Speed running the nazi playbook.

Sometimes I can’t believe how domesticated USians are.

    I think the orange Cheerios still does not understand tariffs. Right now Canada isn’t paying any tariffs on imports, the people in the US n the other hand are paying tariffs on Mexican, Canadian, Colombian, Chinese … products.

      More like he knows his base doesn’t understand tariffs, and when they make things worse they’ll believe it when he blames somebody else

    Only after the last tree has been cut down
    Only after the last river has been poisoned
    Only after the last fish has been caught
    Then will you find that money cannot be eaten.

    Is Canada supposed to be afraid of a country that couldn’t defeat Vietnamese rice farmers and Afghan goatherders?

      I mean, the US military absolutely can and will roflstomp traditional governments and heirarchies. Both the Taliban (2001) Saddam’s gov’t were steamrolled. The followup of holding territory and “winning hearts and minds” is where they fall on their face.

      And this threat really seems to be for the Canadian government and ‘elite’ rather than the people.

    Just claim random insane bullshit that be easily disproven by a 5 year old, and don’t worry about it because the conspiracy theory and maga idiots will eat it up. You’re always right, remember?

    Do you want Canada to pivot to China? Because that’s how you get Canada to pivot towards China… I think.

    I’m just a dumb tropical dweller from the deep south, so I will not pretend to understand Canuck politics or the whims of their people, but history shows that even liberal, democratic nations sometimes turn to tyranical regimes for protection against bigger threats. See Finland during WW2.

    Something, something, enemy of my enemy…

    FYI he is probably using the word subsidy when he really means the phrase ‘trade deficit’ which is less than $100b actually.

    But he’s an idiot buffoon with no business leading out on the economics of a small village not to mention the largest economy in the world.
