Best they can do is give him a third term

Elections are overrated anyway. Even if there are elections going on, they'll be confusing and inconvenient to get to, and the scary news will make sure you don't want to risk showing up to the polls, that sounds like a really dangerous thing to do in this day and age. Even if you don't go, the media will tell you in advance who is going to win either way, so you might as well just let them go ahead and report whatever vote totals they want.

Sanction his properties and companies. Only targeting him personally will work.

We had the chance to overcome the coordination problem early on when Trump launched his new tariff regime. That was the chance for countries to stand together in a united way to push back. Didn't happen, and that has already shown Trump what opposition he's up against. If our governments couldn't stand together against the US economically, what are the chances they will be ready to do so militarily?

Unfortunally most countries are very individualistic

It isn’t stopping Trump. He’s really just a puppet and scapegoat at this point. It’s all his enablers. If any of them said no this would stop and he’d be powerless, but they won’t.

rabble.ca is considered conservative, but praise the necessity of the Chavez revolution in Venezuela here. But this piece is pro Canadian. While repeating all US/CIA lies against Maduro to praise US imperialism seems like the obvious sycophancy that is a cheap gift to provide Trump in hope of avoiding too many more slaps this week from Trump, Canada still got a few when Trump was asked any questions tangentially related to Canada.

Carney's cowardice on Venezuela fully justifies all US/Israel lies, including our far greater than Venezuela fentanyl distribution. The Venezuela control justification eventually morphed into China cannot control resources. This applies to vast majority of nations on earth who have more trade with China than US, and for Canada, oil or canola trade would justify same US action.

To the broader headline, to rabble.ca's credit, they didn't bs into a coalition of the cowards (begging for US support for all wars US has always wanted). The world as a whole has the power to collapse the US sooner than their scheduled demise. Canada's role is as simple as stopping BoC investment in US debt, and pressuring our big institutions to do the same. No US arms or other purchases that have alternatives (Boeing, Catterpillar, US tech), but most of all foreign policy opposition, and military subserviency renouncement.

If Carney's mission is to fix the US economic relationship, he is clearly failing by supporting US propagandized evil. So is Europe. Begging for US kindness, relief from insults/threats for the week, is far inferior to improving ties with China and Russia, in order to unite against evil.
