Why would our Country allow another Country to supply us with electricity, even for a small area? Who made these decisions, and why? And can you imagine Canada stooping so low as to use ELECTRICITY, that so affects the life of innocent people, as a bargaining chip and threat? They will pay a financial price for this so big that it will be read about in History Books for many years to come!
Well it looks like I aint on a level playing field in terms of advancement and maturity as an adolescent with you then eh?
When I was that age , I was progressing from reading ‘The Victor’ lad’s comic, to going on to Razzle magazine.
Watching Match of the day, drinking the odd glass of Tartan bitter whilst trying to convince the barman I was 18, and noticing that girls were in fact ‘quite interesting’ after all.
I was not on the same intellectual plane as you evidently were, to make or form a social comment on the ethics or morality of the country…or even care.
As for the 'grown ups ’ around me, (none of them '‘easily manipulated half wits’‘btw, )
I remember them laughing at the racist jokes from Bernard Manning and the like, repeating them to mates, and rushing home to watch ‘Love thy neighbour’ ‘It aint half hot Mum’ and ‘Till death do us part’’ ,.even grabbing girls arses as they walked by.
That is how people actually were in those days, unless you lived in a different type of working class environment than I did…Dear Boy.
Trump said on Tuesday Musk is doing a “fantastic job”, but “radical left lunatics” are “trying to illegally and collusively boycott Tesla” in an effort “to attack and do harm to Elon”.
The gall of the moron. Considering the number of boycotts by maga supporters that trump has approved of and highlighted in trash social. These really are strange times. Start Trek got it so so wrong, in fact Star Trek must have been created in a parallel universe for them to have a socially cohesive team from various countries and ethnicity.
I reckon Musk is way beyond the stage of coming to harm financially tbh.
Probably people aint buying his cars because they are crap, and not as good as ‘proper cars’.
And I thought Trump was well on the way to solving the problems caused by his.‘radical left lunatics’.
When he has he should come over here to solve the problems with the ones we have to endure over here.
Q. What borders on insanity?
A. Canada and Mexico.
And the 200% tariffs Trump is wittering on about? The ones that he negotiated?
" Hi from Canada - just a clarification for Trumpty Dumpty picking on Canadian dairy - based on the USMCA agreement which HE triggered and renegotiated, those 200% tariffs he complains about get triggered ONLY after a certain amount of American dairy entered our market NOT before"
And currently they are zero.
Musk’s Teslas have just had a good weekend in Canada.
Ignore all that stuff about them becoming very unpopular, very quickly, they are doing really well. In fact 4 Tesla stores sold 8,600 cars in just 72 hrs!
Incredible stuff…well some do think it is literally incredible.
A more better explanation would probably be that Canada probably said they were going to increase electric and gas to 50% also

Reporting from the White House
Senior White House trade adviser Peter Navarro has confirmed that the administration has reversed plans to double tariffs on Canadian steel and aluminium.
Speaking to reporters outside the White House, Navarro says the change happened after Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford backed down from his electricity surcharge, which Navarro described as “sounding ominous”.
“I think he [Doug Ford] kind of understood that this was not going to be a fight,” Navarro says. “I’ve encouraged our friends in Canada to keep the rhetoric down.”
The 25% tariffs on aluminium and steel will still be enforced.
Earlier, Navarro said Ford was a “politician in Canada” rather than an economist.
Additionally, while Navarro said the transition to “Trumponomics” could be a “little bumpy”, he said the administration was confident.
“If you’re a stock market investor and you understand Trumponomics, you will be bullish, and you won’t fall prey to daily volatility and get fleeced by day traders,” Navarro added.
Volatile markets so some speculators make money in short term share trades. But no one who actually makes goods, who builds factories and employs people, can make sensible investment choices.
Trumponomics might suit a small number of people, but not the majority them in any country.
Musk has been spinning a lot about the cyber attack on X (twitter).
He has been claiming that Ukraine was the culprit, but most others say he is talking BS.
Anybody here around in the 70’s?
I was, and was aware of a bit of what was happening around me then.
I remember a common saying from then, that would be a meme today. It relates to Richard Milhouse Nixon, the POTUS of '69 to '74.
“Tricky Dicky” was the one who ordered the Watergate break-ins and later resigned because of that.
Indirectly he caused “gate” to be a suffix for anything dodgy.
Anyway, the common idea at the time was to look at him and say
“Would you buy a second-hand car off of this man?”
Very few would.
