Make sure the Chinese pay out in USD. Don't let them short change you by $300k. That reward is almost enough to buy a shack in British Columbia.
Lmao, back in 2012 before the jeetening of Canada, the CAD and USD had a near equal exchange rate.

That’s 100% correct. Modern AI was invented by Geoffrey Hinton at the University of Toronto.
He headed up Google’s AI research division for years and many members of his research group got similar roles at other companies, like Yann LeCun did at Facebook and Ilya Sutskever did at OpenAI.
Canada unironically was the world leader in AI, but they were unable to commercialize it, so all of the Canadian AI experts left for American companies.

Invented with Google since nothing and no-one in Canada had the resources and still doesn't.
And I'm pretty sure there were others involved.
Even if that account was fully accurate, it would mean Canada is the dumbest country full of the dumbest motherfuckers ever.

My prediction came earlier than expected. It hasn't even been 24 hours and Canuck government is already buckbroken.

If I were Trump I'd tell our government to get fucked and demand more. Like, you cunts could have had a perfectly fine deal if you hadn't just spent months fucking around, but you did, and now you want everything to go back to how it should have been before all of this? No, eat shit. People like the politicians in this country need to be slapped around to remind them not to act out again.

"We'll drop our retaliatory tariffs if you drop the tariffs we retaliated to in the first place."
That's not even remotely an attempt at negotiation. It's like Zelensky promising to end his war if he gets the thing (NATO membership) that caused Russia to invade.
No, Canada should be making efforts to raid drug traffickers and beef up border security like Blumpf said before this started.

Now I'm just a simply country giant robot pilot from Jersey, but I don't think I understand this whole "milk quota" business.
So far as I understand it, it goes something like this. The Canadian government offers subsidies relating to milk production for the purposes of internal food security. Fair enough. Some of these farms produced too much, which is a bad thing because it would crash prices and put them out of business. So they threw it out.
My question is, what bad things would happen if instead of throwing it out, they either:
A. Exported it, OR
B. Gave it to food banks or something (short shelf life, but still)

An important concept is the national idea or philosophy that defines a nation. Does Canada even have one?

Trump: Reinforce your border or I'll tariff you.
Canada: No. We refuse to protect our own borders and we'll tariff you back.
Trump: Okay. We'll do the same then.
Canada: Now that you've witnessed the mighty power of our (pitiful) tariffs, can you please remove those tariffs even though we've done absolutely nothing productive on our end?
Trump should say no. He asked them to reinforce their own border and they refused.
The negotiation should have gone like this:
Trump: Reinforce your border or I'll tariff you.
Canada: Sure, as long as you do the same on your end (since there are apparently guns coming from the US to Canada).
Trump likely would have agreed (since beefing up borders is a good thing for both sides). No tariffs. No arguments. Negotiating for both sides is what political leaders are supposed to do. Getting all huffy and prideful over basic requests is something a baby does, not a leader.

Trump should demand more for them pretending they could puff their chest out and have them bow like the worms they are.

Peace, Order, and Good Government are in the founding documents of the nation (the BNAA)
which is a contrast to Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Good Government.
How is that all going now? Not that well on the 'order' and good government.
Consider Canada to be a more sobered, arguably conservative version of America- or thats how it started anyways. A more British America, I guess

Canada uses milk quotas like US uses farm subsidies.
Instead of stroking a check to the farmer to not farm (USA) they use quotas to restrict supply and artificially increase dairy prices in Canada.
Somehow the dairy cartel has become more politically powerful than every other industry in the country. The consumer pays outrageous prices, its $9+ CAD for a pound of butter, $7 for a gallon of milk.
In USA it’s laundered through the taxpayer so consumers don’t directly pay that subsidy.

10% on all imports from Canada.
25% on automotive/steel/aluminium.
That's it. That's the news.
Ontario is done.

"Fuck America" is all we have.
Canadian boomers, Gen X and some millenials would rather turn into China/India than play nice with America, such is our spite.

Sort of. It's not a monetary subsidy. The government sells permits to farms that say "hey man, you're allowed to produce 1 million liters of milk this year" or whatever number. There's a limited number of these permits available, which restricts supply and prevents the market from being oversaturated. If you produce more than your quota, you can't just stop milking the cows because that's not how a cow works. But that milk you get has to be dumped.
Stellar question. I really don't know why this isn't an option. IIRC there's some sort of restriction on exports resulting from NAFTA that generally make it economically unfeasible to export dairy, but I don't know the specifics. Giving it to food banks would also be a great idea, but we just... don't, I guess.
The supply management system is far from perfect and there's definitely kinks like these that need to be ironed out, but I do still generally prefer it over direct subsidization of the dairy industry.

Canada is a joke masquerading as a real country. Just look at Quebec, they actually believe their French despite not actually being from France.
