@NSceptic11501 Trump is temporary. The damage he and Carney have done is permanent.

@ChidiNwatu @MarkJCarney @vonderleyen Have you noticed that most of Alberta's oil pipelines (all except the one to Vancouver) connect with US refineries? And that the proposed LNG terminal in the Maritimes was dropped long ago? You can't sell what you can't deliver.

@trainofangels00 China, Canada, and the EU all have trade surpluses with the US. Who's going to buy your stuff?

@benmaritz Wait 'til she sees the 1099-C. Debt forgiveness is taxable income.

@CBHeresy On my mom's side, nearly half of my grandparents' generation left their village in Ireland for the US and Canada. The place was later demolished and absorbed into a national park.

@esrtweet Right. Just like the way they're so upset by the Uygur genocide.

@jk_rowling In His inscrutable wisdom, God has decreed that we must struggle in this life. In His infinite mercy, though, since we must have enemies, so many of them are like this. Also, He loves a good joke.

@Graham_Mark_E Oh, please. Imagine living next to Russia instead.

@tuuu28283 I've never heard it used except in WWII contexts. My father flew in a bomber crew against Japan in China and I never heard the word pass his lips.

@japan_nobunaga I'm a retired CPA. I guess I'll be the guy running behind the general on horseback with his geta.

@OluwaKolapo2108 There's a Chinese dish called "mother and child reunion." I saw it on a menu on Mott St. NYC, long before Paul Simon's song.

@ApexSeeker_ Back in "may issue" days, my firearms instructor said that the proper and sufficient answer was "For any lawful purpose." Done.

@Dwarvenshmirtz @ApexSeeker_ If my boat ever gets out of the repair shop, I would be happy to furnish an alibi.

@WangNextDoor2 @TomaSkyviyr The point is that this man had not passed through our borders Our customs and border patrol officers have some latitude in refusing entry. He was not arrested or punished -- he was just turned away. A US citizen could not be turned away, but could be arrested.
