“[W]hen we only negotiate bilaterally with a hegemon, we negotiate from weakness. We accept what is offered. We compete with each other to be the most accommodating. This is not sovereignty. It is the performance of sovereignty while accepting subordination.” Prime Minister Mark Carney #Canada

Prime Minister Carney announces new measures to make groceries and other essentials more affordable for Canadians
Our plan is moving Canada’s economy from reliance to resilience, though some of the biggest long-term payoffs of this transformation will take time to be felt.

Mark Carney, said at Davos, what generations have been saying in cafes throughout Europe. We finally caught up, and SAID IT OUT LOUD! Now, look what they are doing, also predicted in cafes, going after their own!
I would rather die than ever become an American!

We did not show fear #Canada. We showed our government, neighbours and world that we will not bend. We won’t stop now. I have faith in Carney and allies - and if it comes to it, I will die in insurgency rather than die as an American
US needs to understand this just hardens our already steely resolve. Economic, geopolitical, alliances and frankly - war, if that’s what happens. Canada will never submit, never forget and never forgive

"To be in favor or against
is to live in fear.
To take the body seriously
is to admit one can suffer.
Favor debases:
we fear to lose it,
fear to win it.
So to be in favor or against
is to live in fear."
Lao Tzu
Keeping the body?
Then suffering comes for a ride.

Why, a quarter of the way through the 21st century, are we able to launch a network of satellites that can tell my phone exactly where in the world it is located at any given moment, but I cannot attach a comment to a footnote in Microsoft Word?
