America has blown 80 years of accumulated goodwill and trust among its allies, our American moderator was told. A rock-steady assumption of allied defence and security planning for literally generations has been that America would act in its own interests, sure, but that those interests would be rational, and would still generally value the institutions that America itself worked so hard to build after the Second World War. America’s recent actions have destroyed the ability of any ally to continue to have faith in America to act even within its own strategic self-interest, let alone that of any ally.

The officer then said that even a swift return of America to its former role won’t matter.

Because “we will never fucking trust you again.”

If there’s one thing I think people should take from my visit to Halifax, it’s that. America’s former role is gone. And I think that Americans themselves are having the hardest time of all coming to terms with what that might actually mean in the long run.

Elbows up in 2025: How a year of Canadian boycotts on U.S...

Here are a few of the ways Canadians tried to put more power behind their purchase and travel choices in 2025 — and how those decisions may have impacted the U.S. economy.

The 2025 #ElbowsUp movement may have started as a response to U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to annex Canada, but it also came to symbolize the boycott of U.S. products as Trump's tariffs launched a cross-border trade war.

Over the course of the year, Canadians have deliberately tried to spend their money closer to home, boycotting everything from U.S. booze and streaming services to Disney vacations, joining 1.4-million-member strong Facebook groups and downloading apps to avoid U.S. products.

Meni su stalni gosti iz Ontaria otkazali vec zakazano zimovanje jos maju. Ne samo zbog "51st state" budalstina, vec i zbog trkeljisanja (registracija turista, dodatna papirologija) koje je Trump uveo.

Da, dosta ljudi ovde se plasi prelaska granice sto je ranije bila puka formalnost - sad je lutrija, mozda prodjes, mozda te vrate a mozda zaglavis i nekakav ICE kazamat na neodredjeno vreme. Tzv Snowbirds penzioneri koji leta provode u Kanadi (zbog odrzavanja resident statusa koji donosi pristup besplatnom zdravstvu) a zime na Floridi (zbog ociglednih klimatskih prednosti) masovno prodaju nekretnine dole...

president actually enables fraud in our healthcare system. So when Trump claims he is eliminating “waste, fraud, and abuse,” remember the truth.

He protected fraudsters, then used fraud as a pretext to take healthcare away from millions of Americans.

Tramp izgleda iz političke osvete blokirao projekat za vodosnabdevanje ruralnog Kolorada (većinom MAGA baze), koji su zajedno jednoglasno usvojili republikanci i demokrate.

enthusiastically voted for him in all three elections.

I must have missed the rally where he stood in Colorado and promised to personally derail critical water infrastructure projects. My bad, I thought the campaign was about lowering costs and cutting red tape.

But hey, if this administration wants to make its legacy blocking projects that deliver water to rural Americans; that’s on them.

I’m going to continue fighting for Colorado and standing up for our rural communities, our farmers, and every family that deserves safe, reliable drinking water without decades more delay. And I sincerely hope this veto has nothing to do with political retaliation for calling out corruption and demanding accountability. Americans deserve leadership that puts people over politics.
