Those of you who subscribe to the #Day6 #podcast, or those who listen to #CBC Radio One, will have enjoyed two segments of interest today.

The first was by @pluralistic (Cory Doctorow) about a very interesting way for #Canada to respond to #US tariffs.

The second was by @molly0xfff (Molly White) about #Trump's embrace of #cryptocurrency and what that could lead to.

Two accounts worth following.

A trip down Memory Lane, apropos of nothing:

When an L.A. born American citizen is mistaken for a Mexican illegal alien and deported to Mexico, he has to do everything he can to get across the border

The site ... now gives users an โ€œError 404โ€ message. It also included a โ€œGo Homeโ€ button that directed viewers to a page featuring a video montage of Trump in his first term and on the campaign trail. The button was later updated to read โ€œGo To Home Pageโ€.

Does anyone remember a miniseries on TV (maybe in the late '80s) about a merged Canada-US, where a Canadian runs for president? He staged a fake assassination attempt to get sympathy and win the election. The bullet was fired from a rifle disguised as a satellite dish mounted on top of a television station's van that was parked nearby to cover a speech he was giving. I think the plot was to undermine the Canada-US merger from the inside. Anyone recall that show or what it was called?
