Adopt an independent defense and foreign policy that prioritizes diplomacy, international cooperation and peace
Too vague, but correct. Independent defense means no US procurement. Independent foreign policy means cooperation with China and Russia, and that is definitely what peace means.
Canadians/Lemmy is too programmed to understand it this way though. By far the weakest aspect of all party leaders in Canada.
How about passing laws allowing Canada to seize and nationalize the assets and infrastructure of any corporation found participating in disinformation that favours a hostile foreign power? Forced “Canadianization” of American corporations operating in Canada in the event of any attempts at economic annexation. Asset, infrastructure, and operations seizure and nationalization for foreign corporations who violate Canadian labour standards (e.g., Amazon), as well as immediate claw-back of any incentives provided for those corporations.
I’m sure Canadian teams could be used to run those seized operations either in the interim until hostilities are verifiably over, or permanently, for the betterment of the Canadian economy.
How do American companies that operate Canadian subsidiaries get their earnings out of the country?
An excellent question. The American-based consulting and IT firms I’ve worked for did it through their US-based bank accounts. I don’t know about other industries.
