Prime Minister Carney knows full well there is no such risk, but he is evidently prepared to stoop to a level of extreme cynicism and demagoguery, inadvertently exposing his belief that Canadians are dimwitted saps, for political gain.
@DrJStrategy what a disingenuous take.
he said it was an extremely unlikely outcome, but he had to think about it.
what's the alternative? despite mr. trump's repeated and explict threats, we chose to do absolutely nothing?
iconic levels of mismanagement. poor quality product. botched releases. etc.
example: caitlin clark's first signature shoe should've released before sabrina's third release. also, they should have eaten the L and thrown all gt cut 4's in the nearest dumpster.
@SaraEisen not sure when it finally shows up in the sales data but nike basketball is in trouble. li ning, 361 & new balance are all making superior products.
dont believe it? check out bball sneakers reviews community on youtube... besides sabrina's line all their shoes rank poorly
@Molson_Hart@TrungTPhan its not the marketing...they make inferior products relative to their competitors, end of story.
there's an entire sub-culture of performance shoe reviewers on youtube (primarily running and basketball)....for years now, nike has ranked nowhere near the top.
@bballbreakdown maybe you should read what you said
fact is no foot work training will lower the risk of achilles tears. please find other uses for that time.
strengthening and stretching of the tendon are your best bet...none of this "remember to lower your center of gravity" pseudo science
@bballbreakdown you insist achilles tears are foot plant issues that can be 'trained away'
that is 100% false.
you've watched a small sample of achilles tears from NBA highlights..now you're an expert on preventing them
come on man, stop playing with peoples health giving them false hope
@bballbreakdown 1. I tore my achilles playing bball. I know exactly how it happened.
2. I've had multiple visits and conversations with my ortho about how and why it happened.
3. I've had multiple visits and conversations with my phsyio about it.
what are your creds?
@bballbreakdown Dame. Tatum.
they're not 'planting their foot' to move forward
they're setting their foot down to stay stationary or move backwards
then, in reaction to something, or a change of mind, they lunge forward..the momentum in different directions causes the stress and tear
@Alex_Sooch@bballbreakdown this is the most unhinged conversation any two people have ever had on this app
thousands of athletes successfully use the negative step every day...the instance of achilles tears relative to that is atomically small
you're wasting everyone's time 'training away' this ish smh
Dear @ScottJenningsKY
Let's talk cows.
Canadaโs dairy system is not simply a tariff wall designed to keep American milk out. It is a supply-management system designed to keep production roughly aligned with demand, stabilize farm income and preserve a viable network of family-owned farms. Imports are allowed in significant negotiated quantities at low or zero tariffs; the very high tariffs people hear about generally apply only after those agreed import quotas have been filled.
The United States protects its farmers too, often much more extensively, but it uses different mechanisms. American taxpayers support agriculture through crop insurance subsidies, income and price-support programs, disaster payments, commodity programs and direct government payments. Dairy farmers have access to federally supported margin-protection and insurance programs. The U.S. also restricts imports in sensitive sectors. Sugar is an especially obvious example: the United States uses tariff-rate quotas that limit how much foreign sugar can enter at low tariffs, precisely to protect domestic producers and prices. USDA explicitly describes this system.
So there is a real hypocrisy in attacking Canada as a protectionist outlier. Canada essentially says to its dairy farmers: we will control production and imports so you can earn a reasonably predictable income from the market. The United States more often says to its farmers: we will expose you more directly to the market, but protect your income through subsidies, federally supported insurance, price and commodity programs, and, where politically important, import restrictions. In 2026 alone, USDA forecasts federal Dairy Margin Coverage payments, while its broader farm programs continue to provide income, commodity and insurance support.
Both countries protect agriculture. They just write the cheque differently.
And that matters to the family farm. Canadaโs system was designed in part to prevent the boom-and-bust cycle in which oversupply collapses milk prices, smaller farmers fail, and increasingly large operations buy them out. Supply management gives a farmer greater certainty that producing milk efficiently can provide a viable living without having to become an enormous industrial-scale operation merely to survive the next price collapse.
That does not make Canadaโs system perfect. Quota is expensive and can make it difficult for new farmers to enter. But portraying Canadian dairy protection as some extraordinary trade offence while the United States protects its own farmers with quotas, tariffs, subsidies, insurance and government support is fundamentally misleading.
Canada protects a relatively small number of agricultural sectors openly through supply management. The United States protects agriculture through an enormous, less visible architecture of federal programs and selective trade barriers. Calling one โprotectionismโ while pretending the other is โfree tradeโ is the hypocrisy.
Hope next time you will fact check yourself.
Sincerely
Glen
