Too late to addOther: War is Peace. Freedom is Slavery.
Exactly. I'm not a Carney fan or voter, but this sums things up pretty nicely.“When the Americans stop doing memes, stop throwing shade, stop trying to be tough and start being serious about having those discussions, we can have those discussions.”
For the Trump Administration, it is apparently an insurmountable challenge, or so it seems.No Deal till the memes stop - how challenging is that?
As long as we remain a resource and service based economy, we will need trading partners to buy those resources and manufacture the machines and widgets we need. It is more efficient to buy what someone has already put in the money to develop than roll our own for many things (e.g. chips, fighter planes, subs). The trick is make it a co-dependency, to make sure they need what we offer as much as we need what they offer. But if not the US or EU, it's going to be China or someone else. We can't be totally economically independent and have the lifestyles we have now without trading partners. Trying to live entirely on domestic products and shutting out the rest of the world give us a Soviet economy and we've already see how well that works.Not sure how trading dependence on the USA for dependence on the EU (elbows up?) or
further dependence on (socialist?) tax payer funded subsidies will protect Canada's sovereignty.

But I am fine with the US being our trading partner PROVIDED they are operating in good faith, which this administration is not. They keep moving the goalposts and trying to grab more and more from us and others. Absent Donald Trump and his determination to dominate rather than partner with the rest of the world, we would not be looking at closer ties with the EU. Bring back the GOP of Reagan and Bush Sr. for God's sake (and believe me, if you went back in time and told 1980s me that I said that, I would be either shocked or embarrassed).

Not unlike Carney's "sovereign state" political bargaining (gaslighting?) that he continues to renegotiate in real time?They keep moving the goalposts and trying to grab more and more from us and others
You are clear on the fact that I don't unquestioningly support Carney, right? He makes some good moves, he makes some bad moves. He is definitely an improvement over Justin in a number of regards and I would happily take him over any current or recent Conservative leader (they've been dropping duds ever since Harper and I was never much of a fan of him for other reasons, even if I conceded his general competence as a leader and could probably handle him as a next door neighbour). That said, Carney certainly hasn't won me over as a Liberal voter yet. He was a much better central banker than prime minister. Not sure who I will vote for in 2029, but at present, it remains either Green or NDP unless one of the big parties puts on a better show than I have been seeing.Not unlike Carney's "sovereign state" political bargaining (gaslighting?) that he continues to renegotiate in real time?
