Is the US going to Annex Canada? by force? or just destroy the Canadian Econ for fun

How do you go into a new NAFTA 3.0 when the US will cheat the treaty at any time. What is the point.

[muted reborn]

"...every American is an illiterate imbecile who overreacts and treats every inconvenience no matter how minor as both a personal threat and also as a national emergency."

that's a fair assessment.

Yes. Far better to renew the Pacific Cooperation treaty. Use the existing EU treaties. Expand trade with India, China, Rest of world

And just treat transactions with the US as either neutral or with a hostile state notwithstanding 4 year regime changes. The USA has shown that it's utterly undependable.

Therefor diversify trading and security relationships. Jury's out if Canada has wherewithal to accomplish this task

[civilcoconut]

Mexico is victim blaming drug addicts for this trade war, so hey, Canada looks pretty rational in comparison.

What could be more American than attempting to externalize the self inflicted costs of bad social, political, health and economic decisions that have resulted in decades of recurring drug crises?

There’s a fair amount of reasonable people in the middle, it’s not every American, just the loudest ones

TrackheadWhat you are referring to was a quote during a presser during our first lock down when schools and most businesses were temporarily shut down.Officials were asking the public that if you want to report non compliance please do so through 311 as opposed to 911.I live here and can not recall ever hearing about people calling 911 over masking.

[XXX-er]

except for the people in the bible belt up here and probably everywhere but we didnt know it until the provincial election so since covid the conservatives/ religious fanatics have organzied and ALMOST took the province in some case by literally a few votes



so there is always a riding or 2 where they need a recount by hand which is done in a day BUT the provincial election took NINE days to declare the non-conservative NDP party was still in power by only ONE seat




and if you think that was wild you aint seen nothing yet b-b-baby just wait for the federal election !

Well, most democrats see canadians as friendly and are embarassed at the last 2 months from MAGA. Its like asking us if we view the ex we are still in love with as good or bad.
MAGA republicans are just the big dumb bully picking on the little smart kid. Bullies usually think thier victims are nice... just easy targets and weaklings.

Meanwhile im frankly surprised that many candians think america is still a freindly ally.

[XXX-er]

I think 33% is way high I have heard whacko nut jobs want to be 51 and some guy who claims Canada is not a sovergien nation but Canadian conservatives seem to stick togetehr even across the 49th Danielle Smith the premier of alberta and the key to midwestern RUG going up 75cent a gal still wanted to suck donalds cock before the trarrifs not sure where she is now

Re- wherewithal or lack thereof: This is what those with leverage (real or perceived) generally bank on.

What, you think Trudeau is going to call backsies? That the Liberal party would go along with that?

How much do you know about Canadian elections and governance?

[J. Barron DeJong]

FWIW, the Liberal party will be voting on Trudeaus replacement in four days.
