Canada has much room to grow as an exporter. We're only the 12th largest exporter in the world.
Most of that trade is raw materials.
Canada doesn't just need to diversify trade away from the US. We should be trying to develop our manufacturing sector and increasing total exports.

This is classic abuser language.
Not exactly shocking from a convicted abuser.
Carney's speech was important (although he should've said "the US"). Canada must always stand up to the bully.
However, Carney's actions need to back up his speech. Actions, not words.

Perhaps the question Canadians should be asking is this:
Why hasn't the Canadian government made a public announcement that Canada is cancelling the US F35 order and going with the Swedish Gripen, instead?
Why has it been a year with no public announcement?

Another reason to go with the Gripen.
The US isn’t reliable anymore.
The US isn’t reliable anymore.
Japan accuses the U.S. of failing to deliver $6.9B in military equipment, with 118 FMS contracts delayed over five years, forcing reliance on older gear and leaving critical systems like the E-2D Hawkeye unsupported despite advance payments.

Genuinely gives the impression he understands the gravity of the moment, which is why I'm struggling to square it with his actual actions and policy re: the United States.

Liberals will not win over young voters because:
-They aren't serious about affordable housing
-No plans to address other living costs (groceries, transportation, utilities)
-Won't make uni tuition free
-Gaza (e.g. Carney joining Trump's Palestine group)
So, @ndp.ca need to step up.
