Hell of a line from Carney here: “You cannot live within the lie of mutual benefit through integration when integration becomes the source of your insubordination.”
Carney: "American hegemony in particular helped provide public goods, a stable financial system... this bargain no longer works. Let me be direct. We are in the midst of a rupture, not a transition... recently, great powers have begun using economic integration as a weapon. Tariffs as leverage ... "

PM Carney invoked Václav Havel to warn against “living within a lie” — the quiet compliance that sustains unjust systems. His message was clear: power persists when people go along to get along, and it breaks when even one actor refuses.

Canadian exports globally increased a dramatic 14% while we inflicted billions of dollars of damage on the MAGA economy.
So needless to day, Trump is coming for us.
But we are helluva lot tougher now than we were last year at this time.

Just a reminder to any Canadians who have been boycotting American products, visits there, and so on..
Now is NOT the time to stop.
It's actually the time to ramp things up.
Keep going please.

The US is going to crash their own economy. We're not only seeing the loss of US influence ("soft power"), the loss of the rule of law & their own democracy & the loss of their own economy. How sad that those who said they want to "make America great again" are destroying it from within.

Why the Canadian Supreme Court is VERY different and protected from political influence unlike the US Supreme Court that has a long history of partisan "stacking" which left it open to be compromised & dismantled as a guardrail.
BTW Tod Maffin is using satire to make his point.

So I'm not gonna defend Canadians being assholes (I'd rather set my hair on fire) but I'd gently point out that for a year our news cycle has been dominated with info that a neighbouring country with a massive military and *ten times* our population is serious, on some level, about taking us over.

Again, I know it's terrifying right now in the United States, but begging us to take you over, have NATO invade, or become Canada's 11th province is not the answer: because all those solutions still involve the end of the Canada I know.

We need to keep doing this, the less trade (exports & imports) with US, the less leverage they have over our country.
Canadian exports to the US continued to fall and exports to non-USA climbed by 15.6%
Exports to the United States in October accounted for 67.3 per cent of all exports, the lowest non-pandemic level since the current method of data calculation was established in 1997.

Interesting that our head of state, the Governor General (Mary Simon) our head of state is also going to Greenland.(The PM is our head of government). Her participation sends a stronger signal of Canada’s support to Greenland.
I will be in Nuuk in the coming weeks to officially open Canada’s consulate and mark a concrete step in strengthening our engagement in support of Denmark’s sovereignty and territorial integrity, including Greenland.
