How Justin Trudeau made Canada the Weakest Link

[bush_cheney2004]

Hard to ignore now....everything has gone wrong...except for legalized cannabis.

This thread presents and discusses the many ways that Justin Trudeau and his inept government has bungled things badly...internationally...and domestically.

Let's start with China, because that's where Trudeau's teets are deepest in the wringer:

Trudeau’s idealism has no place in a realistic vision of foreign policy, particularly since the finger-wagging has already proven counter-productive with prospective trading partners

Everything going wrong and legalized cannabis is what I voted for. 

Mission Accomplished.

Well, even the cannabis rollout has gone poorly, but we will still give Trudeau that as one of the few campaign promises made and actually kept.

I haven't had any problems tbh, it's a little dry like its been sitting in the warehouse, but it's decent enough, not BC Bud by any means, it's comparable to Ontario Hydro.  Pretty much one day delivery, so that's convenient.

My concern is not the houli, it's the taxpayer, because the Canadian model is gonna be a money loser, while the US model explodes across the USA and then the Americans eat Canada's dope lunch.

[Dougie93]

I mean, when you have John Boehner hosting the American Cannabis Summit, that's pretty much the signal that the Americans are about to go industrial complex with cannabis.

Not even the best dope can hide what has happened with China, where Trudeau has gone from a trade mission debacle last year to a full blown international crisis over the detention of a Chinese national for extradition to the United States.

Both China and Canada have escalated the rhetoric, which means far more to China and face saving.

This in and of itself would not be a mortal sin, but Team Trudeau has also made enemies of several other nations along the way.

Which is fine tho, because when the orders of magnitude economies of scale American mega LPs come on line and then buy up the dinky little Canadian LP's, you can still take those profits in US dollars at Manhattan.

[bush_cheney2004]

Not too worried about dope sales either way....Americans and Canadians spend more on pet food.

Oh indeed, it's utter chaos, and China is just one thing, I mean this is on top of the cringe worthy clown show in India, and caving to USMCA, and GM evacuating Oshawa, and so on and so on.

Love it.  Burn baby burn.  I have no interests the federal government, and I've got Ontario to run, I don't care about the rest of the dingbats, one dingbat province is all I can stomach.

I'm only long on dividend paying equity, I'll wait until these cannabis companies mature and start actually making money, cause most of them ain't yet

Ironically, Justin Trudeau's "feminist agenda" focus in trade negotiations is seen as very arrogant....hence there is no mystery to why it has failed to win big deals, especially with China:

The "Huawei Crisis of 2019" easily found the weakest link with Justin Trudeau's government and a so called China policy now in full collapse.   Not only did Team Trudeau fail to understand early on what was at stake with Huawei, they have also reacted poorly to the inevitable conflict that should have been recognized long ago.

Canada was going to have some sort of a Huawei crisis in 2019, one way or another. And it was going to be explosive. The Chinese telecommunications giant was on a collision course with the federal government, and it was increasingly likely that there would be an ugly and intractable showdown with the Chinese private sector that would trigger a telling response from President Xi Jinping’s regime – a response that would strike a damaging blow to what remains of the Trudeau government’s once-hopeful China policy.

It's not the Canadian government who is blocking China from cryptographic access to the UKUSSAN Internet of Things, no doubt the Eskimo Commies are the Fifth Column of Beijing, but this is simply a mutiny against that Eye by the other four Eyes, led by the Big Two, in defence of Starfleet Command at Fort Meade.

[bush_cheney2004]

But that is part of the problem....Team Trudeau was naive enough to believe that its feminist agenda was more important than geopolitical realities on the ground...and across the ocean.    The red flags (pun intended) were flying long ago about Huawei, but Trudeau was clueless.

I don't think they actually believe all that pap, they're just stealing the NDP platform verbatim to render the NDP irrelevant so the Liberals can rule the gulag indefinitely.

In terms of the MP's, I just think they are there for the cushy job and pension and to see what shady backroom influence peddling they might profit from.

Two Global Hegemons smacking them around from the highest levels I think comes as a complete shock to them and they haven't quite oriented themselves to what is going on yet.

I find it very hard to believe that a struggling "middle power" like Canada wouldn't at least have government egg heads and policy wonks to analyze and understand all the possibilities and realities in the real world outside Canada....informing Trudeau no matter how stupid he may appear. 

There are also private sector think tanks in Canada that saw all this coming.

I don't think these clowns listen to the professionals, if they did, they wouldn't have made their own VCDS into a political prisoner for giving them sound advice.

[bush_cheney2004]

Maybe, but it's not like Jeane Chretien is dead.

Trudeau hasn't figured out yet how to oppose the hated Americans just enough to get votes in Canada, but not enough to destroy Canada's economy and influence by doing so.  

His father knew how to do this.   

[Dougie93]

They are doing exactly the opposite of what any professional economist would advise them to do, they are doing the exact opposite of what any national security professional would advise them to do, so I don't see why they would be taking DFAIT's advice neither.

This is not Pierre Elliot Trudeau, this is Kathleen Wynne, who is a dingbat, who did everything for the purposes of influence peddling in order to perpetuate influence peddling.

This Trudeau Government, is a classic Self Licking Ice Cream Cone.

Even the "aboriginals" are kicking Trudeau in the ass....who hasn't he pissed off yet ?

Can't abuse me, because they have no leverage, because I do not rely on the federal government for anything, and I am hedged for their corruption incited  dysfunction to continue to spiral said government into the dirt.
