idk how I missed the most quebec thing. pika I assume you have heard of the bill 96 fiasco. how quebec is killing itself by banning products that don't have x amount of french on the packaging

suddenly ya got stores where their entire inventory is illegal

No, I have not see it, but thats funny

All Canadian products already have full french and English

by law

sounds like it was passed in 2022 but went into effect June 1 2025

yeah but any import is required to have french just as predominantly displayed as any other language

and it applies to stock already in the province

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Why has the New York mayor thing become national news?

people seem absolutely obsessed with it

marveling at how stupid NYC is

I was literally JUST reading about it too

whichever side loses, the cope afterwards is going to be something to behold

It feels a lot like Bernie v Hillary

Rubio denaturalizing and deporting the insane open communist would be funny

I saw some communist party twitter account all ecstatic because they had more than 100 party registrations (nationwide) in a day

which had never happened before

in more interesting news, some of Trump's birthrite citizenship changes are being upheld by the SCOTUS

I feel that to actually correct birthright citizenship to what it was intended to be, you would have to clarify the language of the 14th amendment

which would be a high bar

no idea what the context of the current court cases are

I have no idea what the SCOTUS stuff is either because all I have seen is a screenshot of a headline

I'm sure there's more nuance

but it seems like the decision is that federal judges cannot keep playing God

Republicans are only upset about this specific brown liberal candidate because he said he wouldn’t visit Israel

I've mostly been seeing the socialism and horrible economic takes actually

He said they were going to raise minimum wage to 30 and have government owned stores

(lol)

Omg in New York? No!!!

I mean, i'm just saying its not always all about israel...

“You’re too stupid to respond to” basically

canadian trade war resurges

Is trump being a dipshit for no reason again?

Its not hit my newfeed

its retaliatory

I mean, based if its true

countries being petty to the US is funny and deserved

Apparently this was not something that is in response to trump, they was already something first proposed in 2019 but delayed a couple years, and it is set to collect the tax this year for the first time

And is not just against the US, its all companies

Ok but fuck you snow Mexicans

Pay your tax jew

Hey leave that poor defenseless israeli alone

I like that the market has reverse reactions to tariffs now

went WAY up after the Canada news

pricing in they think Canada will fold

The government owned grocery stores are interesting and probably not gonna work, but I think what people are most excited about with Zohran (or at least those that I've seen talk about him) is that he's 33 years old and hopefully there's a gonna be a push for younger politicians. A lot of my friends are less interested in what he's gonna do and more hopeful on what could happen in the future

I saw the canadian dollar fell but not anything else

Its already back up

but yeah it fell 1 cent

Actually what the fuck

we are way up

when did we get back up to 73 cents on the US dollar

We were at sub 70 for a while

looks like it went up a week ago

I don't think you've been below 70 in a long time

unless there was a very short dip

Shows how little I pay attention to the value compared to the US dollar lmao

I just assumed we were still at .69

That was about 3-6 months ago

ok yeah, I looked it up, it hit .69 a couple times this year, but tends to stick in the mid 70s

We are roughly where we were a year ago, there was a big dip and then a rise again

I feel like everyone is still waiting for a global recession to start

it's kind of weird

Dude, the US is the most stable country in the world

No change

USDC core

the petro dollar

I wonder what dumb thing will be the trigger for a recession
