  • Carney and the Liberals are far from being fascist. He’s what could be considered centre-right, before American politics completely destroyed people’s understanding of the political spectrum.

    He has socially centre-left beliefs while being somewhat mildly fiscally conservative. That’s a type of politician Canada has not had in years and part of why he has been so popular lately, especially with moderate conservatives who have felt unrepresented.

    Also this is not surprising if you remember who he is replacing. He knows has to distance himself from Trudeau’s government or he is going to lose.







  • America’s unstoppable thirst for short-term profit is why they currently have a corporate-backed fascist in office that is threatening to invade US’s (supposed) allies to pillage their resources and economies.

    Whether they do or not, the US as we have known it is in its death throes. They have surrendered nearly all of their soft power and made themselves a trade pariah. Entire industries are going to crumble as megacorps swoop in like vultures to devour the carcasses as the walls of their economy close in and the whole building collapses. It is in everyone’s best interest to move their interests and money as far away from the US as possible.



  • It’s not like Trump’s desires are a secret or anything. He outright talks about Canada joining the US almost daily, and throws in some threats about Greenland too every so often too. It is just how Trump works - he assumes everything is his for the taking until someone more powerful than him says no. The prick can’t even hold tariffs for a few days before powerful CEO’s call him and tell him to knock it off.

    But as pointed out in the link: It would be the last thing the Trump admin does. The US would quickly succumb to civil war as every member of NATO and Canada’s military partners swarm to defend it and the rebelling US states. The US, as it stands today, would effectively be destroyed.





  • It all comes together when you remember he’s acting on orders from Putin to weaken his own country. Some of the first actions he took were to A) Stop helping Ukraine to take strain off Putin, and B) Start weakening the US economy by angering trade partners. Canada is the biggest trade partner of the US so naturally we got hit first and hardest.

    But the US is the land of greed and maximum profit so they don’t actually make much there any more. Canada has a healthy internal economy that just got a big boost from lowered inter-provincial trade barriers whereas the US does not do as much trade internally. They rely heavily on imports of goods and raw materials, especially from Canada.

    Canada will hurt from this but we have materials and the world is full of customers, so we can adjust strategy and adapt. The US? They need to buy these materials and they just gave the middle finger to the entire rest of the world. The US will hurt so much more in the long run, and I’m sure that is entirely why Donald is doing this. Even if the US were to invade it still wouldn’t fix their shattered economy as all trade with Canada would cease and they would have to find a way to obtain said materials and send them south all while fighting a multi-million strong resistance that would likely be assisted by foreign powers. All while their own economy would collapse and internal unrest might turn into civil revolt or even civil war. None of the states that border Canada are going to want a conflict on their soil and border cities are so close together that US citizens will suffer too.

    There is no situation where the US walks away as a winner, but I’m sure that is exactly what Putin ordered. This is a highly planned attack on the US by itself, taking pressure off Russia and leaving the pacific open to China.
