lol Pfizer, Stats Can and Health Canada
Not that it matters to you, it’s all a CONSPIRACY unless it’s anecdotes from people you follow on X or a “doctor back from the front lines to tell it like it is!” or…….. just says anything against your viewpoint, really.
You’re a lost cause there’s no source form anywhere you’d ever believe that doesn’t support your viewpoints.

Holy fuck. I go to Penticton for the weekend and you fucks are still talking about COVID?!
Fucking hell.
By the way, I'm loving this whole messaging strategy of calling Trump and pedophile, full stop, you can tell it's orchestrated, but it's simple and works.
What's annoying is that all this information has been out in the public record even before 2016, none of these findings are new whatsoever. Just shows you how uninformed the general public is.

I'd believe government stats if they hadn't been caught lying so many damn times.
Tainted Blood Scandal. Health Canada and the Red Cross let thousands get HIV and Hep C from tainted blood in the 80s and 90s. They knew safer screening existed but dragged their feet. A Royal Commission exposed the mess. Took a decade just to admit it.
Pfizer's Trovan trial in Nigeria. They tested an experimental drug on kids during a meningitis outbreak. Some died. Others were left disabled. Pfizer denied it all, then quietly settled when internal memos showed they knew it was ethically sketchy.
This is normal, not rare.
Canada denied abuse in residential schools for decades.
The RCMP shredded records of officer misconduct.
StatsCan had to revise inflated COVID hospitalization numbers.
So no, I don't trust official numbers just because they come in a nice font.

Is this thread still about Trump anymore? Or COVID-19? Or just Jason00S2000? This thread has turned into trash.

I've been saying this like 15 pages ago. But yet people still engage him thinking it's important to have conversations with people 'on the other side' ... OK.

Trump is focused on this retards epistine files and his weirdo medical condition. Canada is like so far down his list of shit to give about, it’s not even funny.

The other day I saw a parked truck with BC plates and a MAGA hat stuck on the dash so apparently not.
Or buddy was upside down on the payments and wanted it trashed for the insurance claim, hard to say.

Reading between the lines based on what Carney himself, various news and commentators are saying, I feel like we should be able to arrive at a "deal". However, the "deal" would still include some degree of tariff, much like how Japan is getting a "deal" with a 15% tariff.
At the same time, even if we cannot come to a deal on Aug 1, one of the commentators I listened to was basically suggesting that bcos CUSMA is still in effect until 2026, any new tariffs could only be imposed on non-CUSMA goods until 2026 when we re-negotiate CUSMA. So even if there is no deal by Aug 1, we'd still technically have another year to plan, prep, and potentially continue negotiating until July 2026 when CUSMA expires.

So Trump announces a 15% tariff deal with Japan and Toyota shares jump on the announcement because it means it's cheaper to sell cars that are made in Japan versus American made cars as US built cars face tariffs on raw materials (steel and aluminium). The stupidity is not at all surprising but it is just unbelievable to watch themselves hurt themselves over and over again.
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/07/23/detr...rade-deal.html
Quote:
A group representing General Motors
, Ford
and Chrysler-parent Stellantis
on Tuesday raised concerns about a trade deal that could cut tariffs on auto imports from Japan to 15% while leaving tariffs on imports from Canada and Mexico at 25%.
Matt Blunt, who heads the American Automotive Policy Council that represents the Detroit Three automakers, said they were still reviewing the agreement but “any deal that charges a lower tariff for Japanese imports with virtually no U.S. content than the tariff imposed on North American built vehicles with high U.S. content is a bad deal for U.S. industry and U.S. auto workers.”
Trump has threatened to hike tariffs on Mexico to 30% and Canada to 35% on August 1.

I'm more skeptical of an actual deal that is anything more than a 5-10% cut from what Trump is threatening - Carney's spoken a lot about focusing on what we can control in this trade war versus what we can't and getting a good deal with a crazy con man is not something we control. OTOH, doing deals with other countries, focusing on internal trade barriers and tackling infrastructure projects are things within our control.

The US selling US-grown rice to Japan is actually a good thing for the average Japanese citizen in both the short and medium term, although of course it comes at the expense of Japanese (rice) farmers. Currently, Japan has a very screwed up rice-growing industry where a farming association basically dictates the amount of rice being grown, as well as its price. With a monopoly in place, the cost of Japanese rice is something like 3x or 5x more expensive than the world average price.
The average Japanese rice farmer is also over 65. Clearly that is unsustainable in the medium term. The pay (for a farmer) is crap, and no young person wants to get into the industry, never mind the fact that Japan's population is on a bad downward trend anyway.
