In a stunning reversal of the usual U.S.-Canada power dynamic, Prime Minister Mark Carney has given Donald Trump something he's not used to: a deadline.
I trust Carney has no aspirations to become leader of the USA and Canada combined in either configuration. Our history and culture are at too greatly at odds, and they vastly outnumber us. I'd rather be dead, frankly, and my daughter and grandson have been living in the US for over two decades now. But hopefully you weren't actually serious and I can climb down from the ceiling now.
Trump and those Canadians who whine about absolutely anything (you know the ones—their way or nothing. Or, even worse, are the “that’s the way we’ve always done it” people🤯)can just piss off. We need interprovincial trade to increase with barriers removed. Shitcan American booze. It isn't that good anyway. And other things we can do for ourselves or get from elsewhere. Look for partners outside the States. Forward-looking collaboration. I am mightily sick to death of people finding any (any!) random excuse not to participate and threats from various groups to throw spanners in the works just because OMG we never did “this” before. Trump is like a spider—a demented one to be sure, waiting for a chance to strike. We can't let him. We need to work together. All of us. Elbows up! 💪🇨🇦
This is great. But let me give you a warning. If Trump will break the law to bomb another country unprovoked. He may still be considering trying to make Canada a 51st State. Nothing is off the table with this maniac now.
Sounds good but. Let us look at some reality. I live in Vancouver, BC , a province where the NDP is the government. Guess who is building ANOTHER pipeline the will be sending gas to a terminal (guess where that will be built) on our coast and guess where most of the profits will go, while guess who will deal with the environmental consequences of fracking and burning fossil fuel!
Things aren't looking any better in Nova Scotia under a Conservative government. Has the whole world gone mad? We seem to be in a race towards extinction.
Ontario, under Ford, just passed Bill 5 into law. Thank god I live in Toronto, because the fucking OPP (which is so deep in Ford's pocket the *RCMP* is investigating him, which is unprecedented) now has the right to enter private property without a warrant and without being in hot pursuit. Also now the government can just take your property from you if they want to develop it into something else, without compensation - and without recourse.
Magna Carta wut?
I honestly cannot understand how this shit is legal.
Good Job Canada!!🇨🇦❤️
Instead of the US absorbing Canada…..I think Canada should take over the US!! Carney USA much better leader!!!

Here is an other perspective...https://breachmedia.ca/carneys-first-100-days-trade-war-class/?vgo_ee=J%2BZ00AJgcz7pLBwL6JTQExH8Xu3dKURHPK3LUT5Fk6g%3D%3Am9R2%2FisPYP6%2BW0G4Rp7QD5yTs4ikB1vV
Hold your ground, Carney. You see how the demented Donnie operates. He wants everything all for himself.

ELBOWS UP!

I thank God I got out of Ontario altogether in 2018, but the whole world has gone nuts since then. Ah, well.
Oh, Canada! I love it!
