Pariah state is the designation I have started to use.

The Americans are doing the opposite - they’re complaining that AFD has been labeled an extremist organization.

The US is no longer trustworthy.

And it will take a lot of time and effort from the Americans to regain the trust of the international community.

Once again demonstrating how unreliable the American government has become.

It will be a very long time before the international community trusts America.

All that said, I hope that Carney instead chooses to build consensus.

As I understand it, that has been how he has operated in his previous roles.

They’ve also “deported” (exiled is a better word) actual citizens. Someone on a green card has less protection than that.

He sounds like he’s ready to spend on capitol projects at the moment.

In his book he calls for government spending on capital projects in order to kick-start private investment in expanding their businesses (and payrolls, ultimately leading to more employees in better paid jobs and therefore at a higher taxable level)

it sounds like the Bloc really wants a rematch.

I doubt they’ll try to topple the government until the threat of Trump is neutralized. Or at least significantly muted. They have a common goal with the rest of the country on that issue.

Plus, what’s their warchest look like at the moment?

that’s in to a lot of conservative ideas

Fiscal conservative ideas, maybe.

Socially he’s relatively liberal. Maybe not quite as much as Trudeau, but nowhere near what the CPC has become.

The numbers allow a continuation of a Liberal-NDP confidence-and-supply arrangement.

Or a less formal agreement, if there is no appetite for a similar arrangement as last time.

Or, my preference, working to consensus with both BQ and NDP.

Denied entry is far different than being strip searched and locked up in a jail with serious criminals.

Is losing your non-refundable booking a worse outcome than a few nights in a detention cell?

Either it’s market manipulation or bad economic ideals

Both can be true in this case.

Hint: Germans didn’t fix it by themselves.

Of course, but the rest of the world didn’t take those actions until after the German military moved into several other countries. And that action was done in the defense of those other countries as much as it was to spank the Germans.

Nobody is coming to the US to save the US from itself. Things will have to get a helluva lot worse before that happens.

And it won’t be done to rescue the Americans, it will be intended to beat them into submission.

Plus, the rest of the world remembers that the Americans didn’t help us in WW2 until the war finally came to their shores, after the rest of us had been fighting for 3 years.

We’re a bit busy protecting ourselves from the US.

You Americans can fix your own damn problems.

It’s well understood by business people (at least by competent ones) that if you do something that makes your customer leave, they dont come back.

or something ultra specific that is super easy to source from any other country, to exclusively hurt the american businesses

That was part of what went into how Canada chose the targets of our first rounds of counter-tariffs.

Product categories that we also make here, or can easily get elsewhere or can comfortably do without for an extended period of time.

That combined with a consumer led boycott of anything "made in the USA " and even staunch Republicans like Mitch McConnell are starting to push back against Trump.

Cult leader is accurate.

we don’t hate americans, we hate the asshole and his goons.

Though we are increasingly frustrated by those Americans who are sitting on their hands, and not actively trying to save their country from the self-harm it is currently experiencing.
