Canada has been riding on the coattails of the good ol' USA. for far too long. Canada has also had free protection long enough. I find it amusing you think Canada could get away with letting American cities freeze.I know.
It seems like there's there's some connection to the current high prices of food and the idea that tariffs driving prices up for American consumers will be some kind of necessary punishment because...Canada?
As usual, it is a statement not backed up by any factual evidence whatsoever....just a TrumpCo. talking point that has been amplified by the far right tub thumpers.
Again, 43 pounds of fentanyl doesn't justify Americans paying 25% duty on everything they import from Canada. Like 85% of all their foreign imports of gas and oil. Or all the rare earth minerals needed. Or a shit ton of other products.
At this point in my life, I am so tired of America's shit over trade. Since I was a kid this has been going on.
Trudeau senior was instrumental in turning Canada's focuse to other trading partners when the US would play these stupid games and we enjoy pacts with many other countries and organizations of states like the EU that the US doesn't have.
All this bullshit does is drive us further away from believing we can depend on the US as a fair trade partner or even as a civil neighbour.
We are looking forward to Ontario pulling the plug on power exports among other things in January. And slapping countervailing tariffs on US products that will then make us once again go directly to Mexico, South America, Europe and Asian for suppliers and business partner.
And by the way. If the drugs or the 'illegals' are entering the US through Canada, that is the problem of US border control, not Canada. We have our own problems from the US, including firearms, prohibited weapons, cocaine and other opiods. For example.

If you didn't know, it wasn't Trudeau who threatened to stop the Canadian power sharing. It was the Conservative Premier of Ontario. Doug Ford was Trump before Trump was Trump.
The Beck Power Station is in Ontario, along with Niagara Falls which is the source of power for western NY and southern Ontario. It only supplies about 1.5 US homes that are along the border.
Both Ford and Trump are small-brained demagogues with anatomical shortcomings that they overcompensate for.
If Canada were serious, they would divert oil from their pipelines to the Canadian west coast.

It's cheaper.
Big oil companies bought up pipelines back in the 1980s. Most of the oil coming from Canada is produced in Alberta which is in the frigid cold center of Canada. American oil companies make money from the pipelines that route low-cost Canadian oil to refineries (which oil companies also own) in the US.
American companies also formed partnerships with Saudia Arabia's government-owned oil companies in the 1980s. Those partnerships own many of the oil refineries. Other middle eastern companies own the ports in the US, so they make a profit when oil is exported through US ports.
For example, US oil companies buy Canadian oil for about $20 less per barrel. They transport it from Alberta in their pipelines to their refineries on the Gulf Coast, refine it and sell it for massive profits.

We do ship to the coast, but then it has to go by freighter.
As for the power shutdown, right now you would find Ontarians solidly behind the plan.
And Quebec supplies a lot of power to the northeast grid as well.

What the actual fuck does this even mean? What free protection? The US doesn't have bases on our soil.
Just more ridiculously uninformed far right wing nonsense.
But it is telling that the narrative down there in the MAGA south is developing along these lines. All as pretext.

''Canada faces pressure at Nato summit for riding on 'coattails''
Nato allies pressure Canada to step up spending at Washington summit
Canada lags behind its commitment to spend 2% of its GDP on its military and allies have taken notice.

Canada has vast resources that other countries would love to have. Canada does not have the military to protect them.

The greatest threat we have as a NATO member right now increasingly appears to be from the United States.
But there is no 'free' ride. Just because we don't yet spend the 2% target doesn't mean that we spend nothing. In fact Canada spends more per capita than some of the other NATO members. We actually spend about the same amount as Germany, in fact....and Germany literally has US bases there.
The article notes that Canada is also seventh out of 32 NATO countries in military spending....so we are hardly deadbeat.
And to be blunt, the whole country would have to be in the military to protect all of our coastlines and borders.
The US politicians want Cananda spend lots more to buy American weapons and ammunition, so whining from Washington really counts for shit.
What Canada should have done was not scrap the Avro Arrow way back when the Pentagon and the US forced us to in return for protecting their own fighter plane industries. Because we would have been stronger and more self-reliant all this time.

Totally. And this is on Alberta and the Canadian oil companies for ever trusting in the deals for pipelines to carry our oil.
Again largely because of the influence of the American oil companies and the idea that trade deals are worth the paper they are printed on.
Trump has proven before and is now proving again that Canada can't trust the US on trade. Again time for us to shift back to a horizontal trade and security scenario where we leverage our ties with Britain, the EU and Asian countries as well as Mexico and South America.

One of those coastlines is actually developing into a larger coastline because of climate change. Most Americans are completely ignorant of the battle going on between Russia and Canada over the Northwest Passage.
Because American Mercator maps put the United States in the center of the world, most Americans don't realize that Canada has a very long and highly contested border with Russia. Nor do most Americans realize how close the north shore of Alaska is to Russia because they only see the Bering Strait from the equatorial map.
Canada has allowed the US to dominate the agenda for NATO. Perhaps this is an opportunity for Canada to become more vocal and influential on NATO policy.

The problem that we see is that Trump will make a deal to allow rrrZZZia the contested zone as long as he and his oligarch buddies get a piece of the action.
Trump doesn't care about the security of the US.
His insistent calls to pull US out of NATO is a clear indication of this.
Which also makes the calls for Canada to spend billions more on coastal defense or 2% of GDP such a joke. If the US is out of NATO...why the fuck would we give a fuck?
In fact, given that Canada has a population equivalent to a little over that of California, our smartest deal would be to do a deal with the Kremlin and cut the US oligarchs out completely. Since Trump thinks that Putin and the Ruzzzkis are his best friends, maybe he's right and the need for NATO on the North American continent is just a waste of time and taxes. We have a lot of ruzzznz in Canada as well and I know a number of them in industry and finance who would jump at the chance to get ahead of the US trillionaires like Musk et al. Why would we care which anti-democratic kleptocracy destroys our state? At this point Melonia and Putin-esqa are one and the same to us according to what we see in the media.
Imagine how much money the US would save if it pulled out of NATO and shut down all the military industrial complex?

No. Not ridiculous. Capitulation. Totally serious.
The US legacy media is making it clear that it is on the side of the fascists.
Be under no illusion here.
The corporations have already fallen into line.
Their narrative will will entirely follow the TrumpCo. official line.
American legacy media is part of the final solution.
But ABC is basically a dead media outlet now. Gasping its last breath. Put a fucking pillow over its head.

The jury pool would not be from Manhatten, a jury from a non-biased court would make them pay a lot more than 16 million. I think it was a smart move on their part.
