re: How weak does Canada look vs the Saudis right now?

As someone who works for a Canadian company (that does 95% of its business in america) i can tell you that this is 100% how they feel. They realize their economy is going south but still double down on their virtue signaling.

I find it hard to believe that such a mindset would be so widespread. I know they're wrapped up in that inferiority complex of "We're not America! We promise!" pretty good, but surely the majority of the population sees that they look weak and foolish any time they pretend to assert themselves. Their PM thinks playing to the cameras like a goddamn movie character is legitimate foreign policy. Even the worst US Presidents followed up showmanship with policy, even if it was disastrous. This cat just plays pretend.
