So are we gonna get a TACO pool going... everyone bet which day Trump caves and winner takes all.
Our leaderships tried appeasement and appeal to "fortress Can-Am". Maybe they are all paid/programmed to be loyal CIA colonists, and had to at least try keeping the same political capital that brought them to leadership. Fine, we are open to joining EU in context of CIA colonies and NATO subservience, with absurd 5% of GDP spent primarily on US weapons, but that EU proposition must change.
Yes, Canada, EU, and Asian colonies should coordinate on US war against them. It has to be in the context of an alliance with China against the US, or the serious threat of that as a negotiation stance, and full detente with China until negotiations are successful. Removing US from NATO, Council of Americas, and NORAD or charging them significant rent for any bases/presence/services. We must end the US project of a proxy war on Russia, and the delusional fear manufacturing that Russia is a bigger threat than the US, that we only make true through US programed suicidal hatred towards Russia. Joining EU for purposes of distracting population that a war on Russia is more important than economic collapse, just because political power can be rallied behind instead of rejected as cause of collapse, it a bad reason to join EU.
Carney's "The special relationship with US is over" has to be followed up with different behaviour than begging to be a more subservient colony. Maybe this is the final wakeup call? If not, just more abuse to follow.

"You will never be disappointed with the United States of America."
We're fucking disappointed. Every fucking year of this relationshit. You are an utter disappointment in nearly every way.
giv'er buddy, we don't want your shit or your business.
Meh. He'll change his mind at least 15 more times before Aug 1st.
Every 2 weeks, methinks...
2 weeks Trumpy time is either very short or never happens.
Oh, no! Empty threats. What will the world do.
Bring it, bitch.
I will never visit the us again. i cancelled netflix, prime, apple music. i use crave, cbc gem, and qobuz now. i installed ubuntu on my old surface pro and it works beautifully. switched to libre office. my next phone will be a fairphone.
when i go to the grocery store, if an item i want is a product of the usa, i eat something else.
I also cancelled and use the same services! Qobuz is pretty good, it has a lot of room to improve but it’s keeping me more up to date with music than Apple was.
I got Sync.com (Canadian) instead of iCloud (though iCloud is not fully replaceable). My backup server is in the EU because I use custom borg scripts, but there’s also eazyBackup in Canada.
I own my own domain for email, and I bought my wife one too so she can get off of Gmail.
Legend. I had cancelled all that but then Telus came in and offered it for free. So technically I have it, but I'm not really paying for it.
Carney can't decide if he wants elbows up or not. In fact, he flipflops so much, he looks like hes doing the chicken dance.
What are some examples? The DST is postponed as trade leverage which is still ongoing. I haven't seen him flop flop on anything yet, and he hasn't been PM for long enough to see how anything had played out. He seems very calculated and has been getting great results so far within Canada and internationally.
No I think he knows exactly what he's doing and it has very little to do with anything Trump does, despite what he or anyone else says.
He's handing our money to corporations and butt fucking us in a much quieter way than PP would have, but he seems to be doing it very intentionally.
So fucken true!! Really disappointed in Carney so far. He’s not standing up to Trump, doing everything in secret, no updates. Paying American companies for military equipment (night vision), not cancelling the fighter jets order, begging the abuser to trade with us while we’re giving shit up left right and centre. Fuck this!! But PP and cons would not be better.
doing everything in secret, no updates.
Do you think it would be beneficial for him to put out a press release saying what aces he has up his sleeve, what the plan is to counter Trump's next move, or any other parts of the negotiations?
Do you think the Americans won't love to learn those things?
He should be making weekly statements to Canadians, I thought we were in an emergency or crisis and Carney get elected then clams TF up. Could be vague but he should be communicating with Canada and giving us a status update. Actually Carney should just fucking walk away.
He's a banker. He's on capitalism's side, not the people's.
His literally said housing prices shouldn't fall, even though he have a world leading housing bubble that threatens to bring down our entire economy. This level of mismanagement is how communist countries are created.
I suppose you're right. It's irresponsible to let him plead stupidity for fleecing us, when it's all very calculated.
We’re done with the US. let them Tax themselves into oblivion. We have closer friends now to trade with.
Turn off their power.
Cool, calm reciprocity. They Tarrif us, we Tarrif them where it hurts in equal measure.
For everything else, there are better trade partners.
More forest fire smoke down south then.
We need some fans on the border to blow it towards the US. Smoke turbines.
bring back DST and 3X it, fuck em.
Add a “reciprocal” US services tax on top.
Trump is named in the Epstein files.
Trump cut NOAA and FEMA funding before flash flooding killed over 200 people in Texas including two dozen Christian girls.
