Lazarou Monkey Terror 🚀💙🌈<p>Starmer could turn his fortunes around by standing up to Trump like Political leaders in Canada and Brazil have done.

Be_Outside<p><a href="https://photog.social/tags/elbowsup" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>elbowsup</span></a> didn't mean doing the chicken dance.... it meant preparing our nation to not be taken over by the authoritarian fascism that has taken our neighbouring country, and do our business with better nations. Let's do that now.</p>

Some may be satisfied with Carney moving the goalposts post-election, but a solid majority of Canadians want Carney to toughen up &amp; hit back at the US.</p><p>- Re: trade, the above is relevant only as long as we continue to look to the US as our primary trading partner. Trudeau negotiated tons of new trade agreements, but Canadian companies have yet to use them. We should incentivize them to alter their supply chains, not give up &amp; settle for whatever the convicted felon feels like giving us.</p><p>- Talk of the midterms changing things next year is what we heard after Biden's win in 2020. The US was increasingly unstable before Trump -- he just rode the wave into office. Do you really think President Vance will be easier to deal with in 2028? ¯\_(ツ)_/¯</p>

In the 1990s when activists were trying to get #fairtrade #coffee & #hotchocolate everywhere, they were working with economist data that said, the price of fair trade coffee at a coffee shop was $0.10 higher than non-fair trade.

Capitalists, and people who are schemey, tried to pretend that #labour costs are the vast majority of anything.

It's really profit. And sick people who like to manipulate & exploit vulnerable people.
