Canada’s constitutional monarchy has been a way of distinguishing Northern North America from the United States. Both Canada and the United States are definitely in need of some re-engineering. Why not create a context where the people of both polities can work together on formulating a new plan?
Agree. Did you notice that when Trudeau was cuddling up to Starmer and King Charles in joining the creepy love-Zelensky cult, neither the King of Canada nor his First Minister in UK said a word to indicate that Trump should cease and refrain from lusting after the acquisition of Canada.
Trudeau didn't declare war on Trump anymore than Mexico's Claudia Sheinbaum, or China's Xi Jinping did. Trump declared war.
I've no love for Trudeau, Carney or the Libs. Just stating facts.
Trump referring to Trudeau as 'Governor of the 51st State' was provocation enough, followed with tariffs.
We are all being played here.
Firstly, Trump is not against the Ukraine war, he's continuing the agenda of past US presidents. The theatrics of the Zelensky 'no soup for you' was for public consumption. Keeping the public riled-up in their individual nationalism wars, distracted and divided so they'll be too busy to be united in demanding an end to the war preparations going on.
You present, Amanda, a sensible critique of my efforts to capture in writing what is really going on.. Certainly Trump started the ball rolling as he started his presidency with a sudden spotlight on Canada. That was surprising... his onslaught of talk about tariffs, 51st state, and Trudeau as "Governor." Frankly this shot across the deck was startling and quite demeaning and threatening to Canadians. It has also stimulated Canadians to start thinking and talking about our country in new ways. That's what I'm trying to do here.
These outburst from Trump were mana from heaven for Trudeau. Why? Let's go back in history. Trudeau's approach to governing Canada started to coalesce after Trump got into the Oval Office in 2016. Trump was a great target for Trudeau who began to present himself and the antithesis of Orange Man bad. He just started taking shots, being Mr. anti-Trump rather than a nation building PM.
Jump ahead to post-1st term when Trump leaves office. Biden and the Democrats created the Jan 6 terrorists against Trump's " Deplorables." So Trudeau and the Lib/NDP woke gang cast the Truckers and supporters as Canadian terrorists and criminalized them in trials that are still underway. Suddenly a few specimens are singled out at Coutts Alberta and set up for three years of proceeding on the Coutts 4 trial for "a conspiracy to kill RCMP".... a murder trial without any actual murders. The jury finds the Coutts sacrificial lambs not guilty but the judge still gives them each 8 year sentences in jail. The trials of Tamara Lich and Chis Barber are stll going on.
Trudeau hires Bernie Farbers "Canadian Anti-Hare Network" to develop an anti-Trucker narrative. The pro PR spin doctors go to work wrongly portraying the Truckers as the seed of a pro-Trumpist "neo-nazi militia" making Jeremy Mackenzie the supposed leader. This kind of antics from the Trudeau bunch, who actually are facilitating a decline of a significant chunk of Canada into a drug addicted homeless tent camp , brought the former PM and his captive RCMP/Dept. of Justice enablers into disrepute.
Average working people who can't get jobs or pay their bills are fleeing the country. The simple provision of housing is too much for the Trudeau "idealists" to handle. Trudeau resigns, but as I have explained he is miraculously allowed to remain Prime Minister. He then goes into overdrive representing Canada is all sorts of European meetings. He makes promises of what Canada will or will not do in the future. He joins with his woke soul buddies, all hated by very large segments of their own constituents, to take on Trump for the supposed sin of changing course on Ukraine.
Anyway it all empowers Trudeau to go back to his old occupation of targeting Trump and basically declare war on him in the name of saving Canada.... his Canada that is pretty abused and beaten down these days due in part to his years of negligent and criminal behaviour. That is some of what I had in mind when I used the phrase "declaring war on Trump.
Currently, Canada is in a pathetic state of turmoil politically and economically all because of our incompetent narcissistic puerile Prime Minister. With the "orange man" Trump who is an even bigger narcissist changing his mind on a daily basis vis-a-vis tariffs, there is no excuse that parliament isn't presently in session to somehow deal with this crisis. Moreover, Trump genuinely dislikes Trudope which certainly doesn't help solving the ongoing trade dispute. I have never been a fan of the British parliamentary system, and this crisis serves as an example of why Canada should scrap this anachronistic way of governance, something that unfortunately will never see the light of day.
Some intelligent and conscientious people especially in Alberta want to take Trump up on joining the USA. Check out the work being done on this topic by Prof. Bruce Pardy at Queen's University. From my recent research I would say an obvious thing we could do before some grand geopolitical transformation comes to fruition, is to fix the Office of the GG so whoever fills that Office is not a political appointee of the PM. Then that GG person might be better at representing the Crown in making sure the rules are followed in Parliament. What are those rules? That's certainly debatable. I think the idea of enforcing the Confidence Convention, which already exists, should be embraced. It should be the responsibility of the GG to do so.
Having graduated from an American University and having worked and lived there, if you had asked me many years ago if Alberta and/or Canada should join the US, I would have said yes. Fast forward to today, there is no way I would want to join the US. I'm of the opinion that BC, Alberta and Saskatchewan should separate from Canada and form their own country. I'm sick and tired of Alberta sending billions of dollars out east via transfer payments. Trump just came out with even more offensive rules against Canadians today declaring that we must now register at the border and submit to finger printing and paying a fee if your stay is more than 30 days. This entire conflict is rapidly escalating and getting worse by the day. Without strong leadership from our government, Trump is the kind of predatory leader that will always try to take advantage of any situation that displays weakness, and unfortunately Canada is blatantly weak right now under the pathetic leadership of the Liberals.
Yeah, I just can’t wrap my brain around how the new chosen one Mark Carney is to now lead the Liberal party and simultaneously become the prime minister of Canada without even being elected and without even holding a seat in the House of Commons! How is this even possible?!
I agree our laws need to be seriously updated as clearly the situation we find ourselves in now is actually very bizarre along with Trudeau being busy busy busy ever since he said he was going to resign where he was once again expected to just be a placeholder until an election was called. Our laws are nowhere near clear and precise enough and with the corruption of the Liberal party you can’t expect them to do anything they would be “expected” to do especially if it helps keep them holding the power! We need clear concise language with 0 loopholes they can take advantage of!
Look at you Sonya stepping forward to present sound constitutional analysis. Keep it up. In my initial rantings I didn't even get into the issue that at no time has the current PM of Canada ever faced the Canadian electorate or even the voters of a particular riding. How did that happen? Its frustrating to think that the sellouts who call themselves journalists are not pointing their cameras at the GG's office. I doubt that Poilivre, who should have made an issue in the violations entailed in the Liberal Party transition, can recover under the circumstances.
Aw thanks Tony, your words mean a lot. Then there’s this… all legal too… along with the all out in your face corruption we can see everywhere now touching all facets of our society with them not even TRYING to hide it anymore.. from NP have you seen it?
So the next world war will be sparked by the battle to control Canada? Well we do live in a very important country whose own future will be integral to the making of future world history. How about considering a new way of organizing North America as Canamerica? Freeland's analysis of this situation is sufficient to justify investigation of her state of mental disorder

Haven't read your article yet but I will. That said, I suspect Mark's regime will be Keir Starmer on steroids. Brace yourselves.
Agree. Did you notice that when Trudeau was cuddling up to Starmer and King Charles in joining the creepy love-Zelensky cult, neither the King of Canada nor his First Minister in UK said a word to indicate that Trump should cease and refrain from lusting after the acquisition of Canada.
First time I disagree with Prof. Tony Hall.

How might Carney feel about Chrystia Freeland's idea to get coverage from the French nuclear umbrella to protect Canada from the US?

GG Mary Simon: "Justin dear, the peasants are revolting."
Trudeau: "I know...right!? Hook up your boy with a proro?
GG: "Done. I just can't say no that hair. Teehee!"
