“I am ready to sit down with President Trump at the appropriate time under a position where there is respect for Canadian sovereignty and we are working for a common approach, a much more comprehensive approach for trade,” Carney said.

This is the way. Leaders need to stop entertaining the orange idiot. He’s the shitty kid that breaks stuff to get attention. Trump needs a time out.

I like Iran’s attitude. They said “Whatever. Do what you’re going to do.” and didn’t bother having more of a conversation.

This is what Canada needs to do.

The problem is Canada needs America to be strong. We are stronger together. So the idea of “taking down America” isn’t smart.

The entire world benefits from a strong America.

What it doesn’t benefit from is a wannabe dictator sociopath rapist who doesn’t play by international rules.

The entire Western world benefits from a strong America.

By the time this is done, there very well may not be a concept of a unified Western world any longer.

We’re on track for this to be China’s century and Trump is accelerating the process. If the US turns its back on Taiwan as it has with Ukraine we will have a new world order.

China already controls the supply chain for a majority of critical minerals through strategic partnerships with resource rich nations. If the US continues to turn its back on its allies it will be the end of its golden age as the preeminent world superpower.

Uhhh fuck no, Latin America has very little to be thankful for in a strong USA. This might be news for Canadians but the rest of the continent has always* suffered at the hands of American imperialism.

*always = 19th century onwards, ie post colonialism

Well, we’re about to test that hypothesis. The world is going to have to go it alone for a little while.
