Language matters.

The President is empowered by a Congress controlled by a narrow majority. Rather than the individual they have chosen, I am pissed at the Republican party. And disappointed in the American people. The guy? He was always that way and would have continued to be so at a safe distance from the levers of power without his enablers.

It is the American and especially Republican relationship with Canada that is important in this situation. Those are what endure, that person is only momentarily significant. So, where we can choose the narrative, I think that's important to focus on.

Plus I suspect he likes the sound of his own name.

Dang it, I am here waiting for our crap prime minister to come out on stage to let the nation know if we are doing anything in response to this. Its like blue balling for national sovereignty.

Edit going to write down my thoughts as he talks: Oh here he is.... comes out with a grin then remembers this is not a good time for that. And now is talking "if" the usa goes though with these "threats". MY DEAR SHITHEALING IDIOT, THIS IS NOT A WHAT IF! Like is this guy even working in todays reality, and not last weeks?

"We stand at the ready to work together" so we are doing what? what does that mean?

Oh 155 items being tariffed back, so we are responding to a total tariff regime with a limited one. I guess better then nothing?

Still watching our great leader talk (I guess this bothers people?) and I am sad to see the attempt to appeal to reason and compassion with the american government. When will we learn?
