“I am ready to sit down with President Trump at the appropriate time under a position where there is respect for Canadian sovereignty and we are working for a common approach, a much more comprehensive approach for trade,” Carney said.

This is the way. Leaders need to stop entertaining the orange idiot. He's the shitty kid that breaks stuff to get attention. Trump needs a time out.

I like Iran's attitude. They said "Whatever. Do what you're going to do." and didn't bother having more of a conversation.

This is what Canada needs to do.

I agree on all your points there.

But you have to understand the mindset of the super-elites that are pulling the strings. Borders are an inconvenience to them and their business. They don't want to deal with conversion rate, they don't want to print extra information on labels to respect the law of one specific country, they don't want to manage a PR campaign with locals. All of that is a drain on resources and a stopgap to their growth and consumption.

The US government is openly corrupt and captured, at this point, it's on the verge of being a free-for-all for the super-elite that want their way. If Canada is brought under that corrupt umbrella, they cut a lot of the "inconvenience" for their infinite growth.

Kinda my point with the "Lake Gatun is emptying, we can't run the canal at full capacity." "I don't care, do it anyway." kind of thing. It's how big business seems to work. It needs to be bayonetted out of our species.
