    Very inadequate response so far. G7 meeting did not result in any unity with G6.

    It is straightforward to destroy US auto industry and agriculture. Export tariffs on energy, materials, potash. Stop reciprocal tariffs on China. China just tariffed US auto parts. Canada specializes in these. Great idea to get closer to Europe, but they do not have our back, and its not producing any results so far. Democrats definitely not a check on US empire/extortion.

    It’s very easy to get a cost advantage in Canada for auto industry. Export tariffs provide revenue support for subsidies to ensure it. Fuck WTO rules, until “fake emergency” is revoked. Force automakers to side with Canadian plants. Michigan provincehood. Cancel all US military cooperation, kick them out of NORAD, demand refund for all F35s, and cancel rest without paying penalty on corruption grounds. Exterminate Boeing orders.

    Immediate diplomacy with China, North Korea, Russia, Mexico. Hoping that other colonies choose Canada friendship over US boot licking, should be read as a long shot, unless we/they coordinate on destroying US auto, aerospace and weapons industry.

    Where Trump/US (stop saying this is “one man” or even one party responsible) is very successfully keeping the colonies divided against China, and begging for submission to US military evil. That is precise path that loses our country. It’s time to commit to destroying US economy, until they back down, and we gain a better relationship than we had before.

      You had me until the “China/Russa/NK” part…

      Do you really think a good solution to the US slowly going haywire over the past 20-30 years or so is snuggling up to dictatorships, of which two have boots on the ground in the first major European war of aggression since WWII, and the third is the only thing keeping the economy of the other two afloat? I think not. I think alienating said dictatorships is a good idea. I also think the US needs to be confronted and forced to make a decision on whether it wants to remain on good terms with the civilised world.

        snuggling up to dictatorship

        instead of judging countries by how much the US praises their democracy, judge them by the control of oligarchy and colonial masters. US and we are far more corrupt, because democracy makes corruption easy.

        Instead of “hating less liberal democracies to the point of suicide”, realize that “that bastion of freedom and democracy south of us” wants to destroy us. We need to make friends quick, and collectively destroy US manufacturing. An embarassing G7 joint communique of "we hate Russia even more now"divides Canada/west even further from Russia, which is exactly what US empire wants. Losers that desperately keep subservience to US military cooperation, and distances itself further from the enemies US tells us to make our enemies, is a loser move towards failure. Defense cooperation with Philippines categorically pathethic. Authorisizing US war on Mexico by agreeing to drug cartel designation as state sponsored terrorist, pathetic.

        the first major European war of aggression since WWII

        By far the greatest evil Canada has ever committed is pretending that US/Ukraine isn’t fully responsible for provoking/forcing this war. Just as Russia understood its survival was at stake and acted accordingly, you need to understand the same for Canada. When you lick US empire diaper with even greater enthusiasm, instead of breaking off US military cooperation, and taking a clear minded view of who could be helpful as friends, instead of desperation that existing friends will be willing to choose Canada over US.

        If our leaders don’t make all possible new friends and detente with US enemies, then they will pull a “Chuck Schumer” after raising a tiny fuss. “No better option than full surrender”, because no other options were ever prepared.

        HumanSpiral is a tankie who comments a lot. Have him tagged as such and I recommend you do the same, because these guys are prolific commenters trying to slowly normalize relations with Russia/China. It’s good to spot them early so you can move on.
