Let's redirect those key minerals to the European Union.
If they did he'd cave quickly. Look how quickly he changed his mind after China started adjusting their critical mineral exports.
The only reason he gets away with any of the dumb shit he pulls is because people let him. He always caves at the slightest hint of pushback (unless we're talking.about little girls, because he's a sick demented fuck).
I believe he taco’d also because Walmart, and other huge conglomerates told him to knock it off. Almost all their products come from China.
Tim Apple (Tim Cook) gave him that Golden apple plaque to change that stuff.
Read an analysis about that: it'll take years. It's not just a case of load on boat -> profit, a lot of the infrastructure takes those minerals south to the US. You'd have to build new loading, rail, unloading and port infrastructure.
This may very well be worth the cost and even starting that process is a strong signal, but it's not as simple as flipping a switch.
Like planting a tree. The best time to build infrastructure towards Europe was 20 years ago, the next best time is today.
You'd have to build new loading, rail, unloading and port infrastructure.
The sooner we fully utilise our ports the better.
The US is the largest market then China. So how is Europe going to replace them?
I worry nobody realizes he doesn't mean they don't need "Canada", the physical land.
He means they don't need "Canada", the country/government/people currently claiming hold to that land.
They do need the people to do the labour to get the stuff from the land. That's traditionally been part of the neocolonial formula after WWII. 😄 So we'll stay, but work for a pittance with no welfare state or universal healthcare. We'll pay taxes but get no vote.
" Controlled or administered by the United States but whose residents don't have voting representation in federal elections, the clearest examples are U.S. territories such as Puerto Rico, Guam, American Samoa, the U.S. Virgin Islands, and the Northern Mariana Islands. Residents of these territories generally cannot vote for president in the general election while living in the territory, and they have non-voting delegates (or a resident commissioner in Puerto Rico) in the U.S. House rather than voting members." This is why Carney turned down the U.S agreement. THIS is why Carney is standing up to the Cheetoh.
After everything else he's done to destroy their military he probably considers it a feature.
Wouldn’t the US proposed trade deal have allowed the US to veto stuff like this?
Yup, the entitled mediocre USA doesn’t deserve anyone’s business.
We do, I'll buy food from Canada and other Canadian products regardless.
