    > US President Donald Trump earlier called the idea "laughable" and threatened "very serious tariffs" on Europe if he considered it a "hostile act".

    So if Canada tries to make friends with anyone other than the US, it's a hostile act?

    Makes it all the more obvious that USA is Canada's abusive partner, that they should have broken up with a long time ago.

      Carney has extremely strong support amongst the general public in Canada which hasn't been the case for the Canadian PM over the past 20+ years.

      158 Canadian soldiers died defending the United States at the US's request after 9/11. Canadian fighter jets helped to patrol the skies in the US at the US's request after 9/11.

      The insults coming from the US Secretary of Defence and President are not unnoticed. They are logged and remembered.

          > climate change will happen (the trump administration is preparing for it more seriously than any other)

          This has to be satire surely.

          We're gonna need that sense of humor as the climate shit hits the fan.

            I mean in a way it's true. MAGA is a death cult and they want to hasten the apocalypse, which is why MAGA is such good bed fellows with US big tech as they too also want to hasten the apocalypse.

            These people fervently believe that they will prosper once the earth is destroyed, so please trust that they will do everything in their lives to make it so.
