I think we've seen enough to safely say it would fall out of FTL in fairly short order.

I don't think we've seen enough to say exactly what its sublight velocity would be - no examples are coming to mind.

Edit: as is often the case when the warp drive comes up, its worth pointing out that ships at warp pretty definitely have momentum/inertia.

Ultimately, they're probably better off avoiding poking the bear, and simply working to freeze the US out of the international scene moving forward.

Not exactly what you're looking for, but Palliser Furniture is based in Winnipeg and unfortunately doesn't sell direct online, but their site has a list of retailers in the GTA.

Why did it take the government so long to figure it out?

If you mean the Canadian government, it probably has to do with the multiple of false justifications that have been provided so far.

“Tariffs are now a global policy of the United States,” said David Paterson, Ontario’s representative in Washington. “And this is a historic change to global trading patterns, and [the Americans are] very aware of that.”

Paterson said the American plan is to impose tariffs by sector across countries all around the world on April 2. From there, the countries that get along with the U.S. the best will be “first in line” to adjust or mitigate the tariffs.

[Ambassador Kirsten] Hillman described the meeting as “concrete” and appreciated the conversations, but she noted that nothing changed in terms of the ongoing trade war between Canada and the U.S.

Slight update: it does look there there's a fix in the works.

I don't actually have an answer to this (and tbh, I rarely see embedded videos on Lemmy), but I'm going to ask around.

This is certainly a political trait, but perhaps more importantly, it's a human one.

Immediate gratification feels better than distant gratification. Avoiding something bad never feels as good as getting something good.

I don't know what the solution is. Education, I guess? The population at large needs to fully understand the nature of the threats, and the consequences of failure.

That title has big 90s Marvel energy.

I think it might be asbestos-free now - they've spent the last few years gutting the place.

But yeah, I don't think I'd support tearing it down, despite the fact that the house itself supposedly isn't considered architecturally significant.
