Canada cannot win a trade war with the US. When we are on our knees he's going to ask for Yukon, nwt and nunavut. Saying basically nobody lives there and we don't need it. He can easily buy out northern Canadians by offering lots of money or citizenship and the other 39 million Canadians will reluctantly agree it's the best compromise.

He knows climate change is real and it makes the north more and more viable every day due to its resources and shipping route.

Another obvious hint at this was traitor Danielle Smith suggesting US military bases in the north just last week.

We can pivot and re-orient our strategies. It'll hurt short term but we'll make it. We don't have to win if we just decide to play a different game.

We don't have to win if we just decide to play a different game.

Exactly. We either change the rules of the game or we change the game, because we won't "win" by fighting the orange asshole under the rules he's currently not following anyway.

Imo we need to get Danielle Smith to allow full CAN tariffs on all Alberta oil sales to the US.

Within a week or two the orange asshole would crumble because his base would be freaking out at paying $7-$8 per gallon of gas.
