except in classic Canadian fashion, it's just a lot of talk, despite Canadian rhetoric about an "existential threat", there isn't any significant action, perhaps when the 82nd Airborne Division drops on Ottawa . . .

Canada is getting its rightful comeuppance now, particularly when Canadians realize that decades of deliberately dismantling the military, cannot be undone in short order, never mind that what is left of the Canadian military is totally reliant upon the Pentagon for logistics, Karma is a b!tch

it's only Canadian bureaucracy which slows things down, if the Chinese are allowed to do it by their rules, they'd have it done in no time flat, they'd probably whip up a high speed rail line for you at the same time

which auto companies are Canadian owned ?

there's nothing to join, since the Commonwealth has no legal standing, tho I would not be opposed to a political, economic & military alliance called the Commonwealth, contrary to popular misconception, no such alliance exists there isn't even a bilateral alliance between Canada & The United Kingdom, so when Brits & Canucks invoke the Commonwealth as if it binds us, they don't know what they are talking about, now in the face of Donald Trump, Canadians are asking "where are all our "Commonwealth" allies against the Americans ?!" but guess what, Canada ; you don't have any, because Canada has deliberately broken those bonds, as it is Canada which has insisted that it has no more connection to Great Britain. Canada is both Anti-American & Anti-British, so I suppose Canada will have to rely on the French feeling the need to defend Quebec Legio Patria Nostra

Imperial German Togo and British Togoland were not the same colonies

that's not even true Rwanda, Mozambique, Gabon & Togo are all members of the Commonwealth, despite having no historical ties to the British Empire at all

except the Commonwealth is not a political union, so there is nothing there to join

the border treaties were negotiated between America & Britain, yet Canada insists that it is not Britain anymore, that seems to give Trump a case ; America never negotiated a border treaty with the Post National State

I don't think Canada should negotiate with Trump at all, Canada should just put export duties on Canadian energy, while letting Trump's tariffs do the damage on top, don't even speak to Washington, stop lobbying them, just ignore them, start negotiating with the Chinese instead, learn to play hardball; America's game right back at them

even if the Conservatives get in, they will not be Anti-American enough to satisfy Canadian outrage, Chrystia Freeland is going for broke ; nuke the White House into the stone age ! that's where Canadians are now, the Liberals hate the Republicans with a passion, the Conservatives don't really have an answer for that, the Conservatives are still negotiating while the Liberals are mobilizing for war

exactly, none of us would want to live under the tyranny of Japanese government, Japan is as corrupt as the day is long, I don't think you would be anymore free in Japan than you would be in China, most Westerners are totally naive as to how brutally repressed Japan actually is

I am a politically agnostic servant of the British Crown, where the Libbies go "Post National State Committing Genocide!" I of course abandon them, if the Libbies are want to come back to God, King, Country, I will of course embrace them again therein, the House of Windsor is my fatherland

it's asymmetrical warfare, like Ukrainian drones against Russian tanks ; maximum bang for your buck

quite sure Beijing would be all over that like a fat kid on a smartie, they dream of having Canada has the entry point into North America, you know what would be funny tho ? you'd quickly have American venture capital getting in on the action too,

the cars they make are junk, I wouldn't be caught dead in a union made Chevy, Ford, nor Chrysler

so what ? I'm ready to buy one right now, at the prices the Chinese charge, I can afford an EV as a third car the Americans have stabbed you in the back, and most Canadians are Communists by nature anyways, so what cause do you even have to deny yourself a cheap Chinese EV now ? I don't buy union made American cars, I'm not a member of Unifor, they are not my problem, I buy Japanese but if you ever saw what the Chinese are offering for that price ? It's actually stunning

don't get cute, this is war, keep it simple stupid, maximum harm to the enemy at no cost at all to you ; win win

made by which Canadian auto company ? since there is no such thing, don't get cute, this is war, keep it simple stupid ; let the Chinese do the harm for you

we worked with Stalin to beat Hitler, entirely consistent with the defence of the British Crown when necessary

Alberta needs to do it too, the question is, is Ontario prepared to shock the American Big Three on auto tariffs ? like if GM, Ford, & Stellantis start to comply with Trump, move their production to the USA, does Canada have the aggression to drop the tariffs on Chinese EV's ? because the Chinese EV's are stunningly great at a very low price, Chinese EV's will sell like hotcakes at $25K each, the Mexicans are crazy for Chinese EV's, that's the sort of thing which will scare the Americans, beat them over the head with China's better products

last time this happened was Hawley-Smoot, Canada took the bait and mirrored the American administration, big mistake, since the Great Depression was worse in Canada than it was in America, Canada should be dropping all trade barriers not raising them, to retaliate against the Americans ; you put an export duty on energy ; only America pays for that

well that is the benefit of Trump, his lunacy is forcing everybody else to get serious, hence why I wanted him to win, but you don't want to adopt his suicidal policies therein, yes, America needs to get humbled, it's a good thing, it is good for America to learn a harsh lesson but Canada is already pathetic, no need to humble Canada from the pathetic state it is in now whatever way Trump is going, Canada should be going in the exact opposite direction

yes he is, he's a complete lunatic, everything he is doing is going to explode in America's face like a bomb

that is Donald Trump's position with the American government you can't escape that Canada First is just another case of Canada having no ideas of its own, rather it is Canada just mimicking the Americans again, even to Canada's disadvantage therein, right there Polievre should be disqualified, because he's just grasping at straws, oh, Donald Trump said it, so I am going to say it too ? Yeah okay sure, good luck with that, Canada never mind how you are saying that Donald Trump is an id!ot and lunatic for saying it, get your f*cking story straight already, Canada
