I don’t get why more people don’t understand this. He’s just setting the tone for negotiations. He’s playing hardball, even with his closest allies…

He’s a nut job. He won’t last a year before his pack of insane clowns implode.

Buy next to nothing. Fuck this god damned country. No holiday gift giving…just cook a meal and invite people over for music and conversation. Maybe play cards together.
Edit: Just realized I was in a Canada sublemmy. My humblest apologies. You fine people do as you wish, but us curs in your filthy subbasement need to resist the shit out of this festering jejunal carbuncle’s self-imposed monarchy.

Do we manufacture the gold toilets, or just supply the gold?

Isn’t that the whole point of a “Team Canada approach”? All the provinces have their own needs and abilities, but we need some sort of coordination to make sure we’re all aiming for the same goal. And while housing may not directly be their responsibility the feds should be there for the assist with whatever the provinces need but can’t do themselves.

What I’ve observed is that the feds can give provinces all the money they like, but if the provinces are misspending or not spending those funds, you see no results.
This happened in Ontario during the pandemic. The Ford government underspent in healthcare while doctors and nurses begged for relief. It cost their lives, and the quality of our healthcare to drop significantly.
At the same time, this government has $48 million to remove bike lanes from Toronto, and apparently billions to build an underground tunnel for cars under the 401.
The feds can only do so much when provinces are incapable of producing effective leadership.

It doesn’t come across that way.

He’s doing what his Russian oligarch owners are paying him to do.
He’s literally getting money from Russian oligarchs who are controlled by Putin.
I don’t get why more people don’t understand this.
He’s not negotiating, he’s helping to destroy the country from within for his own personal gain.

This has been the plan since Russia started losing the Cold War. Trump was the first time a Russian asset reached the presidency.

The rich already crash everything else to buy up the world on then cheap.
Trump’s policies break parts of society, he’s breaking apart society and selling off the pieces.

Anyone who has been paying attention understands that trumps idea of negotiation is to get everything and give nothing.
He doesn’t operate on the idea of mutually beneficial outcomes. The only way he understands him winning is to make everyone else lose.

The biggest impediment to increasing trade with countries that aren’t 50km away is the cost and logistics of shipping.
Given their proximity, the US is always going to be looked at as the easiest place to trade with.
Of course, having a chaotic baboon running the place does change that calculation somewhat, but the fact that they’re just “across the stereet” still tilts that balance.

I understand the sentiment people might have towards the western provinces, but i personally don’t think its nice to paint the whole group with a broad stroke. I know good people in alberta.

Roads are basically free to use. It will eventually mean more wear and tear for the government to pay for, though.
The way you phrased that, I’d like to point out that I’m on board with transitioning away from fossil fuels, along with the vast majority of knowledgeable people.

The stock markets seem to think so, anyway.
On the one hand, big investors have ears in Washington I don’t. On the other, they’re the exact kind of educated, well-to-do people who suddenly have no imagination when it comes to history happening again.
