    Okay but I’m Canadian

    So am I (if my username didn’t give it away).

    Yes they are hoping to wear us down and take us over, but our citizens led boycotts are helping to hurt them more than they expected or are willing to admit.

    And the “buy Canadian” movement is also helping blunt the damage their tariffs are causing.

    As for a plan, the federal government has been strengening ties with the rest of the world ever since Trump first pulled the 51st state bullshit out of his ass. And that continues. For example, Carney led a delegation to meetings with EU partners over the last 72 hours, where they were specifically discussing international security cooperation.

    Initially the meetings were planned to discuss helping Ukraine, but they also has a lot of discussion about Trump’s latest atrocity in Venezuela and his ongoing and renewed threats against various other countries including Greenland, Mexico , Canada and the long list of others.

      Oh, I know, I do my best to not do any business with American stuff. It’s really a game of patch to holes as best we can before the game of chicken reaches a boiling point
