This is major progress.
But to get US to beg for economic ties with Canada, we must break military/geopolitical sycophancy ties. Charge a high price for NORAD, Helping the US in a pretenseless war on Venezuela should have a publicly high $ figure as compensation for our evil. Pure evil in Latin America and elsewhere, is something we've officially always supported. Iraq the only exception. Supporting pretenseless wars and coups in Latin America is supporting the same (lack of) principled war on Canada, including fentanyl pretenses.
His speech is promising, but to open Canadian trade, we need to stop pretending that the US controlled world is the free world. While our Ukrainian diaspora has a one sided political criteria, even if they are descendants of nazi war criminals fleeing prosecution for their war crimes, siding with geopolitical lies just gets their country destroyed to the last Ukrainian, and peace with Russia is far more important to defense against the US.
This is a return to the election night speech. The journey has been extremely ugly and unproductive. This is a commitment to saving Canada, but it has to be followed through aggressively with certainty, no matter how polite/diplomatic the language has to remain towards the US.
