Unfortunately, the fact still remains that Carney has basically abandoned every environmentalist initiatives to inject money in the economy because of this trade war. Every country on heart os now inveting way more in military. There’s a huge cost to all of this, millions will die of consequences of the Trump era.
It was gonna happen regardless of the trade war or not.
Line must always go up, not down.
I’ve rarely been prouder to be a Canadian, even with all of our faults.
I really want to come visit you guys and give some tourism money. Sorry it’ll be tainted yank money…
We learned in Trump 1.0 that he is extremely isolationist and wants to cut the US off from the world like it’s North Korea.
The way an abusive spouse cuts their partner off from all other social contacts.
The way FOX News encourages its viewership to stop watching all other media sources so they’re in an information silo.
And the US voted for him again, because we vote based on vibes and bigotry. Because we have forgotten our civic duty to vote responsibly. Because we are suckers for lying confidence men who make ridiculous promises.
So the US is due for more than a bit of harsh finding out. We should have learned after George W. Bush. We didn’t and FA’d. (Effed A?)
Anyhow a lot of Americans have cut off their MAGA relatives and neighbors. It is no surprise at all that Canada — and the entire international community — might do the same.
I’m skeptical the US is going to survive to the November election, much less the new Congress in January.
Also the US voting system disenfranchises minorites disproportionately and uses the electoral college, which is anti-democratic (i.e., non swing state district votes affect nothing)… So it’s not simply a matter of shitty voter choices. Those happened in coordination with other shit.
In a way, as a Canadian, I’m glad for Trump for two reasons. One, we hated him so much that the conservative candidate in our federal election lost what should have been the easiest conservative win of my lifetime because he threw in support behind trump. And two, we are finally diversifying our economy away from that volatile ass country.
gotta say i agree, and while I realize Carney is just another 2008 conservative, at the very least he is competent.
that being said, do you think we are headed for an orange official opp considering PP’s dwindling popularity and Lewis’ growing popularity (considering the orange who kept their seats were partcularly progressive)?
I doubt the people are ready for another orange wave, at least until Avi Lewis gets the local activist networks going again. On that note I encourage people to actually join the NDP and help get things rolling. Membership is very affordable (depends on region, was <$20 for me) and they will put every dollar and minute you’re willing to give to use.
That makes sense, though I am choosing to be guardedly optimistic about the NDP’s momentum.
Only one nation has ever invaded Canada, and we taught them the error of their ways. If necessary, we will teach them that lesson again.
We could go to war and there would still be people in both countries completely fucking oblivious
Nope. Americans are used to having wars on the other side of an ocean. Those are wars you can be oblivious of. When drones are buzzing overhead and you see smoke rising from the strategic targets in your city, you can’t drive to work because the bridge was taken down and there’s military checkpoints everywhere asking to see your papers to prove you aren’t Canadian? I think Americans will notice that.
Canadians ad strategic starters kinda don’t mingle
Depends where you hit
True, there are idiots everywhere. Btw, if you have never done so, I highly recommend Pierre Burton’s two part book series on the War of 1812.
I love cobra chickens! Very representative of Canada.
The whole earth should boycott the Yanks
that’s what i’m doing here in finland
The country should be sanctioned out of existence.
Plus their little pal Israel. I saw a meme making a case for the biblical ark being built in North America. Perhaps we could convince Bibi and his cronies Israel should actually be in the American Midwest. We’ll see how many Yanks support Zionism when so-called ‘settlers’ are killing their neighbors and taking their homes.
Yeah buddy, they’re one and the same.
Yeah it would be great if all the hateful people in the world just went to the US.
So when are you moving there?
The word you are looking for is sanction.
An old friend of mine from university was recently in New York with her kids and posted pics of Central Park on Facebook. And I wondered how fucking oblivious is she
The art of the deal
both settler colonial states at the end of the day…
Trump: this is Obama’s fault. Republicans: I knew it
I wish I could export myself to Canada permanently
I wish I could export myself from this fucking continent.
You don’t understand it is 5D chess
By playing checkers against your opponent and scamming as much money as possible from your pawns?
They prefer to be called kings, despite never reaching the back row.
My brain broke a little bit your statement was so stupid. So, unfortunately, I’m sure you’re 100% correct.
if you move your pawns to the end of the board and then move them up in the z-axis, you have successfully extracted tariffs from them.
America: I’m bleeding making me the victor
'Tis but a scratch!
