nothing distracts from a #tradewar like digging!
this last extension of the trench is not fun. I am about halfway there! thankfully it is partly cloudy and relatively cool. good trenching weather.
it would be cool if electricity could wire itself... preferably wirelessly. ⚡️

In case you need to be reminded, Canada. It seems to have finally started to sink in to at least some American pundits:
David Frum:
“As Trump has declared over and over again, his ultimate goal in this trade war is to add Canada as a 51st state.”

THE TRENCH IS DUG
a video
Doing some final measurements to figure out exactly what the lengths are so I can calculate voltage drop for the solar panels.
Good news! The full length is only 97ft! That is a voltage drop of 1.4% for 10/2 wire. Good enough for solar! (2% or under is recommended for micro-inverter based solar installation)

Very interesting that President Diarrhea-Of-The-Truths has said exactly nothing about Canada in the past 24hrs.

It’s official. The attack on our cultural reach, including in French, and trying to limit our international trading partnerships, was a direct attack on Canada 🇨🇦 as a sovereign country.
We will not be the 51st state. Never.
Not even Alberta.
The USA is a hostile country.
Americans: this is on you. All of you. Fix it. Canada will make your life exactly as difficult as ours is, because of your President. Our leaders are now seriously talking about taxing or limiting energy exports to your country as we pivot to the welcoming embrace of the rest of the world.
Only you can fix this.

“You’re at war when you are attacked.”
Mark Carney
Prime Minister of Canada
and that was basically the end of the presser. He ended in French responding the same way and reiterating that Canadian culture and French identity were showstoppers.
Extraordinary times.

Should Canada go on offense and implement an export tax on oil and gas exports on September 1st?
(This is my personal idea, not anything I have heard considered officially yet)
