      The relationship isn’t dead, it’s just going through a tough time right now. Half of Americans never voted for Trump and are appalled by all that’s happened. They’re poised to take their country back from all the MAGA insanity, starting with the midterms and over the next few years to follow.

          Except the US is not one person. It’s a bunch of people, some of whom you can call abusers, others would better be called friends and family.

          If someone in your family is in a relationship with an abuser do you abandon your family member to their fate with the abuser?

        Maybe not “dead” but it is permanently broken.

        Also, get the numbers right. Two thirds of Americans did nothing to keep Trump out of office.

        The midterms have not happened yet. We will see.

        I hope they can take their country back but the way I see it it’s going to be long and bloody before they do. What has begun now cannot be fixed with elections (especially when they can be rigged).

        The relationship may not be dead, but it is never going to be as strong as it once was.

      What were the orange baboons demands, wasnt it simply that we end supply side management, and food inflation stops being the fastest in the G7?

      Who are these cartel benefiting, and how do I carve out my own government granted monopoly?

        The idea that Trump would stop at what he “simply demands” today once he gets satisfaction is so naive that it’s almost cute.

        Those “cartels” are Canadian dairy farmers. If you want in on the action, you just need to own a dairy farm.

        But, I guess you’d rather they all go bankrupt trying to compete with US factory mega-farms? Wouldn’t it be great if Canadian markets got flooded with US grade-b eggs and raw milk? smh.

          So were gonna do the opposite and let all our other industries get tariffed, because we want to protect a special group and prevent people from choosing with their wallet. Canada loves cartels and we love price fixing, we love paying high prices.

            First off, do you have evidence that negotiating with terrorists is a historically successful strategy? Because otherwise, I am not sure why you are suggesting that Canadian capitulation has any influence over US tariff policy.

            Second, who has had famously higher egg and dairy prices over the past year? The US or Canada? If the goal is lower prices, which administration should we be cheerleading?

            I will am pretty free enterprise but I will take “price fixing” over submission to an abusive and unreliable narcissist every day of the week.

            The idea that the biggest threat to Canada right now is internal economic policy is laughably disconnected from reality.

            How about some of us choose with our heads. That sounds like an idea.

            I’m going to assume you aren’t Canadian, with this shit? Because it’s pretty bizarre that a Canadian would be advocating for Canadian farmers to be put out of business by US corporations.

            Especially given the fact that our system not only protects those farmers, it keeps prices under control and guarantees a reliable supply of products for Canadian consumers.

            Meanwhile, the US can’t even manage their own supply chains well enough to keep the price of eggs from skyrocketing. But sure, “Let’s hand the whole thing over to the Americans, because well-managed supply chains = cartels!! Hurr-durr!!”

              Its not just our inflated dairy costs, it’s telecoms, grocery store’s, banks; now they’re even buying up residential real estate. Everything in Canada is an oligopoly. Canadians seemingly love it as well, as long as they can say its a Canadian oligopoly.

            Food sovereignty isn’t that complicated.

            Here’s a clue: an unregulated market will undermine your food security and sovereignty, and prices are cheap until the market consolidates around the winners.
