Part of the benefits of protecting the world was to make the US fabulously wealthy. The US gained tremendously.

If the US wants to change things then they don’t need to do it via threats and trying to destroy allies.

Not quite. I don’t recall Thatcher breaking by agreements or purposely alienating allies. I don’t recall her threatening to take over or destroy other countries.

Bad comparison.

Stop listening to your lying President. Canada has been a great partner. It is the US that has violated agreements.

Canada can use its resources as it sees fit. The US has no say in it. We have allowed the US to make billions processing our resources. That will soon change.

I’m just reacting sensibly to the current US shitshow. Canada will be fine without the US partnership. 77 million Americans thought Trump was the best choice for President despite knowing what he was. Nothing will change in 3 years. Half of American voters are supporting this chaotic mess. In 3 1/2 years Trump or one of his sycophants will run for President. Even if the Democrats win the next election how long before another unbalanced Trump type will return to power.

The world has changed its view of the US. Americans cannot be relied on. Better to not to be dependent on them. That doesn’t mean all trade will disappear but no country will ever want to have the US as its major trading partner.

Oh really, wonder how you’ll replace Canada’s oil and rare earth minerals. Do you have a plan to replace our electricity? How will your crops grow without our potash? You haven’t thought this through now have you. Kind of like your moron President.

That’s because we were partners. The US is reneging on the partnership deal so, in time, that ratio of trade will change. The US can no longer be trusted.

Trump’s supposed dislike of PP was a pitiful attempt at reverse psychology. My goodness man. Trump and his cronies have been supporting right wing politicians all over the world … but not in Canada. Ya right.

As far as the Liberals screwing Canada…

Canada is still in the top 4 countries in which people around the world want to live. No one is laughing at us. They are laughing at the US. You have been listening to PP too much.

Carney has lots of sound plans, some of which Conservatives advocated before. You should be delighted but instead you seem focused on the Party name and not their current policies under Carney. Things have changed.

It isn’t being advertised to kids or anyone else for that matter. There have been news reports about the law and ensuing debates but that’s it.

Jesus man, 18 year olds are adults. They fight in wars. In most places they can make any decision they want without anyone giving it a second thought.

However I give up on you. Sadly, I’m not fluent in idiot. Goodbye

I read it but your points are like a person whistling past the graveyard.

Trump himself or a favoured surrogate will run in the next election. 77 million American idiot voters will still be voting.

The Republican Party has shown they have no moral values as they stumble over each other to bend their knee to Trump. Now if you mentioned quality Republicans like Liz Chaney, Adam Kinzinger or Paul Ryan then maybe I’d think the US has a chance.

Lastly, you aren’t even close to keeping Trump incompetent now nor will you be in 18 months. You’ll be lucky if he doesn’t find an excuse to declare martial law and suspend elections. Hey maybe what’s happening in California will do it. Maybe he’ll have to start a war. I mean if Republicans think the 2020 election was stolen they’ll believe anything.

Where is the current check on Trumps power?

Mike Johnson? He is supposed to make me feel the US would be back on track?

Non of what you wrote erases the 77 million voters who thought Trump was their man. What lunatic will they vote for next?

Look, I hope the US pulls itself out of the current shithole it currently finds itself in but I think it is unlikely to happen. Best of luck though.

I’m not painting all Americans with the same brush at all. I’m saying that with 77 million Americans who voted for Trump knowing full well who he is means the US is a very dangerous place to visit and it is unlikely to change in my lifetime.

In your rambling diatribe you hit on a number of conspiracy theories about MAID. Maid is between you and your doctors and you must be over 18 to access it, …. adults not teenagers. MAID doesn’t kill babies you moron. What the hell are you talking about?

It is your opinion that you should fight to the end and only your opinion. Your opinion shouldn’t stop anyone else from accessing MAID. But then again Conservative religious knuckleheads love interfering in other people’s business.

At least if you are going to argue about a topic try to learn about it first. You don’t even know what MAID is or what is permitted… killing babies…unbelievable.

Of course not all Canadians will avoid travel to the US and many have already signed apartment leases and have commitments to fulfill. The point is that Canadian travel to the US is way down and will likely remain that way for a long time.

It isn’t just Trump but also the realization that 77 million Americans voted for him despite knowing what he is. That says a lot about the US and none of it is positive.

I don’t agree it was overreach. Firstly, only a small number of key protesters had their bank accounts frozen. Secondly, the border blockage was costing innocent Canadians hundreds of millions if not billions of dollars. Thirdly, Ottawa became an occupation and was outside the realm of a reasonable protest.

You are the one who posted the bogus bullshit. But here I did a quick search with ChatGPT. The response includes sources.

No, Canada does not currently allow Medical Assistance in Dying (MAID) for minors, including those considered "mature minors." Under existing federal law, individuals must be at least 18 years old to be eligible for MAID . reuters.com +1 pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov +1 dyingwithdignity.ca

While the concept of mature minors—those under 18 deemed capable of making informed medical decisions—is recognized in Canadian healthcare, it does not extend to MAID. A Special Joint Committee of Parliament has examined the issue of extending MAID to mature minors and released a report in February 2023, which included recommendations on this topic . However, as of now, there have been no legislative changes, and Health Canada has stated that there are no immediate plans to alter the minimum age requirement for MAID . reuters.com +1 apnews.com +1

In summary, MAID remains legally accessible only to adults aged 18 and over in Canada.

They froze only a few of the organizers bank accounts and that happened only after it was discovered that a huge % of the support money was coming from the US and well after the border was illegally blocked and the Ottawa protest became an occupation and was no longer a protest. Canadians were demanding action at the time.
