We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

*PM says Trump is trying to make it easier to annex Canada — but it won't work *

An unbowed Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Tuesday that Canada will hit back hard at the U.S. after President Donald Trump launched a North American trade war by slapping devastating 25 per cent tariffs on virtually all Canadian goods.

Speaking to reporters at a news conference on Parliament Hill, Trudeau said Trump is trying to prompt "a total collapse of the Canadian economy" because he thinks that will "make it easier to annex us."

But Trudeau said that will never happen because "when it comes to defending our great nation, there is no price we all aren't willing to pay."

Trudeau said Canada will not back down from a fight in the face of "completely bogus and completely unjustified" trade action that has the potential to ruin bilateral relations and prompt job losses, economic devastation and higher inflation on both sides of the border.

I looked but couldn't find it.
Your stupid link also doesn't work, shows an animation of a search without any result???
Thanks for being arrogant about it though.

Edit:
Oh the stupid page doesn't work in dark mode, and you have to wait for the idiotic animation: 🤡
I was politely asking for the link, no need for this bullshit!

You were the one who claimed it's a must see, and then not provide the link to see it!!!

...

The point of LMGTFY is to obnoxiously remind someone that they are on an internet box and can easily find things themselves. The animation is actively meant to shame people into understanding just how much of their time and everyone else's they waste when they ask for a link to something trivial.

Also, again: The video is embedded in the article this thread is about.

Look, I get it: The pleasure box in our hands is fun and The Algorithm tells us everything we might ever need. But you REALLY should learn basic internet literacy if you want to function in this post-truth world.

You wrote specifically yourself that this was a MUST SEE!
then you want everybody who takes you up on it to search for it, Instead of you providing a link.
The one that was lazy here was you, and not me for asking politely, for that exact reason.

....

We are in a thread about the speech. The article this links to has the entirety of the speech embedded in it.

Shit like this is still useful: please understand. Not ALL of America is racist (well.. a lot of us are). Most are just REALLY FUCKING STUPID and completely broken by algorithm driven content. And other countries? You aren't far behind. Fix your shit before you are as screwed as we are.

So please tell me where in that article is the link to a video of the full speech?
Because I skimmed it again, and I still can't find it!!!

It has 7 big photos, and is 5 pages on my monitor. It may be there, or you may be full of shit IDK, and honestly, I don't even care, because you are obviously too dense to get the point.

Thanks, 👍
For some reason it doesn't have the play logo in the center or lower left corner, as videos usually do, which is why I missed it skimming.
The "play" logo is clearly visible on your screenshot, but not here with dark mode.

Good. Now watch it and go apologize to https://lemmy.zip/u/NuXCOM_90Percent for being an asshat about it.

Nah, I'm pretty sure the point of LMGTFY is to identify yourself as an obnoxious asshole.

If you couldn't be bothered providing a link then you could've just not responded.

It would've been easy enough to just link whatever you were looking at.

Instead you went out of your way to make the person asking feel silly.
