Can someone explain to me

  1. Why does he think Trump the yaphead would ever shut up about anything ever
  2. What good are "bilateral talks" with someone that can't keep their word anyway ?

What is the point here trying to show everyone just how much of a illequipped, stay-the-course, liberal empty suit he is and how he's going to boldly going to try to "do the same thing we've always done except not woke this time and hope it keeps working"

Don't these people understand that the US is only good at one thing and it's eating liberal banking stiffs alive ?

Are they trying to lose on purpose ?

You should put your stilted commentary as a comment so we can upvote the article and downvote your ridiculous hot take.

Yeah what an awful take. The pm says I'm not gonna waste time while he's making these comments. And op says what an empty lib threat.

Sounds like op wants Canada to join the US

On the contrary I think we should be buying enough top of the line ATGMs to give American tank columns the "ukrainian welcome" when their tanks are stuck in 401 traffic.

I am offended by how bad this Carney guy is playing the liberal "head-in-the-sand" "if we don't move maybe the predator will go away"

Obviously another excuse to give us absolutely nothing and let smol PP le poilus have his stupid slogans about housing costs while Carney gets tangled, failed in advance fake negociations with the americans.

He thinks just taking down the woke flag and cutting carbon tax is enough, he is sadly mistaken. In fact, I cannot believe any competent political operator could make this mistake. They know very well to bleed us dry and if that means the convervatives meat-heads will be the ones to do it, that's all right with them too. Either way their stock portfolio will be fine, Canadian or American.

Don't mistake my criticism of this empty suit as support for any of the other awful, do nothing political parties.

I followed your lead on this and re-submitted it without the pathetic commentary

I think the answer to 1 is that he doesn't, so it's just a good excuse to avoid getting pushed into a situation related to 2. In other words, the POV is likely, "there isn't any point in bilateral talks, but let's say we'll do it if he shuts up about that thing that he can't stop talking about" - it's just a way to pin the blame for a lack of talks down South.

That's exactly the kind of hedging their bets centrist bull that will lose them the election. We already know they are insincere and there won't be negotiations because even an agreement would have no value. Give the Orange douche a bloody nose right now, rather than putting red lines he's obviously going to cross and that will just make Canada lose face for nothing.

You keep saying he's doing it wrong without saying what you think he (or any leader of Canada) should do. How exactly do you want him to give Trump a bloody nose and what do you think the response from the US would be?

Forbid electricity and oil export. We can use the cheap electricity and cheap plastic, aluminium, steel production to undercut everyone else on price for manufactured goods. Then make US finance holding canadian asset squeal by throwing every trick at them until they liquidate to canadian owners at a steep discount. Mop up any unemployment with a massive housing building and infrastructure program. For the next four years, every productive investment is going to be free. Start that money printer.

If americans look at us wrong, ration potash exports, especially during planting season.

Also reneg that anti satellite weapon agreement and purchase 50x top of the line french launch vehicles, develop a kessler doomsday weapon thwt will make space unusable for 500 years, to be ready to launch the instant an american tank crosses tge border.

Make national universal healthcare because provinces have trying to kill and privatize their public healthcare.

That and massively boost trade with China, SEA Africa, BRICS everyone.

Not that I need to provide any solution just to have the right to point out the current bad, do nothing, appeasement strategy

Well Trunp has already wiped his ass with CUSMA, and his word / signature is utterly worthless on international documents. Carney should NOT sit down with fascists liars who can’t not lie. Even if Trunp dials down (which he won’t) he’ll just turn around two seconds later and start up again with the 51st obscenity. I agree with Carney icing him out. Fuck the US.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

Yes, it's time for the americans to enter the Find Out stage

[–] Mushroom@lemmy.ca 0 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Carney is doing his due diligence.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

painting red lines on the ground that the americans will cross while also laughing at us

And it will expose them as either invaders or people who can’t be trusted, or both. Either way Canada is under no obligation to negotiate because we have an agreement in place (which trump violated) and so were free to keep making deals with other countries while the US owns itself.

[–] interdimensionalmeme@lemmy.ml -1 points 1 year ago

The rest of the world alteady knows this, the time for signalling "donald please be reasonnable" is over. Now is the time for the Find Out phase of the american Fucking Around.
