Canada cannot win a trade war with the US. When we are on our knees he’s going to ask for Yukon, nwt and nunavut. Saying basically nobody lives there and we don’t need it. He can easily buy out northern Canadians by offering lots of money or citizenship and the other 39 million Canadians will reluctantly agree it’s the best compromise.

He knows climate change is real and it makes the north more and more viable every day due to its resources and shipping route.

Another obvious hint at this was traitor Danielle Smith suggesting US military bases in the north just last week.

    Speaking of traitors, imagine how confusing it must be to still be a Convite. I’m assuming they’ve trained themselves to think watching the CBC is treason, but I have hope a wee clip might pop someone’s culty filter bubble this week.

    - link to 2023 pressprogress article for anyone not from Canada scrolling like, wtf is a Convite? tl;dr: timbit taliban

    Right on that there’s absolutely no reason to trust Skippy. He’s the face of pay-to-play politics up here just like Trump is down south, and he’ll do as he’s told.

    As for Ford’s sudden Captain Canada act, the phrase “as far as you can throw him” comes to mind.

    "God bless the President and don’t get me wrong. Full disclosure: I’m a big Republican.” - literally DoFo

    “The people have spoken: we won’t touch the Greenbelt!” - also DoFo, 2018. And he said the same about rent control, and look what came of that.

    I LOVE the sentiment currently coming out of his usually filthy gob as much as the next person, and I’m not about to interrupt him, but his patriotism isn’t something anyone should rely on long term. He wants American-style “healthcare” here as much as Trump’s people do, he’d happily sell any one of us for a toonie, and he’s CAMPAIGNING in a snap election he called to get a Stronger Mandate (his words).

    (btw - I’m wearing that tacky Canada Is Not For Sale hat, and it does not imply support for any political party, no matter what Murdoch media pushes on us. It’s showing support for our country.)
