The message from the current administration is clear: the rest of the world, and half the US are considered adversaries. Do everything you can to reduce interactions and/or dependence on the US. The administration cannot be trusted.

This may sound a bit nuts but I honestly think Trump is doing this because immigration, foreign policy, and commander in chief are the three areas where he has nearly dictatorial powers, so he simply chose to turn those cranks because those were the ones available.

If you look at how he is turning the cranks it doesn't make sense, virtually no modern economic thought supports this kind of tariff and customs war with friendly Canada. It seems like a child playing at the wheel of a car with no idea how to drive but by God you will hear him honking that horn.

Doesn't sound nuts at all, the facts fit the theory.

boston globe article about Kristi Noem incident some weeks ago:

line from the archived website:

"The Haskells wanted Canadians and Americans to have equal access to the Library and Opera House and so they chose to build on the border. Construction began in 1901; the Opera House opened in 1904 and the Library in 1905."

That’s such a petty move by the U.S. government. I hadn’t heard about this library before, but it seems something so innocent and devoid of problems that I wonder why the government bothered to mess with it.

Symbolic flex of 'power' and no one prepared to say 'no'

Wtf. You are a psycho.
