Well unlike Trump and it seems you, I keep my word even if it costs me, which at times it has. That is personal.

So you think agreements are made to be broken as well. So much for all your bullshit about honour.

That it is.

Yes, it is due to be reviewed in 2026. It's in the agreement. The US arbitrarily imposes sottwood lumber tariffs all the time. If something is not covered in the agreement either country can do as it sees fit.

We have a trade agreement that Trump negotiated, Kind shows the futility of negotiating anything with Trump because he will only honour it until he finds it convenient not too.

No, he is resigning, the Liberals are holding a leadership convention and there will be a new PM by April whether or not Jagmeet props up the government. He is PM as long as he is PM and fighting among ourselves because we don't like him is self defeating. I don't like him either but the country is more important than any one person.

I doubt it, I think you did it all by yourself.

You just can't get over Trudeau even though he is history. Sad.

Canada was not part part of the Empire in WW2, it was an independent Dominion and declared war on its own. We fought with the Empire.

He says a lot of dumb things.

You really are an a**hole.

As I said, I don't discredit the contribution the US made but I am sick of them putting down what others sacrificed to win the war. If Britain and its Commonwealth forces hadn't held out alone, there would be no second front and no winning the war unless the Russians did it. Are you f***ing serious, the Russians lost 20 million people and fought the greater part of the German army. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operation_Barbarossa

With 7 million people, Canada lost more than the US did in Viet Nam. With 11 million in WW2 we had a million in uniform and were in both wars from the beginning. My father was an already in Europe 9 months before Pearl Harbour. I don't discredit what the US did but nor will I take their pompous bullshit.

The fight ended when the Soviets took Berlin. They did more and sacrificed more to defeat Hitler than anyone else.

The US came into WW1 right at the end and mostly because the Germans were trying to talk Mexico into attacking the US. It didn't come into WW 2 until it was attacked itself. Hitler declared war on the US first.

A nuclear attack ensures a nuclear response. Having only a nuclear response leaves one no other options if attacked. Suicide is not a good defence strategy, or for that matter, offensive strategy.

America looks after America, it has yet to save the world.

It will take a bit of time but sure they can.

There is a school of thought growing that Trump and his billionaire buddies want to cause a recession. The wealthy usually make out like bandits in a recession, it allows them to gobble up distressed assets on the cheap.

It might be a selling point for Trump but he is trashing his country’s credibility in the rest of the world and most of all with his allies. The US will never be trusted again because they now know the US can’t be trusted.

In the US, money equals free speech. In Canada, corporations and unions are forbidden to make any political contributions and individuals can only donate $1750 to a leadership candidate and &1750 to a individual candidate, per year, https://www.cbc.ca/player/play/video/9.6626251

Russia attacked Ukraine because they thought it would be a walkover.

I disagree, a strong conventional force reduces the likelihood of a nuclear exchange because it discourages aggression in the first place.

Sweden has a well developed defence industry and builds most of its own stuff. Aircraft, ships, artillery etc. Finland is buying F-35's but most of their equipment is also European sourced, tanks, ships etc.
