A Canadian friend's perspective on US behavior since the Trump regime was installed:
---cut here---
One thing I've learned over the past few weeks, and it's been a bit of a sobering lesson, is that a lot of Americans I know don't actually know what's going on between the US and Canada right now, and just how seriously Canadians are taking this. So, against my better judgement, here's a timeline to explain why we're here, and why we're angry.
Nov 30th, 2018 - The United States, Canada and Mexico finalize a trade agreement. Trump personally negotiates the terms and signs the document, celebrating it as 'the greatest trade agreement in history". (This is important.)
Nov 29th, 2024 - In a face to face meeting, Trump threatens the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, that he will be imposing 25% tariffs and that if Canada wants to avoid that, it should join the US as a state.
Nov 30th, 2024 - Trump publicly calls our Prime Minister 'Governor Trudeau' and instructs his staff to only address him as Governor going forward. He again suggests Canada should join the USA.
Dec 3rd, 2024 - Trump remarks that he would split Canada into two states once annexed.
Humanity has been brewing for thousands of years. And yet there’s still a lot of innovation happening.
For example there have been many new exciting new yeast strains in recent years. Something that is starting to get more attention now is brewing with Fonio instead of barley (and even hops). This grain is thousands of years old and has a bunch of interesting characteristics; but brewing with it hasn’t been explored that much yet.
