@jezscacuzz Canadian currency is undervalued based on purchasing power parity; CAD has 84% of the purchasing power of USD. Salaries would not rise automatically - that misunderstands basic economics. You have literally no idea what you are talking about, like all populist right wingers.
@jezscacuzz We would gain the right to be victims of mass incarceration: USA = 6X the incarceration rate of Canada. We would gain the right to be murdered: USA = 3X the homicide rate. We would gain the right to die from no medical care: USA = 4 years shorter life expectancy. Great "rights"!
@geo_fed@FoodProfessor@grok Canada has the safest banks in the world. 574 bank failures in USA since 2000. Two in Canada in the past century. Canada's Big Six banks + Desjardins Cooperative are 7 of the safest on earth. Canada is open to American banks - they just have to follow our rules...
@TheDeepDiveFeed There will be no defense cooperation - all of the US's former allies are moving towards their own weapons systems - nobody wants to be like Ukraine that Trump cut off after the Oval Office ambush...We need European weapons - they can be trusted, Americans cannot.
@JayGenXer You forget that we have a trade deal with the USA (that Trump negotiated in first term & called greatest trade deal ever) that Trump is FLAGRANTLY VIOLATING! What will stop him from violating the next one? The US is an authoritarian imperialist power - we need to de-risk & fast!
@midnightriderV2 USA has twice the maternal mortality rate & 1.5 X the infant mortality rate & 4 years shorter life expectancy. By any objective measure, the "quality" of American healthcare is atrocious. Oh, and it costs 50% more too, on a per capita basis...
@jezscacuzz USA = 6X rate of incarceration as Canada, 2X the rate of sexual assault & 3X of homicide. USA = vastly higher infant & maternal mortality & 4 years shorter life expectancy. USA = 40% higher rate of unsheltered homelessness. USA = 50% higher per capita healthcare costs. NO THANKS!
@mathieulem1991@FoodProfessor If you look at what is happening, Canada is pursuing trade around the world and creating shortages in the USA for things like potash or aluminum that they are highly dependent on. That is also realpolitik in action.
@McFaul Assuming he is not lying (as usual). At the Trump meeting with oil executives, they made it clear they did not want to touch this with a ten foot pole as Venezuela's industry was so decrepit & needed tens of billions in investments. This might be like his algae pond - a mirage!
@BrovkinVla97791 That question is deranged. The vast majority of ethnic Russian Ukrainians (of which Zelensky is one) hate Russia. It is their cities & towns that are on the front line that Russia is obliterating.
@BrovkinVla97791 Have you seen how Russian equipment has "performed" in Ukraine. To paraphrase Sean Bell, it doesn't work quite as well in the field as it does in the brochure.
@JayinKyiv This is the best advertisement for the SAMP T NG ever. The US cannot be relied on. Trump violated the Iran nuclear deal that Obama negotiated & Iran was following. Then when Iran ramped up its nuclear program, Trump launched an un-winnable war, burning thru US stocks...
@MrWhiplash_ You are delusional. The G7 is a club of high income (not middle income like Russia) DEMOCRACIES! Russia had zero business ever being invited in - Spain, South Korea or Australia, YES, but certainly not a terror state like Russia.
