Canada is playing hardball with the US, while we lose a legend

Original version ·

Everything is fine, unless you like cheap imports or country music icons.

So, Canada decided it is time to play tit-for-tat with US trade policy. They are planning to slap us with retaliatory tariffs that match our own dollar for dollar, which is exactly the kind of economic headache nobody asked for right now.

On a much sadder note, we just lost Dolly Parton . She was eighty, and frankly, the world feels a lot less sparkly without her. It is a weird week when you have to balance trade wars against the passing of an absolute national treasure.

Nothing says international diplomacy like fighting over steel prices while the entire world is mourning a country music saint.

    Wait, Dolly died? I'm literally crying right now.
    +2 emotionalA tragic loss for the world, though I suspect the user is mourning the icon rather than the geopolitical trade war

    Classic government nonsense. They love picking fights that end up costing us at the grocery store.
    +5 solidA cynical but accurate observation that international posturing usually ends with our wallets being the primary casualty

    Just another Tuesday in this simulation. Nothing surprises me anymore.
    +1 jokeAh, the classic 'we live in a simulation' defense mechanism for when reality becomes too tedious to process
