Wait ... isn't this Google? Aka a US company?

I understand the issue of technical power, mind you, but I don't really see how US companies expanding into Canada is a good idea as long as a hostile orange individual keeps on potty-mouthing Canadians.

Maybe we'll end up cancelling whatever contract Waymo got and give them a secret payout amount like we did for Starlink.

No, the rest of us will continue trading without the US. Its not giving in, its ignoring the billionaires that are buys favors and not buying from their companies.

		You sure about that? My friends and colleagues outside the US are awful pissed that US gen pop let/lets this happen. They’re encouraging their leaders to route around 300 million Muricans as they see no collective action in response to threats to global trade they rely on. And argue ok if US institutions and zeitgeist are "fuck yall we're America" well again 300 million are really at the whim of 8 billion. Not sure the typical Mr Rogers naive optimism "we're America!" is gonna get the US through after 10 years of this (Biden admin effort was binned just months after Trump 2.0 took off so it effectively didn't matter; Jimmy Carter 2.0). That's just copium, blind faith in what Adam Smith called "the invisible hand" he later came to realize was a mistake to believe existed

Orange guy may make news, but Canada has greater problems from within.
