@MikhailaFuller@PierrePoilievre Wrong. It wasn't tarrifs it was 51st state talk and "economic force" to get it. Tarrifs were evidence of follow through and the "deal" was the final straw of complex control over a vassal state. Pierre would be completely out of his depth. He would have signed and lied IMO.
@MelissaLMRogers Did you forget to point out how Ron Desantis is going to make Canadians pay for their shortfall? That's the plan. Canadian snowbirds have to pay extra so Florida residents don't have to pay any. You may love them but they don't love you. F. U. tax for Canadians.
@mapleblooded Canada lacks the highly specialized, large-scale manufacturing facilities required to fabricate the project's massive processing modules.
The consortium explicitly stated that the choice is driven by strict technical necessity rather than a preference for foreign suppliers.
@LaciMarieKnight You mean like we were there for them when they were attacked on 9/11? When they declared Article 5? Or how about hiding their diplomats in Iran at our peril? Is NATO a sham? Or is the US protection racket a sham? This post is next level stupid.
@Joos89c@MelissaLMRogers Our government is well aware of shenanigans that impact Canadians. But the US is also interfering, as well as Russia. Trade is something you have to do for the economy so we have to figure out how to make it secure, economically viable and rules based. I am not yet worried.
@Joos89c@MelissaLMRogers Did you see the literal red carpet rolled out for China in the recent US visit? If China was such an adversary to the US they wouldn't be building deeper trade ties. US does $500 billion a year in trade with China, cutting tarrifs, but they want us to fight their proxy war?
@Joos89c@MelissaLMRogers I don't track all of Carney's relationships. I do know that Starlink has been used to interfere in world conflicts so that's not power you need in a countries' hands who has threatened economic force to annex us.
@Nuggz092@MelissaLMRogers Nobody argued that. Geography has made that the case for 100s of years. We have a lot more resources than we have buyers. The problem is having that weaponized against us. For control, for submission not partnership and allies. Diversification is needed to minimize control.
@freedombunkr It's customers, that's what we have been financially intertwined with the US for, nothing else. That's why we are diversifying because US is no longer reliable to deal with. We are looking for new customers. Why is POTUS so against that if US doesn't want us to be dependent?
@belligerentNuck Not legal, not happening. Must be 18. Just like gender reassignment surgery isn't happening in public schools. Wasted energy and outrage.
