@_mind_your_biz@igorsushko That was not a drone. As the driver opened the trunk, probably caused by having fuel cans in there filling it with gas vapor, a spark caused the fumes to light up.
@UPoteko@Maks_NAFO_FELLA 1st tweet "before NATO gave aid to Kiev, now the west openly talks of prep for war". 2nd "we are ready to quickly respond to any external/internal threats". 3rd "the west is making Russia take steps to protect itself and then accuse Rus of all mortal sins".
@KMLOnt The Chretien and Martin governments ran a dozen years of not just balanced budgets but surpluses, the national debt was reduced by about $100 billion. Harper immediately ran us back into debt. He then put us in structural deficits with his tax policies.
Today, His Majesty the King visited the Canadian Cross of Sacrifice at Arlington National Cemetery in Virginia, USA.
This monument honours the Americans who, moved by a sense of duty to fight for freedom, joined the Canadian Armed Forces in the years before the United States officially entered the First World War. It was later rededicated to all Americans who joined Canadian forces in the Second World War and the Korean War.
His Majesty’s act of remembrance is a powerful reminder of the bonds between our countries.
@PolymarketBlitz@DailyMail The Daily Mail is not a reputable source, the are infamous for sleaze, lying, fabricating, wire-tapping. A british tabloid doesn't have inside sources in the New England Patriots organization, they're making it up.
It is always interesting seeing Canadians spreading misleading information against Canada. Let us verify this claim using the official trade documents and the binding legal rulings.
For the context, the screenshot shared in the video shows the introductory page of the United States' formal complaint from 2021. Presenting an initial legal accusation as proof of an ongoing violation is a standard disinformation tactic.
The Facts of the Dispute 👉 Canada legally committed to providing U.S. dairy producers access to specific quotas under CUSMA. The U.S. challenged how Canada allocated these quotas to its domestic processors.
Canada revised its allocation methods in 2022. The U.S. launched a second dispute panel in 2023 to challenge the revised rules.
On November 24, 2023, the CUSMA dispute settlement panel issued its final, binding report. The panel ruled entirely in Canada’s favor. The international panel confirmed Canada's revised dairy quota allocation practices fully comply with its CUSMA obligations.
The claim of an ongoing violation is definitively false. ❌
The Government of Canada officially confirmed the final legal outcome with this statement:
“Canada is very pleased with the dispute settlement panel's findings, with all outcomes clearly in favour of Canada. This is good news for Canada's dairy industry and our system of supply management.”
# Official CUSMA Sources
You can verify the rules governing this access and the subsequent dispute in the official Canada United States Mexico Agreement text:
Chapter 3 (Agriculture): Article 3.A.2 dictates the administration and allocation rules for agricultural TRQs.
Chapter 2 (National Treatment and Market Access for Goods): Annex 2 B, Appendix 2 outlines the exact volumes for the Tariff Rate Quotas of Canada.
Chapter 31 (Dispute Settlement): This chapter governs the international panel process that ruled in Canada's favor in November 2023.

@vocalcry Account used private posts to list a bunch of names. Actors in this case and when one of them is in the news for a crime or serious event they delete all the other names and make the account public with the news worthy name the only one left, a scam.
@weaver_ste52410@Tablesalt13 Why does the U.S. subsidize the overproduction of milk in states like Wisconsin and then attempt to dump that oversupply on foreign markets?
@weaver_ste52410@Tablesalt13 So no examples then? You also, I'm sure, realize if how you describe me is true, then it reflects very badly on your relative intellect.
@weaver_ste52410@Tablesalt13 What are you talking about? Cite specific examples of Canada trying to collapse the U.S. economy, force it's capitulation and make it the 11th province.
@RobertDoel76 We already have a deal with the U.S., which they are in violation of. In our unique situation, with an unstable U.S., a deal is going to be quite difficult.
@weaver_ste52410@Tablesalt13 What free stuff? Violating a trade treaty by imposing 50% tariffs on steel and aluminum is an economic war. The stated goal is to weaken Canada economically and make it the 51st state.
@TaxTooDamnHigh@Tablesalt13 The consumption rates of 350 million has made access to long term cheap electricity in U.S. impossible. In a Country with 40 million and hydro and nuclear combined produce excess allowing for long term supply possible. 40%+ of aluminum costs is electricity it has to be cheap.

Commerce wants companies to commit to building new US aluminum capacity in exchange for tariff relief on Canadian & Mexican imports.
Sounds reasonable. It isn’t.
Aluminum isn’t manufactured. It’s electrolyzed. Electricity is 30–40% of total production cost. One large smelter consumes as much power as a mid-sized city every single day.
That means before you invest a dollar in a new smelter, you need one thing above everything else: a 20-to-30-year power purchase agreement at competitive rates.
Those don’t exist in most of the US right now. The regions that historically powered American aluminum Pacific Northwest hydro, TVA, Ohio Valley baseload have seen that cheap power disappear, get deregulated away, or get competed for by data centers and EV manufacturing.
Canada 🇨🇦 , meanwhile, has something no policy can touch: geography. Quebec and BC sit on some of the world’s most abundant hydroelectric resources.
Cheap. Permanent. A structural advantage that existed before Section 232 and will exist long after it.
You cannot tariff your way to cheap electricity.
So when the government asks companies to commit to new US primary aluminum capacity in exchange for tariff relief it is asking for a commitment the underlying energy economics make structurally impossible.
That’s not a financing problem. That’s not a business problem.
That’s physics meeting geography. And no trade policy has ever won that fight.
Next.
@JNot163825@Tablesalt13 It is a war to cripple Canada's economy so that Trump can annex Canada. It is open and overt economic warfare to force a nation to capitulate. Any shooting war wouldn't be fought conventionally by Canada. Easy to invade tough to keep, price will be too high.
