Canada is not the United States
-
I was listening to an episode of This American Life this morning. The theme was lies. One of the stories interviewed an author who talked about the specific type of lies the stupid carrot tells. He called them “bully lies” and said they are used by people in positions of power. Everyone knows they aren’t true, but they say them with the ultimatum of “believe this or you are the enemy”. It was really interesting - I may seek out his book.

Here is the stupid carrot not understanding very basic things.
REPORTER: Are you considering revoking the TPS status for the more than 20,000 Ukrainians who live here in the US?
TRUMP: What are you saying?
REPORTER: TPS status.
TRUMP: On GPS?

The Ukraine refugee return order has the potential to hit my part of Ohio very hard. Parma, Ohio, two towns over, is home to more Ukrainians than in any one place outside of Ukraine.
The churches are spectacular and the fish frys attract hundreds of people. Nice people, too. Very warm.
Hope everything works OK for them.

Here is a NY Times article from this morning. Should be a gift link. Trump’s Canada fixation is about more than tariffs. Apparently well publicized in Canadian media, but not here.

From Canada:
Is Canada’s trade war strategy working?

I didn’t realize it wasn’t being publicized in the US. It definitely is well known here. That’s why we are so mad.
