Getting tired of this bullshit.

Trump threatening 35% tariffs on Canadian goods across the board

Trump and PM Carney have been locked in negotiations to reach a trade agreement by July 21

U.S. President Donald Trump is threatening to slap a 35 per cent tariff on all Canadian goods as the two countries have been engaged in negotiations to reach some sort of trade agreement.

Trump's latest threat came in a letter to Prime Minister Mark Carney that the president posted to his social media site, Truth Social, on Thursday evening.

"There will be no tariff if Canada, or companies within your country, decide to manufacture product within the United States," the letter reads.

Trump said the tariffs will take effect on Aug. 1, and wrote that he will increase the levies if Canada retaliates.

Trump and Carney have been locked in negotiations to come to some sort of trade resolution by July 21. CBC News has reached out to the Prime Minister's Office for comment.

In his letter, Trump again cited fentanyl "pouring" into the U.S. from Canada — even though data continues to show that minimal amounts of the drug are crossing the Canada-U.S. border compared to the U.S.'s southern border.

Trump has been complaining about fentanyl crossing the northern border since he was re-elected in November, and after taking office he imposed tariffs he said are designed to punish Canada for not doing enough to crack down on the fentanyl drug trade.

Now, the president seems to be taking the border-related tariffs a step further by promising a 35 per cent levy. The U.S. is currently imposing a 25 per cent tariff on all non-CUSMA compliant goods coming from Canada and a lower 10 per cent rate on energy and potash as part of a border-related tariffs regime.

Ottawa announced a $1.3-billion investment in border security and named a fentanyl czar to address the fentanyl concerns coming from the White House.

The U.S. has also hit Canadian steel, aluminum and autos with an import levy, which have been particularly damaging to the Canadian economy, leading to job losses and a drop in exports.

Trump has also been promising to slap a 50 per cent tariff on copper coming into the U.S. According to federal data, Canada exported some $9.3 billion worth of copper and copper-based products in 2023, with a majority of that — 52 per cent — going to the U.S. China and Japan followed, with 17 and 12 per cent of Canadian exports, respectively.

The US is THE state sponsor of terrorism.

Not saying other countries have never done it, but the US has done it more than everyone else combined and pioneered many of the now "standard" tactics.

People would be less mad if you straight up used a stock image with a watermark so I don't understand why people go out of their way to use AI when they know people will comment on it and it will detract from the point of the article.

Also, using AI in the thumbnail makes people automatically assume you're using AI in the text as well. And if you're not doing that, why would you lessen the perceived value of your writing by making it seem like you are?

It just seems pointless and actively harms your actual goals because people will get hung up on the fact that you used AI and ignore your actual valid points. Especially when you're writing about open source projects when most people interested in open source are vehemently anti-AI, it really just shows you don't know your target audience.

Once I was crossing a signalised intersection in Canada while the pedestrian light was on, and some jackass turning left on red (which is the most illegal way to run a red light btw) almost hit me and had to slam on the brakes, but what shocked me the most was that the driver behind them, also intending to turn left on red, fucking honked at the first driver for having the audacity to stop and get in their way instead of running me over.

I've also had multiple instances where I was about to cross an uncontrolled intersection and a driver (who's usually speeding to the point where I could tell with just my eyes) honks at me to get back on the sidewalk because they don't intend on stopping for me when the laws require them to. Also seen drivers turning right on red (which is legal here in BC for some reason) honking at pedestrians crossing with the light and demanding to go first when the laws say you're definitely supposed to wait until the cross walk clears.

This is why I hate drivers. They call cyclists and pedestrians entitled while doing shit like this.

I don't fly that often, and when I do, I pick the cheapest airline possible. Maybe I'm just lucky but I've personally never had budget airlines screw me over all that much. The delays and getting upcharged for everything is expected, but I've never actually been in a situation where a flight got cancelled and they just left me to sleep in the terminal overnight or anything like that, so I never really considered paying more for one of the "normal" airlines.

I'm curious as to what economy is like on a non-budget airline. They can be over double the cost of a budget airline ticket so do you actually get double the service? Anyone who has a lot of experience flying both want to weigh in on how they compare?

With a fun side quest of figuring out if your actual code has the error or the tests!

Karen incident in the customer service call center driven development.

If someone hasn't yelled at a minimum wage phone rep over it, it doesn't need to be fixed.

Fax is also HIPPA compliant, email is not.

Yeah I just love having my cancer diagnosis sent in plaintext over copper wire such that anyone with a dollar store audio recorder and physical access to the wire can intercept. If there's one thing 19th century data transmission tech is known for, it's security and privacy.

Is it too much to ask that hospitals use the literally decades old AES standard for sending medical data?

They must have, otherwise that person wouldn't be so angry to have received the inferior stuff! They expected much better.

Except those weren't "holidays" in the same sense as modern holidays, as in you had the day to yourself and you could do pretty much whatever you wanted. Those were church days, you had to go to mass, fast for the day, and/or do other assorted religious rituals. You didn't get a break from work, you were forbidden from working even if you wanted (needed) to because you're supposed to be worshipping God on those days. Failing to do so can get you shunned from your community as a sinner, or worse, executed for being a blasphemer, especially if you're a woman. If you're falling behind on the quotas your lord gave you, those kinds of "holidays" would only make the situation worse because you're not allowed to use them to catch up.
