So how does this work? Can they come to her home state and take her into custody?

Let's not get too high-and-mighty though.

For just one example, the reason BC's old growth forests are something like 98% gone today is because a bunch of rich old white men sold off most of the forest-bearing land to... themselves and their friends. Canada had (and has) its own oligarch infestation.

Xerox?! In my day we only had those faded-ass mimeographs, stinky sheets of blurry purple letters :P

...and we learned phonics in Canada in the late 70s.

Streisand Effect engage!

Does Canada have any ability to limit power from hydro sources to the US, if we provide such?

We need to go hard against a bully, make it more painful than they expect, in order to force re-negotiations.

Thank you for your support. If you live outside the US/Canada, please urge your local politicians to open negotiations for expanded trade with Canada and Mexico to reduce all of our reliance on the USA until this horrible administration is gone.

I am so glad our government (Canada) hasn't immediately rolled over.

Say what you want about Trudeau, his speech tonight was pretty good and presented a strong response. Kudos to the speech-writers.

I'll live on local food (and cheap rice, beans from non-US sources) as much as possible for as long as it takes. Looking forward to seeking out "Made in Canada" labels while shopping in the months to come.

Perhaps. But as I understand it we have the most water of any nation in the world, so we should be more discriminating in what we let leave the border. Even if it's just a bargaining chip during this tariff war.

The US hasn't technically torn up any treaties, so we don't have to either, let's just "suspend" them. Seems they have no qualms doing so ...

Thanks for the clarification on Nestle!

But yeah... agreed, f them it would be wonderful it they got caught in the splash damage.

This also means Canada should be free of its water transit treaties. Let's divert water from flowing south over the border.

Kick Nestle completely out of the country, too -- no more cheap access to our water.

Start right now on new local beef processing faciliities.

What a bunch of maroons. 99.9% chance someone else mirrored that git repo.

EDIT: And this is yet another reason everyone, everywhere, should immediately mirror any git repo for a project they are even remotely interested in.

github giveth, and github can (and does) taketh away. Say NO to centralized source management platforms -- exactly the antithesis of what git was designed for in the first place!
