    The point isn’t that Carney can fix it, but that they’re not interested in actually opposing the US despite his recent speech on US imperialism. We get it, your economy is extremely tied to the US and you’d be hit hard if you actually took a stance, but Iran is being bombed because they took a stance, Venezuela got their president kidnapped for taking a stance, and so on. Not opposing imperialism is obviously the path of least resistance, but it doesn’t make it the path we should be taking, considering people die every day for this bs even in peacetime.

        Cut off the oil supply. The US is a wasteful shithole that blows through 20 million barrels/day, but only produces 13. The majority of the rest comes from Canada.

            They could stop being yet another oppressive western nation and discontinue bending over for Trump/the US. This isn’t new behavior, Canada’s a removed.

                  Major modern colonizer countries are the United States, China, Russia, and France. Criteria for being considered a colonizer have to be a little bit more strict then “I have wasted toons of money trying to control a country between 1936 and 1941 for prestige”.

                    The Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Mozambique, Suriname etc. would probably disagree with you.

                    Not to mind the fact that much of the US and France colonialism and neocolonialism is fully backed by allies.
