To describe Trump's actions as “potential conflicts of interest” misses the point. A “potential conflict of interest” sounds like an unfortunate situation in which it’s possible that Trump might choose his own personal interest over the nation’s. Stated this way, the problem is the conflict.

"... U.S. vehicles heading north to Canada through the Peace Arch and Pacific Highway crossings are sometimes being stopped by U.S. border patrol before they leave the country.... In some cases, it's added hours to crossing times.

"They stopped and asked us to open everything up," said David Crosby, U.S. resident who crossed into BC on Tuesday.

Checkpoints by U.S. border patrol raise concerns amid drop in Canadian visitors

In an unusual scene, vehicles heading north from the U.S. into B.C. are sometimes being stopped by U.S. border patrol before they exit the country and arrive at Canadian customs. In some cases, it has added hours to crossing times.

I thought the USSR was long gone, but Trump just revived it: Say hello to state planned pricing.

And I thought it was the Republicans who always accused everyone else of being communist… hmm.

@luckytran naturally the state and federal government, as well as the neighboring state, are trying to overturn it
@luckytran air quality would be interesting too
@morebento @luckytran Well, it's NYC... it's gonna have poor air quality from all the shitty NY style pizza... kidding. Sort of.
@calsnoboarder @luckytran with pineapple? 🍍
@morebento @luckytran Pineapple on NYC-style pizza would be an improvement (and before people come at me with "fruit doesn't belong on pizza!" let me remind you all that tomatoes are a fruit).
@calsnoboarder @luckytran when my Italian cousin visited us in Australia recently my (non Italian) mother made pizza 🍕 with pineapple. He was horrified
@morebento @luckytran I don't judge... I prefer Chicago-style deep dish, but for a hangover, Hawaiian style is the way to go...
@calsnoboarder @luckytran a place has just opened near me which does that, I’d never tried it before. Very enjoyable. Thanks for the chat!
@luckytran what does the turquoise/gray colour distinction represent?
@anselmschueler @luckytran Best guess -- gray refers to the outcomes outside the congestion pricing zone.
