I lost track isn’t Canada a reliable exporter of medical isotopes too?
Edit hmm seems the us imports alot of those https://healthimaging.com/topics/medical-imaging/molecular-imaging/why-us-still-dependent-foreign-medical-isotope-production
This is exactly what we need to be looking at, that and patents, DMCA.
I also hope we latch on to EU directives and force companies to have proper GDPR like requests
Well it’s not like you can insure the houses anymore in Florida and with enough time there’s going to be a hurricane that wipes the region out again. Better to let some hillbilly be the bag holder
I hope we throw in somethingn into the retaliatory package like vehicles entering the Canadian boarder need to be zero emissions, those trying to enter with non compliant vehicles will have them seized at the boarder.
That alone should keep most riff raff out of Canada.
Neat the power to the us gets shut off 6 hrs after the announcement 🤣
I mean I think in principle it would be a minor realignment. But the devil is in the details. Could be that there is something silly like definitions of operating voltages or electrical safety standards burried in there that would be costly/ show stopping ( although admittedly would be funny to enact to mess with shared power with the yanks)
I mean we could just close the borders/ air travel a few days a week as a trial run to see how it goes. A trail separation if you will
Oldie but a goodie https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=o7jlFZhprU4
I hope canada charges a direct a carbon tax per foriegn vehicle on entry and exit
Sure all American refugees can settle in Nunavut. Locations to be reserved for the American savages by the government of Nunavut.
Americans will be expected to stay on these reserves and not mingle with local populations
Some Greenlander needs to do a new version of this I’m not expecting any major changes to the format https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=SHUWas-yQSw
It was a sad day when we lost that guy
We also need to be prepared to tax foreign entities and punish those who fail to pay in time with appropriate consequences (I.e. revocation of operation business licences within Canada, force inspection at border crossing of goods, geo lock web services and impose fines on those who don’t host large services within Canadian borders Heck demand that social media sites keep all data within Canadian boaders at all time)
We could also impose restrictions on exports ( only so many barrels of oil or Kiliowats of power per month can be exported ) add export licenses to everything under the Canada controlled goods program (hell everything could be a weapon in the wrong hands even car parts it’s dual use right) impose crazy rules about working in fields like aerospace or IT demand that all exported knowledge requires relicensing from canada like the us does with Thier EAR stuff make it hard to be employed as a us citizen in Canada.
Refuse to report banking status to us services for a while or remove any automation around it.
Walk away from copyright and patent agreements or make enforcement contingent on a companies or officer of the companies current taxable standing ( can only collect damages up to some fraction of a companies or officer or the boards taxable income in Canada)
Drop subsides for US car makers let European makers fill the voids if they can’t let Chinese brands move in.
shut down nexus impose visas at the border even if it’s for a couple days or weeks in the summer as a sign of what could happen. Close airspace to us originating flights on a whim one day randomly. Put a toll on the road from Alaska to the southern states heck put them on all borders. Hell just don’t maintain those routes and let time take its toll and let them become impossible. Or just put cops on those routes with insane ticket quotas for those routes and hit them hard for going 1km/hr over the limit. If they don’t pay on the spot hold them over night and arrange court dates as they are flight risks
All I’m saying is, if the status quo is to be interrupted it goes both ways
Force him to pay his fair share of taxes ( not a tiny amount but a fair amount proportional to what he has extracted from the Canadian economy)
If he refuses Invalidate all patents this Muppet’s companies previously enjoyed within Canada
Let competition flood in with copy cat rockets cars twitter and hell pay pal clones
If the orange idiot goes through with it I hope the Canadian Government rolls out the list of tarrifs they used last time targeting states that supported this.
I’d also love to see the following on the list of retaliation tactics
Time to invalidate any and all us owned drug patents in Canada, and encourage generic companies to go hog wild
While we are at it reduce maximum damages from IP infringement claims from media agencies to a nominal 20-100 $ fee or lower in response
Regulations on foreign house ownership would be a popular thing to play with just not sure how. But could be funny to see any trump owned or trump family adjacent properties taxed heavily and foreclosed/ eminent domained
The government should also put in place road blocks to refuse to tell the IRS any banking details of any Canadian accounts and tell them to pound sand or take years individually replying manually to any requests to see any US citizen accounts in Canada. Why bother helping them collect taxes.
Also would love to see trump refused entry at the border for the lulz
Anyway hopefully smarter people have appropriate counter measures for this. Tit for tat sucks but hopefully embarrassing/ appropriate retaliatory responses.
Buy’em now before your tarrifs get ridiculous
Red light cameras and speed cameras on doggies path would be fun to see played out. To bad he’ll probably get them rescinded somehow. But it would be fun to see how many tickets they could catch him personally for in a single trip
That cat is already dead the murder goose will ensure it
I think the shutdown of auto and aerospace manufacturing will do enough damage on both sides.
Relationships between the us and Canada are forever tainted thanks to the orange douche bag. I think it’s time to do a few things
Invalidate NAFTA 2.0 and negotiate solely with Mexico when it comes up for renewal.
Also Look at existing agreements with the us and consider them null and void or at the very least about to spoil. Defence agreements technically fall here so let’s prep for the us turning Thier backs on us.
Revert copyright laws to more sane say 10 years plus a 5 year extension if warranted and justification is more than more moneies please. Make this retroactive to all works in all mediums in all fields.
Consider poaching talent from the US offer good apples a way out and use the talent to making a greener economy. Let’s not rush to the bottom here let’s make Canada better stronger and more resilient to energy price swings.
Invest in projects that improve our resilience to market forces. Let’s try some ideas out vertical farms solar on new builds micro nuclear reactors lets give the lot a go and see what sticks.
Strengthen our electoral process maybe make a stab at something other than first pass the post. make it so the gop playbook doesn’t work here.
