Etiquette



DP Etiquette

First rule: Don't be a jackass.

Other rules: Do not attack or insult people you disagree with. Engage with facts, logic and beliefs. Out of respect for others, please provide some sources for the facts and truths you rely on if you are asked for that. If emotion is getting out of hand, get it back in hand. To limit dehumanizing people, don't call people or whole groups of people disrespectful names, e.g., stupid, dumb or liar. Insulting people is counterproductive to rational discussion. Insult makes people angry and defensive. All points of view are welcome, right, center, left and elsewhere. Just disagree, but don't be belligerent or reject inconvenient facts, truths or defensible reasoning.

No more Jack Daniels

 Lord have mercy, but Canadians do know how to play nice, don't they?

No more Jack Daniels on Ontario shelves. No more Jack Daniels going to British Columbia, nor to Quebec.

THAT ought to teach that Trump a lesson.

At least the Premier of Ontario is now putting a surcharge on electricity to the US and threatening to cut power entirely. Trouble is, the pain will be felt by two Democrat states, NY and Minnesota.

How about stopping ALL exports of potash to any state for now? How about cutting out all oil and gas and lumber exports, for now?

How about reaching a free trade agreement with China? How about denying American military aircraft access to Canadian airfields? There is one near where I live and I see their military planes flying there all the time. Cut 'em off.

How about stopping ALL imports of fruits and vegetables from the US? Can't be done? Nuts, I went shopping last week and checked labels, and in Canada there are more fruits and vegetables on the shelves from Mexico that from the US.

How about restricting all travel to the US? Tell all those Snowbirds that love to prop up the Florida economy, either come home or don't expect any protection of your American neighbors turn nasty.

And finally, unrestrict Jack Daniels, this American expat is missing his fix too much. 


End of  rant.
