Seems to be in context of Afghanistan. While that can indeed be a turning point in Canadian militarization (Yugoslavia was still the same issue), the core issue with Afghanistan is amplifying US narratives that lone cave dweller is responsible for 9/11, and puppetting Canada’s military to US subservience. The military mission of serving US imperialism exists still today, even as the explicit diminishment of Canada as a lower pawn in that empire is US policy.

Via did add new rail cars on Montreal Toronto route about 2-3 years ago. Lighting is ridiculously bright and can’t be turned down. No obvious improvements.

Industrial base of US is all very close to border. Very active lobbying of those states to join as Canadian provinces should be made, making it clear that their entire base of wealth/employment is dependent on factories not burning. It’s not enough for them to just complain that tariffs are inconvenient to them.

Dressed this up as “Carney just hates America/Trump for no reason”. This started with absolutely a war on Canada with BS fentanyl excuse for tariffs and 51st state threats. Objective to destroy Canadian auto sector.

Canada has recognized its a war, but is not doing anything.

Ultimatum to abandon all auto tarriffs, or if Canadian auto sector is diminished, there will be 0 US market access to one of world’s largest auto markets. Pressuring companies directly, and seizing factories when then don’t immediately repay past subsidides. Closing Canadian market to US aviation, tractors, construction equipment. Far better value available elsewhere, including China. And no buying better value products is not dependency on evil. Forcing Canadians to buy expensive crap is dependency on evil.

It’s only this utlimatum posture that results in US begging to restoring historical relationship by Monday.

Cancelling all US military equipment procurement is a cherry to get US begging for a deal, and to restore our positions in queues.

The other crazy boast from Bessent yesterday was “US bonds have outperformed G7 bonds” which is admitting that US/Trump has destroyed global economy. Pathetic loser vassals just smiled.

centuries long reputation for bullying allies and enemies alike, that means making some hard choices.

My core issue with OP is choices to help/protect Canada must be framed in the horror that it could also help China, and harm the bullying power of the master we can only be allowed to devote alignment to their maximum evil. Editorials like this, try to force the easy path of going through the stages of grief until accepting the extreme US demands/enslavement.

It is a minimal quota so far. Only expensive models because of quota. If US goal is to destroy Canadian auto industry, with trade surplus in favour of US, then a zero market access for US producers should be policy. Much better value from Chinese EVs. And extreme subsidies have been given to foreign automakers to develop in Canada. The low quota is incentive for foreign producers to invest in Canada as a lobby move to not raise the quota. It is not, yet, a move towards China mass EVs. Australia has adopted this strategy, and much better value cars that don’t suck up tax subsidies is an obvious path to take.

Everything they do is with the underlying motivation to subvert the west.

Providing abundance is humanism. It will always beat an oligarchy enforcing scarcity, economically. The dementia that abundance for their people and world, and profits that come from helping world is “to subvert the west” is pure oligarchist BS lies meant for dumb people to hope their patriotic oligarchists love them as much as the ads and politicians claim they love them.

This is pure demonic nazi Canadian establishment platformed propaganda for the purpose of enslaving and oppressing Canadians, and their minds, into the only permissible negotation alternative: Begging only the US for survival. Demonic propaganda of the last 20-75 years must frame your political allegiances. There is no direct US threat, and no future direct US threat, that should ever move you from ultimate devotion to overarching US demonic naziism. No participation by Canada in any future multipolar global order, but especially not permitting Canadians to reconsider nazi US/Israel supremacy as “Canadian values”.

Less than 1% of Canada’s GDP?

I could spend 1% of my income trying to find a bear to poke a stick in its butt. It would not improve my prosperity, and questions over my mental health would abound. Nazi colonical service to US and to hating its enemies is only part of the issue in the stupidity. The rest comes from the standing ovations our parliament gives to the hateful nazi populist ideology that fled war crimes punishments by fleeing to Canada.

after the Hitler-Stalin alliance broke apart.

so sad. evil instead of stupid, obviously.

It’s in the hard column specifically because bodysnatchers normalizes spending our money to harm Russia over preserving Canada. Some scum are supposedly pro Ukrainians and can’t identify the prosperity path for Ukrainians, instead of pro Ukrainian rulership bribery plan that most of the online hasbara stems from.

That’d disincentivize them from buying Canadian.

export tariffs until at least mid terms affects US cost of living. There is a high shortage of diesel that requires Canadian crude, and even shortage of electricity/potash. (Those are the sectors export tariffs should apply) Pressure AB to put liquor ban, ffs

I oppose the monarchy and the Canadian political system.

Another solution would be A constitutional convention with any provinces and states that want to show up with goal of making a constitution in the process. Making a new country, or the threat of doing so, is a good discussion to include DNC on when they are facing rigged elections in 2 months.

Kim/Putin gang are buddies with Trump.

The nazi mainstream brainwashing is absurd on these points. Going so far as threats to Greenland are to gift it to Russia. US actively supporting Ukrainian terrorism on Russian oil for its own oligarchy. The main point is that our prosperity is impossible if we maintain nazi colony values of needing war against US enemies, while it is the US that corners the enemies with presidential concessions to them. What Trump has very successfully done is to isolate the world into individual cowards to be directly abused. Alliances with the non cowards is necessary to work around Trump’s dealmaking with them. The nazi colonial cowards all applauded “venezuela coup”, and will at best stay silent when more abuses of Canada occur.

When Canadian Politicans only hope is to return to a subjugated role in a unipolar demonic nazi “Rules based world order”, then decline/collapse of nazi master can only result in this lashing out against colonial vassals. The reaction of our politicians has only been how to lick the diaper more enthusiastically.

from super easy to controversial:

EASY

100%-5000% escallating every time fuck face opens its fuck hole, tariffs on NET auto (and any other) sector trade balance. This means that a US firm importing auto (and other applicable sector(s)) parts gets a credit that they can transfer to any other US firm making auto parts, and the tariff level is only on the net trading balance.

Export tariffs on energy and any other vital US need. This makes money for Canada instead of costing Canadians.

tariffs/lawsuits/DST on US megatech services. FB just paid a bunch of US states for minor abuse.

CANCEL right fucking now all US defense purchases especially F35. F35s are pure shit. US must be made to beg for a deal that includes restoring commitments. Response that a fucking dime will be spent on US weapons is unacceptable gaslighting of Canadians.

Open invitation for US states to join as full provinces.

MEDIUM

Ban Maga-Larry Elison’s version of TikTok for ByteDance’s international version.

Only Huawei AI datacenters should be allowed. These provide close to 50% cost/performance benefit (ie cost half as much) and AI services can be exported to US to bankrupt their AI bubble. Restore general Huawei market access as preferred (cheapest/best) supply option.

Directly threated US exporters/tech to do what is needed to keep Canadian market access. Auto sector has received absurd subsidies they haven’t performed on. Nationalization through lawsuits designed to collect refunds for those subsidies is part of the threat matrix. With China’s help for Canadian benefit not more tax subsidies, figure out how to provide value products to Canadians from those factories. Negotiations with US oligarchy is only reliable counterparty, but fucking them over with an alternative, is how you negotiate.

Nazi/Zionazi empire and associated nazi economic theory (oligarchist corporatist supremacism promissing trickle down if you give them all your money) must be strongly criticized, if just for US midterms value, instead of our establishment/pig fucker rulers clinging to hope of returning to polite nazi colony status.

UBI is key to huge economic growth/investment in Canada, abandoning nazi economics. Removing foreign worker ban is key to reducing inflation, while keeping housing sector stable/increasing.

HARDER

US only exists because of Canada’s assistance with NORAD, and golden dome BS. Military cooperation with enemy is a disgrace, and not charging the US for NORAD services is us protecting them for free. This is only in the hard column for actually doing it. It is extremely easy to blah blah review committee to study doing it and disengaging with continued US military support.

Better diplomatic relations with every US adversary/enemy. North Korea can assist in a nuclear deterence plan against more US bs. DPRK balance can assist in ROK auto industry investments in Canada.

BRICS missile/drone tech can collapse US industry, and collapse US economically.

Abandoning support for Ukrainian nazis in favour of closer Russia ties. There is an affordability issue to supporting Ukrainians instead of Canadians, but it is a nazi colony issue to just keep every US enemy as our own.

International pressure to remove US from UN and NATO. Coordination for the purpose of collapsing the US government/economy, fleeing its debt and capital markets. The condemnation of nazi/zionaziism should be followed by economic consequences for midterms defined as defending nazi supremacism.

The core problem with Canadian response to first round of tariffs was to just gaslight inaction and wait around for more BS.

We pay huge costs as colonial servant. Trade is not “benefits of a state”. Trade balance has been mostly even for years, and in US favour if you exclude resources that US/Trump has never wanted to tariff on anyone. Making Canada poorer and hostile does not help the US, and means less jobs and sales for both.

Buying the best value product is not influence. Sticking to worst product from direct real enemy convincingly trying to destroy you is influence. Ideological reasons is influence. Continued military cooperation with enemy is influence.

Dementia is very significantly advanced. A Narcisist liar forcing all minions to believe his own lies transitions to dementia by total absurdity of the lies, and strategy delusions to win anything.

The bad: SAVE voter rigging act where his hick redneck base don’t have the airport IDs they would need to vote, to falling for Netanyahu manipulation into a collapsing war

The ugly: Pushing South Korea and Canada away through absurd demands from joining the war (US desperation for SK weapons they are untrained on) to formalizing colonial subjugation before ink is even dry on other concessions.

The pure dementia: 20% toll/tariff on all shipping through SoH. SoH is US territory. “Economic D-day but details come later” against entire world. Blockade certain to destroy economy prior to mid terms in addition to risking more direct alliances with Iran and against the US, and certain to unify Iran to wait for his impeachment.

Canada/Carney should have discussions directly with auto makers, Deere, Caterpillar, Boeing to discuss what they can do to keep Canadian market access. Auto sales in Canada were the same level as UK and France, despite half the population in 2024. Competition to Deere/Caterpillar for China is 10x better value.

On AI, Ford said something stupid about if Ontario doesn’t build them, then Trump will. Huawei has a 50% cost advantage over Nvidia, and there are plenty of open models optimized for it. These models can be tuned for Canada if they need be, but the point would be that serving open models at low latency to Americans and Canadians is good competition to US.

Norad is how the US survives only thanks to Canadian cooperation. Canada has been very weak in continuing military integration, and “values”, with the US. It’s time for US to pay their fair share for our assistance in their survival.

send your roadkill penises to Ford, now, so he can pause datacenters.

Ontario is facing extreme 30c/kwh electricity rates starting in 2027, due to nuclear refurbishments, but most of it is paid for with taxpayer debt. OPG, generally gets to charge rate payers for network expansion, so ensuring all those costs are paid by datacenter would be minimum.

It’s unclear if this would raise or lower rates for rate/tax payers. Rates are extreme due to less than full capacity utilization, and the other condition for datacenters would be that they pay the full unsubsizized rate (30c/kwh) and get cut off during scarcity events.

wth, is the connection to Trump? He will raise tarriffs more if Ford refuses?

Willowdale, rn, at 474. 200 points higher than “official city reading”. Detroit has a 908 reading. I think that is 1/1000th smoke to air ratio.

, Carney’s MOU with Alberta calls for Carbon Capture and Storage (CCS), purportedly to ameliorate environmental damage. But this is still a very costly, unproven technology. In Saskatchewan it has only achieved 60 per cent efficiency

Ccs is a scam. Cheaper energy than coal can be achieved 10 months of the year, in canada, with coal plant as backup. Much lower emissions than 60% capture, and bigger negative of ccs is that it costs 10$ per watt. Ballpark of nuclear plants. Solar + batteries is $1 per watt.
