Really, Mark Carney is what a conservative used to be. These days people who identify as “conservative” are internet weirdos that stress over “wokeness” and whichever conspiracy theory is popular on the internet on that day.

So, it Depends?

He’s history’s greatest monster!

It’s impossible to know, the economy is complex. Even your example of flour may be affected. Many things aren’t done by hand, and if a machine used in producing flour needs parts that’s sourced from China, there could be a problem that disrupts production. Many things from China comes by ship there’s already been a significant drop in shipping from there. Remember it takes more than a month for a ship to cross the Pacific, and from there it may need to go by rail to where you are. If you live towards the east coast, it will take longer, and if there’s disruptions at the Panama Canal, there could be even more of a delay.

Shipping was busy before the tarrifs, companies were frontloading and warehouses are full. But if people start panic buying, that’ll empt the warehouses really quick and it could be months before anything new gets shipped in and who knows what the prices will be?

Some stuff that’s made in China might be fine if no one panic buys is. Some things made in USA there may be shortages or massive price increases because they need materials from other countries to manufacture them.

So the generic prepper stuff is pretty much the best anyone can offer you. Make sure you have a month’s supply of everything you need, more if possible. You’d need to know the specifics of every industry’s material needs and also know what people might panic buy to be able to be more specific than that.

This is why Trump’s broad tariffs are insane, it’s just pure economic chaos that’s going to hurt Americans more than it will hurt anyone else in the world.

Trump breathes… while sending people to death camps; Why won’t you die already you old creep?

FTFY

One quick point: the USA is currently absurd in reality. Attempting to to use absurd hypotheticals to point out something wrong is not an effective way of arguing anything now, if it ever was.

I’ve noticed Americans tend to make abhorrent statements and if called out for it they just say “it was only a joke!” Your abhorrent statements followed by “it was just argumentum ad absurdism!” doesn’t seem all too different to me.

Canadians are not going to fix your problems. We were your allies and so we did our best to help the US because that’s what allies do. But you make us an enemy then our only goal will be to destroy the USA, not fix its problems. THERE IS NO SCENARIO WHERE CANADA IS THE 51ST STATE. There are scenarios where we are your ally and there are scenarios where we are your enemy. Those are your only choices.

Y’all need to stop having fantasies and understand the reality the problems your country has created and understand you are responsible for fixing those problems. Clean up your own mess FFS.

You come here asking neurodivergents a question and you only give five options?

All of these options are terrible. You should feel ashamed, OP.

Sure, if shiny sporks are your thing.

Russia had term limits… until Putin just changed the constitution to remove them.

But why would you assume having some other fascist in charge will fix the problem? Trump is old and unhealthy, so there’s a good chance he’ll before the end of his term from natural causes. Sure JD Vance isn’t nearly as popular as Trump, but if elections are rigged and the media is under the control of the President (as things are in Russia), that won’t matter much.

Trump is the symptom, American proclivity towards fascism is the real problem.

What makes you think it makes a difference? Targets in Russia are blowing up either way.

Also some of the big booms in Russia happened far enough away from Ukraine that it’s unlikely a drone strike. I suppose they still could be, but the drone operator would need to be inside Russia to make that happen.

Sure there will be elections. But what do you do when Trump gets 90% of the vote like Putin does?

There are elections and then there are “elections”.

A lot of them were literally living in caves, so…

Also I think we can relax the PC rules a bit when we’re saying someone that thinks women are property is a caveman.

Weird, I seem to recall there being some very big explosions happening in Russia like all of the time.

I guess Russia is very good at rooting out organized dissent and preventing commando operations, just very bad at enforcing no smoking rules around explosives?

We don’t exist to fix your broken country. Y’all need to stop buying in to stupid ass theories on how this would be good for the US. It won’t, many of us Canadians would rather be dead than to be American.

A better solution for your political would be for the USA to break up and no longer be a country. If you honestly believe your politcal problems can’t be fixed without someone giving up their country, then it should be you willing to give up your country, not someone else.

That show wouldn’t work anymore, Colbert got out of that at the exact right time. No matter how ridiculous of a parody of the right wing he could come up with, the real life idiots would be saying and doing things even more ridiculous the next day.

Why am I now picturing a chain smoking Forrest Gump? “Life is like a pack of cigarettes, you never know what’s gonna blow up.”

Tankies are permanently stuck in backwards day. Left is right and right is left. They do this because they’re just fascists that don’t like to be associated with other fascists. So they call their fascist group “leftist”, but they hate democracy, liberalism, the jews, etc just as much as any other fascist.
