Canadian Politics Redux

I wonder if the 2 Micheals will get a vote in ballet so they can vote from that Chinese shithole that Trudeau and his senile buddy in the whitehouse seem content to let them rot in.

Prime Minister O’Toole, Singh, Paul, Blanchet, or Bernier would fair no better… Canada has very little power in the world. They will not be coming home until the Huawei scandal is finished (China gets its way)

we are more dependent on their trade than they are from us and that is why we are not aggressively stirring things up.

if we were serious we would be placing trade sanctions and boycotting them, including the next precious Winter Olympics

Canada needs to negotiate the 2 Micheals release by returning Meng back to China?  And give Biden and the US the finger while doing it.  The US doesn’t respect other countries so why should we cooperate with those assholes…

Skippy actually thought senile old biden would help…Biden can barely remember his own name.

He forgets that we (Canada) are not a global power. For better or worse we are dependent on the U.S for many things. There are many great things and differences about Canada, but again, a global power we are not. There is nothing we can really back threats up with militarily or economically because we are just as dependent as our trading partners. 

We are still trading heavily with China and supplying military equipment in the Middle East despite their human rights records (and we’re one to talk)

Meltdown99

Really.  We are not a global power.  Who fucking knew.  That’s a shocker.  Just because you are not a global power does not mean you need to be bullied by the US whenever it’s suits those dildoughs…

As far as I’m concerned give her back for the 2 Michaels…

you and I both know these are just trumped up charges.

Meltdown99

Don’t you ever get tired of the US dragging Canada into her messes…

they dragged us into a 20 war in Afghanistan that was completely pointless…but you can bet they want our dollars spent to try a stabilize/rebuild
the 2 Micheals
Iraq...how many billions did we contribute to the rebuild cause
The mess in syria

And it never stops.

If the US is such a great country maybe they should act responsibly...

They are the super power that has run over the world whenever they feel like it.

Oh, they throw a tizzy when Russia occupies Crimea.  What a joke the US is.  Oh, guess what, we got troops there as well. 

After the US and Saudia Arabia get done killing children in Yemen Canada will be expected to contribute to some sort of aid.

And for all the help we give these flag waving, national athem hugging clowns, they also tariffs on our goods whenever they fell like it...

And insist on keeping the border closed to none essential travel for fully vaccinated people even after we announced the opening to fully vaccinated people.

With friends like that, who needs enemies.

And whether any of us like it the Chinese buy our resources no question ask when relations were good...

I don't get why.  It doesn't feel like any party has enough support to form a majority.  Probably end up with a similar result as the last one.

Still no election call, but it’s coming.  Trudeau is the only one that wants an election…

HughFreakingDillon

well of course he's the only one. cuz the other two know at this point they have zero chance of winning.

At this point I think I'm disenfranchised with both provincial and federal governments.  I've only voted green once before, because it feels like their a disorganized dysfunctional party without much of a platform, but I think they're going to become my fuck you vote.   Especially after the Liberals double downed yesterday on the only way to solve the climate crisis to sell more oil through the pipeline expansion.. sigh...

I was a Green Party member many moons ago and can confirm... disorganized and dysfunctional.  

That said... yeah we're in a real bad spot as Canadians.  My 'fuck you' vote is still going to be for Trudeau. And it's honestly still only because of the fellow at the gas station with the "Fuck Trudeau" t-shirt and decals all over his car and the anti-trudeau graffiti all over the 401. 

Just listened to the foreign minister's presser about the two Michaels in China and like..  am I happy? No.  Do I think any other politician in Canada right now would be able to make me happy? No.  Are we ever going to get honesty? No.   Just the nature of our shit sandwich. 

When the election gets called...  I honestly think the results will be almost identical to the last election.  Minority liberal government. Again. 

That said....... who knows what can happen during a campaign... but it's likely going to be more silly bickering and attack ads all over the place.

Rumour has it... election on September 20th.
