When I watched this video, I couldn't help but think about the woman I wrote about yesterday. According to her, we are such a small market that anything we do to retaliate in this current conflict with the U.S. has no impact.
She couldn't be more wrong:
The video also amply demonstrates how many regular people are negatively affected by Trump's tariff madness. I guess he would regard them only as collateral damage in a battle for a greater good. I'll leave readers to figure out what that greater good could be.
UPDATE: Charlie Angus has emerged as a very, very strong voice for Canada as it battles the madness seizing the U.S. If you have time, please consider watching this video in which he warns us against travelling to that benighted country:
But for all the complaints from the US, I still don't get the impression that Americans are trying to do something about it.
ReplyDeleteAt least AOC and Bernie are fighting back, and attracting thousands to rallys - but it still reminds me of 2002, when thousands of Americans protested the Iraq War but the media ignored them and Bush went anyway.
It is almost as if dissent is becoming irrelevant in the eyes of the Trump regime, Cathie, which raises the troubling spectre of what their end goal is.

Thanks, Anon. It is an excellent article and reinforces my conviction that the U.S. has descended into fascism. Every night i watch a half-hour of American news, and I, too, am struck by the media normalization of Trump that is taking place. I shall send Macfarlane's article to some of my friends.

ReplyDeleteOTOH, when Canada is acquired, they will designate Puerto Rica status.

No doubt we would have 'special status' so as not to influence the American madness, NPoV.
