“All players, no matter which country they play in, get paid in U.S. dollars,” Bettman told CNBC’s Becky Quick on Squawk Box on Wednesday. “So if the impact of the tariffs is to see the Canadian dollar drop relative to the U.S. dollar, it will make it more difficult and more painful.”

Okay, but we put a tariff on our Canadian labour and we get 25% bonus. Win-con!

In Mother Russia, the rich eat the poor.

FTFY

We could pay for this easily with an end to corporate welfare.

the federal government and the four largest provinces in Canada collectively spend about $29 billion a year on business subsidies — delivered through the tax system, spending programs and government businesses enterprises.

Not sure if you’re serious, bud.

Elbows up means get ready to fight.

They’re welcome to operate here, and pretty much always have been. Originally, VP Krasnov said amongst other things like fentanyl, we have to “open up” our banking. This I read as “deregulate” our banking to allow more risky, predatory, and derivative practices which served to crash Murca in '08, making a ton of money for those involved in the bailout welfare payments.

I recommend the solitaire cipher.

Hole brothers! So holesome!

The pesky first amendment only applies where VP Krasnov says it does, comrade. Rules for thee, not for he.

I understand what you’re saying. I also dispute the 50% number.

I’m saying only 30% of the country voted for him, 30% against, and 40% voted with their asses, making the effective amount of “love” 70%, not 50%.

Approval rating of ~50% notwithstanding, he has a 70% mandate to fuck shit up when we have 40% ass-voters.

We should all be calling him by his real name, “VP Krasnov”.

ETA: and “Murca” is now glorious “KRASNOVIA”

“While Ontario-based retailers will have the discretion to sell whatever stock they have on hand, they will no longer be able to buy U.S. products from LCBO,” the email continues.

Yes, he’s banned from running charities. But not just him. His whole family is banned because they were all in on it.

I’m saying they voted tacitly in agreement with everyone that voted for him. Whether they love the man doesn’t matter. They supported him by voting with their asses.

…so you ordered this in July when he announced the tariffs?

Elbows up!

Surely VP Krasnov is not a bad actor, comrade?

Can confirm. Am Albertan.

Dani has a lot of work ahead of her to earn my vote. It’s not the ‘job’ she’s used to doing. Poilievre can pound sand, too.

Electoral reform also only works if people vote.

“In reality, there is no such thing as not voting: you either vote by voting, or you vote by staying home and tacitly doubling the value of some Diehard’s vote.” ~ David Foster Wallace

This is a great way to create jobs for the SS recipients. /s

Yes you are, lol.
