There is a chance that Trump will inadvertently weaken the US long term

He already did that the first time.

This time he’ll double (or triple) down on that.

The End of American Exceptionalism

But not the end of them claiming it regardless of the reality.

Then again, their claims of being the bestest ever at everything have been false for a very long time already.

I’m voting ABC.

Whichever local candidate has the best chances of defeating the conservative candidate gets my support.

VIA operates on CN tracks in the west, but that doesn’t negate the overall correctness of your statement.

They’re always late because they don’t own the infrastructure and have to take a back seat to their "landlord’s " schedule.

Gee, arrogant violent criminals want a get out of jail free card?

What a shocking and unprecedented turn of events.

If we can keep PP to a minority we can still limit the damage he can cause.

2 Trump administrations, 2 pandemics…

You don’t fix things by picking the worse option on purpose.

That’s exactly what the electorate just did.

That’s utter lunacy.

I fully agree

goons to wield guns

Such as Hegseth?

That seems to be all he was when he was enlisted.

Go to any Canadian news website and search Danielle Smith.

She is Alberta’s premier (equivalent to a US governer).

That doesn’t really count on a citizenship application, though.

He is, but the same forces that are pushing project2025 and are puppetering Trump are also active in the CPC.

While much less embedded in Canada, the same forces that are pushing Project2025 in the US are also trying to do the same here in Canada. So far they’re not nearly as advanced, and they are still facing strong pushback on their regressive plan, but they are still trying. That shit is leaking over the border.

Fortunately, for now, Canada is nowhere near as far down that fascist path as the US is.

But if you’re trying to escape it, I would recommend against Alberta.

Also they’d have to learn celsius.

No properly educated engineer is unfamiliar with metric measurements.

I just feel like this gesture is symbolic at best.

Governments tend to take incremental measures when trying to get compliance from foreign actors. If you start with the “nuclear option”, you don’t have anywhere to escalate to if that doesn’t get the desired result, or if it causes some other unexpected negative results.

C) Trump has generally had poor relations with Canada.

Not much worse than he has with every even slightly progressive nation.

We just happen to be conveniently nearby.

I heard more demonizing from Trump in any one of his speeches than I heard from Harris and Wals combined during the entire campaign.

I’ll be voting ABC, as usual. Whoever else can show me a candidate that can beat the local Con candidate will get my vote.

Hopefully we can limit PP to a minority government so he can’t do too much damage.

Are we?

Yes, despite what the right wing propaganda saya, we do have a challenging process to go through. And have had for many years.
