They are not going to win, but cons are quite likely not getting a majority government now
politics

oh, I see what you mean
and will have to settle for a weaker minority government
If trump said nothing at all, did not threaten tarrifs etc, cons majority would have been a sure thing
now its up in the air, leaning towards a minority government
I know it's not happening, but you do realize if Trudeau goes full trade war he's retarded
I agree, but I do think we should diversify our trading more since the US is abjectly being dicks to us lmao
otherwise we are equally retarded
The main thing that should happen is, there is a lot of interprovincial trading issues that stop trades between provinces
if that is removed, the reliance on the US is lessended and Trump doing trump things is less of an impact
Due to differences in rules, regulations, etc
it's the same in the states Dialga tbf
doing business anywhere is fucking brutal, there are so many laws that don't need to exist
I think Canada's best move is to do minor retalitory tarrifs to the US, not enough to cripple us, and to move towards better economic policies
and rn at least, online commerce gets to avoid all of them, but they're trying to close that loophole
anytime you see a politician talk about regulating online commerce
it's code for fuck the economy over
so clearly, we need to buy Alberta and cut Canada in half
solid strategy
Alberta was the highest in favour of stuff like that, at I think 16%
I think you could get 30-35% in favor of it today, without changing anything
but as always, yes it's a meme
That poll was taken like a few months ago
>polls
I still think you vastly overestimate how many Canadians would be okay with just becoming the US
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak That poll was taken like a few months ago
just wait for the aggressive propaganda campaign
and I think you vastly underestimate it
Most countries like their sovereignty
ESPECIALLY the under 30 population
Canadians are angry about that too Rusp, policians would just rather be rich than Canadian
and again, it's a meme and serves to just destabilize Canada, it's not magically going to get you guys to fix your problems
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak Canadians are angry about that too Rusp, policians would just rather be rich than Canadian
Isnt this still below 50%
immigration, housing, imports/exports, etc.
if the US did literally anything to lay long-term incentives for Canadian annexation
then it would be real, but they're not so it isn't
I do think if Canada actually focused on fixing their problems
it's a very achievable goal to not be in a position where the meme even elicits a reaction
but with how bad things are everywhere in Canada right now, the prospect of it getting worse, of not having a single politician stand up and even point it out
that's how you get to a significant minority of the population wanting to leave, especially younger people who want to go work for American companies anyway
and are hoping beyond hope that the cross-border visa programs aren't cut in the next year or two
I looked it up, 40% of Canadian college graduates (4-year degrees) either receive US citizenship (likely by marriage) or are on a work Visa in US/Mexico (tracked together), 1-year after graduating
this includes Canadians studying at US colleges and abroad, which accounts for ~10% of Canadian grads
this does not exclude Candian 4-year degree recipients who immediately enter post-secondary degree programs
that's in no way saying "40% of young people want to leave" or anything radical like that
but it's a trend that to me says "a significant portion of those with the means to leave Canada would rather start their life in America"
Yeah, the US economy is better
People who are starting their career will always go where more money is a majority of the time
(same reason shitter indians want to flood better countries)
I also just want to say, I really like Canada, in case that wasn't obvious
I think sometimes I come across as anti-Canada
or that I want us to beat you guys up or smth
