U.S. tried to restrict Canada's ability to get new trade deals

This more recent post has some details on the restrictions:

The source told CBC News the Canadian government was expected to agree to apply steel and aluminum tariffs on all of its trading partners at a rate comparable to what the U.S. has applied (50 per cent).

However, countries that have a free trade agreement with Canada would be treated differently. In those cases, Canada would have to establish a tariff rate quota, meaning a certain amount of product would be allowed into the country at a lowered tariff rate.

They didn't just write a tweet. The Foreign Affairs Minister made a statement yesterday, as mentioned in CBC's coverage. No, they didn't make any threats to Israel or anything like that, but an official statement is more than a tweet.

Foreign Affairs Minister Anita Anand called that decision "unacceptable" in a statement on Thursday.

"Serious failures were identified in the conduct of the strike, and closing the case without further accountability leaves their families without the answers they have sought for more than two years," she said, adding that humanitarian workers in conflict zones must be protected.

"Canada expects international humanitarian law to be upheld and will continue pressing for a full accounting of what happened, along with justice for the seven workers who were killed and their families."

Floppy is a fork of Yamtrack that recently got its own name. From the notes on that release (emphasis mine):

I'm still not a professional developer; I'm an enthusiastic maintainer using AI coding tools to build the media tracker I want to use. Floppy is now a standalone project based on the incredible work of FuzzyGrim/Yamtrack, independently maintained and supported by @dannyvfilms. Yamtrack import and documented compatibility paths remain supported, but users install Floppy directly rather than treating an upstream container replacement as a migration plan.
