Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said in a video address released Sunday that Canada’s strong economic ties to the United States were once a strength but are now a weakness that must be corrected.

In the 10-minute address, Carney spoke about his government’s efforts to strengthen the Canadian economy by attracting new investments and signing trade deals with other countries.

“The world is more dangerous and divided,” Carney said. “The U.S. has fundamentally changed its approach to trade, raising its tariffs to levels last seen during the Great Depression.

US is not an ally to Canada and treats it like an adversary. It’s time Canadians (i.e. CPP supporters) realize that and act accordingly - boycott the shit out of US products.

US is going to collapse soon enough and Canadas going to have a major humanitarian crisis along its border.

Before that happens, maybe we ought to build a wall (even if we can’t make them pay for it)

Just need to regularly place signs along the border with the temperature forecast (in Celsius) and the current gas prices (converted to gallons). Should scare most of em off.

It’ll be more like a civil war we’ll get dragged into, I think. But either way, it’s going to be absolutely brutal.

If y’all made it easier for folks without a degree to emigrate, I’d be there in a heartbeat. As it is, your country has decided that I’m not worth having around. I doubt y’all have much need for anyone that can solder electronics, anyways.
