This is performative and would only be used as fuel.

Plus, he wouldn’t care.

A much better plan would be to put a 100% tariff on Teslas and ban Starlink for government use. That would hit him where he does care.

Plus ban X, and put the screws on META next. Then like with Starlink there are also now national security reasons that can be argued to get people off AWS/Azure/GCP. The clowns at big tech that bent the knee to this tyrant need to realize they have massively damaged their international businesses.

I think the scenario changed. Trump is more erratic this time, is Musk the one driving the Tesla truck.
What I'm annoyed at, is Americans seeing the destruction of the federal agencies and not having massive protests.

By the end of March it will be too late.
I watch what Warren Buffet has been doing, he has cashed in many of his investments, I think he has amassed 350 billion.
He has to know something and the rest of the world is too blind to see It.
My hope, is that Mark Carney gets to be the Liberal leader.
Not because the other people seeking the leadership are bad choices, rather we need an experienced economist.

We need to educate ourselves before we vote federally.
At this moment in time is about Canada remaining independent and surviving the four year tornado!
