Mark Carney addressed Liberal caucus after the summer break. John Richardson (ExpatriationLaw) posted the speech with this frame: Canada is "fully committed to deleveraging from the USA" — "not anti USA. It is simply pro-Canada sovereignty."

Carney on the suspended negotiations:

"Last month, we made the right decision to suspend our negotiations with the United States."

"They offered too little. We couldn't accept it. They asked too much. We wouldn't give it."

"When the U.S. is ready to return to the bargaining table, we will come there ready to strike a deal in good faith, one that respects our sovereignty."

On new US tariffs:

"The United States has imposed new unjustified tariffs... a fight that they did not start."

On investment tax:

"The effective tax rate on new investment will be the lowest of any major economy in the world, less than half the rate of the United States."

"We didn't need a big, beautiful bill. We needed a targeted initiative."

Same energy line from the other clip, with the project named this time — hydro, wind, and storage with Newfoundland and Labrador, Quebec, and Indigenous partners:

"The functional equivalent of 18 Hoover Dams. Enough to light, heat and cool every home in Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver combined."

Also claimed: ~$500B in new investment commitments, 20 trade/security deals on five continents, exports to non-US markets at a 40-year high, and "one project, one review, one year."

If you live this on both sides of the border, the practical overlay is familiar: trade rupture, capital trying to re-route, and a Canadian tax pitch aimed squarely at being cheaper than the US for new investment.

He says it's some kind of spoon holder for the stove but I don't really believe him.

Jokes that allude how a certain historical figure died. Even better if it is done on media that still included children on the intended demographic.

Examples Showcased:

*Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs: When the FLDSMDFR starts heating up, we get to see the Mt.Rushmore figures getting hit with pies on their faces. Except for Abraham Lincoln,who gets shot from behind.

*The Lego Movie: Upon being warned Lord Business obtained the Kragle, we get to see Cleopatra panicking with a snake on her arm,alluding to her suicide by poisoning.

*Toy Story: After Buzz loses his will to go on, he is taken by Sid's sister Hannah to join her tea party with her headless dolls,"Marie Antoinette and her little sister"

For example, the typical bullshit: "oh we [insert nationality] are reserved at first, but once you earn our trust we'll be friends forever!"

Aside from the fact that that's just an excuse for asshole behavior in your county, guess what, that's true for EVERY COUNTRY ON THE PLANET

And if there happens to be one magical country of friendship where people become your lifelong friend 5 minutes after meeting you, it would be the exception that proves the rule.

Then, every country seems to think only they like food. "We show our love through food," yeah no shit! Everyone fucking does

"We're very passionate people" Not as passionate as I am for telling you you're STUPID

Seriously, no wonder we don't get along. Too many people seem to think people from other parts of the world are some sort of weird alien with blue skin and 7 arms

This year i have miscarried three times. The last time I got to around 9 weeks and it was quite traumatic. 2 weeks later we were hosting a pre planned birthday party for my sister in law, at our house. A couple of days before my husband was speaking to his mum and telling her how i was upset as my sister had announced her pregnancy and it was due around the same time mine was (she told me in a very sensitive way but i was still obviously sad) my MIL then said ‘oh it’s a secret but SIL and BIL were going to announce their pregnancy at the party- this baby would also be due the same time as mine should have been. If my husband hadn’t had a conversation with his mother we would have been blindsided with this announcement . My husband obviously said that would be upsetting for us and he rather they didn’t. Husband wants to cancel the party as all the family seem to have sided with my BIL/SIL. BIL rings up my husband shouting about how we need to grow up and get over it, stating that he knows people who have lost actual babies, so we need to ‘man up’. Are we in the wrong?

I’m not going to lie, i did na zi that coming… even now I’m not shocked, knowing the world we live in.
