The whole reason this man was appointed was to be a constant diversion from the other mayhem being caused.

The right-wing tactic of dismantling a program or getting a discount by offering lump sum cash up front, instead of better value in programs and services.

They prey on desperate, uneducated people who see the money in front of them.

Scary, he even admits he is going to manufacture a crisis like the Trump administration to give him temporary power to push through policy that would otherwise get deafeated in court by local First Nations .

He isn’t even hiding the maga-style tactics. PP is an enemy of Canada at this point.

“By declaring a Canadian energy crisis and key projects in the “national interest,” the federal government will be able to use all its available emergency powers to ensure that the dramatic regulatory restructuring required to expand the oil and natural gas sector is rapidly achieved.”

Give me a 20k(CAD) EV that I can run around town in with 400km of range or so and I’ll be happy as a Clam. Instead they want 45k for the cheapest EVs, no thanks.

AI is wrong so often this is extremely scary.

They can also do evil things and “blame” it on AI.

It’s way too big for kids too.

The mask is off now.

Do it! Canada will come play too.

We just call it bullying.

JD Vance is posting on Lemmy early today 😂

I believe this is how we can cripple the US.

I just switched my services over and there are some great alternatives, we have just been pre-programmed to use the American default brands.

Adobe, Microsoft, Apple, Google, Amazon all easy to replace.

The only challenging one so far is YouTube, content is just lacking elsewhere, but atleast with adblockers YouTube isn’t getting my money.

Transfer more wealth to the elites, as well as grow their specific crypto projects. Tariffs will hurt the person who lives paycheque to paycheque significantly worse.

If everyone in the low, middle and upper class go broke the companies and business collapse and all assets become cheap, factories close down. All the rich folks who didn’t get too affected by tarrifs and were able to maintain their wealth can swoop in and buy up literally everything.

This will be the largest wealth transfer in America history.

The Republicans going along with it are interested in wealth and power for themselves, they will be fine, and handsomely rewarded, but their supports won’t.

Yeah, they aren’t reciprocal when you are throwing the first punch, not to mention there doesnt seem to be any strategy.

Yet none to Russia, curious?

An explanation implies some thought was put in to these tariffs, but instead it was just based on Trump’s emotions that day.

So much for the commonwealth standing strong, thats what bullies do though, try and break the weak one by one.

This was such a favorable deal for Russia thst if they did infact want peace it would have been an easy decision.

But they want to conquer Europe, so this doesn’t work.

Well this is terrifying.

They are on high alert for Pete Hesgeth message.

This might have the opposite effect he wants, xAI investors no longer have a clean AI investment and are now linked to a failing social media platform.

xAI is already losing bigtime vs other AI companies, this just makes it even less attractive.
