I don’t know - do you get to choose those sorts of things now, or does the callsign get bestowed on you once you reach a certain level?
It’s beside the point - nobody starts a shooting war with a country they can’t even beat at hockey.
As for trying to break us economically - The government is already moving to strengthen ties with the EU - if/when they can broker some sort of deal to supply natural gas and oil to the the continent, we can securely develop our energy resources for the next century. You’re already seeing stories about Quebec politicians changing their tune on pipelines. I wonder why.
Cancel the F-35 deal, and buy Gripens from Sweden. Save billions, help a European ally.
Long term, I see this whole situation being an absolute boon for Canada.
Trump has done more to create unity in this country in the last two week than Trudeau has in two terms. He is supergluing this country together The same way Putin has super glued Ukraine.
And credit to Vlad here - Krasnov is completely hamstringing the US’s global influence for a generation, no matter what short term gains he’s getting from the stock markets.
Canada imports more American-brand vehicles than China and Germany combined - it’s over 20% of the Big 3’s export business. Trump has made these brands radioactive overnight.
This is going to be devastating for Detroit. It’s going to be devastating for America, frankly.
Canada will be fine. Every so often, it helps if people like you.
