It’s just not possible to do coherent business with a country this severely regulatory-/policy-captured.
Not worth the fucking around.
There’s a reason we don’t do business with/allow business to be done with certain countries.
Not shocked, 100% expected this was the case. Trump needed a distraction and this was a good silly post to capture the new cycle for a few day. We all know nothing will come from this, it will be gone from his small little brain in a few days.
Fine. Time to get the Convoy Crew back and let them loose on Ambassador Bridge. I’ll chip in for a bouncy castle.
I f&cking called this one 2 days ago ! *self highfive* what a shame that an entire continental trade structure can be at the whim of three billionaires having lunch. If anything this proves the urgency of building ANOTHER bridge, to reduce the power over choke points.
It is worth considering at this point, from a national security perspective, that it may be time to nationalize the Ambassador Bridge.
Give the owner his payout, and take over the bridge. No more problems with the owner. Plus Canada can then run both bridges the way it sees fit for the security and prosperity of the nation.
Great men of history made discoveries and created engineering marvels that benefitted humanity.
It feels like there are less of those people today. What we have instead are a few elites hoarding as much power as they can. Hoarding the wealth – even a bridge that Canada *fuckin paid for.*
Looking back to history – what we have today feels like feudalism. But rather than a nobility caste hoarding wealth and power over the peasantry – as ordained by god. We have instead billionaires who stole and cheated their way to power – covered by the mythical veil that they „pulled themselves up the bootstraps“. A striking similarity with how the church justified its rule over the masses.
I see a lot of that in this stupid bridge fiasco, with the way we amplify the voice of one man over those of the people.
Perhaps this myth about great men producing wonders to benefit humanity was never true. And if it is – its few and far between. Rather this myth is continously perpetuated in our zeitgeist to serve one purpose: to venerate the billionaire and the powerful.
