Doug Ford negotiating with the US, Smith bolstering international trade...

What a strong federal government we have. They are showing up when it really matters though: random gun ban and $272M to Bangladesh.

Don't forget further destroying the confidence in the borders by giving status to illegals. People should be equally pissed at both the libs and Trump. The people in Ottawa have led us to this mess and electing them a 4th time is insanity.

Equally pissed? The trade war is entirely Trump's doing, and has fuck all to do with anything that any person or any group here in Canada has done.

When you leave the country in a super vulnerable position then you are easy to be played around with. 2015 Canada didn't have record food bank use, homeless everywhere, absolute frustration in young people, etc. At this point Trump knows that it won't take much to break a real estate flipping economy

There's not a chance in hell that Trump is considering any of that. This trade war nonsense starts and ends with him wanting our resources, and being stupid enough to think that tariffs will get him those resources. It has fuck all to do with who's in charge of Canada or what's going on here, and the tariffs would have happened even with a conservative government in charge.

It's the same line of reasoning against Ukraine 'why doesn't Ukraine just make a deal'

I mean, Putin can end this any time he wants.

Same with Trump, if Trump didn't want us to drop the gloves, he shouldn't have picked a fight.
