Canadians have always traveled to the USA to to a bit of sneaky bargain hunting. I wouldn’t be surprised to see this start going the other way.

Polls are showing that Nigel Farage’s far-right Reform party may win a majority government at the next election with as little as 28% of the vote. The UK can still come back and prove itself extremely stupid.

Surely cranking up the tariffs some more will do it.

104% tariff on goods from China. Will American tech shops even survive this?

When the UK had a Prime Minister stupid enough to tank the economy like this, she was gone before you could eat a lettuce. But she only hurt her own country’s economy, while Trump is doing worldwide damage. The USA needs to step up and get rid of this hopeless leader.

I wish journalists would stop using X when there are perfectly viable non-Nazi alternatives.

There’s a photo of the sign near the end of the article. It’s not yellow but it has yellow writing.

There are physical data centres that are not trivial to build and run. As I understand it, these tend to be run by the big US tech companies. So if you switch to EU service companies that are still using AWS, Google Cloud or Azure backends, you haven’t really switched away from US tech companies.

Since Trump’s idea of energy is coal, quite possibly. Brought to you on a coal-powered steamboat.

Pierre Poilievre, fighting hard to prove he is the most pro-genocide candidate.

Yes. This business shows that not only does Trump not understand tariffs or trade or economics, he doesn’t even grasp the basic purpose of money.

So RFK’s stance about not being antivax but wanting more transparency and information about vaccine safety was a lie after all. As soon as an expert engaged with him in a good faith attempt to meet these demands and give RFK all the information he said he wanted, he hid in his office while sending his goons to fire the guy. Clearly he was pissed that someone had called his bluff.

Yes, Americans have somehow come to believe that, among the things the USSR did, providing housing and education to ordinary people is bad, while disappearing people based on their political opinions to be killed or worked to death in gulags is good.

Line must go down.

But US industries will surely appear by magic, immediately and without any prior planning, to fill the gaps. All the government needs to do is make it incredibly painful for anyone to do business with anyone.

If they still want him as leader they’ll just arrange for him to have a seat in some safer riding.

Enola still sounds a bit woman-y. Maybe replace it with something manly like Donald.

He’s evidently working to destroy the USA and its alliances, which serves Russia’s interests. But it’s hard to know whether he’s doing so deliberately or unwittingly.

Oh, he’s getting people killed. Again.

They’re contrarians and conspiracists. They will go with whatever the established authorities recommend against.
