I think it’s a great opportunity for Canada to develop more partnership with Europe, Mexico and the rest of the world. USA is an ennemi now, a dangerous one, it’s time to bring this under-educated country to his knees. They need to pay for all the suffering they brought to the world. Sorry USA, we cant not friend anymore, you made your choices.
Sucks to be linked in when I didn’t choose any of this. But I get it. You gotta at this point. Fuck us.
I agree, but we should have diversified our trade in the 90s when we realized Mulroney’s us/can free trade agreement wasn’t going to last forever, and when it was becoming obvious that China was rising fast as a manufacturing powerhouse.
IMO, we should have forged a tightly integrated trade agreement with the EU and spearheaded the Trans Pacific Partnership way sooner.
We’re in the pickle of current events because we were largely complacent at the table of a global market that marched ahead without us in the ways we wanted.
The problem is that it’s very difficult to move from a trading partner you share a land border with to ones that you have to cross the world’s largest oceans to get to. Not just difficult, but largely undesirable. While national security might argue for diverse trading partners, short of applying extraordinary incentives business is going to go where its easy and profitable to go, and that’s the US.
Since the nineties Canada has signed and ratified 15 free trade agreements. But none of that matters when we have one of the world’s largest and wealthiest markets right next to us. Not unless we’re willing to take extraordinary measures to change that dynamic.
Yes, of course. Those things are also all true.
This as an Australia, I’d be happy to see Australia aak fir EU entry.
Or we could start a Canada, Australia, Japan, NZ zone akin to the EU.
I wouldn’t mind a new Commonwealth forming. Reformed based on looking towards the future of the greatest global community instead of the colonial past
We all decide to give our Commonwealth members populations a universal credit/basic income/whatever and enhance the ability to choose what to live. Become global Commonwealth citizens backed by the country we call home. Let us move freely. A supported migrant population taking advantage of seasonal differences in hemispheres
And if this goes down in flames… It will still be 1000x better than the current shitshow
EU entry
As an Australian, no way. Do not want.

50 States, 50 Protests, 1day
Feb 5 @ your state capitols
Pass the word!
Is there another place to see this? I deleted my Facebook last week to avoid all the Nazi propaganda :(
The hashtag is #50501 apparently.
That is possibly the worse hashtag they could’ve chosen and just confused me for a second (I know I’m not the brightest, but if I’m average then half of people would take even longer). Idk if the date would’ve been better, would have screaming matches on the format lol. Just seems like they’re trying to setup a franchise instead of focusing on a singular date and informing everyone.
Should be 10 days if possible
Do people really still use Facebook?
Moms and dads and grammas. Somehow they got there and now they can’t escape.
Is it downtowns or state capitols?
Well it is from the dumbest president in history (for the 2nd time).
If you are a non-Trump voter in a red state, especially if you work for the flagship company or industry in that state, I would like to apologize on behalf of all Canadians for what our government is about to do. We don’t want to do it but it is the only way to deal with a bully.
People, please don’t forget that they (the trump admin) redid the trade agreement with Mexico and Canada in their previous term. We are in this shit because they couldn’t even make a deal previously and still think they are masters of deals.
“Makes no sense” is the perfect tagline for the entirety of a second Trump term.
Does nobody understand the term “cash grab”? He’d play hell raising taxes on us to get what the tarrifs will get him
Dumbest executive in history, no surprise at all
I mean, here in Mexico, we’ll fight the fuck back. Our president is backed by almost 80% of us, if she says anything, we’ll follow. I don’t think Trump can say that, not even from his own voters. He thinks he’s making America great again, but his adversaries are having a ball: America is not looking strong, America is looking dumb, treasonous, fascist and alone as fuck. At the very same time, people should be aware that BRICS is now the BRICSEEEIIBBCKMNTTUUV. This guy is beating the shit out of his own creation, the USMC.

It’s the USMC-Agreement. And yeah, blame Trump for naming it in the most unimaginative, redundant way.
Didn’t they just fire a few staff members critical of Trump?
Edit: Apparently they didn’t endorse anyone.
The WSJ is pretty conservative. They probably endorsed Trump too, regardless of the fact that he stated, outright, he was going to do another dumbass trade war.

If this increasing shortsightedness means what i think it means, i doubt he will be capable of office for all 4 years of his term.
And who will remove him from office if deemed incapable? Would he be replaced by his vice president JD Vance who supports his policies?
Lou E. G.
That’s another question.
It doesn’t. Project 2025 is what is happening. This shit was literally all written down.
he will live to be 107 and will easily finish his term unscathed
Not promoting violence but was wondering if there is a deathpool… You know a place where you can place bets. A very specific deathpool. Perhaps someone can start this game as um…a joke…you know some kind of fun joke. A fun site where we can gather and joke about the deaths of dictators.
He’s a puppet at this point. President Leon is pretty visibly in charge, and I shudder to think about the smart puppeteers who are staying in the shadows.
President Eon isn’t exactly working in the shadows lol.
Exactly, he’s too dumb and egotistical. That’s why I worry about the puppeteers who are intelligent enough to stay out of the spotlight.
He’s definitely not a smart one 😂
Just continuing where his first term left off
and that the US had a deeper “piggy bank” than its trading partners regarding a potential trade war.
I thought the US has almost 20 trilions in debts?
Who bought this debt (US treasury bonds)? Mostly China, Japan, North Americans and Europeans … So they depend on the system, the circle closes. The US is the biggest importer in the world, and the years since 1945 where used for exporter nations to optimize and streamline for the American costumer. Breaking away from that system would be painful.
How UNLIMITEDLY DISINGENUOUS of the WSJ…
THEY blatently wielded disinformation to prevent Kamala Harris from having fair-chance,
but … suddenly … they want to be seen as having “integrity”??
They are every-bit as responsible as the WW2 Appeasers, & the Nazis who were “just following orders”,
& G-D can’t unsee what any phenomena in OceanOfAllPhenomena/Universe enacts, no matter what that phenomena’s “identity” is.
The 2-facedness/2-heartedness of such scum…
May their Continuums/Souls have absolute purification, … but not until this entire-world is gone, so that their Souls have to find “home” among some other world, other-than the world they betrayed.
( the alternative, tbh, is for their Continuum-purification to be sooo savage as to succeed in short-timespan, which … would be sadistic.
Purification’s mathematically-inevitable, as the root-guru of the Christians identified: what any Continuum “sows”, that Continuum “reaps”, aka Karma,
but the better way of saying it is that any meaning that a Soul emits, that Soul has no alternative but to reabsorb, until it ceases to have any Soul-ignorance in it.
The greatest monsters, … in future-worlds, … become the greatest saints: action->reaction.
As some True guides have pointed-out, Continuums/Souls are neither inherently-evil nor inherently-good: they’re inherently NEUTRAL!
Which means that the evil committed by an ignorant-Soul, exactly balances the good that that same Soul commits when it has earned purification…
The greater the Soul-ignorance, the greater the future-Soul-gnosis…
There’s nothing “political” in it: it’s just an impersonal-function of reality…
All this means, of course, that there’s no logic in my wishing for karma to be on anyone: that’s inherent, & my intending any such thing just makes my Continuum’s cycle worse…
but honesty’s a good method, & at the moment my wishing for karma to be biting … immediately on the worst narcissist-machiavellian-sociopaths/psychopaths … is honest.
I’d rather this world wasn’t being turned into the social-civil-spiritual equivalent to “Drano”!
