This is exactly what people voted for. People hate trump so much that they let their emotions cast their votes, Conservatives aren’t much better but we would’ve likely seen a different change of approach on how things are ran.

NDP was suppose to be the in-between of Liberal and Conservative however, they’re far more Liberal than Conservative so it makes sense that their party isn’t crazy popular.

Fuck this bullshit

NDP was suppose to be the in-between of Liberal and Conservative

What? How is the centre left party supposed to be in between the centre right party and the right wing party?

Carney folds like a cheap ass suit

Lmao! I had this image of him disappearing like Obi Wan, except instead of Jedi robes falling to the ground, it’s a cheap suit.

I don’t like it either, but stroking Trump’s ego and not doing anything to set him off is probably a better strategy than telling him to go fuck himself. Although I really really hope it works out. If Carney doesn’t get a win the Liberals are going to be replaced real quick.

Time to organize the protests. I’ve been considering a long term visit to Ottawa. Who is a protest leader there so I can get in the loop?

Where are my protest people? Nova Scotia and Ottawa. I’ll take any links or contacts you’ve got. I’m done with this shit. I’m out of the loop with the young family and old man shit but it’s time to buck up or shut up.

Good on you! I have been cancelling everything American and moving my digital services to Europe.

suppose

Supposed.

No. We would have seen the cons capitulate completely and invite our new king. What part of everything the cons have done over 40nyears gives a different impression?

NDP

Had no chance of winning even a minority. And they won’t, as long as we need to focus on not getting conservatives driving our country into the dirt like they’ve done to our cousins in America.

It’s so tedious to repeat this.

I’m not sure if we’ll replace him just yet. He has to show that he’s tried all reasonable avenues and if he does and Trump still fucks us, then he comes out and says - I tried all I could, now we’ll have to take these unprecedented steps to prevent economic meltdown. I think in such a scenario Canadians would rally behind him and consent to COVID-like economic supports among other things, even WWII style policies around prices controls, taxes and so on, depending on how bad things get. The other parties would also be forced to support him because it would look pretty bad if they stood against taking care of Canadians during an economic crisis.

Replaced by the Conservatives who will try even harder to do everything Trump wants, because they have always wanted to turn Canada into the USA? We’re in a bit of a sticky spot here.

Feels like all I can do at this point is to continue to not buy American.

Change needs to come from the bottom-up.

Carney is a clown who should’ve been given a much smaller majority.

Grassroots actions will overtake Carney’s poor decisions.

It will not work. It never works. Trump is a bully. When in the history of the universe has capitulating to a bully ever resulted in a fair deal?

I’m not sure pissing off bullies leads to fair deals either. I’m thinking Carney isn’t trying to get a good deal, but to avoid a trade war. Hell, Trump could order air strikes on Canada. He did it with Iran. Probably best not to piss him off. $2 billion in tax would be great but the government can also just print $2 billion if they really wanted to.

I have started self hosting a lot of things, and using Canadian hosting for my passwords and domain.

Conservatives would do the same thing

What makes you think that he won’t further a trade war or drop bombs on Vancouver if we do give him everything he wants? Placating bullies doesn’t pacify them, it emboldens them. Canada should be pushing back against the US and dragging the rest of the world with us in the process. Instead, everyone is just falling in line while Trump walks all over us.

If we’re really lucky, we’ll get to keep some cosmetic sovereignty out of all of this, but I don’t like our chances.
