Yeah… Agreed. One bad and aggressive statement often takes a whole lot of diplomacy to reconcile. And we should know, just look at Trump crashing the US soft power built over decades in a matter of weeks.

I firmly believe some MAGA somewhere is out there right now expecting a loan approval to buy the most expensive Tesla out there, not knowing an unemployment letter is already being typed out.

One can hope for such poetic justice.

Understandable. They do support Canada, but politics are usually a subtle game, and since the orangutan has less tact than caveman they do better avoiding to upset him with open and confrontational support.

Not like he’s prone to notice such subtleties without someone pointing them out to him on a full powerpoint presentation anyway.

That’s what happens when you give a toddler access to the nukes. Being tactful is a must, until unavoidable.

Yup. This is not just about who gets to lead Canada, it’s also about who can protect it against foreign malicious interference. Now more than ever.

It’s time for cohesion, both internally and with allies, not division. When the enemy is at your doorstep trying to get in, you forget petty disagreements (in comparison, at least) and stand together.

Did someone else hear a shout that sounded like “I’m not special!😭”? Down south?

Eh, must’ve been the wind.

What happened to the whole “let them fight each other, we don’t need to be there” speech?

Probably the same that happened to all other “on day one” speeches, I assume.

Heck yeah. Go Carney.

What she did is what everyone in her situation should do - not just if your visa is revoked, but if you are one of the target minorities.

It’s hard to get your life turned upside down and leave your comfort overnight, and very unfair. But you don’t want to let them make the first move on you.

As hard as leaving everything behind feels, the chance of being imprisoned and being powerless in case democracy falls and tyranny begins is far, far worse.

Many people who chose not to flee newly-formed totalitarian regimes lived to regret that choice dearly. As did those who didn’t have the choice to begin with.

Escape to safety, then denounce and seek justice and restitution. Safety first, always.

Sadly, yes. I mean, Trump knows he’s ‘close’ to his grave and needs to leave some kind of legacy - even if it’s the Hitler kind of one - his narcissistic self just wants to enter them history books as one of the big humans instead of ‘another rich guy’ as a footnote.

Pretty sure either Elon or Vance are already lined up for when the time comes. When Trump leaves the world, and when there’s no longer actual rules preventing them from taking over and ‘fixing’ under martial law what big bad orange wrecked. At least according to them, that is.

No matter how bad what they’re doing seems this is just the preparation stage. Things can become so, so much worse, and the more we let them consolidate power the tougher it’ll be to fight it later.

And some will defend them as hardworking people who worked day in and day out for their wealth.

I’m sorry, no intention to depreciate your effort or success, but if you are building a super-yatch and your employees still have to pee in bottles you are greedy scum who doesn’t deserve success. There’s more than enough success to distribute part of it into happy employees who like to work for you, while still leaving you nasty rich.

No one needs untold amounts of wealth, and frankly there should be a cap at “fuck you money” level. Once you can spend “fuck you money” you know damn well you don’t need any more, you just need to maintain yourself there.

Yes, yes, every piece slowly falls into place. *Cue maniacal villain laughter

It’s like they actually studied history, to try and replicate the desired results as identically as possible. Or they didn’t, at all, and this is just 2+2=4 scenario but with history.

‘He’s underwater on everything’ - except the one way that matters the most.

Oh? I was under the impression you didn’t need us lesser and grifter nations? That we took you for a ride?

Hm… I propose a fair trade - you might even call it “the best deal ever”. Our eggs, for your cards.

Wait, I forgot. Your cards lost their value recently, as they couldn’t do shit for Ukraine against our common enemy.

Did not see this one coming, for sure. /s

Bet the ultrarich tax breaks are marked with a bright red “Priority No. 1” though, right? 🥸

Yeah. Agreed.

Nice. Symbolism on point. 👌

Shouldn’t even be up for consideration at this point. Buy jets from trustworthy people (like EU), and if you want total defense independence start building the framework to build Canadian jets for when these ones approach EoL.
