What's this cut from?

The USA was always the odd man out...

People love to love Canada, it's some kind of weird super power. We can get away with the worst shit and the world just sees maple syrup and hockey. And then Canadians bask in that false reflected glow, and start to think that's what they're really like.

It's not satire, it's just sarcasm.

The trollbots that used to howl to defund the CBC and fuck Trudeau have recently had their prompts changed, and now they are promoting Canada, because a Canada that is fighting back against the USA with the support of the world is exactly what Russia would want to happen.

Under the hypothesis that Russia influences Trump, the point is to drive a wedge between the USA and all other Western democracies, the same way it attempts to create conflict between factions within the USA and other democratic nations.

The benefit of a tarrif on Tesla vs opening the market to China is that we can easily undo it if there is a US coup, Trump gets medicated, gets burned, whatever. There's still the potential that this is a temporary situation, not the new reality. If we open up to a third party, we can't put the genie back in the bottle.

It's time for Liberals and Conservatives to merge

I'm in my disturbingly late 40s and I can still run more than 15k in 90 minutes. But I wouldn't want to run back.

ha ha ha I totally forgot O'toole even existed. And in my head, in place of his face, I can only picture the road salesman from The Office (US).

They fuck us harder than the Americans, and now we're lining up for the privilege.

Bots that three months ago were raging against Trudeau like he personally shat on their keyboards are today extolling saccharine praises for everything Canadian. Because perversely that is currently a better angle for creating conflict and disharmony among Western democracies. And boy are we there for it. Everybody loves us again, it's like the 90s all over. Except Canada is still the same colonialist country, nothing but a bank, a communication company and an oil company stacked in a trenchcoat. Don't believe the bullshit.
