Stupid

Damn right it is!

Where can I find out more about this “Tuya Local” set up? I just ordered some Tuya soil sensors (zibgee) and a gateway so brand new to all this.

I don’t know what you are talking about. We obviously have many people who have to be on a (tight) budget right now. I never said that I want cheap or that I don’t shop Canadian.

I am all for that. I just don’t think counter tariffs are a solution.

The whole polarization and anger gets us nowhere. People do what they can and yeah sure some don’t care. The whining from the USA on how nasty we are though tells me enough Canadians (including me) care and that the boycott is working.

Great if you can afford it. Many people can’t. Also not all products are available from other countries or domestic.

So everything is more expensive for us? Even more expensive? No thanks.

The thing is they are a huge neighbour and will stay a huge neighbour. We have to work with what we have. I hope we are going to be smart about it (smarter than in the past) but the USA isn’t going away.

I’ll stick with my ABA and travel boycott and so should every Canadian but we still are neighbours. I have lots of US co-workers and deal with them daily. I’ll be professional and keep neighbourly working with them but we aren’t friends. I think (hope!) that’s what Carney is mostly doing. Granted I don’t like everything I see but in general I think his approach is good.

Exceptionally stupid.

And American. America First /s

I don’t because Musk was always an ass. Even before he supported Trump and came out as a Nazi.

Thoughts and prayers.

I said “and”

Learning to fly a drone is much easier access for people to learn. Get a controller and download a sim from Steam. That’s a good start. Also it’s not all about shooting and detonating stuff. Recon, flying supplies etc. Drones have so many uses and it doesn’t have to be defence either. They are used in surveying, farming, fire fighting, real estate you name it. It’s a great skill to develop with many uses.

Buying one start at about $200 so much cheaper than a PAL and a rifle. Let alone ammo to practice as well as most people would need range access too. That’s all quite pricey.

Also not everybody is into fire arms and defence often gets reduced to shoot up and detonating stuff. There is so much more to it. As you mentioned the first aid/medical knowledge would be critical too.
