Well…I mean, Canada’s official position is that there should be less oil and gas going out of Camada, not more. Japan doesn’t need Canadian O&G, Germany doesn’t need Canadian O&G. We know, because Trudeau told us so. Maybe the US is finally coming around to see the light that Trudeau told Asia and Europe already?
Maybe now some will understand why we need a full and united response.
Trump doesn’t give a shit about our energy or anything else. For the next few years at least, the US is an unreliable ally and should be dealt with through that lens.

Unfortunately for us, Canada is viewed as an unreliable ally when it comes to defence spending (%GDP and military output) and energy export to allies in a crisis situation (EU countries and Japan seeking LNG to which we said sorry no business case).
Are we about to enter the FO phase?

Pretty much what a few US administrations have felt about Chinanada for years. Canada is reaping now what it has sown through its inactions.
He is basically declaring economic war on Canada and is trying to make us bend to his will. His psychiatrist niece, Mary Trump, has been saying for years now that he has serious psychological disorders. What he’s doing to Canada is not really about deficits or the flow of drugs or people flowing across the border. It’s a personal thing with him to satisfy his sick needs to inflect suffering on others in order to satisfy his frail ego.

When you're a Vassal and you're disloyal, you get beaten. It's really that simple.

It is. I find it incredible that people believe this is just about Trump from the last few weeks. This has been a very long time coming. Trump is going to keep the pressure on until Canada changes Government. Also really simple.

Agreed, it will be interesting to see how things change under a CPC Gov.
Chinada is sort of funny given the Tik tok ceo was sitting next to the incoming National security advisor at the inauguration…
I’m all for cutting the cord from the US.

‘Funny’ if people aren’t seeing that for what it was.
Are you saying US is tied to China’s little pinkie and Canada can rightfully scold the US for its closeness to China?
Trump had the CCP’s/UFWD’s leading digital guy there to put China on notice to either give up its majority ‘Golden Share’ of TikTok or face banishment. Don’t believe or even consider, if you don’t want to. Heck, check whatever references you’re comfortable checking. Writing off Trump and/or his back room policy makers as a bunch of redneck/hick luddites is, I suppose, a position.

Beijing will help us get over it, I’m sure.
Less reliance on a power that can wreck our economy if they so choose.
Diversify and stop relying on a partner that can turn on us whenever they want.
Let’s never be in that position again.
So spend on defence and border but let’s find other opportunities. I’m fine with less America if it means more sovereignty.
Oh I’m sure they’ll try. Isolationism creates vacuums to be filled. So they will try.

I agree, diversification is a lesson here.
Wow. You really made up a lot of stuff that wasn’t said. lol.
I didn’t once call them red necks. They are however a threat. We should take them seriously.
Canada needs to insulate itself going forward.
A lot of work will need to be done. You guys are definitely on to something.
Get our energy out to tide water, tighten the border to keep illegals and illegal guns out from the US. Shore up defense spending. All for it. Rely on ourselves and not them.
