I only have experience at land borders and more with US->Canada trucking, but nothing really should change other than changing tariff rates in the computer systems. Even when loads were carrying duty/tariff exempt items (ie NAFTA stuff) they would go through the same process of submitting info on the load, and paying applicable fees (in my case only tax). In the rare case there were extra tariffs to apply the computer would just add those to the total and the payment process was identical. Upon further reading this was a short term glitch because the tariff codes for some exempted items weren’t working. I’d guess it likely just delayed payments, even if stuff was maybe released from the ports during those 10 hours, major shippers aren’t going to want to get testy with CBP because their entire business model relies on them.

Trump has been lamenting the decline of US manufacturing for decades: “if you don’t have steel, you don’t have a country.” But why blame this on the dollar’s global role? Because, Trump answers, foreign central banks do not let the dollar adjust downwards to the “right” level — at which US exports recover and imports are restrained. It is not that foreign central bankers are conspiring against America. It is just that the dollar is the only safe international reserve they can get their hands on. It is only natural for European and Asian central banks to hoard the dollars that flow to Europe and Asia when Americans import things. By not swapping their stash of dollars for their own currencies, the European Central Bank, the Bank of Japan, the People’s Bank of China and the Bank of England suppress the demand for (and thus the value of) their currencies. This helps their own exporters boost their sales to America and earn even more dollars. In a never-ending circle, these fresh dollars accumulate in the coffers of the foreign central bankers who, to gain interest safely, use them to buy US government debt.

To be clear we don’t know this is the case, this is the only health issues her father knew about and thus what was entered into court, but it’s possible she was diagnosed with something terminal or had other health issues and refused to tell her parents.

On the other hand I’ve had disabled friends who’ve had MAID brought up by doctors, mainly because their benefits situation is so dire they can’t afford to live in an apartment that covers their needs. It’s absolutely a eugenicist system, I just don’t like using the story you linked as an example as it could easily be a legitimate use of MAID, because we don’t know the details.

Based on the language I don’t think this is new Canadian border agents or anything, just stating that CBSA has about 10,000 current employees.

These retaliatory tariffs seem kinda odd, only effect about 25% of total imports and a lot of them seem to be things that would directly increase cost of living when that’s what has led to the collapse of the liberal government. I would have thought fruits/veg would have been excluded not specifically targeted as that’s a large majority of our fresh produce in winter.

American liquor like beer, wine and spirits, vegetables, clothing, shoes and perfume will be among the first items to face Canadian retaliatory tariffs. Canada will also put tariffs on American consumer products such as household appliances, furniture and sports equipment.

any time something crosses the border it already has paperwork submitted with the goods on the truck, the value, the country of origin, and classification (what kind of good it is) to determine the tax and duty due to be paid by the importing company. all they have to do is adjust the tariff rates in the computer system, so it will be collected as soon as these go into effect on Tuesday

How does this square with tarrifing Canadian oil?

Polling shows them in fourth place, still behind the Liberals, with something like 25 seats in a Conservative supermajority. Complete failure of the party to lose ground during an era of rampant fucking over of the working class.

Yes I was just making a hasty comparison of the poor efficacy of 12 step programs to the poor efficacy of long term diet and exercise programs, when other better alternatives exist for both scenarios. Didn’t want to imply eating as an addiction. Apologies for the poor choice

Edit: just saw you disengaged from this, my bad

Not sure why only BC/Alberta/Saskatchewan are split in Canada? Northern Alberta and BC would be chud heaven and Southern Saskatchewan would have a population of like 40,000 people because the border is south of every major city in the province. Funny map 10/10

Don’t know why the NDP would agree to dissolve Parliament just to give a majority to the conservatives, even if they gain a few seats from the liberal downfall

They’ve also done union busting in the past

Lol yeah I did the same thing

I remember listening to this years ago, but had forgotten about the part they were using it for IEDs prior to American cities. This was all the way back in 2015

My bro is having stomach issues to the point of only being able to eat broth and plain oatmeal. I went digging around and sure enough, there’s decent studies that show about 10% of people develop new stomach issues in the 6 months post COVID, both IBS and other “disorders of the gut brain interaction” or DGBIs.

Got laughed at like a paranoiac when I brought it up though lol.

Chloramines suck to get rid of, brewers sometimes use metabisulfite tablets . Pool people superchlorinate the water with free chlorine/bleach, which breaks down the chloramine then quickly gasses off. Carbon filters don’t work that well for chloramines, you have to really slow down flow for it to be effective. Not sure if any of these techniques would have any effect on the anions in this paper.
