In which a Nobel prize winning economist tries to figure out Trump’s animus towards Canada, and concludes, reasonably, it’s because Trump just can’t stand decency.

Sorry meant 2010
I remember in 2008 after watching Olympic hockey and then I was trying to watch a regular season Leafs game right after (and they were awful back then). It was jarring to say the least.
Even horrible and personalistic dictators such as Putin and Xi Jinping understand that the state needs to function somewhat and that you cannot fuck over too many people at the same time. I am not sure Trump (and Musk) understand this.
Another reminder tonight that MAGA’s ONLY ideology is devotion to Trump. When Trump said let’s extricate America from the rest of the world, focus on home, no more wars, no nation-building, MAGA cheered. But now Trump says let’s take over Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, & Gaza. And MAGA cheers.
we do not have the luxury of this bullshit anymore. we're not in your dorm debating Marxism. if you can't figure out the difference between a flawed but independent Canada and an American protectorate, you're a fucking dipshit
Yup, if Trump doesn’t want to do business with Canada, Canada will painfully, eventually adjust to doing more business with others. There’s a “poison pill” in NAFTA 2.0 that kills the agreement if Canada and Mexico allow China into the trans-pacific partnership free trade zone. So now China joins?
Canadas best hope this point is a large market correction in the DOW and S&P today
Red state alcohol is currently being removed at B.C. Liquor store in Victoria. #bcpoli
I mean, if Trump sees miles-long lineups at gas stations across middle America on Fox News, maybe he loses his nerve?
I’ve got a good idea: there’s a „poison pill” in USMCA that imposes penalties on Mexico and Canada if they allow China into the Trans Pacific Partnership. Now that USMCA is a dead letter, let them in.
Anyone else tired of basement-level goalies turning into Vézina winners against the leafs for a night like f***ing Cinderella? Just me?
Ok but the Oilers have a 3 goal lead heading into the third
That’s a fair analysis. I guess compared to Boston and Washington maybe?
Remember when they got Columbus for the play-in series and we thought it would be a cakewalk? Fun times.
In the US at least it’s on NHL network
Who do you think is the Leafs most likely R1 opponent? Who’s the Leafiest?
Leafs will face the Bruins in round 1
Consistently the world over, voters have punished the governments that oversaw the 2021-23 spike in inflation. Left wing or right wing, doesn’t matter.
What if its just my first name and my face from when I was 3 years old?
Hopefully by then the bottom six establishes itself and he’ll be superfluous
Yeah exactly, nothing would make me happier than crushing the Sens in the playoffs but this isn’t that Leafs team
Yup he was kind of cheating to defend the pass/one timer
I agree that would be the Leafiest outcome
Just watch Parros give him just a one game suspension knowing it helps the Leafs if he sits
Addition by subtraction?
Ew a 1st?
Reaves with the GWG or tying goal
But seriously did the NYT really do a piece on you?
Reaves with the GWG to really fuck with the people who say he shouldn’t play every night
