It’s sickening to watch the dying empire from this side of the border. I imagine Big Balls, et al. are just delighted to short the entire Canadian economy every other week.
1- deep lab in Saskatchewan to study subatomic particles, the next holy grail
2- longer term , largest source of fresh water , US south, west and southeast have nothing
3- nuclear power
4- home of norad
Trump trying to steal Ukraine minerals
Also trying samething with Canada via tarriffs
Won't work with Canada because Trump has no leverage
Tarriffs are a bluff to ensured mutually assured economic destruction for both countries
Both countries are sources for important resources & minerals for future batteries
Trump trying to repeal Biden climate policy so he can rebrand put his name on it
But really, I just don’t understand it… what is the goal? We have a strong & cooperative relationship that benefits us both
Nice

Deadly
Don’t push them too far
