Canada is a failed state

Our politicians willfully delivered whatever Americans wanted whether they knew it or not. Blocking several important pipelines into Pacific trade route completely demolished any chances of independent trade bloc outside of American sphere. Canadians did this for INDIGENOUS RIGHTS and ENVIRONMENTAL reasons....taking America's benevolence for granted, ignorance of Canadian parties destroyed any chance of leverage over American domination.
It's with noting the pipelines carrying Alberta oil to Central Canada run through the United States to Sarnia via Lines 5 & 9. Cutting off oil exports could also potentially cut off Ontario and Quebec to Alberta oil. Energy East could have bypassed that, but Trudeau killed off because of those reasons and to appease Quebec.
 
Ultimately, I could see Trump exploiting western alienation to his advantage. He doesn't need Canada to be the 51st state. All he needs to do is bring Alberta (and perhaps Saskatchewan) into the fold and fuck over the gormless bumpkins in Central Canada.
There are a lot of incentives for Trump to bring Alberta and maybe SK and MB into America. It cements his legacy of Making America Great Again by restarting national pride and disrupting old and broken systems and bringing America back to it's expansionist roots. Plus Telus Medical might sweep the nation and force american hospital companies to lower their prices in order to survive. And Canada has lived it's entire existence as a barnacle on America, it's time to make it useful. And the entire acquisition would completely overwhelm the media and leave it with no capacity to go after little petty things.

Plus it would be interesting to see the rivalry with Texas between frosty cowboys and toasty cowboys.
 
I watched about half of Power Play on CTV News when someone on the panel made the claim that Alberta Premier, Danielle Smith, weakened both the province's and the country's bargaining position. Excuse me? Trudeau outright admitted to Trump that tariffs would unravel the Canadian economy on his trip to Mar-A-Lago. One thing you never want to reveal in negotiations is that you have a bad hand. Trump is probing our weaknesses because this feckless idiot exposed them.
This is what I don't get. Trump has us by the balls, and everyone knows it. We even said it, and our response is for our Premiers to pretend to be the heccin Avengers and sign a piece of paper. But right now the Boomers are frothing at the mouth because they think we can punish America more by...restricting potash and oil.

I love that out Government is about to blow up the economy(Even more than they already have), and probably cause a famine because Trudeau is throwing a fit.

I think it's more than just oil. Everyone decided to put all their money in real estate and gtfo everything else.

I mean check this shit out. Trudeau government sold ALL OF GOLD RESERVE to fund whatever the fuck they were wasting on.

Now we are FLOATING IN THE AIR WITHOUT JET OR PROPELLER....so to speak....
 
Canada is not stable. It's rotting. The politicians have gotten fat and lazy on the unchanging votes of the people. Creating and voting for a new party is practically unheard of. Both Canada and America needs change for the nation to survive
Well isn't that the issue at play right now? The USA has actually voted for change and managed to get it jammed through despite the furious resistance of the establishment uniparty that is in many respects very similar to the one that exists in Canada. But unlike Canada, the USA has a far more flexible political system with hardened safeguards and distributed power structures that makes it difficult to corrupt from top to bottom. Which is what allowed for Trump and the MAGA movement to coopt the Republican party from the inside, and then use it as a bludgeon against the ruling establishment. An establishment that could do nothing against them because if they did they would break the legitimacy of the system they themselves relied on for their own position.

Unlike Canada that pretends to be a Federal Republic but is in fact a Parliamentary Monarchy in all cases, the USA actually IS a Federal Republic. This really needs to be thought about hard bro's. I actually don't want Canada to stop being a thing since its an intesely useful vibe check. America tends to navel gaze, ALOT, so having a big foreign country to the north is actually useful for a lot of reasons that are not immediately obvious. Such as giving front line beaurocrats and diplomats experience with dealing with a sovereign power they have no direct authority over as a big one. To more minor shit like encouraging citizens to get passports so they can "leave" the country.

At the same time though, Ottawa I think has a big problem on its hands over the next 4 years. Starting with reversing Trudeaus "Canada is a Post-National State" policy. If Canada does not have an intrinisic national identity, why WOULDN'T you guys want to start setting off fireworks on July 4th, shooting guns in the air and shouting 'Murica to the made up screech of an eagle. That is infinitely preferable to being an economic zone run by Pajeets at the behest of the World Economic Forum.

Trudeau's former secretary, Gerald Butts, who resigned in disgrace affair the SNC-Lavalin Affair is part of Carney's team. I've heard that his chief of staff, Katie Telford, is also making overtures. This will be a continuation of Trudeau's premiership and the only ones excited about this are the TruAnons who are frothing mad that Crysta Freeland threw him under the bus before he could do the same to her.
Fundamentally the entire Liberal party needs to be swept out of office so hard that they do a hard purge of the Ontario Liberal staffers (including Butts & Telford) from their party.
 
With this trade war that Ottawa seems dead set on waging. Ottawa forgets that Canada is convenient to do business with, not cheap, nor easy.
Its actually worse then that. Canada NEEDS friendly relations with the USA to maintain the integrity of its territory. The only way to travel from Ottawa to Vancouver is to cross into the USA and use the American Interstate Highway System. This was the catalyst of "The Honkening". Trudeau shutting down truckers ability to cross into the USA to deliver goods from one end of Canada to the other.

If Ottawa gets into a shit flinging contest with Washington DC, it doesn't just lose its cross border trade. It loses contact with every province west of the Canadian Shield. Its important to note. The USA allows Canadian Trucks to use the Interstate Highway System for FREE. Duties and taxes are only levied on final destination in accordance with NAFTA. Pass through cargo is completely untaxed. Which is ESSENTIAL for Ontario to do any business with BC and Alberta.

America threatening to levy a 25% tariff on cross border cargo will kill Canada's own internal market.

And it's literally Ontario's own fault. BC, Alberta, Saskatchewan, and Manitoba were more then happy to build a straight four lane Highway 1 all the way across Canada, but once it came to Ontario they looked at the mountains and said "nah even a dirt road would be enough"
Ontario is isolated from the rest of Canada even geographically.

Well of course. Why should Ontario pay for a complicated and very expensive highway through the shield when the USA was willing to provide the same service for free using existing infrastructure.

Ottawa discovering too late there is no such thing as "free". What is amusing to me is that even during the trucker protests both American and Canadian media never bothered to explain this obvious and manifest fact. Ottawa had the warning shots fired at them 3 years ago. I really have no sympathy for them now that the USA is no longer entirely friendly and is willing to yank the chain on the collar Canada very willingly put around its own neck.

This is the future Canada asked for after all. This is the future you chose. Pierre Polivier is certainly going to try and undo the damage, but the USA is not in the mood to play nice right now. Especially now that we have to start expending resources to defend our northern border from illegal migration originating from Canada's permissive immigration policies. The 25% tariff is the big ask, but that can be negotiated down to forcing Canadian Truckers to pay fee's for usage of OUR highways. In order to pay for more border patrol agents and ICE support to mitigate the crisis CANADA caused on our mutual border.

You can go east to west without leaving the country. It's just the drive through Northern Ontario is awful. The country ends at Sudbury and it's wilderness until Winnipeg. I don't consider Thunder Bay to be civilization.

With the blockade of the Windsor bridge. It was the main artery of trade into Ontario. Nothing was crossing into the states and nothing was coming up. Which lead to the White House losing it's shit over it. Which is probably why they felt the need to push the Emergencies Act so hard.

It was a bit worse then that on our side. Not necessarily the Windsor Bridge, but the Sweetgrass/Coutts crossing between Montana and Alberta. The Biden Administration wasn't just freaking out over the shut down of cross border trade. There was genuine concern of the US Prairie States like Montana going off the reservation and intervening in support. Biden was demanding Trudeau do something because the Canada issue was causing mutiny in his own country.

Its an unavoidable fact the USA and Canada are intimately linked.
 
"And maybe no better. There is no government in Canada. Hell, there's no God in Canada. Never will be. We are dealing with a people manifestly incapable of governing themselves. And do you know what happens with people who cannot govern themselves? That's right. Others come in to govern for them."
—Cormac McCarthy (Blood Meridian, or, the Evening Redness in the West)

Canada's relationship with America is like Germany's with Austria.

Canschluss (Canadian Anschluss) the future.

Both are made of the same type of founding stock. Even the Prairies are Volga Germans (Ukrainians) like German Americans.
 
american hospital companies to lower their prices in order to survive.
american hospitals are expensive because their number is limited by certificates of need and another barriers to entry. as well as a thicket of regulations that prevent competition and exemption from anti-trust statutes.

Even the Prairies are Volga Germans (Ukrainians) like German Americans.
i've said it before here but ukrainian-canadians were the inventors of canadian multiculturalism as a bulwark against the francophones.
 
I assume the Menzoid (David Menzies) was one of the 3 reporters removed?

I didn't see any Rebel News journalists thrown out, only alumni like Keean Bexte & Mocha Berzigan.

The others that seem to be caught in the fray and trespassed as well were beat guys from the Western Standard and True North. Along with a gaggle of unaffiliated journalism students.

I watched a video with a breakdown from True North's Isaac Lamoureux.

He claimed that he arrived to the event 5 mins late and the police were already perp walking Bexte and Berzigan from the Community Center.

Then he claimed the zogbot carded him on the sidewalk, called Carney's cronies then was trespassed himself by police on the public street after identifying himself and his outlet.
 
Kinda hate the fact that Pollievre is going to get caught holding the bag here and smug Liberals are going to pretend it is entirely his fault and not Trudeau openly shit talking Trump for four years and then taking his ball and going home.
Honestly i think everyone with a brain knows that Trudeau made Canada shit. the ones who think otherwise really don't matter.
