  1. The Canadian economy is already configured north-south. Where do you think >80% of Canadian exports go?

    But the Canadian nationalist unifying figure will come from the left.

    1. The actual numbers are interesting:

      41% of Canada’s exports go to the USA but only 1.5% of USA’s exports go to Canada. So, Canada cannot win this battle because the US will be largely unaffected by anything Canada does.

      It also needs to be borne in mind that Trump’s tariffs are reciprocal – they are applied against Canada’s tariffs that have been in place for decades to protect their economy against being swamped by US imports.

      1. Stats Canada have total exports (2023) as $703,276,507, exports to the USA as $543,586,671. Out of idle curiosity, where do you get the 41% figure from?

  2. So what happens if China flips and backs the european union and says fuck yuo Russia you and the orange cunt are on your own and now we have you surrounded and can take you when we like .Then its just a short boat ride for us to invade Alaska .

    1. tHEY HAVE ALSO LOANED TRILLIONS TO THE usa .Where do you think USA gets their government debt from .If all countries called in their investments in the USA WHAT WOULD tRUMP HAVE LEFT ? A SHELL

      1. The debt is one trillion, not multiples thereoff. No China will never call in the loan. It is receiving US$73M per day in interest payments, it would rather have the interest than the lump sum returned. It is the typical bank lender situation. China knows the USA cannot repay the debt (it is broke) so is happy to collect the interest forever more. Money for jam.

        In fact if USA goes to war with China over Taiwan and the South China Seas, it will largely fight against a Chinese military funded by USA tax payers.

        Geopolitically China wont recall the loan is that it would decimate the value of the USA dollar and increase the value of their Yuan. Would make Chinese export trading noncompetitive.

        Worth a read; https://www.investopedia.com/articles/investing/040115/reasons-why-china-buys-us-treasury-bonds.asp

        ” China, on the other hand, needs to be concerned about loaning money to a nation that also has the limitless authority to print it in any amount. High inflation in the U.S. would have adverse effects on China, as the real repayment value to China would be reduced in the case of high inflation in the U.S.

        Willingly or unwillingly, China will have to continue to purchase U.S. debt to ensure price competitiveness for its exports at the international level. “.

        We live in a strange world of interdependence.

  3. Speaking of under funding Americas global obligations, remembering that Trump/the President, is merely a figurehead, it is looking likely that a new European defense alliance is in the making, that will cost tax payers hundreds of billions of dollars to construct and maintain, with a large portion of this money, initially, heading towards US defense contractors. I saw this in the news somewhere but can’t remember where, anyway it will make it to mainstream news soon enough. This is the behind the scenes b/s that big money interests love to orchestrate. Regardless of whether this is true or not, Trump’s madness seems to be a ruse, a way of masking a lot of behind the scenes b/s polices that he will push through on behalf of unelected rich prick interests. There really is method to his madness, these are without doubt, happy times for the super rich and uncertain times for the rest of us.

    1. eUROPE WILL MAKE THEIR OWN WEAPONS .iRELAND IS RAMPING UP MISSILE MANUFACTURE AND GERMANY IS MAKING ALL SORTS OF TANKS AND APC VEHICLES .fRANCE MAKES PLANES AND HAS ATOMIC WEAPONS SO THEY WONT NEED TO BUY BUGGER ALL FROM THE USA .THEY ARE ONLY BUYING FROM THEM NOW DUE TO NATO BUT TRUMP WANTS OUT SO WHY WOULD THEY EVEN BUY A FIRE CRACKER FROM HIM

      1. In time, Europe may become self sufficient, militarily speaking, but that’s at least a decade away. But that is neither here nor there. The real problem here, assuming that any of it is true, of course, is that Europe is about to undergo a radical military transformation, one that will see militarily spending ramped up considerably and all other forms of spending compromised as a result. This is bad news for Europeans and good news for the US war economy. And all the politics that has gone into this change and the requirements needed to keep this change going, none of this is remotely democratic. And then we have the theater of Trump, appearing like a madman/action man (depending on what side of the political illusion we attach ourselves to) who appears to be breaking up/walking away from the status quo when all that he is really doing is laying the groundwork for the new US/European military framework to come into being. Genius stuff really, assuming, again, that any of this is true.

  4. Martyn – I didn’t know about the Dugin connection. Thanks for making that clear because it starts to fit together.

  5. Peace breaking out can be hard to take for Democrat supporters who love the forever wars. Captain America Bernie Sanders will save the day

  6. USA does not need toattack Panama as Blackrock have just purchased the towns at both ends which give them control.Greenlanders are welfare dependent people with free medical and education and subsided housing.They are classed as citizens of Denmark which gives them access to EU .Most people are government employees so America would have to come up with a gol plated scheme to get Greenlanders to change benefactors.
    I have never met a Canadian who has a good word to say about America and Americans. Trump is all bluster about taking control of Canada .It is a clever ruse to get people to take their eye of other balls he has in the air.

    1. do you run with rabid dogs? liberals on both sides of the Canadian border get on fine and are standing in solidarity against this frothing mongrel of an administration.

  7. lol – Americans aren’t going to stand for it much longer. Trump and Musk are Luxon and Rimmer on steroids. It will end badly for both administrations. I wouldn’t be surprised if they end up hanging under a motorway overpass like the dodgy gangsters that they are. Musk is already starting to plead forgiveness and charity. That joint house address was only missing the brownshirts and salutes it was so sycophantic. Logic and reason are wanting their enlightenment back and it won’t be pretty.

  8. Those that call Trump a fascist miss one very very very super fucking very important point. Russia has nukes. Conflict in my opinion began 2014 when Ukraine started ethnic cleansing Russian speaking Ukrainians according to his allegations to the international criminal court. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/02/02/world/europe/ukraine-un-court-genocide-russia.html

    I’m not arguing that Ukraine has a case to answer for. My point is fucking nuclear diplomacy means that under no circumstances can two nuclear armed states come to blows.

    We had a chance to end it in the opening days 10 years ago. Now Ukraine looks like WW1. There is no way Ukraine can be considered in a winning position and neither can NATO tanks take back the initiative in time. Putin now owns 20% of Ukraine specifically the land bridge to Russia’s only warm water port. Understand that no one other than Putin owns that port.

    Now just take your medicine and accept the Peace Deal.

  9. and the Greenland elections have resulted in major wins for nationalist parties who favour independence.

    According to the BBC a “surprise result” LOL.
