Bitching and moaning that the US/UK won't strongarm KSA for them.

Between this and NAFTA renegotiations, Troudeau looks like a high school drama teacher.

It will all come out in the wash. Canada can suck it along with the rest of our so called allies.

Have you talked to many Canadians lately? Virtue Signaling is basically their national identity. They just LIVE to have their virtue affirmed . They love Trudeau, he might be the most Canadian person ever. They will be delighted to lose if it increases their sense that they are measured, reasonable people, unlike those American brutes.

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.

Exactly why the President told them to frick off on our trade deals.

People need to grasp that we are going to win again. There is no fricking reason Canada should ever force us into any damn trade deal.

MAGA We gonna keep winning

What did Trudeau do, bow to their leader after he sent 20 of his citizens to attack us on 9/11?

The oil news, a big part of their economy, is looking awful, despite the uptick in prices. Trudeau is staring at Obama level failure. Poor people suddenly lose the will to virtue signal.

Do yourself a favor and watch a few hours of Canadian “ news” broadcasting - just for fun . Either the national broadcasts or even the Toronto or Vancouver local news and listen to how these people talk and what they value . It’s pretty illuminating.

Personally, I have never met a Canadian ( other than Todd Bertuzzi and anybody who ever played for the Red Wings ) that I didn’t like . Canadians are great people. But they have created a kind of small ball , sad sack political culture that has adopted Progressive virtue signaling as a defining creed. They are SO over the top, it’s ludicrous. It’s an entire nation that has organized around Progressive platitudes and slogans. Like school girls. The fact that they have hockey and lumberjacks and RCMP Mounties doesn’t change the fact that they are the most effeminate nation in the Western Hemisphere.

Only problem with this is sentence is the UK part.

What pull does the UK have that could be on par with the United States of America?

Their GDP is smaller than fricking Mississippi.

Or sword fighting or dancing whatever the hell Trump was doing with those Saudis......

At least Canada isn't afraid to criticize the Saudis.

Think this thread would have gone the same way if Trudeau didn't huff up to Trump a few weeks ago?

No one is pro SA over Canada. People are pro US and anti Trudeau.

Now run along now and think about what I taught you today.
