rabble.ca is considered conservative, but praise the necessity of the Chavez revolution in Venezuela here. But this piece is pro Canadian. While repeating all US/CIA lies against Maduro to praise US imperialism seems like the obvious sycophancy that is a cheap gift to provide Trump in hope of avoiding too many more slaps this week from Trump, Canada still got a few when Trump was asked any questions tangentially related to Canada.

Carney’s cowardice on Venezuela fully justifies all US/Israel lies, including our far greater than Venezuela fentanyl distribution. The Venezuela control justification eventually morphed into China cannot control resources. This applies to vast majority of nations on earth who have more trade with China than US, and for Canada, oil or canola trade would justify same US action.

To the broader headline, to rabble.ca’s credit, they didn’t bs into a coalition of the cowards (begging for US support for all wars US has always wanted). The world as a whole has the power to collapse the US sooner than their scheduled demise. Canada’s role is as simple as stopping BoC investment in US debt, and pressuring our big institutions to do the same. No US arms or other purchases that have alternatives (Boeing, Catterpillar, US tech), but most of all foreign policy opposition, and military subserviency renouncement.

If Carney’s mission is to fix the US economic relationship, he is clearly failing by supporting US propagandized evil. So is Europe. Begging for US kindness, relief from insults/threats for the week, is far inferior to improving ties with China and Russia, in order to unite against evil.

It’s a great post, but “repeal C 11” is just the tiniest part of needed Canadian action. It’s also an American person problem.

Evil CIA BS as usual. Like Iran, there is no liberalism that will pacify zionazi fasicsts holding on to their lies. How many EVs should Canada buy when we learn that the most humanist response of education and job creation, to CIA funded foreign terrorists in Xinxiang has resulted in peace and proseperity in the region? … or should we cater to pig fucking demonic shitstains insistence that whatever the CIA keeps saying is the status of Xinxiang is the truth?

Canadian fascist subservience to US fascism can’t be the democracy premitted free speech rammed down our throats.

I’m all for supporting Ontario auto industry. But it should be through attacks on the evil threatening it, instead of Canadian consumer lifeline that would also free tax payers from subsidizing jobs that will go away through automation anyway. If neo-lib nazi shitfilth wants to conern troll over human rights, then it should look at recent US news, ffs.

Make DoFo go suck every dick in Trump cabinet telling them “please master, drop tariffs or Canada will be forced to exterminate US owned auto sector from ever selling another climate terrorist guzzling vehicle ever again”

A train collision is only the train’s (company) fault when signals/barriers fail. I did not notice any article tone that blamed VIA rail.

So disrespectful and shameful to suggest that I just need your mild exposure to demonic smear campaign with zero investigation into their sources or any other fact in the world to just make me hateful. I’m sure you just meant the disrespect that “I must not have heard of the smear campaigns against China before”

I indeed have heard that before. I think they say that to make us part of the alliance against China.

Negotiating quotas, dealership investments, factories, is reasonable to reduce tariffs to a “revenue raising” level, but also pressure US/western firms to invest more (without subsidy) to keep the large Canadian auto market access.

The irony of joining team genocide is that self defense means you deserve to be genocided. Racist genocide will increase racial tensions by design, and pet eating accusations are a tool even if stories debunked, and then masked non-uniformed fascist thugs scaring away then killing a white mom dropping off kid at school is a small price to pay to support further escalation to genociding the right people.

The bigger picture for politicians is team white/team Christian is performative for capturing support for team zionist oligarchy

Good riddance. Nazis belong with their kind, and hopefuly, but unlikely, Canada won’t contribute to more Ukrainian corruption.

He relies on many government contracts for the future.

If White men become a minority, we will be slaughtered.

The Zionazi minority survives just fine. That Musk allies with them helps with Zionist first rule over us. Not long ago, we praised multicultural society as a strength, that welcomed more immigrants to enter at bottom of class pyramid. A great benefit to business and oligarchy alike. Naturalize immigrants with citizenship status seem to have the strongest views against other immigrants.

While I agree that wearing a dress or identifying as a race should not be a job qualification, our laws, constitution, principles generally protect survival on the basis of race, including the white one. Replacement theory is essentially hate/criminalizing people for choosing to have a baby, accusing them of voting for future healthcare.

Musk, the most oligarchist of all lizard people, telling you to vote for the most oligarchist fascist party because that party loves white people is a lie, because that party loves oligarchy more. Freedom from fascist oligarchy is not anti-white. There are 1000s of reasons to hate fascist oligarchist supremacy other than the fake sales job that if you don’t support it, the black panthers with Shaft will revive to kill us all.

I’m just pissed that Canadian prices are higher than US when we don’t have tariffs on the countries making their products. I believe Apple is subsidizing its US customers with rest of world.

China’s interference in domestic affairs and election is strong not only in Canada but everywhere

CIA talking point. Only CIA is allowed to determine elections.

Just name one country that ever benefited from a ‘tight relationship’ with China in the long term?

The ones where the US hasn’t invaded or created a puppet government in yet? All the US colonies are doing poorly in growth terms. Those trading freely with China are booming.

China will use any leverage to bully its so-called ‘allies’ as it has been doing for decades.

This is a false accusation. The alternative is waiting for loving US capital and policy to be more apparently loving.

The only option for Canada is a strong diversification of its trade, particularly with democracies in Europe, in the Indo-Pacific, and elsewhere imo.

Democracies that are determined, like Canada’s, by the CIA. Instead of having “fake democracy” values, value countries that aren’t corrupt. The US colonies aren’t in the list.

local battery and motor plants with local materials would boost Canadian economy.

Seems like Ford and GM are blowing up their EV programs. Korea has good models. For battery plants, Stelantis/LG has started production, though Stelantis doesn’t make EVs. They are building for ESS. Volkswagen has started building a battery plant. Skyview 2 is primarily ESS too. Tons of cancelations though, and Governments begging for refunds.

may be quite difficult unless the government is willing to spend lots of money

The future of auto industry is more automation and less jobs. $50B in funding since 2020 could be more than $5M per direct job created, and then so many cancelled projects looks bad. The 2009 bailout was $150k per every worker. $75B in last 20 years for auto subisidies. At 1.9m vehicles sold per year, the $10B/year over last 5 years is $5000+/vehicle sold (without any consumer price breaks), which is ok metric if exports/imports balance, I doubt employment will increase. I’m sure another economic collapse will happen that politicians tell us need more auto sector subsidies

Getting to a more precise point, Canada has one of the largest auto markets in the world about equal to France and UK despite half the population. China investing its own money in Canada manufacturing of autos, robots with deal for Canadian supply chain and resources is probably Canada’s only future. It would provide much better value autos to consumers, and better value robots to Canadian manufacturers that lets them outcompete US. Canadian employment for factory building. EVs are better cars, and there would be no need for extra tax credits for good value vehicles.

Whether negotiating with US automakers or US government, posture should be that they need to make massive investments in Canada instead as compensation for past bailouts instead of weaseling more subsidies. Far more geopolitical tributes are owed by US to Canada. If they refuse then China, South east Asia, South Korea (a recent maybe), would be Canada’s economic future.

2m annual Canadian vehicle market is a prize that the world should covet, and give it to the highest bidder, instead of a false, for the future, political employment football. Instead of Canadian taxpayers paying $5k per vehicle, auto buyers could save $5-$15k on vehicles with lower insurance rates, and lower taxi/uber rates due to lower capital and fuel/maintenance costs.

exactly the lameness and baseless destructive denial of reality that is US shilling and support for US aggression against Canada.

Russia is showing just as embarassing cowardice vs US as Canada is. One explanation for not sinking US Carribean fleet, or destroying US bases in UK is that they are receiving other concessions from US. It’s quite possible for Canada and Europe to be on the menu while 3 powers are at dinner table. Canada’s devotion to be on the US’s plate destroys any option to escape being eaten. US colonies switching alliance towards neutrality towards Russia instead of US subservience is only path to stopping the US, because it is the only path to counterbalance in western hemisphere.

Our truly demonic warmongering lies support for war on Russia is suicidal. Ukraine is a 100% US puppeted Ukraine war provocation, and the people who tell you otherwise, hate you and march you to your death. OP suggests the absurdity of a coalition of the cowardly food. When it has been so easy to divide the cowards into individual stronger submission to the US.

Step 1 for a coalition of the cowards is ending agreement for US demonic lies, and validating all of their objectives, even when their means means we get eaten next. You have to revise and challenge the demonic lies themselves, instead of pretending we have superior values that justify a liberal supremacism that is indistinguishable from nazi supremacism operationally.

Pre-preparing… don’t buy US weapons with kill switches (F35). Stop the idiocy of Canada’s military strategy/needs as continuing to act as force amplification for US evil/ambitions.

By far the most important diplomatic/military posture change must be re-evaluating Russophobia. Russia’s narratives are far closer to reality than our propaganda, and our propaganda only exists to defraud us, not convince Russians that our values “are love towards them”. More important that the demonic morality of agreeing with every US warmongering propaganda in history, pretending that anti-Russia/China propaganda matters more than our defense divides us with the world. It’s that division that makes it easy for US to “settle for Americas” and give up the rest.

Preparing, together with Europe, means unity with Russia and China. Simply dropping the antagonism towards them goes a long way. It is a complete joke to try to bog Russia down in Ukraine, because, as always, they need to do the heavy lifting in protecting the world from the US.

The US is and always was evil and shouldn’t be trusted as an ally. I think you’re admitting this is correct, but calling everyone who said it a tankie, and so… “I’d rather be dead or enslaved than …”?
