Is it time for Canada to remove it's knee-jerk, follow the leader tariffs against Chinese electric vehicles?

Let's face it, the only reason Canada imposed those tarriffs was because the US did. It surely wasn't based on a thoughtful, analytical analysis of the subject (or at least I haven't heard of one).

Surely, removing the tariff's on Chinese EVs would be the ultimate retaliatory tarriff against Agent Orange and his goon -based administration!

#Ukraine #NAFO [1] at #PolishNewsChannel

This polish news channel, with sometimes valuable news on Ukraine, tells the origin story of
the Nort Atlantic Fellows Organisation. And celibrates its anniversary [10 months late JdeB]
While getting popular with all kind of memes on the internet it evolved into an organisation that customises truck for the Ukraine front.
Financed by contribution of [you and] me; after a campaign of mainly you tubers.
Up till now they've had 38 convoys [from homebase Estonia to Ukraine] delivering over 500 trucks.
They specialize in 'medivacs' [for transport of casualties], trucks' [for transport of troops and/or equipment]'and 'FPVdrones' [various types and sizes] and jammers.

I have been a contributer for over a year now, and proud of it.
They do excelent work, provide regular updates on YT and financial reports.
When you go to this page -> help99.co/our-initiatives <- you can choose the campaign.
You can go for the $ 1.000.000,-- [shoot that just closed cause they reached the target] or you can go for the Medivac [DACH Bat 4] or you can go for the attack.
Remember to click on the 'more info' tag for ah you guessed it.
Depending on how much you want to [can] spend you can go for a patch [€ 100,--] to aquire a patch of the unit [€ 750,--] up to an invitation to join a convoy + all bonusses [€ 10.000,--] or any [smaller] amount.
What I especially like is the multitude of payment options so you can avoid PayPal.

That's for the well earned promotion

I'm proud to say that this medivac is for € 50,-- paid by me. (0,5 %) . A bit petty to mention, perhaps but I'm so glad that the Ukr Army takes the life of their soldiers seriously. Unlike their counterparts, who couldn't care less.

#Ukraine #NAFO [3] #Kraken #Azov

This campaign was brought to my attention by one of those YouTubers I told about. Suchomimus. [1 patch]
The Kraken group was formed in the first days of the invasion to defend Kharkiv, and they did so successfully. Civilians with ordinairy jobs chose to fight for their country. After that they recaptured large portions of the surroundings. Highly decorated they continued and became a highly specialized special group within the UKr Army.
The Azov group should not need any introduction. When other, less couragious, parts of the Ukr Army fled for the invading Russians, they kept defending Mariopol. For months they defended and were trapped in a steel factory. They had to give up because of the civilians that sought rescue there also. Most of them were captured, taken prisoner and tortured by the Russians. Those that came free in POW exchanges went right back to fight. These elites make Russians crawl in fear.
These guys remind us that the only way to victory is the defeat of the Kremlin !

Mentre finisco di leggere "Stalingrado", penso che da qualche parte una giovane e/o un giovane ucraino, al fronte, sta maturando un capolavoro della letteratura degna del coraggio del suo popolo e della giustizia della sua causa.

Chissà se Putin ha mai letto Vasilij Semënovič Grossman.

Chissà quanti di quelli che hanno amato le immortali pagine di Stalingrado e Vita e Destino hanno compreso che la Stalingrado dell'Europa Occidentale è al fronte Ucraino?
