Ya I'm hella voting liberal this election (voted con in previous elections), but that dude should absolutely be fired or resign. If he isn't punished hard for this liberals are going to make themselves look like comic book villains. It's too bad the cpc under PP went full populist regard maple maga mode, because they are still somehow worse then Libs advocating to turn in bounties to the Chinese govt. When the fuck am I going to wake up? I am so sick of this nightmare world.

I am so sick of this constant emphasis on "non violence." We should be arming our citizens and training them for guerrilla warfare. We should be training citizens on how to make ieds.

The tone of this is disgusting from Smith. God I am so fucking sick of conservatives. Every demand is just climate change horseshit that wont help Canada. But I think the PM should probably agree to many of these. We should probably build pipelines, and lift the tanker ban in B.C. Bring back plastic bags and plastic straws because conservatives are actual fucking children who cant compromise on basic shit like that without shitting their pants. The net-zero car mandate can be removed because its just a virtue signal anyways and people will shift to EV's naturally, because they are just way better in every conceivable way. Ignore the rest of the demands. This will give them a win, they can stick their pacifiers back into their mouths, and we can handle the crisis we are dealing with now. Once the political situation is stabilized we can get back to work on plastics and climate change etc. But Smith is a fucking traitor and needs to go eventually.

I think nothing actually pisses me off more then the Albertan oil dudes who are constantly bitching and complaining about how they are so mistreated. I lived in Edmonton for 2 years and met a lot of oil patch folks. And I have a few friends of friends who work there. Every single one, without exception, is ROLLING in fucking money that they don't know what to do with. They buy themselves a big truck that they don't even use most of the time because they fly to fucking work (company pays for plane tickets) they buy themselves a condo, and they go to country bars every weekend and blow 100's of dollars on booze and strippers and blow. Give me a fucking break acting like your this poor oppressed people because the rest of Canada wanted to lead by example in fighting climate change and keeping plastics out of the environment. Fuck me. A lot of our environmental stuff can be reasonably disagreed with. I am a builder and personally I think a lot of the step code in new homes is pretty impractical and a bit green-washy. We have added a shitload of extra costs to homes in plastics and tapes and insulation and labor making homes slightly more efficient, by just a few %, when the manufacturing of all that material far outweighs the savings in energy. However, I don't feel the need to tear the country apart over it. I accept that I will eat some extra costs in this stuff and make slightly less, but overall, its still pretty awesome to be a builder and live in Canada. Maybe ill try to make arguments to local politicians, or vote for the changes I want to see. Threatening unity in Canada during this moment in time is fucking unforgivable.

On jan 20th when trump gave his inauguration speech and it was clear he was a demented psycho fuck and north america was definitely not safe I started looking into places to go. I recommend checking out the Australian working visa that is available to Canadians. I think right now I am more inclined to stay, because I want to kill Nazis more then I want to live in peace somewhere.

Bring it the fuck on yam tits. Lets fucking go. Send in your cultist freaks I can't wait to blow some yank limbs off.

Ya honestly Trump is so fucking stupid that it's starting to feel like he's doing a bit. Like is he mocking his own supporters at this point? I think the world needs to respond to trump with something exactly like this. Infinite tariff loop is actually a policy I would support unironically.

The argument seems to be "I think free trade is bad. It led to a shitload of prosperity for everyone involved, but now that people are projecting their personal grievances onto free trade and undermining it by electing an isolationist nationalist, things are going to get worse. Told ya so." Feels like hella cope to me lol.

Thanks for sharing. That makes a lot of sense. I have experience as a hobby welder. Maybe I should go get a cert or something 🤔

People will rise up, that is true. But if Trump solidifies his power, and it wont take much longer, he can easily work around all of the other leverage we have. He is more than happy to trade with Russia, NK, India, Iran, etc. to displace anything Canadians import. They will have plenty of fuel for their vehicles.

There are still dipshits saying "it's just hot air" gaslighting me on a daily basis. But yes we are the next Ukraine right now, it's a mirror image. But instead of Russia's dog shit economy, horde of orcs, and soviet weapons, it's the United Fucking States. We are completely fucked if we don't become pro active. In my opinion an American civil war is the only hope for our survival. And we should be intervening. A large group of armed Canadians should be going into the US when their civil war starts and backing up the real Americans and helping them fight against the fascist traitors. If we just sit here with our thumbs up our asses then Trump has a chance to solidify his power, and then we have no choice but to get fucked.

Yeah, it was a setup, Trump basically admitted that it was a setup at one point saying "this is why I've allowed this to go on" or something along those lines. Zelensky was making his case using examples, and history, but trump and vance wouldn't engage on the substance. They never do. They repeat their talking points that the magats love "you have no cards, people are being killed, you campaigned for the opposition," it was fucking disgusting. There can be no more doubt that Trump is serious about invading us, he saw what Putin did and said "ya I like that" or he is just an outright Russian asset. I think both scenarios are plausible. If we just wait, we are fucked.
