OT: American Politics

Shit is going to be hard, but something to remember is that the foundation of our economy, and it's main exports to the US are mostly (sorry auto industry...) shit that can be sold literally anywhere else in the world and that placing tariffs on them is just going to re route international trade in those goods.

Here are our top exports:

107B in oil
37B in cars
32B in gold
16B in NatGas
15B in refined petrol products

Think that shit is all staying in the ground because Donnie is making US consumers pay 25% more for it? Fwiw, we import more automotive stuff than we export, though I don't expect reciprocal tariffs on automotive products.

All these statements in defense of Wayne from Bobby and Wayne’s wife…have either of them said a single peep in public in defense of Canadian sovereignty?

They think they should be allowed to openly support and pal around with a fascist who’s endlessly stated that he wants to erase Canada’s sovereignty & nationhood, and devastate its economy if Canada doesn’t surrender willingly.

While at the same time they think they deserve to continue to be venerated as beloved Canadian icons and face zero backlash or criticism for that political and moral choice.

I swear, these fucking MAGA pieces of shit. Entirely allergic to the concept of having to face any consequences for your actions or moral choices.

It's obviously been lost in this flurry of bullshit. But "DEI" if implemented properly makes organizations better and more durable. Different types of people from different backgrounds, with varied value sets all look at problems differently. What's the solution to the old "every problem looks like a nail to a hammer" problem? Put different types of tools in your pouch. That's exactly what "DEI" does. It creates a more durable and diverse company culture that can solve a wider set of problems more efficiently.

The quislings are defending each other. No surprise at all, but they can fuck off. It's not convincing or fooling anyone.
 
Also—why should any Canadian give two shits about what Janet Gretzky thinks? And how she thinks Canadians should feel?

A born and raised American, and about two seconds after she married Wayne, they moved South of the border, and haven’t looked back for the past 35+ years.

Sucking Wayne’s dick and raising his American kids gives you no standings to preach to Canadians, you fucking cunt.

Seems like this one should find its way to her comment section.

as usual we've let conservatives make it a DEI vs Merit argument which is the of course the opposite of the truth.

DEI is in place precisely to make hirings MORE merit-based, not less. The system of connections and friendly hires and biased exclusions was nowhere near optimal merit-based hiring, and DEI was instituted to increase meritocracy, not inhibit it. Many corporations obviously realize this and have seen the benefits of it in real life - the improved meritocracy thanks to DEI has improved their bottom line.

This isn't to say DEI implementation has been perfect and hasn't been abused in its own way, but just to point out that once again we've allowed the debate to turn into an unwinnable - because literally EVERYONE wants a meritocracy. The argument is how to attain the best meritocracy.

but as usual our side doesn't even realize what the debate has become, so now any pro-DEI argument is dismissed as woke soft nonsense that's against plain common sense reality and fairness.

Yeah, it is honestly a little surprising, right?

Only thing I can figure is that, while the likes of Orr & Gretzky don’t think much about or care about Canada, a bunch of their own self-worth must be tied up in the fact that, at any time they felt like it, they could go back to the provincial backwater they left behind and soak up some sweet sweet hero worship and adulation.

So having that yanked away has kicked off the pisspants crybaby meltdown we’re currently seeing.

Yes, the "Different types of people from different backgrounds" thing is huge.

BLC has been a really different experience for me bc it certainly isn't LA, NYC, SF, Paris, or London. However, the arts and lit bunch I run with are passionate about supporting and encouraging talents and diversity. Been a refreshing drink of water here in the High Desert.
 
Can’t imagine how thrilled Canadians will be when a Russian affiliated with Putin is going to beat MAGA Gretzky’s goal scoring record?

The worst timeline…

Why couldn’t it be Teemu or Jagr?

Gretzky is too chicken shit to put on the big boy pants and stand up for himself. If I was on Team Canada, and he gave me one of those "be great" red hats, We would have had an on camera discussion.
 
Yeah I forgot about the big red "be great" hats he gave out.

Between that dog whistle and his wife continually capitalizing the letter "P" in Proud in his post...and of course the whole bit about having his nose up Trump's ass, we know exactly what he is. Let him cry about us not liking it and his little movement. Get fucked.
