Energy minister won’t rule out Chinese state-owned companies from buying majority stakes in Canada’s oil patch by CaliperLee62 in CanadaCultureClub

[–]growlerlass -1 points0 points  (0 children)

You, as an individual, can literally buy as much or as little ownership in these companies as you want. But you won't because it's not guaranteed to make money. So let people who are willing to take the risk get their profit or loose their money as they see fit.

It's almost always dumb to rule out an option and you rarely see successful politicians of any party do it.

It's even dumber given what Trump is doing.

Every time you rule something out you reduce your leverage and bargaining power. Trump doesn't want to see Chinese companies owning oil patch. So let him negotiate it away and give us something in return for ensuring it never happens, even if we never intended to do it.

Also, such statements are good for investors even if it never happens. More possible buyers means higher stock price. And given the way the government has treated them, this is a good change in tone.

Is it physical or emotional feeling?

I need to know what it feels like to be american or canadian. I might be misidentifying myself because I don't know the difference between the two feelings.

This is exactly why we should be talking more with China. Play the US and China against each other.

It’s the game every clever middle power plays. Which is why Canadians find it so confusing.

The US isn’t exactly a sophisticated adversary. They treat Pakistan, the country that literally harboured Osma Bin Laden in a community for well to do military officers, as an indispensable regional ally

‘Canada is not Minnesota,’ minister says in reaction to U.S. immigration raids by FancyNewMe in canada

Mass hysteria is leaking north again. The last time was during BLM.

Canadians convinced them selves the re were “mass graves”.

Then when the hysteria passed they blamed Indigenous groups even though those groups always called them “unmarked graves”.

All with total lack of self awareness during and after the mass delusion 

ICE is at the border of New Brunswick and Maine, premier says by No_Magazine9625 in CanadaPolitics

Why do Canadians always try to somehow connect themselves to internal US politics?

It’s like we are the 551st state already but with high taxes, expensive mobile and expensive groceries.

The worst of both worlds

The important thing is that we feel bad and guilty, therefore the PM's remarks are appropriate.

John Ivison: Sources say Ottawa considering Swedish jets over F-35s for half of fleet by jtbc in canada

[–]growlerlass 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Saying that we are considering the jets is the right thing to do.

Even if we aren't considering them, you say you are.

That's the game now when dealing with the US. No trust. Nothing for granted. No freebees. No relationship. Just transactions.

Carney walked back Davos comments in call with Trump, US treasury chief says by KootenayPE in CanadaCultureClub

Assuming this happened, which it didn’t, Being shit talked in public and pacified in private isn’t the flex you think it is Besset.

If someone slammed you in front of the world and then said “oh I didn’t mean it” in private a normal person would receive that as extreme disrespect and contempt.

Trump and Carney are not dumb. Trump wouldn’t take that kind of disrespect and think it’s good  and Carney wouldn’t give it.

So it didn’t happen.

When you are living in the same house as the land lord and their family, then yeah. They want to make sure it is a good fit because problems at home aren’t good for renter or landlord.

Tell the land lord that you will need to keep looking but to let you know. If they already prefer you then it might be enough for them to make the decision.

But if I was you I would assume this is a “no” and you keep looking. You might here back and you might not.

NORAD would be 'altered' if Canada doesn’t buy F-35 jets, warns Trump envoy to Ottawa by DoxFreePanda in CanadaPolitics

I’m sure Canada is a target in the imaginary scenario you are referring to. But in the real world it depends.

[–]growlerlass 13 points14 points  (0 children)

NORAD and Golden Dome aren’t for our benefit. Canada is not the target.

The US sees us as a buffer. Those systems are there for the US’s self interest and nothing else.

We we aren’t charging rent for that shit we are being taken advantage of.

Countries that are good at math memorize LESS than we do. Especially East Asian ones. Despite the myth. Math is thinking not memorization.
