The most common method is to declare yourself president for life.

 

Heard Island and McDonald Island, two Antarctic outposts, are on the list of places that Trump is putting tariffs on. No human has even visited the islands in a decade. There are only penguins and elephant seals.

 

Russia was not included in the countries hit by Trump's tariff. The press secretary say it's because previous sanction "preclude any meaningful trade," but other countries that do even less trade, such as Syria, were on the list.

Another interesting thing I noticed is that when traveling Americans are asked where they're from, they'll say their state rather than their country. I wonder why.

I wonder if they could refuse to put tariffs on. Not that it would make much difference. They're a small market. It would be more than just words on a paper.

Yeah. I found that weird. I was there for a month last year. They seem to hold no animosity for the atomic bombs. Vietnam keeps the war memory fresh and many times, we made sure people knew we were Canadian because they do not like Americans.

Too bad. We could use a competitor to Tesla.

 

I see that Canada's EV car, the Arrow 2.0 is showing at a global trade fair in Germany. The prototype has been around for a couple of years. Is it any closer to the production phase?

 

We just got back from 7 weeks in Europe and I was really sorry we hadn't put on any Canadian tags on our backpacks or clothes. People (Canadians included) are hesitant to talk to you and they treat you with caution or hostility until they find out you're Canadian.

That's all the reason Trump would need to invade Canada.

It's so weird. They trash talk Quebec all the time and yet they want to be like them.

Why are libraries selling books? Is it possible somebody mistranslated the word librairie (meaning bookstore in French) as library?

 

Greetings. I saw this on a post on Reddit and decided to give it a try. Northern Ontarian who is into photography, writing, traveling, spending time at camp, biking, skate skiing, guitar, carpentry, and gardening.
One question: Are there any unspoken rules about posting/responding on Lemmy?
