You'll be happy to know that lemmy's monthly active user count has grown ~20% in the last month.

I assure you the National Observer is not a media outlet that was calling for the carbon tax to be cancelled.

And despite everything, short of a real war we will continue to trade with the US at a reduced capacity. Which is fine. The goal of our trading strategy ought to be diversification to avoid a monopsony-like situation where any individual buyer is buying enough of our exports to severely damage us if they stop (that is, the situation we're in now).

As far as I'm aware this only works for Bloomberg. A flaw in their site design.

Lemmy was adding an unwanted slash for whatever reason, look at my edited comment.

You can get past the Bloomberg paywall by adding a period after the .com

So, instead of

www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-29/trump-tells-nbc-he-couldn-t-care-less-about-higher-auto-prices

put

www.bloomberg.com./news/articles/2025-03-29/trump-tells-nbc-he-couldn-t-care-less-about-higher-auto-prices

The last datapoint is interesting. All four of the top parties lost a little ground? Where did it go? Surely not all to the PPC, and the Greens don't look like they gained that much.

Whereas I relish it. It takes all kinds to make the world go 'round, I guess.

Right, maybe this was true of the PCs before the merger with the Reform Party, but the creature resulting from that merger takes its cues from American conservatism.

That's pretty dumb, Carney. Our current situation is a product of too much focus on too few export markets. Refusing to expand trade with China is choosing to act with a limb tied behind our back for no good reason.
