Were fucked either way. Either "we" choose to not leave the titanic...or we get shot trying to.

If Canada ever tries to meaningfully distance itself from its relationship to the US there will be war or at the very least a coup. Probably the ladder, a "coup" Maduro style. (Its my belief that the Maduro thing was largely theatre, the government sold out under threat of war. Possibly including Maduro). I can imagine "CIA and CSIS partner to take out Chinese agent Canadian PM". I don't see how a grim future can be avoided in the next decade(s). Blowback I suppose.

Were too stupid to realize its in our own self interest that Ukraine capitulates with Russia. The one time being self interested is a net good people "choose" to follow some "morals". For fucks sake just side with the "" imperialist"" like we do every other time.

Yeah, the US wouldn't allow Canada to become its Ukraine obviously. Also, don't forget that Canada imported a fuck ton of nazis from Ukraine after the war to break up the labour movement. And that's why there is a massive support for Ukraine here now. You have nazi grandkids like Freeland running around at the highest levels of our politics.

Ya, I mean Canada imported many Ukrainians to colonize the prairies because the climate is similar. Disenfranchised Ukrainian diaspora are pretty loyal to Canada and vice versa. Part of my family is "Georgian" Doukhobors, really Ukrainians.

They were kicked out of Tsarist Russia because they were pacifists who refused to pay taxes or join the military. First they got sent to Georgia. Later Canada was happy to get them to settle in the prairie and afforded them freedom to exercise their religious practices for some time...though Canada backtracked of course lol. Their practices were quiet interesting, communal living ect.

The history of Canada using Ukrainians as a tool to strengthen the state is long.

So its really no surprise. Smh
