“Politically, this country has been a bar fight for a decade. That’s over. There is no Liberal or Conservative position on being annexed. Doug Ford, a Conservative premier, stood next to a Liberal prime minister this weekend and said he was glad Carney didn’t sign and promised to cut off electricity to the entire US eastern seaboard. David Eby in B.C. is already drawing up lists of ways his province can help Ottawa inflict pain. Canadians have done 22 billion in Damage to the US economy this year alone by pretending it simply doesn’t exist. The 2025 boycott of American goods never ended. It’s been a year and a half, and the shelves still have the little flags on the Canadian products. We are not a political coalition anymore. We’re a country, and countries with our history don’t negotiate the terms of their own disappearance.
That’s what Trump is dealing with here. Mark Carney is 40 million of us. And when we’re not nice, we are fucking AWFUL.“
