politics

the pre-election polls don't matter, they're not winning

it's a question of whether a few more seats is worth ceding Trudeaus power early

They will call it when they think they can win the most possible seats

it is worth it, because in our system, the number of seats you have is way more important than it is in the US

if you want to control negotiations with Trump, I could see them delaying though, since they have power now

but in general, yeah I agree they'll call it when they think they're strongest

Honestly, they could call it right now and force the cons to have a minority government because of trump

instead of the strong majority they were probably going to get before

Pika, you don't actually think that they'd win I hope, lol

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

oh, I see what you mean

and will have to settle for a weaker minority government

mb

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

your provinces have problems trading amongst themselves?

embrace federalism

Due to differences in rules, regulations, etc

yes

it's the same in the states Dialga tbf

i never really heard of it being an issue

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

its stuff like california making retarded regulations about how pigs need to be raised for bacon to be sold there

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

what i want is that little stretch of land between washington and Alaska. it bothers me that alaska is almost connected to the rest of the US but isnt

I still think you vastly overestimate how many Canadians would be okay with just becoming the US

just wait for the aggressive propaganda campaign

and I think you vastly underestimate it

Most countries like their sovereignty

ESPECIALLY the under 30 population

Canada would rather be indian than american

come on spooky

you would get to use real money

Canadians are angry about that too Rusp, policians would just rather be rich than Canadian

another case of Jews ruining a once great White nation

The western half is already Chinese, theyre importing the Indians to fight them. Same style as the boarder, full combat gear and big sticks

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
