He's a banker, he has always BEEN a banker, what the hell did people expect?

tRump is just a symptom. The USA is and always has been an oligarchy, founded on genocide and grown through slavery, patriarchy and misogyny. The original constitution gave ALL political power to Rich White Males and only superficial changes have been made over the last 250 years, the real power still remains with the oligarchs. tRump has just dropped the mask for the world to see what a fascist shit-stain of a country the U.S. really is at its core. The world (and Canada) will be extremely unwise to ever trust them again no matter which faction of the oligarchy is in power.

It is time for Canada to stop blocking affordable EVs, and the most affordable are Chinese EVs. As long as Canada's transportation infrastructure forces dependence on personal vehicles (except in major urban centers) alternatives to burning fossil fuels must be encouraged, not blocked.

Nothing shows true commitment to fighting climate change/global warming like blocking affordable electric vehicles and the solar panels to charge them, while giving billions to oil companies for more pipelines and sending the RCMP to terrorize land and water defenders.

The oligarchs are incinerating the planet for greed and Canada is complicit.

Also this is the second time Trump has been elected. Whatever excuses people have, I can’t look at this as a one off or crazy event. I have to see this as the future of American diplomacy and how we can expect to be treated.

tRump is not an aberration, the world is now seeing the USA with the mask dropped. Oligarchy is baked into the U.S. constitution, rich white males have ALWAYS held the power there, despite all the window dressing and PR campaigns. The county was founded on genocide, built on slavery and imperialism, they burned women at the stake for fuck's sake. The slogan "Kill a Commie for Christ" is not just a bumper sticker for half of them, but a bucket list item.

This is the correct take. Anyone who paid the least amount of attention to Snowden's revelations know that the USA harvests absolutely everything online. Americans have more to fear from their info being misused by their own government and the corporations that own it than by the Chinese. The push to ban TikTok is just an attempt to cut out the spying competition. And jingoistic Sinophobia.

Sounds like its time for a class action fraud suite.

Nothing shows true commitment to fighting climate change like blocking sales of EVs.

What's the price for a livable planet?

It is not May yet, the boycott has not started.

I plan on going in on that day with pockets stuffed with random wrapping paper and other non-grocery things from home, and sue them for harassment if they try to search me.

VPN and torrents will get you anything you want.
