that great when it comes to sunshine either.
My electric bill has already become atrocious compared to what it was some years ago with similar usage. Now it's going to get even worse.

If her brain works maybe she'll keep that ugly mouth shut.And, of course, Hochul will blame President Trump even though it was she and Cuomo that gutted the power generation in NY.
A quick check confirmed Ontario was already bilking NY customers more than 300 percent more than power charges from the Indian Point they shut down .
Since electric bills in NY are so heavily laden with transmission, wheeling, distribution, taxes, and surcharges that have nothing to do with the price of the electricity used, some may not notice that the replacement power jumped from 300% to 325% unless someone brought it to their attention.
Might be cheaper to just run on my generator.

The world is used to the limp-dicked leadership of the dems. So when Trump tries to get us back to trade fairness, they immediately shit themselves and make stupid, irrational choices. I'm still convinced it will all work out to America's benefit. The easy thing to do is blame Trump when it is actually years of fecklessness by the socialists in DC, Albany and the rest of the country.

It's funny, I got a 275 gallon diesel tank, because 95% of what I use at my house is diesel, including my generator. So I buy in bulk. Saves a little bit, but it's more for SHTF/convenience purposes. It's nice pulling my truck up to my pump, filling it up and pulling it into the garage. No dealing with fuel stations and jerry cans. I keep dawdling the idea of throwing a 60 gallon Transfer Flow aux tank in my bed with a fill controller, and then I'll have 110 gallons of diesel on board.
Biggest decision I made was going to diesel for a lot of things, only because the fuel is much safer to store in large quantities.
Decisions, decisions.

I just bought a car and they sent a survey to use after we purchased. One of the questions on the survey was did we consider an EV. Answer was no, told the salesmen not even to try to sell me an EV and I’d be the last on earth to own one. After that the survey asked why we didn’t. I told them cost, range, not good tech.
Once China has been nuked, in a still developing, planned premptive strike, the fentaynl imports thru Canadian ports of 55 gallon drums of the precurors chemicals, will stop dead.
Canada is complicit....China owns Canada and many ports of entry....Canad cannot stop any fentaynl..............finishing China will end the totalitarian, world wide,belt and road bribe operation, and let the Chinese who survive, build a new government.
China is planning on striking us now.....the election was supposed to let them in to take Iowa and all of your guns. Kamala had the EO already written.............
China has already pre-emptively struck us, and war is the current state of affairs right now...
We can sink all of their subs and warships and nuke missle silos in less than one hours.................Beijing will be toast..............then we can invade Canada as a punitive measure.

25% tariff slapped on the 1.5 million electric users in three states. Canada says it will cost roughly $400,000 per day costing about $0.25 per customer per day adding about $8.00 per month to your bill.
