Weird how quickly Carney has had to pivot from “China is the biggest security threat to Canada” to “we are proud to partner with China as part of a new world order”.
The canola must flow. Doesn't get as much press as auto manufacturing or oil and gas but there are thousands of people employed in the canola industry in Canada.

Weird times indeed.
Might have something to do with how quickly Canada had to pivot from "The Americans are reliable trustworthy allies" to "we are not the 51st state".
Weird times indeed.

I wonder if this eventually leads to Chinese EVs in Canada.
I'm not a fan of China, but it's a fact that they are probably more reliable than the U.S. at this point. They are a little more pragmatic in their approach to trade at least.

At least China abides by the agreements it makes. I've heard it described as Lawful Evil (China) vs. Chaotic Evil (Trumpistan). They'll both #### you over, but the chaotic evil one will do it for whatever reason and whim that comes to its head.

If you thought this season would have a happy ending, you haven't been paying attention.
Nope. And all you’re doing is telling on yourself. But it seems you rather enjoy be-clowning yourself around here.
There are lots of republicans and conservatives who no longer support Trump. Anyone with a speck of decency and integrity wouldn’t support attending a WH ceremony lead by a demented fascist POS who rapes children, threatens the entire western hemisphere and attempted to violently overthrow the government on Jan 6. The normalization has to stop.
But maybe you can start another attention seeking thread on it.
Or perhaps the only rational choice is to go to protect your millions in income. I would bet the flames would go to the white house and the nhl would encourage it. The political stakes are now real and there are consequences to political actions. People with wealth and status to lose in general will bed the knee.

I don’t think evil is the right way to describe China.
Self interested utilitarians, so more of a neutral in a DND sense.
Governor Tim Walz responds to the announced investigation
Two days ago it was Elissa Slotkin. Last week it was Jerome Powell. Before that, Mark Kelly.
Weaponizing the justice system against your opponents is an
authoritarian tactic.
The only person not being investigated for the shooting of Renee Good is the federal agent who shot her.

Massie and Khanna, the two main forces behind the Epstein file release bill have been pushing for a Special Master/Monitor to oversee and expedite the release of the files.
Guess what?
The U.S. Department of Justice has just formally moved to block the appointment of an independent monitor or special master to oversee the release of Epstein-related records
We have subsidized Denmark, and all of the Countries of the European Union, and others, for many years by not charging them Tariffs, or any other forms of remuneration. Now, after Centuries, it is time for Denmark to give back — World Peace is at stake! China and Russia want Greenland, and there is not a thing that Denmark can do about it. They currently have two dogsleds as protection, one added recently. Only the United States of America, under PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP, can play in this game, and very successfully, at that! Nobody will touch this sacred piece of Land, especially since the National Security of the United States, and the World at large, is at stake. On top of everything else, Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland have journeyed to Greenland, for purposes unknown. This is a very dangerous situation for the Safety, Security, and Survival of our Planet. These Countries, who are playing this very dangerous game, have put a level of risk in play that is not tenable or sustainable. Therefore, it is imperative that, in order to protect Global Peace and Security, strong measures be taken so that this potentially perilous situation end quickly, and without question. Starting on February 1st, 2026, all of the above mentioned Countries (Denmark, Norway, Sweden, France, Germany, The United Kingdom, The Netherlands, and Finland), will be charged a 10% Tariff on any and all goods sent to the United States of America. On June 1st, 2026, the Tariff will be increased to 25%. This Tariff will be due and payable until such time as a Deal is reached for the Complete and Total purchase of Greenland. The United States has been trying to do this transaction for over 150 years. Many Presidents have tried, and for good reason, but Denmark has always refused. Now, because of The Golden Dome, and Modern Day Weapons Systems, both Offensive and Defensive, the need to ACQUIRE is especially important. Hundreds of Billions of Dollars are currently being spent on Security Programs having to do with “The Dome,” including for the possible protection of Canada, and this very brilliant, but highly complex system can only work at its maximum potential and efficiency, because of angles, metes, and bounds, if this Land is included in it. The United States of America is immediately open to negotiation with Denmark and/or any of these Countries that have put so much at risk, despite all that we have done for them, including maximum protection, over so many decades. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

The mad king….in full glory. I have to admit I was completely wrong about how bad this second term could be. It’s even worse than I thought. The world needs to remain steadfast and not give an inch to him in this Greenland issue. No negotiations, nothing.
