I love my northerly neighbors, but I have sensed your frustration with Americans' lack of motivation to oust Trump. Given the massive protests today, do you forgive the "good half" of America?

Okay, so I know PP wanted to shut down the CBC, but his behaviour seems extreme.

A total blackout during an election? That seems extremely weird. It’s even stranger that nobody is really talking about it. It’s also weird that PP has a signature plane.

So, here’s my train of thought. You have to take questions from everyone when you’re the Prime Minister. Even Trudeau took questions from random dudes yelling at him and throwing rocks.

So, Trump didn’t give a shit during his campaign. He road in his big plane with his name on it, and claimed voters didn’t even need to vote because he would win anyway. Well, and he did.

So, what’s happening here?

Edit: Thank you for the replies. I feel a bit better. I just keep thinking what if we had no recourse? I mean Americans protesting what? There’s no laws anymore.

Seeing a bunch of sites claiming to ship real British groceries internationally, but a lot seem sketchy or got mixed reviews. Anyone actually here used UK online supermarkets delivering baby formula, tea or crisps without insane fees? i want something reliable.

FYI. New slogan was “Jail not Bail.”

Hello, I am in Canada on a student visa at the moment, last year my friend and I (also on a student visa) finally got granted our US tourism visas, we were really excited and bought tickets to california to celebrate the end of our term this year. My friend is saying we shouldn’t go now because of everything that is going on but we have a tourist visa and immigration as I understand is in pearson so we should have no issue entering correct? and if we are denied, we will still be in Canada so there is not much of a problem is there?

he has been telling me some things about what is happening, but I don’t think there is much of a risk for us given the circumstances? can anyone help me? I really don’t want to lose the money on the ticket I bought and I was very excited about finally visiting.

I'd love to hear your thoughts (hope I've put this in the right sub)

Edit: I'm not American, just a student studying in BC

We’re hovering at something like 0.70 USD to 1 CAD right now. With the American economy going down, we’re bound to go down along with it.

Do we have a better chance if we align with the EU and adopt the EURO?

Just the tanks trucks and guns alone is impressive, and we did this from practically nothing with a much smaller population then the USA and MORE then replaced the massive equipment losses at Dunkirk.

Trucks, Tanks and Guns

• Britain had entered the war with 80,000 military vehicles of all types; however, 75,000 of these British vehicles were left behind in the evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940. Virtually defenceless on the ground, Britain turned to Canada - and particularly the Canadian auto industry - to replace what had been lost. Canada not only replaced these losses, it did much more.
• Canadian industry produced more than 800,000 military transport vehicles, 50,000 tanks, 40,000 field, naval, and anti-aircraft guns, and 1,700,000 small arms.
• Of the 800,000 military vehicles of all types built in Canada, 168,000 were issued to Canadian Forces. Thirty-eight percent of the total Canadian production went to the British. The remainder of the vehicles went to the other Allies. This meant that the Canadian Army "in the field" had a ratio of one vehicle for every three soldiers, making it the most mechanized field force in the war.
• The Bombardier company of Valcourt, Quebec, built more than 150 military snowmobiles. General Motors developed a frame for another snowmobile, of which 300 were built.
• Canadian Pacific Railway constructed 788 Valentine tanks in its Angus shop in Montreal; its engine was built by General Motors. 5,200 tanks had been built at C.P. Angus and Montreal Locomotive Company shops by the end of the war.
• There were 2,150 twenty-five pounder "Sexton" self-propelled guns were built by Montreal Locomotive Works.
• A heavy utility vehicle body was developed in Canada. Four-thousand such vehicles were manufactured by General Motors in Oshawa. This vehicle body could be mounted on a 4x4 chassis and could, with slight modifications, be used as a personnel carrier, ambulance, light wireless, truck or machinery truck.Trucks, Tanks and Guns Britain had entered the war with 80,000 military vehicles of all types; however, 75,000 of these British vehicles were left behind in the evacuation at Dunkirk in 1940.

I'm from Florida and I have been wondering how the state has been diminished to the degree it has been. Whether it be Fox being ever present, lingers of the confederacy such as the lost cause propoganda, or the extreme gerrymandering done by desantis. As well as many other things.

Do the Premiers of Canada gerrymander the Provinces as much as US governors have in their respecitve states or do the ways in which Canadian elections work, if drastically different, somewhat prevent gerrymandering from being as drastic a problem?

Edit: Sorry for using the wrong position of Government.

Hello, My company has a program that provides English language courses for it's employees. I get a certain amount of money and I can choose any place around the world where English is "commonly used" to go for 2 weeks to improve my language skills. I was thinking of going to the USA, but... I don't anymore. Now I'm really thinking about Canada.

Would you recommend a particular region or city?

I have a plan to take my wife and two daughters (7 and 13) with me at least for a while, but I would have to take 35 hours of classes a week, so it's important that they could see some interesting things when I'm in class.

edit: And, naturally, I'll have a free weekend to do some exploring.

How’s everyone doing with all the “winning” going on? 😬🫨🙄

Keep Calm and Canada On!!🇨🇦🍁🥰

IIRC the surcharge was to be in effect until “all tariffs are removed”.

Then there was a pause until April 2nd for negotiations.

It’s April 4th and the U.S still has active tariffs, including blanket tariffs on imported Canadian products. What’s the latest news?

Pretty much ever since I first watched the movie Hard Core Logo I've been a massive fan of Callum Keith Rennie (fun fact: the band Billy Talent is named after his character in the movie). Since then I'm always happy when he shows up in something...he was my favourite part of Battlestar Galactica. That dude has to be one of Canada's hardest working actors.

Who is your favourite actor from Canada?

I need strong pants, lol. Double front preferable.

I’m sorry if this is biased, but I can remember when the GOP won. I was shocked. I want Canada to move in a different direction. I just feel like this over stimulated guy down south is lacking potential. He seems more like the scorched earth type.

I mean who would want this insanity. I never thought in a million years people would vote for this. So, now I’m anxious how close do you guys think we are?

Edit: Success! I feel a little better. Thank you.

Edit: Is it vote L in you can make a difference.

I’m just wondering, i am a newcomer in canada and i’m going to live here now trying to catch up with Politics here.

The house prices here are insane, a average home, which would cost in Europe $200,000 here costs a million dollars. The house prices here are outrageous. How will a new prime minister fix this? I’m sure part of why a normal house to live in costs $1200 Per person to live in is the face houses are so expensive, and i’m sure the new prime minister cant make the houses go down in value since that would create a even greater economic disaster so what’s the plan for the house crisis?

As resilient as we Canadians are, are you worried about how you're going to be able to continue to afford living as costs will rise and wages won't. Are you worried about your hours being cut at work or even losing your job?

I am going to share one thing to start.

Find opportunities in this stock market and dont trade with money you can't afford to lose.

Most important of all, be kind. Even to Americans. There's no need for blind hatred.
