The Tea β
Okay, so, John Bolton, who used to be all up in Trump's crew, is saying Canada's Prime Minister, Mark Carney, totally fumbled by apologizing to Trump about an anti-tariff ad. Apparently, the ad had some vintage Reagan clips roasting tariffs. But Trump got all bent outta shape, axed trade talks, and slapped tariffs on Canadian stuff. It was a whole mess.
Bolton's take? Carney showing Trump the "sorry" card made Canada look weak af, and now it's gonna be sus when they try to negotiate.
Carney confirmed he did say sorry, but trade talks are still dead. He was like, "We were making headway on steel and aluminum until the Trump got pressed."
Bolton is suggesting Canada should chill on trade talks until the Supreme Court drops their ruling on Trump's tariffs. If the court says Trump's tariffs are bogus, that would change the whole game.
Also, word is next year, they're gonna do a formal review of the Canada-United States-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA). Stay tuned, fam, this might get spicy.
Facial Recognition Billboards?! π±
But wait, there's more sus stuff going on! Apparently, there are billboards near Union Station Bus Terminal using facial recognition to figure out what ads you'd be into. They're collecting data on how many people are looking, plus their gender and age.
The company's claiming the images get deleted right away, but, like, can we even trust that? It's giving major creepy vibes, especially since something similar happened a while back at Cadillac Fairview Mall. They got caught storing info with a third party even though they said they wouldn't. Shady!
This is all because companies are desperate to make ads that hit different, and they're willing to push the line on privacy to do it. Keep your eyes peeled, y'all.
