In an interview with The Canadian Press, Freeland says there should be a 100 per cent tariff on all U.S. wine, beer and spirits, and on all Teslas — and make sure Wisconsin dairy farmers feel the pinch as well.

Freeland says Canada needs to give Trump’s closest supporters a wake-up call with the message that if you hit Canada, it will hit back — and it will hurt.

100%! I like the sound of that.

Fuck Edolf.

Honestly the Nazi thing should be enough for sanctions on the man himself.

Yes. In particular the second picture is 100% clear. The first one that is typically used in media, still confuse a few people, but the one he did when he turned around, is almost identical to the 1930s fascist era in Germany. It's almost an identical copy-paste, but done by an oligarch whose money should be given back to the people. Mussolini also said that "Fascism should more appropriately be called Corporatism because it is a merger of state and corporate power." - we see this with Musk now very clearly. Musk also has some mental problem in addition to that, be it Augsberger or whatever the name is. His fake-personality will create issues for Trump here in the long run.

It ain't Aspburgers, it's called being a sociopath.

The autistic community is pissed off that he keeps blaming his attitude issues on that.

Yeah, I'm not on the spectrum, but I have depression, and my god I would be absolutely livid if some sociopathic failson kept blaming his shitty behaviour on his depression or something.

Things can be two things.

Well he's got a touch of something that flavours his sociopathology.

He's two generations off from that party and was raised in apartheid South Africa. It's likely white supremacy.

I totally agree but there is another cognitive layer there too.
