Did you know that the Chinese EVs is an accommodation for Saskatchewan canola farmers? Did you also know that the EV agreement is for 5 years but the canola agreement is only for 1 year? Who the hell negotiated such a deal? What were they thinking that it was a good one? OMG I hope whoever made this agreement isn't part of the CUSMO (?) deal because we're done economically if this is any indication. Our current government has no idea of what it's doing & our economic down turn will continue. Oh YAY!
Canada is the tail on the Chinese dog just like it’s the tail on the American dog, unfortunately Canada is caught between these same two dogs that ‘both’ just see Canada as a Chess piece and a potential acquisition as opposed to a sovereign nation in their pissing match with each other, with Canada as just potential collateral damage. Good times…
Yup I hear you must be a hard right wing activist to have such views . Next thing you know some of you extremists will deny that sex is binary . Jeshhh. What is binary anyway .
Yeah…but we’re literally caught in the middle between these two binary economic superpowers. Is there a right answer? We are pretty much caught in the middle having to work with both of them while they’re fighting with each other other, knowing that either one of them (or both) would throw us under the bus in a heartbeat for any kind of advantage…but if we side with just one or the other…the ‘one’ we side with will expect our resources for pennies on the dollar…& it doesn’t really matter which one at this point because they both will.

What’s the answer (?) especially with America (well, Trump) threatening us regularly, & China regularly punishing Western Canada with embargo’s (pork, canola, etc…) for the actions of Ottawa? What’s the middle path? Is there a middle path?

So….now that the budget has been tabled yesterday (03/28/23), there’s gonna be some debate for show, and then Justin & Jagmeet in their non-coalition coalition will pass this budget regardless of what’s in it and what the majority of Canadians, the Conservatives, the Bloc, the two Greens, etc…ask or want.
In the 2025 federal election, Singh led the NDP to its worst election result in party history, after which he resigned as leader. The potential appointment comes after Singh became eligible for his federal parliamentary pension following years as an MP. The compensation range for the chief executive of a federal Crown corporation can be as much as $350,000 a year.

Singh was instrumental in keeping former prime minister Justin Trudeau in power for years after the 2021 federal election through a confidence-and-supply agreement.

There is no middle path. At least not economically. We can piss around and play political games, but it will cost us financially.
Dementia Donny is only around for a max of 2 years. The Chinese dream of world domination will be around for centuries, unless they finally have a revolution. Which does not seem likely ATM.

It is what it is , yup the disintegration of our country . No wonder Quebec and Alberta want out .
Actually, is seems like everyone wants to be rid of OntariOWE. Instead of breaking Canada up, we should discuss voting OntariOWE off the map.

Just the Toronto metro area and Ottawa .
I suppose in the interests of continuity, and being good citizens, we could include everything North of Timmins. Everything south of Timmins would have to sign a declaration that they will work in the best interests of Canada, and not the laurentian elite. And not vote liberal.

Instead, Western Canada supports the southern Ontario focused Conservative party and depends on them for representation.

Well, if there's a "revolution" in the U.S. it'll be the socialists/communists/Islamists against the rest of the people. I suspect that'll happen if this isn't stopped. We have the same issue here but we have "King" Carney as opposed to PRESIDENT Trump so we're in a sorry state already & it's getting worse.

Something is going to happen soon. In the US especially, there are three basic groups: Christian fundies, Woke whatever they are today, and the vast majority that just want to get on with their lives without either side imposing nutbar laws that infringe on everyone"s constitutional rights.

Actually, it's even more than that. There are 3 parties involved: The socialists, the Marxists & the Islamists who are all fighting for the same thing. Once they've succeeded (and I hope the god they never will) they'll fight each other. The Islamists would likely win because their belief system is so strong. What the politicians who are promoting this garbage don't realize is that they're putting THEIR lives at risk by doing so.

We need more people to stand up against the tyranny that is coming our way, not only in the U.S. but in Canada. Look at who is "kneeling" in the streets of Toronto & Montreal. They're certainly intimidating which is the goal & no one in government will say or do anything about it. Wouldn't it be nice if they would assimilate? But they refuse to & insist that WE FOLLOW THEIR LAWS, POLITICS, ET AL. Why are they here? Easy: they have stated how they wish to "wash the world in blood" and ensure Caliphates are in place. So much for Jews being a threat. That is simply BULLSHIT!! We are ALL under threat & it seems a lot of people aren't aware.
