The most important thing @mark-carney.bsky.social can do for #CanadaSky is election reform so that we never have to worry about a Conservative majority again. Otherwise, his achievements are temporary. #ElectionReform #FairVote #CanadaSky @markgerretsen.bsky.social

IMO this is the best way to resolve the trade issues with the USA.
It is obvious rational discussions are not possible.
Every new agreement etc greatly strengthens Canada's position.
Canada is strengthening our position in the world while the USA destroys theirs.

Hoekstra hinting that Canada’s trade future depends on us taking the F-35s isn’t “diplomacy” — it’s intimidation.
And that alone is reason enough to walk away from any deal.

This is the true “Elbows Up” moment, we need to say FUCK the US at every turn possible, anything that isn’t already under a signed contract needs to be ripped up and tossed in the trash, along side of that Yank constitution that has been used as ass wipe and tossed into said trash.
Of the retired generals who signed on recommending the F35 I wonder how many have Lockheed stock in their portfolio. Will Canada let history repeat itself like they did with the Aveo Arrow and once again cave to US interests.
