Everybody should watch this clip regardless of their thoughts on Kevin O'Leary. I saw it on YouTube.

Canadians are going to hear a lot of anti-American rhetoric. Carney is out there trying to tell you he'll save you from Trump. Then the new Prime Minister is going to fly down to Washington and cut a deal. Yes, it will be NAFTA 3.0. I also think there should be zero tariffs between Canada and the U.S. It would be better for Canadians.

The first North American Free Trade Agreement was 2,000 pages long. Many of us knew the absurdity of a so-called free trade agreement having bounded books.

Trump has repeated several times that he wishes to annex Canada likely starting with the Alberta oil patch. “NAFTA 3.0 “ is just a mirage and Trump’s action are towards destroying the Canada economy to make annexation easier and tariffs is one weapon.
Another is national unity destruction and Premier Smith who is a MAGA affiliate has spread her legs as an opening for Trump to come into Canada as an annexation contagion.
The PM of Canada whether it is Carney or Poilievere will be a political yoyo for Trump’s machinations going forward with repeated trips down to Washington with be stomp on Canada’s psyche and pocket book as the Canadian dollar dangerously plummets .
O’Leary conveniently neglects to address Trump’s annexation mission in the Fox interview which is disingenuous as this the reason for all of this upheaval.

Given the sharp division in our Congress, there's currently no easy or practical method for adding states. Trump says a lot of things that he knows will drive pundits crazy. The punditry class don't know (or maybe privately they do) that Trump helps them fill up the endless airtime and web pages.

I always caution people from diving too deeply into narratives.

The simplest explanation is Trump is trying to redress the global trade system that relies on the U.S. and our printing press to absorb the rest of the world's chronic trade deficits. I'm sure there are personal and likely petty reasons for addressing Trudeau's Canada first. The other side of it is how can you redress the global trade system if your neighbor has all sorts of exclusions and addendums on what is a so-called free trade agreement.

In terms of being anti-trump, YES.

frank's real issue, which he is afraid to admit, is that the right-wing media support Israel more than the left-wing media does. That's why he stresses that only a right-wing media outlet like Postmedia get banned. Using the term "foreign owned" is a false flag for "Israel supporting right wing". It's the same kind of false flag as "Zionism" which is code for "Jew".

Isn't it the US that is overspending, running chronic trade deficits and using borrowing and their printing press to fund their lifestyle? Canada puts trust in the US dollar to accept the goods we are selling, especially oil. With these moves, the US risks accelerating their decline as the preferred reserve currency.

Imagine if we have to start insisting on getting paid in Euros for the oil we sell to the US due to the instability these nincompoops are bringing.

Isn't the unanswered question here how are you going to fund the CPP?

You don't know? There's an actuary that studies this exact question and issues a report.

I find that people that comment on the CPP's viability often use US-based talking points, which don't apply.

Justin Trudeau slit his own throat by endorsing Kamala Harris after Trump won. The Don told him to leave town before sundown, and he took the last train to Palukaville, proving that he was not 100% stupid.

The rhetoric on annexing Canada, Greenland and taking back control of the Panama Canal should not be ignored.
The tariffs imposed on Canada are just a subset of the annexation goal.
Trump sees Canada as a weak federation of provinces that increasingly challenge the authority of an anemic federal government, a nation that he is successfully exploiting.
Trump will find other ways to circumvent the House, Senate and Congress to achieve his goals such as declaring false emergencies at the Canada border due to Fentanyl or immigration as Trump behaves in a totalitarian manner as much as he can.
Trump will likely get more meaningless impeachments as he enacts his “ Mein Kempf” with Musk.

Trudeau’s resignation has little to do with Trump. Trudeau also endorsed Biden, so what!
Poilievre endorsed Trump and look what Trump is doing to Poilievre now, he is kneecapping him because Trump wants a Carney win to provoke Alberta to seek separation, making Trump’s annexation plan more likely to succeed.

Anyway, Trudeau was able to last ten years. and now can enjoy his retirement as a very wealthy man.

liberal because they have stronger societal identification with liberal politics. Greta Thunberg came to mind. Right or wrong, more women identify with Miss Thunberg than men.

Most of the women who vote for the liberals do out of self interest. They believe affirmation action is better than the merit based system because they win more often then they lose. They also believe in the scary fairy tale about conservatives taking away the abortion rights.

And if you want to conclude I am anti women you are wrong. conservative women are our country’s most valuable resource. Liberal women on the other hand are a dime a dozen.

Biden won, and Harris didn't. Big difference.

Trudeau announced his resignation on January 6, 2025, two weeks before Trump's second inauguration. The two had private conversations at Mar-a-Lago between Trump's re-election and Trudeau's resignation. Do the math.

Like Trump, Justin is not a 'self made man', unless you're referring to Justin's sex life since his wife left him. He could have lived very comfortably on a drama teacher's salary and his trust fund.

To make things clear...I'm part of the 'Don't Give a Shit About Politics' Party. My Toronto-Centre riding will re-elect Marci Ien, a Liberal woman-of-colour backbencher who fills an important role in the diversity mosaic, now that most of the other members of her diversity group have jumped ship.

I can proudly say that no person that i have personally voted for has ever won an election of any kind, except for being a starter in the Baseball All-Star game.

If Carney wins, think of this old joke:

A man started to climb a high, steep mountain when a snake asked the man to carry him along. “But you’re a snake,” the man said. The snake smiled. “Don’t worry. I won’t bite you.” After days of arduous climbing, the man reached the mountain summit, whereupon the poisonous snake bit him. As he lay dying, the man cried out, “You said you wouldn’t bite me!” His reptilian hitchhiker looked at him and said, “Ha! You knew I was a snake when you picked me up.”

liberals rely heavily on polls...they've been proven wrong twice with the US election...I'm not sure if that will be the same here in Canada....I really hope the polls are right...otherwise the meltdown would be of Epic proportions...
If Carney wins...then props to Trudeau for resigning on time, if they lose, it's all on him for waiting too long...and Jaghmeet losing more seats for the NDP will be partly to blame for having no balls...
