How did we get into this mess? You ask. Well, too many of you had football coaches for social studies teachers.

Look, if there’s one thing I’ve learned about economics, it’s that industry loves unpredictability and random taxes flashing on and off like lights at a rave. https://t.co/p4DA0D6Thb

Today in the War of 2025: 

Fun replies here, somehow reminded me of an old story about American Army running out of condoms for their men and asked Canada if we could supply. We did.
Canada took boxes of XXL Made In Canada Condoms and re-labelled them 'Small' and sent them off.

France is stepping up, but the real fight is just beginning. We need more than symbolic gestures; we need unwavering support. The stakes are high, and we can't afford half-measures. Let's keep pushing!

@MarkJCarney rocks!!!

this is huge cda. Carney is doing the work. We are in good hands.

He doesnt need to go on american tv. He doesnt need trump to call him a strong man. He like trudeau, does the work. he doesnt need his ego stroked by american tv and an orange felon.

Full text of Brian Allan's post: 

BREAKING: Canada Just Filed to Sell U.S. Dollar Bonds—Size Undisclosed Amid escalating trade tensions and Trump’s tariff war, Canada is quietly stacking U.S. dollars by issuing USD-denominated bonds. 

 Why does this matter? 

 💰 More U.S. dollar reserves = More leverage in a trade fight. 

 💰 A preemptive move to stabilize currency markets amid Trump’s economic threats. 

 💰 Signals that Canada isn’t backing down—it’s securing cash before things escalate further. 

This isn’t just some routine bond issuance—this is a strategic play in an economic showdown. 

MAGA wanted a trade war with Canada? 

Looks like Canada is gearing up for one. 

Just a comment:

Never thought I would experience a time where some Canadians were considering the possibility of someday enlisting because of fear that America will at some point need to be met with armed resistance. Today, Trump made that feel real.

I think it's worth saying this again:
If you're an American general today and you're being asked to work on invasion plans for any other country -Canada Mexico Panama Greenland- you need to walk to your nearest microphone and start talking right now.
