Jack makes an important point. In Canada, you don't have a prime minister trying to rewrite the voting rules by executive order. You have laws, passed by parliament. You have Elections Canada, charged with implementing those laws on a non-partisan basis. There's much less room for nonsense.
Canada and Australia have independent, non partisan electoral commissions that deliver elections and are accountable to all parliament.
US federal elections are largely run by states, I believe, and not politically insulated like in other countries.

Remarkable how Trump dealt himself the worst possible hand to negotiate w/ China.
1st card: Enacted tariffs that threaten to tank the economy
2nd: Backs China into a corner.
3rd: Makes fed incapable of responding
4th: Tanks markets, bonds and the dollar
5th: no end game, no plan

Here’s where we’re headed next:
1. Record number of S&P 500 companies pull full-year earnings guidance.
2. “Jay Powell is artificially costing us trillions of dollars with high interest rates, he must be fired.”
3. “Beautiful phone call with my friend President Xi, we’re making a deal.”

The meaningful costs we can impose aren't to 'the US economy' writ large but about political pressure points. When you have CEOs from Kentucky's bourbon industry on CNN complaining about Trump's tariffs because some CDN provinces pulled US alcohol from shelves, that's huge.
Great questions. I tend to see retaliation as potentially useful if there's some non-economic comms purpose. We aren't able to cause meaningful economic cost in the U.S., so need some other mechanism.
I see a lot of the demand for retaliation as emotional. Totally fair to disagree, of course.

How can Canada realistically build out the necessary pipeline infrastructure without repealing or revising Bill C-69? I tried to post the PM saying he was not going to do that but they are all part of partisan videos (so sick of partisan comments - just give me the news!!) #cdnpoli #cdnenergy

My hope is that Canadians recognize the need to protect our sovereignty and grow our economy asap. Like it or not, our natural resources are the clearest path forward. We must continue to be responsible with the environment, but remove the blockages that hold us back. #cdnpoli #cdnenergy

This is the way, and if Trump kills Canada's (and America's) auto sector, we should do all along the 401 corridor.

Smart article about Canadian reaction to US annexation chatter. I especially like the further analysis of this is a bug or a feature for future American administrations. www.vox.com/politics/403... #annexation #Canada #cdnpoli #CanadaEconomy #cdnmilitary

I am scheduled to tour Arlington Cemetery this week and am very glad to have found this article. The website seemed like it had missing links. This is quite disappointing. I will be sure to visit this grave. #honor #respect #dignity #arlington #military #dei
This one made me cry. My momma, USMC Vietnam veteran, is honored at the women’s memorial in Arlington. How DARE they dismiss her service, and that of anyone other than white men!!
