TBF that process should be scaled accordingly.

Give Trump the Nobel Math prize.

We should ask the Brits how making a "deal" with this administration worked out for them.

What's amusing here is that provinces could probably let their liquor boards carry US products again, and it may not make a tangible difference.

Lutnick would then just complain about how unfair the Canadian people for sustaining their boycott.

Polls show roughly 5% of Albertans would be in favour of annexation, and about 25% in favour of independence. It's something that can only happen via, let's say, means that contravene with international laws.

Realistically this can only be done with troops on the ground.

What point is there in talking to people who believe we should pay a price just for talking to them?

Do they not understand that time is not on their side?

Man, the utter hubris and arrogance of these people.

Will never believed what happened next.

Refs for this Tampa Habs game are just cowards for not giving that more than a minor. That was an attempt to injure.

Maybe it's just eternal darkness.

It's hard as an outsider to see all the signs at the RNC saying "mass deportations now" and think they didn't actually mean this.

Yes, it's why I'm pessimistic about the US if their right wing party doesn't recover from their madness, and to a smaller extent the same is true here.

I had the same thought about Hungary. Their parliament is now 2/3 center right, 1/3 populist right + a handful of neo Nazis. That's unhealthy!

I was thinking post 2028 since we're unlikely to have an election in the meantime, but yes.

Also, I'm not convinced that a post-Trump GOP won't be as threatening to us as they are now, but I think most people will feel that way in 2029-2033.

Yeah and obviously none of the bigwig economists out there will ever go to bat for Poilievre, so it's doomed to failure.

Once Trump passes through, I don't think it will work as well as people will feel the threat fade away.

I think it works for the next couple of years because I believe (and I hate to say it) that a lot of people want a Harper style government circa 2006-2010 focusing on the economy and little else.

That Carney was a Harper appointee greatly helped him in that regard, and why PP has so much trouble.

Him = PP, to be clear

The swiftboating smear on Kerry worked because they got vets on record to undermine his credentials.

If he could get a bunch of reputable economists like a Bernanke, or the current governor of the bank of England, to talk smack of Carney, he might get somewhere with it. Just him on a podium? Weak.

I can see the point point of attacking Carney's credentials in a Karl Rovian politicking sense. But the "let's be closer to the US" thing doesn't resonate with many people.

Yeah that's generally what I don't understand about his strategy. His tent is, both in the polls and his caucus, getting smaller. To double down on meat for the base makes no sense to me.

I'll never understand why he decided to do this.

"Tying our economy to a country that belittles us and has threatened to annex us has turned out to be a liability."

"Ok, but what if we tie ourselves even closer to them."

Canadians are generally angry at the Americans these days. Talking about a closer cooperation makes me wonder who he thinks he's talking to.

There was a very brief period of a few weeks in which Poilievre seemed to elevate his rhetoric. This along with the attacks on Carney's creds feels like the window has passed.

"We don't need anything from Canada."

Can't wait to see this enforced

The Greenland stuff would have never happened if that failed.
