@Kontora @allenanalysis Fuck outta here with your bullshit.

@allenanalysis Greenland is ours, we have military bases over there. It must be secured for America for national and international security.

Pete Hegseth just unveiled “Greater North America.” A new strategic map — from Greenland to the Gulf of America — claiming every sovereign nation north of the equator is part of America’s security perimeter.

@Americanvalues @Parthenope_317 @TerryMoran That’s not what is happening

@Parthenope_317 @TerryMoran You'd rather see the US military 100% reliant on Canadian aluminum than to use tariffs to diversify and promote domestic production.

So having a stable trading relationship with our peaceful, democratic neighbor, with whom we share a 4000-mile border, has national-security implications? Trump slams Canada with tariffs. Canada diversifies exports of aluminum. Trump starts war. Needs aluminum. Genius.

@Coinbullishish @RBRHub Max will he fine.

@RBRHub I get it I also get he already has a lot of money. But cash flow is a thing. If he stops F1 then running a private jet isn’t a good idea financially So he would be wise to adjust his lifestyle a bit. Not ideal As good as he is F1 is a business and it won’t bend to him alone

Max Verstappen: "I'm not enjoying Formula 1 as a whole. That's what I'm saying. I'm thinking about everything within this paddock." "Privately I'm very happy. You also wait for 24 races. This time it's 22. But normally 24. And then you just think about is it worth it? Or do I enjoy being more at home with my family? Seeing my friends more when you're not enjoying your sport?" 'I want to be here to have fun' "I can easily accept to be in P7 or P8 where I am. Because I also know that you can't be dominating or be first or second or whatever, fighting for a podium every time. I'm very realistic in that and I've been there before. I've not only been winning in F1. "But at the same time when you are in P7 or P8 and you are not enjoying the whole formula behind it, it doesn't feel natural to a racing driver. "Of course I try to adapt to it, but it's not nice the way you have to race. It's really anti-driving. Then at one point, yeah, it's just not what I want to do. "And of course you can look at it and make a lot of money. Great. But at the end of the day it's not about money any more because this has always been my passion." "As a kid this is what I wanted to do and back then I had no idea what I was going to achieve and how much money you make. You never think about that as a kid. And it's also not about that." "I want to be here to have fun and have a great time and enjoy myself. At the moment that's not really the case. "Of course I do enjoy certain aspects. I enjoy working with my team. It's like a second family. But once I sit in the car it's not the most enjoyable unfortunately. "I'm trying. I keep telling myself every day to try and enjoy it. It's just very hard." "I see it like this: You hear it from a lot of sports people when you speak to them about how are you successful. It all starts with actually enjoying what you're doing before you can actually commit to it 100%. "Now I think I'm committing 100% and I'm still trying, but the way that I am telling myself to give it 100% I think is not very healthy at the moment because I am not enjoying what I'm doing. "And now people can easily say, 'Yeah, well, you've won so many championships and races and now just because the car is not good you are complaining.' Maybe you can see it like that, but I see it different." He added that one option would be to go and race in sports cars — he is already planning to take part in the Nurburgring 24 Hours this year. "I have a lot of other projects anyway that I have a lot of passion about. The GT3 racing. Not only racing it myself but also the team. It's really nice and fun to build that. And I really want to build that out further in the coming years." "It's not like if I would stop here that I'm not going to do anything. I'm always going to have fun. And also I will have fun in a lot of other things in my life." "But it's a bit sad to be honest that we're even talking about this. It is what it is. You don't need to feel sorry for me. I'll be fine." He implied that a change of the rules would make a difference to his decision- "They know what to do"

@1985jjohnson @DeanBaker13 So not Americans First…

@DeanBaker13 One was for buying votes and the other is for peace in the middle east. Step down from the soap box.

Can anyone explain how Trump can take$1.25 billion appropriated for foreign aid and divert it to his private “Board of Peace”, but Biden lacked authority for reducing student loan debt?

@CyberSamurai42 @JeanCharest_ First of all some people are jerks both Canadians and Americans. This is only an opinion, but I don’t think this anti-American hate was really widespread. I don’t see it day to day. But it’s a bit more complicated now, but that’s against the Trump Administration.

@Bubsy2000 @JeanCharest_ Delusional that anti American sentiment isn’t fomented in Canada regularly over the last 45 years. Again and again whenever political convenient. Trump is just the latest example amplified by social media and the generation programming by liberals from grade school by WE grp

La Maison-Blanche sait que nos économies sont étroitement intégrées et que de détricoter tout cela aurait des conséquences dramatiques, mais ils ne vont pas le dire à voix haute. ledevoir.com/economie/96725…

@CyberSamurai42 @JeanCharest_ How am I delusional? I live in Canada, sell American products, have business relations in the US, travel there as well. My customers and myself value Made in the USA.

@Bubsy2000 @JeanCharest_ Delusional

@CyberSamurai42 @JeanCharest_ Canadians had no hate towards the US before Trump became belligerent. And this is only political, because most Canadians like Americans. You are our crazy but fun neighbour.

@JeanCharest_ The White House knows the Canada benefitting more than any other country on the globe economically, by squatting along the US border while talking out the side of its mouth cheering on anti-American hate no matter who is in power is the opposite of an ally does and says

@DavePositive @Microinteracti1 Problem is it blew up in his face in Iran…

@Microinteracti1 What if the plan was to alienate allies, then take control of, (or have influence over) the oil reserves in Iran and Venezuela, so that when the dust settles, the US does not have to share any of it.

America is fighting a war it chose to start alone. And it is starting to show. America is now fighting a war it chose to start alone, and the consequences are no longer abstract. For thirteen months, Donald Trump has spent more time undermining allies than preparing to fight alongside them, publicly belittling NATO partners, treating long-standing security relationships as optional, and assuming that when the moment came, they would still fall in line. NATO collectively fields over 22,000 aircraft and more than 1,100 warships. The European members bring capabilities that matter in this theater: mine-hunting vessels essential for Hormuz, anti-submarine frigates, AWACS early warning aircraft, Alliance Ground Surveillance drones, and a continent-spanning signals intelligence network. Add Canada, Australia, decades of basing agreements, interoperable command structures, and 700 million people whose economies and industrial capacity dwarf anything Iran can threaten. That is what is sitting on the sidelines right now. And Iran has noticed the difference. Iranian precision strikes have now hit US bases in Bahrain, Kuwait, Qatar, and Jordan. Iran has fired over 500 ballistic missiles and nearly 2,000 drones since February 28. The US military was built for the Cold War, designed to fight a land war in Europe with allied depth, shared logistics, and burden-sharing across a dozen countries. None of that exists here. Every missile intercepted draws down American stockpiles with no allied production line feeding them back. Western ammunition stocks and missile interceptors are being depleted while the surge in energy prices throws a lifeline to Russia's economy. A different president would have had that burden shared. Britain's mine hunters. Norway's submarines. French carrier strike groups in the Indian Ocean. German logistics and airlift. Australian intelligence integration. The full weight of the Western alliance, distributed across willing partners who understood the mission because they helped design it. The allies broadly agree on the destination -- a non-nuclear Iran, open sea lanes, regional stability. But Europe was not consulted. Europe did not help shape the objectives. The United States launched this operation with little to no consultation, while expecting to use allied bases and receive broad support. "What does Trump expect a handful or two handfuls of European frigates to do in the Strait of Hormuz?" Germany's Defence Minister meant it sarcastically. The answer he did not bother to give: quite a lot, actually. Mine clearance. Escort operations. Anti-drone coverage. Signals intelligence. Logistics depth. The unglamorous, essential architecture of a war that does not end in month two with your stockpiles gone and your strait still closed. But that conversation is now closed. Canada said it had "no intention" of joining and had not been consulted before the strikes. Every NATO nation in Europe refused Trump's call to help reopen the Strait of Hormuz. Trump declared the United States "does not need the help of anyone." The Strait remains closed. American soldiers are dying. And 700 million Europeans, Canadians, and Australians -- who would have come, under a different president, without being asked twice -- are watching from a distance they did not choose.

@SukritGanesh @nejatian We need fossil fuels, the electrical grid is no where near ready for mass EV adoption.

@nejatian Yes, but it should purely be for exports. Canada's policy should be to reduce domestic fossil fuel consumption to near 0 while maximizing exports. Take the route of Norway.

Canada needs to build a pipeline. Fast. When the West faced an old shortage during World War II, the US built the Big Inch Pipeline. 1,200 miles of pipeline built in months. Crews laid 9 miles per day of pipeline - with 1942 technology. Northern Gateway has been in review since 2006 (20+ years). Northern Gateway is about half the length of Big Inch. We have much better technology than we used to. Let's just build!

@TheGOATstreams2 @CigsMake Don’t get me wrong, there’s a lot of entertainment available. But I’m glad I was a kid in the analog days. Boredom is a good thing, I’ve had life defining moments sparked because of boredom. My kids are somewhat experiencing it too. They’re doers.

@Bubsy2000 @CigsMake The reality overall? no.. But for keeping yourself entertained vs the passed.. Yes.. Much more to do today which is much better than what we had in the past.. Reality overall today is still much worse than the 90s. Anything in a post 9/11 reality is shit

The toys they made in the 70s and 80s would guarantee class action lawsuits, still preferable to iPad brainrot

@CapitalIntSteve @ABDanielleSmith Maybe she knows what the next steps are. Also, if this leads to expanding oil and gas production and sets the stage for pipelines across Canada, that would be a huge win.

@ABDanielleSmith How do we go from having a premier that talks nonstop about defending alberta from Ottawa to a premier trying to encourage albertans to be excited about an MOU with the same crooks

Agreement #2 of 4 from the MOU is complete. Alberta has already demonstrated for years we can reduce methane emissions while growing our economy. Today’s agreement with the federal government keeps the management of methane in Alberta’s hands while reducing those emissions 75% below 2014 levels by 2035. We’re getting the job done for Albertans. See full details here: alberta.ca/release.cfm?xI…

@TheGOATstreams2 @CigsMake It is not better…

@CigsMake Stupid fucking toy.. All you idiots reminiscing about the 90s lately.. Forget about all the stupid worthless shit we had to entertain ourselves. Bop it... Squeeze.. Pull it.. smh The internet is so much cooler than this shit

@AmericanGr8ness @business Is this all about milk?!? Because it’s the other way around. The US has a larger effective tariff than Canada.

@business Maybe Canada should drop their tariffs and we might help them more than we are

Canadian Energy Minister Tim Hodgson pitched increasing natural gas flows to the US, aimed at boosting LNG exports from the Gulf Coast and meeting rising power demand from AI data centers bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

@Nirox3 @ProgressNow00 @RobSilver It’s Canada. The Maple Syrup Mafia (MSM) secretly control the world.

@ProgressNow00 @RobSilver The media is the very reason he came into power in the first place, they control the narrative & they work on behalf of a foreign nation.... Guess which one?!?!

Imagine explaining to someone a decade ago that the President of the US and the Iranians put out contradictory statements on a Monday morning and everyone knows the US President is full out lying and the Iranians are telling the truth.

@RameshBotha @Mylovanov It’s only 17D chess?!? I thought he was at 156D chess now, my bad.

@Mylovanov Finally! So tired of analysts trying to "explain" 17D chess strategies that clearly dont exist.

Allied leaders stopped trying to find hidden logic behind Trump's actions. They understand any contribution they make will count for nothing. Few days later, Trump will not even remember it happened — Anne Applebaum, The Atlantic. 1/

@Pellrik @say_so51856 @Mylovanov Listen, 4D chess was Trump 1.0. It up at like 156D chess now (I think), he’s playing beyond, beyond chess.

@say_so51856 @Mylovanov You still think he is playing 4-D chess? 😂

@JoRansing80929 @sarobertsonca Your arrogance will be your downfall.

@sarobertsonca Canada has very little leverage. They have nothing we need. We want some things, like potash, but not badly enough to trade anything substantial. It's not a give and take at all. It's more like giving a donation in exchange for Canada doing a tap dance .

Jean Charest on CUSMA negotiations: "On the American side, it's all take and not a lot of give. If we're going to have a real negotiation, it's going to be give and take on both sides. It's not going to be a one-way street."

@mileslunn @drmikehart I’m a centrist that voted for the Liberals and I’ve listened to JRE since the beginning. Sure I think he’s flown off the rails a bit and don’t agree with everything he says. But I still listen to the podcast (not every episode).

@drmikehart In United States, in Canada only right listen to him. Median American voter would be very right wing by Canadian standards because there is massive difference between two countries.

Saying Pierre Poilievre going on Joe Rogan is “just pandering to his base” is wrong. Rogan’s audience is full of centrists, libertarians, independents and even center-leftists. Long-form conversations don’t reinforce beliefs—they change them. This is audience expansion.

@drmikeDO1943 @colewhogan Do you think it’s ok that we will have no dairy industry whatsoever? Kind of a big thing to ask, no? We would be 100% reliant on the US for all of our dairy, all of it. Canadian farmers can’t compete with the massive subsidies the US gives to its dairy farmers.

@colewhogan Drop the dairy tariffs.

"A tariff does not bring the production to America. It raises the price of aluminum and therefore the F-Series truck. Get rid of that tariff, you lower the cost of that truck. [...] It's in America's interests to come towards a tariff-free deal and it'll be good for both of us". — @PierrePoilievre

@stevet_140 @janicour @WeAreCanProud Canada has always benefited from its alliance with the US. The US has also always benefited from the alliance.

@janicour @WeAreCanProud You should read more. We have been very fortunate to have the world's strongest, richest and most democratic Superpower as our neighbour. That alone has protected us from threats.

US vice president JD Vance launched into a series of attacks on Canada today, arguing that our government has taken advantage of the United States by underpaying on defence and creating an unfair trading environment. What do you make of Vance's comments?
