GM have been inexorably pulling out of Canada for at least 25 years. The past ten years the Canadian federal government has not concentrated on industrialization or technology.
Instead we have had ideology and overreach. Inflation. Debt. Anger. Division. Deception. Propaganda
Trump is looking after the USA.
Carney is looking after his ideology . Like Trudeau. Canada is just a Machiavellian reality for these politicians.
Canada has become a herd of sheep. massively over immigrated.
Agreed. Trump promoted Karney knowing he'd be weak. There is no contest in leadership styles. He even had Jewish families who lost loved ones on October 7 in the Oval Office when Karney was there. It wasn't about trade or tariffs at all. It was about humiliation.
You're right about that old curse, "May you live in interesting times".
And these times have become far too interesting. A short ten years ago, who would ever have thought to say that about Canada?
Every so often, I step back and review my posts on various topics ... a self check, to make sure I'm not over reacting to the politics of the day. (I can be a little too intense at times)
But i'm not over reacting. There are a frightening number of literally existential things to write (rant) about, and they appear to be snowballing.
As I age - this Friday will mark my 81st year on the planet - one would think that you gain a little more peace and acceptance of the things you cannot change. (Or, put another way, start the process of leaving the world behind, and prepare for the upcoming and inevitable loosening of my mortal coil.)
But that's not the case. There are too many horrible things happening at the same time - most of them in this country that I love - and I simply cannot avert my eyes or my mouth closed.
Speaking of “the mysterious backstory surrounding the CIB’s $1-billion loan to BC Ferries — a deal to purchase four vessels from a Chinese shipbuilder” - where is the Hon. MP Chrystia Freeland these days?!Last reports were she was sent to aid in the rebuilding of Ukraine, odd since it’s still at war. 🤔
I, too, wish things weren't quite so interesting but, to quote Gandalf the Gray, "... and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us."
Having a hard time suppressing the smiles over Ontariararaio facing economic problems with the auto industry......the west has had Ottawa destroying our forest, oil and gas and mining industries for years.....too bloody bad....get your proverbial heads out of your butts and feel the pain of economic hardship........
Canada has not been a fair trader for decades. China is the worst. But Canada has been weaseling along, protecting Eastern interests against the West and against the US, which protects us.
Trump has the right to do what he wants with his economy. It isn’t an economic WAR. He wants to eliminate taxes for the average family and he wants to bring back manufacturing. Don’t fault him for that. We should be doing the same.
And Canada has belittled Trump and the US for a long time. The latter for decades. So, the chickens are coming home to roost.
Neither of these wars started under Trump’s watch, yet he has gone beyond the call of duty to put an end to them. Name one leader in recent times who has done more to advance peace in the world.

I still have something to say.
May you keep saying these things for many years to come. 🙏
Thank you. That's the plan for now 😁
China & Canada (Liberal Corruption with Trudeau & Con Carney)

Sadly, most people I talk to want to retire outside of this naturally beautiful country.
That leaves the Pronouns and the Liberal Replacement Population. The Liberals can grift until the cupboards are bare.

Peace in the Middle East.
Both sides don't have a great track record in the peace department, but fingers crossed.
Now, if Trump will stop arming Ukraine (it is no longer Biden's war, with endless weapons support, it is Trump's war), we will have peace there, too.
