On Tuesday, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau warned that Donald Trump was softening up Canada by attacking our economy ahead of an attempt to annex the country.
Let that sit for a moment.
Because it’s easy to miss the significance of the statement. We live in an era of exaggeration, and a moment of frenetic happenings. But the prime minister of Canada has said that the global hegemon is attacking this country economically in the hopes of later annexing it. To put it mildly, the stakes right now are high, and our leaders must rise to meet the challenges these stakes imply.
At least one premier understands the assignment. After Trudeau spoke, Ontario Premier Doug Ford held his own press conference in Toronto. “I want to inflict as much pain as we possibly can until we get to a deal,” Ford said.
He laid out a plan to hit the United States hard in response to Trump’s attack on Canada’s economy and sovereignty. You could write a book about Ford’s failures. Some people have. But his approach to dealing with the Trump regime is spot on.
Just have every country stop doing business with the U.S.
America first? Yeah, it sure will break first.
Yeah, I a tally think things aren’t as bad for anyone else as the US thinks they are. They are acting like this is 1935, but the whole has changed, and the are about to find real quick that what gave them power wasn’t guns, but the alliances and knowledge they had hoarded. They are getting rid of all that real fast as the world realigns much faster than they expected.
Well remember, that’s why they’re doing this. They’re not doing this because they’re arrogant, or at least not solely that, they’re doing it for the explicit purpose of destroying America’s ability to affect World politics. They’re doing this because Putin has told him to destroy America’s ability to be a superpower.
Surely VP Krasnov is not a bad actor, comrade?
