@WhiteHouse Assuming you guys mean ruZZiaโs idea of โgreatโ? In which case congrats, you blew past the classic markers of a magnificent kleptocracy months ago ๐๐๐๐
Last night, the largest country wholly within Europe โ Ukraine โ was attacked by russia and North Korea with hundreds of ballistic missiles, cruise missiles and strike drones.
No country outside Ukraine made any effort to shoot them down or stop them from being launched.
The thing is, this isnโt even predicated on Trump reneging on anything, though he most certainly will. This is the formal order of business, to which the government of Canada has already agreed.
I say this not as criticism. That can come later, when we find out what the terms are. I merely point out how absurd the whole situation is, and how lethal the Trump administrationโs intentions are.
This is not going to end with a tidy little package of concessions โ things we should want to do anyway, or measures we only enacted as retaliation for theirs. They want to use trade as a weapon of foreign policy โ theyโve said so, explicitly โ with the declared intent of domination, at a minimum.
So these demands are a foretaste; they will escalate from here. This is only the beginning of a long struggle.

You do realize that even if they get a deal this week, this is only the beginning? That all the concessions we're making to get this deal are only setting us up to make more concessions in the talks to come? And that we will be doing this every year from now on?
"A senior Liberal official with knowledge of the talks told the Star that Canadian negotiators had to be โpragmatic,โ and said Ottawa is on track to enter more formal talks to renegotiate the broader trading relationship under CUSMA."

โUkraine should be neutralโ
โUkraine shouldnโt join NATOโ
โUkraine shouldnโt have this weaponโ
โUkraine shouldnโt strike thereโ
Amazing how everyone has rules for Ukraine except one:
russia should leave.
Itโs bizarre that Russia, a country supposedly bound by the Geneva Conventions and expected to uphold international humanitarian law remains a permanent member of the UN Security Council after committing atrocity after atrocity, even attacking UN humanitarian convoys.
At some point, you have to ask what these institutions and protections actually mean if one of the countries entrusted with enforcing them can violate them with near impunity.
By all means, ask Premiers to return US booze to our shelves, play that bargaining chip, that's what it always was.
Canadians can still choose not to buy American booze. I know this Canadian wont be buying any.
foreigners tripping over each other to post their unsolicited opinions on whether Ukrainians should hold wartime elections โ how exactly you are different from putin on this? there are some matters where opinions of only Ukrainians living in Ukraine matter. this is one of them.
