Anyone want to build an exploding house?

That cut skin deep

That cut deep…

Do cucumbers have experience in you?

Oh no… Five Eyes without the US would be called Four Eyes…

We’d better find another partner or a new name

Do the conservatives even have a platform yet?

I mean aside from “not trudeau” and “axe the tax” which are now irrelevant.

Its not a good thing but I dont think it will really gaslight the public. The average persons understanding of if their countries economy is doing well or not boils down to “do i feel richer or poorer than last election?”

Despite what some might think of bidenomics, which showed by most traditional metrics that the US economy was improving and recovering well from the pandemic, people still felt the economy was doing poorly because they felt poor… Because a lot of people now are poorer than previous generations. Which of course those tradtitional metrics dont really take into account that people get paid fuck all now, but my point is just that the official numbers dont mean a lot to the average voter.

Then it would cease to be German.

Were going to need some sort of opt out to the internal market or this would hurt us more than a trade war with the US.

European countries dont need this because they naturally trade with eachother because of this thing some like to call “geography” but Canada does not, and thats not going to change from joining the EU.

Unlike the UK who just wanted to make their own trade deals Canada actually needs to. The EU values the sanctity of the single market more than the value the UK added to it, so they would pretty much have to create an entirely new member section just for us.

Still the freedom of movement, potential upgrades to our democracy, involvement in a rising world power, and potentially a mutual defence pact would be nice. Not too sure about the Euro, if it would hurt or help us.

As an added bonus, maybe when Quebec sees all these European countries that have English named products in their stores they will stop trying to rename Kraft Dinner. (Im Canadian and I live in Germany, half of things are in English and no one cares)

The Canadiano should be the Double Double (Double cream double sugar)

Ive been calling it Mega Texas, but now i guess its Maga Texas

It doesnt matter if there is a backup plan… Canada is the only G7 nation with a free trade agreement with every other G7 nation (not sure about the uk post brexit). Between Harper and Tredeau Canada has been negotiating and signing deals with dozens of other countries. Possibly… in preparation for this.

I agree with you that reducing internal barriers is important, but where i disagree is that you cant just magically move trade as a country. Its up to each individual business. And despite the americans being shitty they still have a the worlds largest economy and our natural trading partner as they are right there, thats just geography, it makes shipping easier.

Its like brexit, the UK wanted to negotiate their own trade deals. Cool. Europe is still their largest trading partner, all they managed to do was fuck themselves… Oh and sign a trade deal with austrailia worth 0.3% of their GDP.

What makes more sense to me is increasing public investment and having people in Canada build things, the idea economy is so much more important than digging shit out of the ground, or renting out things that sit on top of it. Actively working to replace the technologies that we are reliant on the US for.

Well they fucked up the thumbnail, unless Vancouver island and the other islands on the west coast arent allowed to join

Price gouging while blaming inflation. While not a monopoly they’re like the biggest fish in a small pond and engage in shitty business practices.

Wow… I didnt realize travel agents were still around

Id like to see a dark mirror series of star trek starting from ‘evil’ Spock sending the crew of the enterprise back to their reality. Following his struggles to convert the Terran Empire into the Federation.

Only a quarter?
