There was another nazi in history whose first act of business was to terminate treaties…we all know how that worked out for the world…

“The dumbest trade war in history”

The WSJ Editorial Board slams Trump’s trade war with Camada and Mexico:

“Mr. Trump sometimes sounds as if the U.S. shouldn’t import anything at all, that America can be a perfectly closed economy making everything at home. This is called autarky, and it isn’t the world we live in, or one that we should want to live in, as Mr. Trump may soon find out…

None of this is supposed to happen under the U.S.-Mexico-Canada trade agreement that Mr. Trump negotiated and signed in his first term. The U.S. willingness to ignore its treaty obligations, even with friends, won’t make other countries eager to do deals. Maybe Mr. Trump will claim victory and pull back if he wins some token concessions.

But if a North American trade war persists, it will qualify as one of the dumbest in history."

If it is being used to harm an individual/group of people or people…then it is off. If it is a power play to get what the institution wants…then it is time to lay that down. It’s no longer working as intended and the more you twist it…the more likely you are doing damage.

There really isn’t a binary of Indigeneity. Most of us live in a spectrum based on different types of influence and how much we value that influence. Due to factors like Indian Residential Schools, 60’s scoop and rapid decline of traditional knowledge in favour of jobs and

That’s colonial appropriation but their blood quantum gives them a sense of entitlement to it. Blood memory does not fill in the fullness of knowledge to wield these things successfully.

If it’s a token expression…if you have no authority to be doing the thing…
