I wondered when he’d back down, and what excuse he’d give to his followers.

You can’t just “dissolve” fascism though. Until the underlying problem is fixed it’ll keep resurfacing.

He backtracked on the movie tariffs.

And in the meantime how many of my friends and neighbours will be tortured or murdered? I don’t want Canada to be Afghanistan.

You’ll have to excuse me if I don’t find comfort in Europe coming to our aid eventually when it’s convenient while my neighbours, friends, and family are detained, tortured, starved, raped, and murdered for anti-Trump sentiment.

You really think they’re going to send an invasion force across the Atlantic against the most powerful military force to ever exist to liberate Canada?

Not a chance. They’ll frown and shout and enact sanctions but there is no way Europe will mount a serious military operation like that. It simply wouldn’t be feasible.

He’ll start a war that will force him to stay indefinitely.

Canada.

So they can watch them harder? How does that prevent anything?

But you used to have to go find them. Now they’re being inserted right into your feed.

I prefer to call them “Poilievre voters”

And at this stage even his fans are starting to realize he’s an idiot.

No they aren’t.

“In fact, we don’t want them to make cars for us. We want to make our own cars. We don’t need their lumber. We don’t need their energy. We don’t need anything from Canada. And I say the only way this thing really works is for Canada to become a state.”

So he DOES need things from us. If he didn’t need us he’d just walk away and not trade with us. But why would he he want us as a state if we didn’t have something he wanted?

He DOES need us, our workers, and our resources but he doesn’t like that we’re our own sovereign nation. He needs us but he wants us enslaved and controlled.

Agreed. But so is Christianity.

You’ve obviously never embedded a piece of fibre optic cable in your skin. It’s very sharp and will break off inside. It’s not exactly life threatening, but it hurts like a removed and can be really hard to find and remove.

Kids these days relying on wireless everything and don’t realize the security and reliability of a wired connection.

Fibre cable is a lot stronger and more flexible than you’d think. The old days of very fragile cable are gone. You can use it and treat it in pretty much the same way you’d treat copper CAT6 cable in terms of bend radius.

Because he never even stopped.

He is completely untrustworthy.

They criticized it. Don’t you remember the whole “freedom fries” nonsense?

I would love to see China put an export tax on those products equal to Trump’s dropped tariffs.
