Personally I think it should be a requirement to be vetted by a country’s intelligence service in order to run for office.
I am not saying that you cannot run or be voted in. You can run no matter what.
I do think that the results of your screening should be public. Not the details, more just the thumbs up or down.
People need to know the danger you are in.
Yes please. So clearly the right move.
Their strategy instead is to announce wars and terrify every 20 minutes so that the news cycle is too full of other crisis to remember this guy.
We should be calling the US media to run stories about the problem Canada has with drugs coming over its southern border.
Trump took office on January 2025. Boycott started in February 2025. Ya, you really got us with those 2024 numbers. “Mike drop” indeed.
All that does is highlight how much they have to lose. Canadians were 20% of their tourism in 2024. Let’s get that down to zero.
Another way to look at it is that we thought there was no way to avoid a conservative government. Mark Carney has brought back the possibility that somebody else could win.
What will stop Mark Carney from winning will be if too many people vote NDP. If that happens, we get Pollievre. That is just the math.
Personally, I do not like to vote to send a message or complete a survey. I like to try to pick the best available government.
As a candidate to win, the NDP is not one of the options this election. You have two choices. Please pick one.
If your number two choice is going to win, picking the opposition is a viable strategy. However, if your last place pick is going to win, maybe vote for whoever has the best chance of beating them (otherwise you are choosing your last place pick).
Why do you think Panama and Canada came up on the same day. Yea, Northwest Passage.
Thank you for clearly outlining the depth of your analysis.
Recognition but not love. They will have no money.
The Swaticar is losing popularity in Europe?
Canada can set safety standards however they want. Chinese EVs are available elsewhere, like Australia. Are they catching fire there?
Or is there one video in China where these vehicles already sell in huge numbers?
No he didn’t. They were already making them when he got there.
The US does not produce much that is not available from Canada, Mexico, or Asia.
You have to go to Europe to buy aircraft.
The US is a service economy. Are you going to black market software or cloud services?
Long before you get to 100%, everybody stops buying it. Zero times anything is zero.
It is all to distract from the dismantling of any apparatus that could block his next attempt to stay in power forever.
This is all misdirection.
There is both downward price pressure and reduced demand.
It does not change the “who pays” question.
It is still the right thing to do. As you say, we just all need to be prepared for it.
We do not have to buy it
They should meet a day in advance without telling him and come up with a joint strategy. Then, when he arrives, let him have it.
Also, at least once, have a junior staffer tell him that it is “disrespectful to come here and litigate this in front of the Canadian media”.
Bad news. Trump is buying Potash from Belarus and energy from Russia. Canada is moving away from the US but the US is moving away from Canada.
Trump is busy assembling the new Axis of Evil.
Sadly, I do not think he will pull many conservatives. All he needs to do though is hold them to the 30% of wing it’s who love the blue and to pull enough NDP votes to win.
