🌈🇨🇦 - simplistic analysis is all that can be done in 300 characters, so if you don’t think my post has a fully developed argument, you are correct.

Trump is basing his trade policies on whims and delusions of grandeur. The US is significantly weakened under him, while Canada is growing.

Let’s go, Canucks! 💪🇨🇦

Maybe we just can’t afford AI as a society 🤔 electricity and water depletion, no new jobs created, people fired en masse…who cares what it may save companies (debatable), the ROI just isn’t there for society at large.

Climate denial is out of touch with reality. You trust science for vaccines, surgery, and your smartphone,but deny climate science? Stop cherry-picking. Time to reject the lies and stand for our planet’s future. Like + RT to spread truth. #ClimateCrisis

Exactly. Trump knows that discovery would expose his lies…totally sus that the most litigious man on the planet doesn’t sue for defamation, he sues everyone else.

Being Liberal ®🗽🏳️‍🌈@beingliberal.bsky.social

Trump sues everybody over everything, comedians, critics, networks, anyone who bruises his ego. But notice who he never seems eager to sue: the women accusing him, or the people saying far worse things about him. IMO, he knows he would not survive discovery.

Exactly, and the US taxes aren’t actually lower when you factor in their healthcare premiums. Low taxes are only good until you need something from society…you get sick, your roads are falling apart, you don’t have air traffic controllers, your kids can’t get a good education, etc.

Kelly@broadwaybabyto.bsky.social

Average healthcare costs in the US: Giving birth? $18,000 Cancer treatment? $150,000 One month ICU stay? Between 30k and 150k. That’s not including copays, deductibles, interest and all the other hoops you have to jump through. Cost in Canada? $0. Cost in the UK? $0. Cost in Australia? $0.

Exactly. They are not trustworthy…you cannot sell everyone out for a “maybe”, especially from habitual liars.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

Democrats are so amateurish and naive to act on a promise of behavior in the future by people who shamelessly lie about their behavior in the past every single day.

This is EXACTLY what they should do to shut down this third term b.s.

Asha Rangappa@asharangappa.bsky.social

Honestly at some point you have to start doing psyops with these people: Have Obama announce that he will seek a third term tomorrow. Then watch all the con law “scholars” and Fix News MELT DOWN trying to explain why he can’t but Trump can. (It’s like Newsom taking over his social media persona)

It’s far past time. Healthcare should be accessible for all…if your taxes don’t go to helping you and your family live healthy lives, what on earth are they for? Oh ya…bailing out other countries while Americans scrape together an existence. Socialism means a society who takes care of its citizens.

Scott Galloway@profgalloway.com

It’s time for nationalized medicine in the U.S.

The GOP are so dumb. It’s very easy to see who pays the tariff, the importer. They’ve taken $106B from US companies who in turn raise prices for US purchasers. No foreigner pays the US tariff. A US company I work with paid $60M in tariffs this qtr, and they expect to pay $100M next qtr.

Exactly. This is a uniquely American problem that no other wealthy nation experiences. The US is not great, hasn’t been for a long time, but can be if they adopt policies that support their people.

Mrs. Betty Bowers@mrsbettybowers.bsky.social

Medical debt or bankruptcy isn’t a sign of personal irresponsibility, it’s a sign of a country’s irresponsibility.

The brain drain will take decades to recover, mostly because trust is broken - no one believes the US is capable of doing the right thing any longer.

Eric Swalwell@ericswalwell.bsky.social

If Trump keeps firing America’s top scientists, other countries will hire them—and we’ll be the ones paying the price.

Yep. The math shows that US people pay less tax but much more in all the other expenses like healthcare. I pay tax in Canada, highest tax bracket, and nothing on top of that…my total tax is less than US taxes + extras/healthcare. This idea that lower taxes equals a better country is complete bunk.

Bull Moose Party@bullmooseparty-bmp.bsky.social

Exactly. The implosion of the US currently is due to the notion that greed is good. This isn’t how healthy societies work, everyone is part of a society and therefore all needs must be addressed. A society is only as strong as its weakest link, so lift up the weakest to ensure prosperity.

Jess Piper@piperformissouri.bsky.social

Do you ever think about the great things America could do if we focused our energy on common good rather than corporate greed?

We need a reset. For all the religious folks - Jesus was a woke liberal and Pontius Pilate was a right-wing conservative. Most good policies, that make lives better, come from the governing left, consistently.

Yes, this all day. DEI doesn’t equality lower quality, or quota hires. It’s to encourage strengthening your talent pool and thereby gaining better outcomes by looking outside of who you usually consider. People gravitate towards what the know, that doesn’t mean it’s the best. Look at Pete Hegseth 😂

Mina Kimes@minakimes.bsky.social

On being called DEI and why it isn’t the burn they think it is

Exactly this. The US has given up, by their own free will, all power.

David Rothkopf@djrothkopf.bsky.social

R.I.P. America the superpower. Whatever the factors slowly driving our decline over the past several decades, they have been dramatically, shockingly, and profoundly dangerously accelerated by the actions of this administration. My latest. open.substack.com/pub/davidrot...

This! I know Carney isn’t perfect, but I trust him to act based on facts and logic and strategy, and empathy. PP will act based on hate and ignorance.

This, all day this. The bible doesn’t teach hate, towards anyone.

The madness needs to end, grown ups can admit when a mistake was made…please please please let there be some actual adults in the GOP

Brandon - "Fietser"@americanfietser.bsky.social

Full support for any member of Congress, and I mean any member, that mobilizes articles of impeachment on the entire administration immediately. This has gone too far.

It’s terrifying

Schooley@schooley.bsky.social

The idea that the federal government can go before a judge and say, “Yeah we arrested the wrong guy, but too bad, so sad” is not alarming nearly enough people yet.

This 👇

Carl T. Bergstrom@carlbergstrom.com

One thing about today's tariff shitshow is that congress could undo all this nonsense tonight and the damage would still be huge, because these actions have decisively signaled that the US is an unreliable international trading partner—and this impacts political and economic strategy worldwide.

Good. Reign the lunatic in. How dare America do this to the rest of the world - the GOP will never be forgiven

Sahil Kapur@sahilkapur.bsky.social

🚨 51-48, Senate PASSES a measure to terminate Trump’s tariffs on Canada. Four Republicans join Democrats to deliver a rare rebuke to the president: Susan Collins Lisa Murkowski Rand Paul Mitch McConnell

Exactly.

Nancy Levine Stearns@nancylevinestearns.bsky.social

💥 NEW by me: Levi's Board of Directors defends DEI, tells shareholders to vote on April 23. Levi's Board: “we believe in the strong business case for a diverse and inclusive workforce... it is a competitive advantage and serves as a driver of business results.” www.thequeenzone.com/levis-shareh...

Everyone, including the billionaires, should be terrified by this. The US is abdicating its role as a superpower and will never regain it, for what, so some rich people can keep a little more of their money?

Carmen 📚 Latinx Book Influencer 📚@tomesandtextiles.bsky.social

When you look at the list of institutions they want to defund: libraries, museums, the Smithsonian, public schools, PBS, NPR, archives, you can clearly see that the real threat to an authoritarian regime is an informed and educated public

This…these relationships have existed for centuries, since the birth of the US in fact in terms of Europe, and in 2 months they’re decimated. It will take many, many decades to get the trust back. Trust is finicky that way. MAGA has to go for it to happen.

Exactly. This is an opportunity for Canada to become top in the world for innovation and discovery. The US gained much of their wealth and power because of their innovation, Trump and the GOP really have no clue what they are abdicating. Their stupidity = our gain
