I agree. Somehow, bafflingly, Mark Carney is still going in the opposite direction.

Carney's ersatz #BuyCanadian policy means #Canada 'will allow foreign-controlled multinationals to qualify as “Canadian” simply by running revenue and some employment through a local subsidiary.'

This includes gigantic US military contractors like General Dynamics.

'There likely won’t be a single moment when we all wake up and there’s no Canada. It will come piecemeal via the repeated subservience and obeisance to the Trump regime of Canadian leaders who seek short-term accommodation and fleeting personal profit for themselves.'

#Canada 'needs to shift from reactive correction to proactive preparedness. With wildfire season only months ahead, this is the window when preparation matters most. Waiting for the next crisis to expose the same weaknesses is not resilience, but repetition.'

After the end of the Cold War, "benefits of globalization did not reach all citizens, leading to a maldistribution of wealth. The dissatisfaction and hatred toward existing political parties and society of those who feel left behind have been amplified through social media, widening the division."
