The #Canadian government is bombarding #voters in key swing states with anti-trade war #propaganda as President Donald #Trump vows to enact his biggest package of #tariffs yet next month.

Multiple #media outlets are reporting that #Canada is paying for billboards and signs across the United States that bluntly inform Americans that "tariffs are a #tax" on items ranging from gasoline to groceries.

https://www.rawstory.com/trump-trade-war-2671643925/

Please read/share this Macleans article about Jenni Byrne who could be PP's chief of staff if he wins.
She is very much MAGA and a PP gov would likely be very MAGA.
She and PP dated for 10 years so they probably think alike.

IMO if PP wins then #Canada could become a puppet territory of the USA.

She ran PHSH 2015 campaign so we might see some extreme right-wing Con policies soon.

There is an absolutely superb summary produced by Beltran, Davis, & Taylor, of the Russian war against Ukraine, in the New York Times.

It's a long read, unsurprisingly, as it is a long war, but I cannot recommend it strongly enough for those that wish a deeper understanding of the conflict up to the point of Trump's second term.

https://www.nytimes.com/interactive/2025/03/29/world/europe/us-ukraine-military-war-wiesbaden.html

It makes me want to raise funds for attritable air platforms to carry Wide Area Motion Imaging payloads for the Ukranians, so they might (EM spectrum permitting) be assured of what lies in the ground ahead of them, and keep moving swiftly (for to remain still or move slowly in battle - or indeed any conflict - is usually a terrible idea).

I am astonished that attempts to demolish the Kerch Strait bridge were forbidden by the US in 2022, and much later, that ban was lifted. Strategically, I'm gobsmacked at the way both sides prioritise politically desirable targets over winning the conflict definitively. Perhaps I am naive.

I am sad that the most excellent authors of the piece did not point out Ukraine's population demographics (worth looking up to understand why they abhor sending under-25yos to fight).

I am sure others reading this account will view it from a different aspect and be surprised by different things. I'd be curious to know what they are (as well as any hashtags I missed) if anyone cares to post here!

How is this real life?

From childhood dreaming about solar powered cars I fully expected the headline "plug in electric car startup with innovative charging network faltering, soon to be bankrupt and scavanaged for parts by the big 3 auto makers"

But having that slowly coming true while Canadians are, allegedly, burning said companies EVs for, checks notes, supporting the annexation of Canada is absolutely breaking my brain right now.

Reading the details of how and why Tesla is being locked out of current and future Canadian EV tax incentives reveals a possibly jaw dropping attempt by Tesla at fraud.

Canada's iZEV rebate program was winding down unexpectedly early this January. Some how in a 3day span four Tesla dealerships claimed to have sold an astronomical 2 cars every minute, clearing out the remaining rebate funds.

"As governor of the Bank of Canada he was one of the key players in steering the Canadian economy through the 2008 global economic crisis, championing clear communication and predictability."

Twenty Lessons on Fighting Tyranny from the Twentieth Century
Timothy Snyder

1. Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.

2. Defend institutions. It is institutions that help us to preserve decency. They need our help as well. Do not speak of “our institutions” unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions do not protect themselves. So choose an institution you care about and take its side.

3. Beware the one-party state. The parties that remade states and suppressed rivals were not omnipotent from the start. They exploited a historic moment to make political life impossible for their opponents. So support the multi-party system and defend the rules of democratic elections.

4. Take responsibility for the face of the world. The symbols of today enable the reality of tomorrow. Notice the swastikas and other signs of hate. Do not look away, and do not get used to them. Remove them yourself and set an example for others to do so.

5. Remember professional ethics. When political leaders set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become important. It is hard to subvert a rule-of-law state without lawyers, or to hold show trials without judges. Authoritarians need obedient civil servants, and concentration camp directors seek businessmen interested in cheap labor.

6. Be wary of paramilitaries. When the men with guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching around with torches and pictures of a Leader, the end is nigh. When the pro-leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the end has come.

7. Be reflective if you must be armed. If you carry a weapon in public service, God bless you and keep you. But know that evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no.

8. Stand out. Someone has to. It is easy to follow along. It can feel strange to do or say something different. But without that unease, there is no freedom. Remember Rosa Parks. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow.

9. Be kind to our language. Avoid pronouncing the phrases everyone else does. Think up your own way of speaking, even if only to convey that thing you think everyone is saying. Make an effort to separate yourself from the internet. Read books.

10. Believe in truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights.

11. Investigate. Figure things out for yourself. Spend more time with long articles. Subsidize investigative journalism by subscribing to print media. Realize that some of what is on the internet is there to harm you. Learn about sites that investigate propaganda campaigns (some of which come from abroad). Take responsibility for what you communicate to others.

12. Make eye contact and small talk. This is not just polite. It is part of being a citizen and a responsible member of society. It is also a way to stay in touch with your surroundings, break down social barriers, and understand whom you should and should not trust. If we enter a culture of denunciation, you will want to know the psychological landscape of your daily life.

13. Practice corporeal politics. Power wants your body softening in your chair and your emotions dissipating on the screen. Get outside. Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them.

14. Establish a private life. Nastier rulers will use what they know about you to push you around. Scrub your computer of malware. Remember that email is skywriting. Consider using alternative forms of the Internet, or simply using it less. Have personal exchanges in person. For the same reason, resolve any legal trouble.

15. Contribute to good causes. Be active in organizations, political or not, that express your own view of life. Pick a charity or two and set up autopay.

16. Learn from peers in other countries. Keep up your friendships abroad, or make new friends abroad. The present difficulties in the United States are an element of a larger trend. And no country is going to find a solution by itself. Make sure you and your family have passports.

17. Listen for dangerous words. Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.

18. Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. Modern tyranny is terror management. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power. Do not fall for it.

19. Be a patriot. Set a good example of what America means for the generations to come.

20. Be as courageous as you can. If none of us is prepared to die for freedom, then all of us will die under tyranny.

"But Trump’s claim Canada can’t survive without the U.S. is utterly false. We’re the tenth largest economy in the world. (Ed. larger than Russian economy) We have 40 million people: workers, consumers, citizens."

"Indeed, in important ways, we are actually less reliant on foreign trade than commonly assumed."

"Almost 80 per cent of what we produce never crosses a border. Its produced in Canada, by Canadians, for Canadians.'"

#Trump is NOT #PeaceLoving.

His enacted desires for #Canada and #Greenland make this obvious.

His lies about Ukraine, and #Putin still not being pressured to join the ceasfire, just reinforce this.

And his sending weapons to Israel to kill women and children shows that he's a violent, untrustworthy child-killer.

Vance did not visit Greenland.

Because unwelcome.

Vance touched down at a US controlled military base. In the far frozen north, away from towns, not connected by roads.

The base was donated because of friendship, alliance, treaty and NATO, for mutual defence.

Thugs used the honoured friendship base to threaten Greenland.

Thugs.

The stink of Shame like a bad deodorant.

It would stink in every room.

"A Yale professor who studies fascism is leaving the US to work at a Canadian university because of the current US political climate, which he worries is putting the US at risk of becoming a “fascist dictatorship”.

Jason Stanley, who wrote the 2018 book How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them, has accepted a position at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.

Stanley told the Daily Nous, a philosophy profession website, that he made the decision “to raise my kids in a country that is not tilting towards a fascist dictatorship”.

He said in an interview that Columbia University’s recent actions moved him to accept the offer. Last Friday, Columbia gave in to the Trump administration by agreeing to a series of demands in order to restore $400m in federal funding. These changes include crackdowns on protests, increased security power and “internal reviews” of some academic programs, like the Middle Eastern studies department."

I read someone else's post on Mastodon, where they said we should call it for what it is really going to be: an invasion. Annexation implies a legal merging of territory. Is that Trump's plan and are Canadians going to legally concede? Or does he intend to take Canada against our will either by conquering territory or altering our established government? We should be figuring this out asal, and then use the appropriate terminology. #CanadaStrong #Canada
