@WRZUSA1776 @RepTiffany @DeptofDefense @PeteHegseth @POTUS @mtgreenee @GovKathyHochul Rainmaker Co is an American company.

I think you might mean it's a tragedy of the commons rather than a national security issue.

Trump's demands to Zelenskyy (the defender):

1) Formal apology
2) Give up the minerals
3) Hold elections even though Ukrainian law forbids it
4) Declare Russia as the non-aggressor
5) Give up all the temporarily occupied territories to Russia

Trump's demands to Putin (the aggressor):

Absolutely nothing.

This cannot be stressed enough - Trump is allied with Putin.

[Adam Cochran (adamscochran.eth) @adamscochran]

Canadians are done with Trump’s shit.

Instead of backing down, they’ve settled on $155B of retaliatory tariffs (on the same day they’ve asked the UK for nuclear guarantees against the US)

And here’s the critical part:

-Most Canadian imports to the US are raw materials, at preferred prices, that the US doesn’t have other sources for.

-Most US exports to Canada are finished products that Canada has other sources for, even if less preferred.

-US oil refining is 100% reliant on Canadian processing minerals.

-US fertilizer and thus US farming, is reliant on Canadian minerals and potash.

When it comes to trade, the unique relationship between Canada and the US means Canada can punch *FAR* above its weight in how its tariffs impact America.

You’d rather have $20 of generic Chinese tariffs, than $1 of targeted Canadian ones.

If Trump doesn’t back down on this, Canada can continue to tighten the screws.

And honestly the political will of Canadians united in hatred of this moment and not wanting to be pushed around, suggests that Canada’s population is far less likely to blink first, when compared to a divided, exhausted and price-gouged American population.

In wars we talk about the “defender benefit” in trade wars that holds true as well.

Having something worth fighting for and a unified hate of a common enemy is a powerful thing.

Dear @nationalpost: You're giving Lomborg *10 columns* to obfuscate reality, minimize real risks to Canadians, and advocate dramatic policy changes for a country with which he has no citizenship ties. Will you give some of us Canadian climate policy folks a platform to respond?

@RCRBuck Is there another way to cultivate the airborne mindset without the Maroon baret?

Could you insert an experience or a series of experiences to the wider CAF to get an 80% solution to the fitness, trust, mindset benefits or do you need the individual to rise to the occasion?

[Callum McNeil @Callum_McNeil]

The trouble in an integrated supply chain.

American retailer selling Canadian products.

It's a start and greater awareness will yield improved choices.

[The Food Professor @FoodProfessor]

My wife was at Costco this week and ran into some neighbours who were trying to avoid American products… at Costco, an American company.

Confusing out there.

Too bad the US wasn’t so worried about fentanyl czars back when their company, Purdue, was getting everybody hooked on it.

Multinational science Delphi:
- #COVID is airborne (100%);
- indoor areas drive transmission (100%);
- N95 masks help (96%);
- public health pushes false info by denying airborne (90%);
- vax alone can't end COVID (97%);
- false info undermines social cohesion for response (99%)

Cool project in the Canadian north!

Could probably tell a good 🐋 tale or two at the end of it!

@KeithinMex @dale_dsll @MidOfficer @KeithinMex -can't speak to what you perceived but there have been drastic changes in lifestyle and nutrition which have occurred since the 00s, let alone since the 70s. Video below is from perspective of US recruiting.

Hivemind- when is somebody no longer infectious from #Covid?

Provincial regulations say five days self- isolation from start of symptoms & a mask indoors for another five. How does the math work to define the risk delta of day 7, 9, 11 or 16?

@pbontoast1 @CanadianForces Tasking CAF as a catch-all is scope creep & reqs a refocus. Def a WoG approach which leads to larger rdns & resilience infrastructure questions - climate change will inc severity + freq of events- atmospheric rivers; flooding; droughts; fires; storms etc.

Dinner on Mars? Two food security experts say it's possible.

"If we imagine a food system on Mars we will unlock solutions for here on Earth," says @Feeding9Billion in tonight's episode with co-author @DrLenoreN.

[Dr Charlie Gardner (also on the blue place) @CharlieJGardner]

We could have acted on climate in the 1990s, but special interests persuaded us it wasn’t necessary

The whole reason we need such emergency action now is because we listened to these delayers then

It would be crazy to do so again now
