What’s that? You want to abandon ship? America has more work than it can handle. Agree to Puerto Rico status for a period of time and you get immediate fix to all your troubles. https://finance.yahoo.com/economy/articles/most-vulnerable-ve-ever-ford-104500815.html

You get Puerto Rico status for 25 years and then petition for statehood. In exchange, we’ll convert your currency into USD and no more tariff and lower taxes. Along with all the American infrastructure investment that would pour into Canada.

You mean the democracy that democratically elected orange man, twice!? Oh don’t like it? Guess it’s not a democracy then is how it works? America is a constitutional republic not a mob rule. You do know the silent majority isn’t swayed by the CBC yeah?

Claude AI says you’re all a bunch of hungry hungry hypocrites. And if you disagree, quit watching American TV show all winter go do some Canadian thing you call hockey… oh wait. “The Irony The Toronto urbanite is probably more vocally insistent that Canada is distinct from America, yet lives a life saturated in American media, works in a continental economy, and shops at the same chains. The Albertan may be less ideologically invested in Canadian distinctness, yet their community fabric — church, land, resource work, tight-knit small towns — is in some ways more locally rooted and less cosmopolitan than Toronto. So the relationship with American identity ends up being almost inverted from what you’d expect: the person loudest about Canadian distinctness is most integrated into a globalized North American lifestyle, while the person most culturally similar to Americans is often least bothered by the comparison.“

Can and have for awhile now, called the H1b Visa. Second gen do the best actually, best of both world, has the necessity driven goal and citizenship status to make it happen. That's a Canada problem with the one party rule and all.

It’s cyclical, open and close. Has been like that for awhile. So yes eventually the borders will open again. The question is what kind of immigration does America want and/or need? Do we need more low skill labor kept as non citizens or do we want high end workers to compete and suppress wages for Americans but keeping labor cost low? That conversation hasn’t happened yet and it needs to.

Look, I get it, you’re all butt hurt from not being able to masquerade as Canadians, but this is reality, you live on the North American continent and that makes you an American state, economically and culturally. What you should take from that is an incentive, formally acknowledged your disposition as Americans, become an incorporated territory and all the good things will flow your way again.

China and SK would be an irradiated moonscape were it not for American intervention okay.

What the hell is a Canadian anyways?

How did you find out. You caught us… next on the agenda is work place restrictions on women. All part of the plan.

Not exactly, only sub Saharan Africa has above replacement birth rates. That’s a whole other discussion. South America is mostly sub replacement with a few at replacement.

Look I get it, you’re all butt hurt America is taking a step back from its international interest. But that’s the thing, America no longer has international interest outside of the western hemisphere. Seriously, why should we care when Europe and Asia are both in decline.

Lol wut? China is the most reliant on Middle East access. Guess who is gate keeper? The deadliest fighting force in human history.

Hmmm what’s that you’re suggesting we take Greenland rare earth by force and while we’re at it Canada too? That’s a brilliant idea. If only public figure thought of that… be careful what you sneer about.

Worse, they’re all looking at National collapse with sub replacement birth rate.

US-Sino relationship is not the same 50 years ago as it is today. Today is earmarked by managed competition and decline. We know China is in demographic decline , we know they are trying to make advances in AI chip technology. 30 trillion of sunk capital investment has made China the manufacturing hub that it is but that’s changing. Supply chain is diversifying. America is pivoting back toward the western hemisphere. Mexico and Canada is our primary focus right now. Trump lives rent free in your head robo. Rent free!

There’s always a bigger fish mmkay

Mmmhmmm That’s how America feel about you Canucks.

Guilty! Of being bird brained.

@John Stone how do you plead!?

Deal

Wut? Oil is oil. You need oil for both products. A refinery can allocate more oil for one product than another based on market price. Which assuming demand is falling then production gets reduced for whichever product is lower in demand.

Oil is used for a lot more than just pure fuel production. Petro chemical derivatives are the foundation of modern industrial technology.

Domestic jet fuel cost has remained relatively stable due to high Us production and largely insulated from the global price shock. The same can be applied to petrol derived fuel should America choose to limit international oil exports. No doubt in a national emergency such a scenario would occur. Fuel are bulk cargo and requires large tanker to transport, if the open ocean becomes no man’s sea, rapid de-industrialization would be the norm. That is for any country that cannot source its own oil

Delicious yes, it’s countdown time until freedom for Alberta.
