@MackerelGroyper @HockleyTyson Of course it is. Hate is intense hostility and aversion, extreme dislike or disgust. How is it not hateful to support the murderer of millions of people based on their membership in a group and then lie about it? Or to openly advocate for the oppression of others today.

@Hitchslap1 It's human QE, an easy way to get rich if you already own assets.

If I have 5 rental units in a community of a thousand people and I get 500 more people to move there, I just made myself fabulously wealthy by having everyone bid up the price.

@Momonamission78 @WarMonitor3 I think in this instance people know and accept the consequences. There are economic consequences too. They're not gonna have the highest possible GDP either. But I think many working class and middle class people view labor scarcity as a good thing for them personally.

@GOuellette53729 @DSadh89381 @ronmortgageguy We absolutely do. A 30% export tax on oil and fertiliser would do wonders in getting this resolved. Go to the aluminum companies and help subsidise shipping to new markets, they get most of theirs from us and don't produce it themselves.

@DeItaone Total humiliation, day in and day out. Iran obviously doesn't care about anything you have to say. They've been dragging this out for months.

@KobeissiLetter This is crazy! Its all based on lies that never materialize.

@Tablesalt13 Cereal is where I notice the price hikes. But to say it's like 2022 again is a little exaggerated. I also shop at stores like NoFrills, Freshco, Walmart etc.

Perhaps people are reacting to what they see with their own eyes? This is the same country that:
-Threatens to steal Greenland
-Wants to "own" Gaza
-Did a coup in Venezuela
-Is embargoing Cuba
-Threatened war with Mexico
-Already bombed Iran, Yemen and Somalia
-Started a trade war with the entire world
AND wants to annex Canada, where you live right now.

@TonyConner14066 @Tablesalt13 The CPTPP countries and the EU are a good start. SK is interested in expanding their footprint in Canada with some pretty lucrative investments.

@slob924 @Tablesalt13 Geographically, trade with the US is always going to be easiest. It's not like going to zero. But given that we don't have any guarantees that people like this won't be in charge in the future, rapid diversification is necessary.

[james @tr_3529]

@Tablesalt13 It's not worth anything! Do you remember the deal he made with the UK and Europe? After which he threatened tariffs if they didn't agree to him stealing Greenland. This will come back with every new disagreement. The future of stable trading relationships is elsewhere.

@BetterDwelling If I knew nothing about this and had to guess the number myself, I would have come up with something much higher than 0.25%. That's nothing. Even in difficult economic times, Canadians prioritise the mortgage payment above all else.

[james @tr_3529]

@themojomindset @unusual_whales The 99% can't get "left behind" without creating the conditions for social collapse. Being early now only means navigating the transition better. Fixing the monetary order is about relieving debt loads that can't be repaid as much as it is about reducing inequality.

@SteveSaretsky If you're a buyer, this is the time to come in with an absolutely offensive offer if your intention is to live in it. Bid like 200K under asking on a ton of them and give no room for negotiation. Someone out there is desperate enough to get rid of it.

[james @tr_3529]

@IceCapGlobal We never used the rationale of an 'emergency' to implement our tariffs. It was a response to their tariffs. Inter-prov. trade barriers are lawful but unjustified and we are getting rid of them. I don't think anyone is justifying EU tariffs on US goods. But that's their problem.
