Not entirely sure what learm is, but for all the tough talk you guys keep throwing at America do you honestly believe you walk out of this without deep scars.
Your entire population is roughly one sixth the size of ours. You are not going to win this and it is almost pitiful watching you act like the outcome is still in doubt. Here is the perfect little example of why I said learn its place. Feel free to correct me if I am wrong but try moving from BC to Ottawa. You cannot simply pack up and go without being hounded by provincial bureaucrats every step of the way. That car you have owned for five years gets taxed all over again by Ottawa the second you cross the line. That is the reality of the country you live in. It comes off exactly like an entitled child throwing a tantrum because it cannot make the varsity team. Canadians need to start voting for what is actually best for their country instead of just picking whatever will piss off Trump the most. Elbows up sounds adorable until you remember your own government has buried you under forests of red tape while you sit on some of the richest resources on the planet. Canada has real potential yet you keep letting your leaders keep you dependent and looking for handouts. Until you build an economy strong enough to stand on equal footing the strangers you rely on for protection and economic stability will always be able to hit you whenever they feel like it. You do not like what Trump is doing. Fine. Then stop the crying and actually compete instead of pretending you belong in the same arena. Until that day arrives your only option is to learn its place.
Let me straighten this out so nobody pretends they did not hear me.
I am not bashing Canadians. I am not coming after people standing up for their country their jobs or their future. Respect to that. What I am bashing is your leadership. Specifically your prime minister.
I personally believe Mark Carney does not have the average Canadian citizen best interest at heart. The man is a corporate stooge. Brookfield stock has gone up in value since he took office. Canadian GDP has gone down. You cannot say that about Trump. And while we are comparing notes how many government contracts do Trump corporations actually hold in America? Brookfield has been given multiple Canadian government contracts.
Canada sits on some of the greatest natural resources known to man energy minerals timber and your government still will not let you fully export or develop them. Why? Climate. Same playbook as the DNC. They need the boogeyman. Their policies are shit and if they did not have Trump to point at every time something goes wrong they would already be voted out of office. I do not think your Conservative leader would be much better either for the record.
I do not want Canadians to hurt. I am not out here praying for pain for its own sake. I want your government to pull its head out of its ass and actually do the job for the Canadian people instead of protecting the corporate class and the climate narrative that keeps them in power.
That is the distinction. Rank and file Canadians are not the target. The people running the show are.
@Microinteracti1@MarkJCarney@GrumpyNafoFella Then to quote Cornelius Vanderbilt, “shut down the Albany Bridge. We’re going to watch them bleed.” As an American, the Canadian government needs to learn its place, and I pray Trump makes the Canadian economy bleed.
@BlueGeorgia Sweet summer child. Where was that mentality when it came to the border? Or welfare reform, or when it comes to ending waste, fraud, and abuse?
Oh? It’s only when it’s not your party.
The International Criminal Court seeks to become the unaccountable arbiter of a new global law — empowered to prosecute and arrest our citizens at will and existentially threaten American sovereignty.
We will teach the ICC the full meaning of American resolve.
@LeaderJohnThune
I have several direct questions
1. When did you embrace policies favoring Communism?
2. To whom did you sell your allegiance?
3. What price did you accept?
4. Since when has a policy backed by ~80% of Americans become optional?
Don’t have time? Then Make time
