They are incredibly, abjectly stupid.

He came from nothing, born in the Northwest Territories, was smart, got scholarships to go to Harvard/Oxford. Got increasingly more senior jobs in his field, including Bank of Canada Governor during the 2008 banking crisis in Canada which came out largely unscathed, as a consequence - he was hired as the first non-British Bank of England Governor, and while he disagreed with Brexit in principle, he insulated the UK from the worst of that. He’s an economist with experience in dealing with two country-wide crises, which is exactly what Canada is going through right now - an economic crisis, not of our choosing. I’d much prefer that to PP who’s prior job experience is being a Telus collections agent, been in govt for 25 years and had never passed a bill. PP is nothing but a one-note grievance whiner.

I hope Greenlanders stand up for Greenland (Kalaaliit) and manage to keep out US toxic influence.

PP has not passed a single bill in 25 years in parliament. He’s never had a job outside of being an attack dog for Harper. He has no policies and no experience.

Don’t forget the CCB.

CCB was transformational

It is deadly serious. Anyone who "doesn't care" or "doesn't pay attention to politics" is going to find out the hard way. We must shift away from the US in every respect as soon and as thoroughly as possible. Launch a capital campaign of building out east-west, highspeed rail across OUR country (not through theirs and I know that will be pricy but we have no choice, imagine the jobs a huge project like that would create). Reduce and remove interprovincial trade barriers, enable Canadians to be able to work anywhere in Canada (like the EU but just in our country), we have to build up our military - no question, we are being threatened with invasion, this has to happen yesterday, solidify our trade partnerships with anyone but the US, we need east-west pipelines too.

The US military is not going to save Canada from the US military. The US would likely not even send troops until they'd already flattened our main cities with hellfire missiles. We would poison pill many of our resources though. It would be FLQ 2 electric boogaloo.

Oh we’re done with them jerking us around. Today Mango Mao announced new tarrifs but I’m happy about them because they’re on repulsive American milk. The US allows hormones and anti-biotic that Canadian milk does not allow. I don’t want their junk milk products at all. Tarrif that shit away.

Hi, you’re welcome. Just don’t wear maga hats or US flags. Or make fun of our country as being a state or our leaders as governors. Our beef is with Trunp, his supporters and those who didn’t bother voting.

He only knows how to blame others and can dish it out but. He can’t take it though, just like every bully that ever existed. He can call our PM governor and call into question our border and our sovereignty with the largest platform on earth but he can’t face the reality that they harm us with their guns and drugs and they can’t handle that our PM called him by his name, and not his honorary title. The US is a craven, pathetic, fash country.
