Being charitable... I'm not sure this is the best messaging he can go with. He doesn't seem to realize it's over. Most of us are finished with the US and we can't trust them at this point. He needs to start standing up for Canada and presenting a message of strength, independence and unity... Not continuing to offer platitudes and extending olive branches. Frankly, it looks weak, and it doesn't instill any trust that he will do what's necessary when the time comes.

He finishes off with a show of strength that hits all the right notes, but when it comes after the weaselly opening it just seems like too little, too late.

I'd also add that Poliviere has been dwarfed by the magnitude of issues.

When things were only slightly bad post covid, people still had the capacity to worry about things like how many genders there are.

Then things got existential level bad after Trump came in. Things got very serious. A lot of Poliviere's even recent complaints felt inconsequential while our sovereignty is under attack.

Yeah, a carbon tax that results in perhaps a percent of price inflation is just nowhere near as serious - neither in kind nor degree - as 25% across the board tariffs. And if we need to have emission reduction measures in place to trade with the EU, and trading with the EU is now an existential priority, then frankly he can sit down and shut up. The adults are talking.

(the above assumes all the talk of economic annexation is bluster, which is no longer a foregone conclusion)

I don't really understand the carbon tax debate. Carbon tax would reduce carbon emissions and cause mild inflation. However corporate greed causes mass inflation and provides no benefit. Why aren't people more mad at greedflation?
