    The point isn’t that Carney can fix it, but that they’re not interested in actually opposing the US despite his recent speech on US imperialism. We get it, your economy is extremely tied to the US and you’d be hit hard if you actually took a stance, but Iran is being bombed because they took a stance, Venezuela got their president kidnapped for taking a stance, and so on. Not opposing imperialism is obviously the path of least resistance, but it doesn’t make it the path we should be taking, considering people die every day for this bs even in peacetime.

        Cut off the oil supply. The US is a wasteful shithole that blows through 20 million barrels/day, but only produces 13. The majority of the rest comes from Canada.

          Do you know what happens after that? Trump eases sanctions on Russian oil, exactly like he did last week to ease the oil crisis they’re having now. The difference is if Canada outright cuts the states off then Trump would be spouting his stupid 51st state bullshit again. So what’s the next move after oil?

            They could stop being yet another oppressive western nation and discontinue bending over for Trump/the US. This isn’t new behavior, Canada’s a removed.

              All you’re doing is getting mad at someone because their neighbour shit in your yard. I know my neighbour is nuts, I know people don’t like him, I don’t like him, but wtf you mad at me for? I can do as much as you can to stop him. I don’t appreciate the entire western hemisphere being blamed because of one country as if we were the ones spouting insanity and starting fights with the rest of the world.

                  Yes, Canada is well known for colonizing other countries…Place your hatred where it’s deserved. You’re not doing anything to improve the world by hating countries that didn’t cause the problems.
