Hilarious that Trudeau dodged a non-confidence vote by getting Mark Carney to be immediately subject to a non-confidence vote that Carney will lose (Unless Jagmeet decides to prop up the Carney government till October, likely)Yes, Trudeau intends to resign upon the election of a new party leader, serving as Interm Leader himself until the election of that new leader. Technically speaking, that's:
Your average White Canadian does not need to be raked only the Laurentian Elite / Family Compact class of Financiers and Useless Government Eaters (Bureaucrats) need to be raked.lol holy fuck, Donald Trump made the Day of the Rake meme a reality, based
Your average White Old Stock Canadian is already fucked financially, so I'm just hoping the Trump Tariffs rape the Laurentian Elites / Family Compact as much as they raped us financially.Is Canada actually gonna suffer its own great depression or is everyone here just doomposting since the country is already shit?
The endgame is to boost the party's electoral fortunes by using Trump a boogeyman and paint Poilievre with the same brush to stay in power. Similarly, the push the coronate Mark Carney as the new leader of the Liberal Party/Prime Minister to put a new shade of lipstick on the same pig. All of this is short-term thinking compounded by tunnel vision that afflicts our elites.I'm not really sure what Ottawa's end game is in trying to take the Bull by the horns.
Speaking from the Oval Office Friday afternoon, Trump confirmed it was full steam ahead on imposing 25 per cent tariffs on Canadian and Mexican imports.
Trudeau and Trump have not spoken.
The Bank of Canada also cautioned that a trade war based on 25 per cent tariffs would trigger a recession.
Doug Ford, on the campaign trail to win re-election as Ontario’s premier, delivered his own warning to the U.S. president.
“If President Trump proceeds with these tariffs, Canada can and should make him regret them.”
“Of course,” Trudeau said, “I won’t sugar coat it.”
“Our nation could be facing difficult times in coming days and weeks. I know Canadians might be anxious and worried, but I want them to know the federal government and indeed all orders of government have their backs.”
Chrystia Freeland [...] released a statement through her Liberal leadership campaign that Canada should release a list of potential retaliatory tariffs “on $200 billion worth of American imports.” She also wants to target Tesla, owned by Elon Musk.
The point, she said, is to “hit Trump where it hurts.”
The government has shown no signs of being willing to recall Parliament earlier than March 24.
They really do have Big Fish in a Small Pond syndrome, don't they.Some snippets that stood out to me:
Less trade short term, renewed investment to sell to other countries & make higher value goods internally, hopefully a few years of tough love resulting in lower house prices and less pajeets.The US is our largest trade partner by far, but a lot of what we sell to the US isn't exactly luxury goods (potash, energy, and oil) . There are obviously some industries that the U.S. would prefer to have in-country (like car manufacturing). We will likely see a downturn in the automotive industry, and if these tariffs apply to energy/oil, both the U.S. and Canada will be in for bit of a rough time. We don't really have the infrastructure to sell our energy/oil elsewhere. Similarly, it's not so easy to spin up a brand new power plant.
Just a guess, but I would suspect it would hurt both countries, but Canada more so. No one really knows for sure what the long term effects will be, and anyone who does is lying, either to themselves or to you.
The only people who work in those few remaining auto plants are Nepo Union hires. So fuck them.Less trade short term, renewed investment to sell to other countries & make higher value goods internally, hopefully a few years of tough love resulting in lower house prices and less pajeets.
I dunno I'm not really seeing a downside. I guess it sucks if you work in one of those few auto manufacturing plants left in the rusty horseshoe.
I think the Canada press caught a lot of Americans on their heels. Something must have accelerated this. Maybe a clerk with TDS answered an important call. Either way the current government seems confident that they can hit Trump where it hurts so I guess we see what happens. The only Canadian friends I have are hyper progressive so I suspect they're ready to go down with the ship as well.They really do have Big Fish in a Small Pond syndrome, don't they.
I'm not entirely on board with Trumps plans to just shove Canada right out the gate, but whoever is in charge up there makes it hard to be very sympathetic.
Perhaps they are really thinking this will work, but they have to think again. Every person that thinks with their ass end up shitting all over the place. (I refuse to say with their heart, these shitlibs do with their asses). Those who are careful naturally do it and are seeing the mess that will happen.I think the Canada press caught a lot of Americans on their heels. Something must have accelerated this.

The end game is for them to act uppity and smug with "democracy is who we are" collective psychosis at all costs, regardless of objective reality.Its really crazy. Trudeau could go down to DC right now and talk to Trump. The man is so easy to please. I'm not really sure what Ottawa's end game is in trying to take the Bull by the horns.
If Canada starts to collapse Trump will likely be forced to intervene because we have a very big undefended boarder and it would be easier to shoot the Laurentian idiots then build a wall.I’m torn. I’ve got enough of a Love/Hate relationship with this Frozen Shithole that a total collapse would suck, but at the same time becoming States… lets be realistic, 51-55 off sheer land mass, brings enough benefits that a total collapse into annexation (give me Rainbows, but I doubt America would tolerate an actual Failed State sharing as large a border as we do) that I can’t actually feel bad.
Least I have some leftover popcorn supplies from your election night. It’s gonna be fun seeing people actually give a shit about Leaf Politics if the Tariffs start to cause some pain up here.
