I have a lot of issues with Trudeau but the one thing I have to give him is that he can really deal with Trump well

Side note but since when is Canada a major source of drug cartels and fentanyl production lol?

    Wow. Hard to believe that is the incoming head of, currently, the most powerful country. It’s interesting that “Retweet” is “ReTruth” on Trump Social. A bit on the nose that, the truth is whatever we say it is, no? It feels like a collective delusion, which I suppose it is

    Never. Canada is never a significant source of fentanyl.

    Just wait. We’re gonna reject the milquetoast bigot like they did, because we have a high number of halfwit yokels like America has. Having been raised yokel but left the community to attend schooling, I see all my former neighbours heartily endorsing the leopards as family pets.

    This is what I don’t like about him, he should have been transitioning us into an EU economy

      You’re delusional if you think Canada will ever decouple its economy from the country it shares a multi thousand kilometre land border with

        Trump is doing the uncoupling, though what we need to do is to expand our horizons: EU, UK, Ukraine, Turkey, and yes, Mexico—instead of trying to throw it under a bus to appease Trump.

            That it can function otherwise and stability helps in the long run

            Also we should get back into beaver hats

              Hard to argue with your second point. Can’t argue to your first point because your name has me thinking of other things…

    I’m dreading pierre winning next year now that trump is going to be In power. At least Trudeau has experience dealing with trump. I fear Pierre will be another Harper that caves to anything America wants of us.

      I mean, you do you but it’s a Canadian politics community and Donald Trump/Justin Trudeau are pretty (to put it mildly) relevant to Canadian politics

      I’ve seen a few comments from people who’ve blocked posts by keyword. “Trump”, “Musk” etc. I think it’s totally fair to want to curate your feeds to fit your interests. You might want to explore that as an alternative approach to what IMO is a valid desire.

      I’m worried for you if you just block by community because:

      1. You’ll be perpetually playing whack-a-mole and it’ll be an exhausting and frustrating experience for you. And that would suck.

      2. You’ll eventually have blocked such a significant swathe of Lemmy that it might feel artificially empty to you. And that would also suck.
