since like 70% of politicians have investment houses
and thats just the ones who report it and don't do some shell game shit
I think immigration is easier to fix if we just make it prohibitively hard for the people who came on loopholes to work during their stay (they originally were, this was relaxed because the government is greedy and companies wanted cheap labour)
if the "students" cannot work a full time job, a lot of them will have no choice but to leave instead of "study"
If they leave, this will cause a cooling on the housing market presumably, at least for apartment rentals I think
I do not trust any party of my government to do this though, because again, they are evil
yep, though I do think it's fixible once the will is there
yeah I am curious to see what happens post this election
@mint
I cropped out the gay sex pic
was a very funny retweet
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak It is literally just
- Cons did not come out hard about the 51st state thing and people view them as weak when dealing with trump
- Libs got rid of Trudeau
I love watching J.J.McCollough (semi popular conservative canadian journalist) malding whenever Carney says something anti Trump/anti America and being like “no that’s not good don’t say that 😠” conservatives are dropping the ball on this free pass to win easy votes
They don't even have to say "we hate Trump". Literally just come out and say "the 51st state comments are unacceptable, and we will fight for the best interest of Canadians" or a similar platitude without specifically stating how
and they'd be better off
It won't happen, and stats show the majority of Canadians know its not a real threat, but it is annoying
in a sense that most Canadians do not want to be belittled by our "ally"
I think that is the main takeaway, that being treated like shit for no particular reason makes a country rally around not liking the country treating them like shit

Yerp. It pisses me off too even though I know it’s all talk. Although admittedly I do sometimes feel like this image
It does not piss me off in the sense that "I am actively mad", but I am naturally a very petty person so it does make me support whatever petty action the Canadian government can do
which is why I wanted them to just hard cut the power to northern US states who used Canadian power during winter
And other petty actions
Dude, Ford is the case study for how the federal cons fucked up
he hard swung pro Canada, and he is doing well again
the US isn't above petty actions

I think most countries will take petty snipes here and there
especially if you can get away with it
Well, or tank all international trade for a bit
if you are the top 1st world country
lmao
Look, I am fully in favour of every single country moving to minimize how much they trade with US in response to this, even if it hurts them
I think any pain the US feels is deserved and funny, and any pain I feel is undeserved but also funny
Gura retiring because of the US markets
She saw all the red, and we know how sharks react when they see red (I have no idea what I mean by this)
Replying to legorhin #jazardly its because the market is all vibes and no basis
Well it’s pretty hilarious that the market rallied upon the announcement that Trump, while still tariffing the world 10%, would double the tariff on the country that supplies 16%~ percent of the US imports
You were not in VC when Regi was talking about this loveland, but his take is things are fucked. He essentially is an exporter at this point and he's noticed that people buying things is way down
if I am recalling what he said
(he is not actually an exporter)
Reseller? Idk what the correct term for regi is
He said that too, for places like india or whatever iirc
He, like Nintendo, show move all factories to the US right now

Really really bad idea
