I think the general consensus of people around the world is that Americans can get fooled by a con man once, but to return him to power a 2nd time after having seen his corruption, incompetence, ignorance, & buffoonery, the problem isn’t just Trump it’s the American people.

"Trump is so world-historically toxic in Canada that he revived a Liberal party that was looking at the sharp end of the Reaper's blade prior to January 2025" is actually an accurate assessment of Canadian politics, shame they can't understand how to apply that to diplomacy.

This isn't the first time the USA has placed 50% tariffs on Canada. In 1890, the USA's Tariff Act was touted as a way to build up American industry, but the true goal was forcing the annexation of Canada. It backfired and made Canada stronger. This is the story. 📸 LoC 🧵1/10

Are the countries claiming that they have a working deal with Trump ready to admit yet that there’s no such thing? No country can have a deal with Trump, because Trump is incapable of sticking to any deal. Suggesting otherwise is make-believe.

Since everyone’s arguing about speed cameras, let’s keep a couple facts in mind: 1) Research show that camera enforcement is much more popular than the media implies – in suburbs as well as cities. Lesson: Don’t conflate a few angry car owners with “public opinion.” (cont'd)
bloomberg.com
Automated Traffic Enforcement Is More Popular Than You Think
Cameras that ticket drivers who run red lights and speed are effective and widely popular with city residents. So why are they banned in so many places?

It’s the kind of ambitious nation-building that actually makes Canada more resilient etc. No surprise, far-right Pierre Poilievre says he’d cancel it, saying it will go over budget. Spoiler—it will. Just like EVERY car highway does. But he likes those.
