Remember when the conservatives bailed out the US auto sector instead of the Canadian tech sector? How'd that turn out for us? A 3.7 billion dollar loss and reliant on foreign tech.
Maybe it was the heavy lobbying by the US to kill the Prince Rupert pipeline so we didn't have capacity to ship crude to China? Is it that sort of thing that's made us dependent on US trade? Maybe something like that?
Maybe it was them letting the Huawei exec leave the US then demanding we arrest her on Canadian soil and brought around the Chinese hostage diplomacy crisis and tanking trade relationships with China for years to this day. I'm sure he remembers that, he was the President when that piece of diplomatic sabotage was perpetrated. Maybe it's that?
I imagine they're trying to come up with some way to break us off from Europe right now so we stay helpless and isolated. Be very fucking suspicious of anything that comes out of the US right now. Luckily, I think Europe is well enough aware of the games they play and are going to stick with us, but we'll see, I guess. China is certainly taking their shots while they can.
Absolutely. Selling Canadians and Canadian industry out has been a hallmark of the 2 major parties for decades. Hopefully we see a citizen's assembly put together so that we can start working towards electoral reform.
I don't disagree, but also suspect our leadership has for many decades been strong-armed behind closed doors far more than the public ever got to see. We only ever see the carrot.
I'd hope that our public servants or elected reps would leak that sort of thing.
No privacy for bullies.
Maybe bankrolling the campaigns of maga-fellators like Smith and Polievre also contributes. Perhaps financing parties like Wildrose to move the Overton Window rightward and pressure energy royalties downwards, too?
I wish there were just a day where everyone had to answer questions with full honesty. But even then, I think they'd still get away with selling their countrymen down the creek, by said countrymen.
That was the conservatives who forced us into NAFTA.
