So the booze bans, if I remember right, came in as part of the response to the US imposing tariffs, tariffs they justified with a flimsy excuse of 'fentanyl!'. The US didn't like that we responded to their clearly abusive/disrespectful tariffs, by applying more tariffs. Now Carney is negotiating to lower those tariffs in part by ending what little resistance/push-back Canada had shown.

Carney's disappointing.

Still better than PP.

As Trump's lapdog it's hard to say he's better. He's the equivalent of what we thought PP would be.

Then you had a far higher opinion of PP than many of the people I know.

PP would keep us in CUSMA, something we assume LeBlanc is still working to get us out of.

PP would deport more people than he'd let in. We're already doing that. Even stripping people of citizenship.

PP will destroy the environment with a pro oil agenda. We're already doing that.

PP will go after minorities. Carney's indigenous record shows we're doing that.

PP will privatize public assets. Carney appears to be doing that.

PP will end pharmacare. Carney seems to have done that.

PP will side Trump. Look at Iran and explain how Carney isn't doing that.

PP will put Canada further behind by cutting scientific research. Carney already did that.

zzz. PP's conservatives had a DOGE-North campaign ready to go, because they thought Musks approach was awesome -- there were lots of photos of it coming from their Alberta nerve center, when they thought it'd get them votes, even wearing red MCGA hats and all. Saying Carney's fucking up things like social services is warranted criticism, yes, but PP would've butchered everything. And what's this nonsense about "He'd keep us in CUSMA!", the fuck? What is PP, the diaper whisperer? PP would've spread his cheeks so far apart to accept Donalds droopy dick, I don't even know what bizarro rationale you're using to pretend like he'd somehow magically solve anything at all -- if he'd been able to 'stay' in the agreement the US wants out of, then he would've done it by conceding to every demand ever made by the Americans. And where's his negotiating expertise coming from exactly anyhow, what with PP's complete lack of any actual working experience outside of parliament? The states would've said "Fentanyl!" and PP would've accepted their bullshit messaging, designed a whole propaganda campaign around how fentanyl was "a MASSIVE problem in Canada, HUGE, some even say bigger than those forest fires and stuff!", then he'd label it as a China drug and start targeting asian immigrants etc. Last election, the Canadian conservatives literally used the same campaign slogans as Trump - "Make Canada Great Again" and "Canada First" bullshit, and you want to pretend like they'd do anything but bend over for Trump? Absolute fantasist horseshit.

But whatever floats your boat I guess, you can suck off conservatives all day for all I care.

With all the cuts Carney has done the difference between him and doge North is marketing.

He’d keep us in CUSMA!”,

Canada doesn't want to trade with the US. While we know we're trying to negotiate out of it it's uncertain if Carney can get us out or if he's just going to keep sucking Trump's dick. Presumably PP would suck Trump's dick instead of getting us out of it.

PP would’ve spread his cheeks so far apart to accept Donalds droopy dick,

So no different.

The states would’ve said “Fentanyl!” and PP would’ve accepted their bullshit messaging,

He might open ICE offices in Canada or increase boarder security like Carney has.

you want to pretend like they’d do anything but bend over for Trump? Absolute fantasist horseshit.

No, I'm just not pretending Carney isn't.

But whatever floats your boat I guess, you can suck off conservatives all day for all I care.

Carney is a conservative, think what you want but you're the one defending them not I.
