  1. Intrigued by workmen doing work things along the sidewalk of our street frontage, I went outside to see (they're laying neighborhood fibre).

    My several decades older neighbour was also out there. Nodding towards the (entirely non-caucasian) work crew out of earshot, he says "Couldn't they find any real #Canadians to do this work?"

    "They ARE #Canadian Dave... this is what #Canada looks like now." (unsaid: you racist asshat)

    "No, I mean they're so young. Surely there's a bunch of unemployed guys your age (meaning: white) who would love to do it."

    "First off no, Dave. No GenXer is going to work a 12 hr day in 27°+ heat for less than an unrealistic $60/hr. And in any case, fuck your assumption. You were born in Poland, your parents fled from the PZPR in '47. I bet every one of those dudes are 2nd/3rd generation Canadians. More Canadian than you, Dave."

    "Harumph"

    Needless to say, Dave and I are not friends. Pretty sure he votes #Conservative. Time to break out the #pride flag again.

  2. As a new round of punishing new #tariffs on #Canada looms, a #Legerpoll suggests more than HALF of #Canadians want the federal government to take a HARD LOOKline and make no more concessions with the #UnitedStates. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

    Ottawa should be tougher in U....

  3. “It seems like #American #firms do not just want #Canadians as customers; they want #businesses, #governments, and individuals to be totally reliant on the American #technology #stack, without any other options for #cloud services, #paymentsystems, #AI models and more.”

  4. #Trump repeatedly called #Canadians #nasty in a speech in Las Vegas on Wednesday after claiming that #Canada & other countries had long been unfairly using #tariffs against the #US.

    “Canada’s nasty. They are. They’re nasty,” Trump said. “I love the people, but they’re nasty. Nasty leadership.”
