Yup. Buying our own and fostering our economy and development is the best way to get ahead of the curve.
We often prioritized american stuff, especially on the defense and digital products front, and thanks to our support and mass adoption they managed to refine the quality and competitiveness of those products.
It's time to prioritize and further develop our own stuff, suited to our needs.
Yup. This is not just about who gets to lead Canada, it's also about who can protect it against foreign malicious interference. Now more than ever.
It's time for cohesion, both internally and with allies, not division. When the enemy is at your doorstep trying to get in, you forget petty disagreements (in comparison, at least) and stand together.
Did someone else hear a shout that sounded like "I'm not special!😭"? Down south?
Eh, must've been the wind.
Heck yeah. Go Carney.

What she did is what everyone in her situation should do - not just if your visa is revoked, but if you are one of the target minorities.
It's hard to get your life turned upside down and leave your comfort overnight, and very unfair. But you don't want to let them make the first move on you.
As hard as leaving everything behind feels, the chance of being imprisoned and being powerless in case democracy falls and tyranny begins is far, far worse.
Many people who chose not to flee newly-formed totalitarian regimes lived to regret that choice dearly. As did those who didn't have the choice to begin with.
Escape to safety, then denounce and seek justice and restitution. Safety first, always.
Yes, yes, every piece slowly falls into place. *Cue maniacal villain laughter
It's like they actually studied history, to try and replicate the desired results as identically as possible. Or they didn't, at all, and this is just 2+2=4 scenario but with history.
If anything it's cause for national insecurity, given that if they invade, per NATO rules, an attack on one is an attack on all.
But Trump is used to getting what he wants by breaking the rules and facing no consequences, so I guess it'll be a FAFO thing.
I must admit, I do fear that if it comes to that NATO will fight the usual way - strong worded letter. For a buffoon who can't even read and only responds to a fat stick to the face.
Inb4 Trump starts invading because 2-3 MAGA nuts from greenland said they wanted to be part of US, so that's plenty of reason for the whole Greenland to need it as well - "they'll see why it's good for them once they're ours, trust me".
Inb4 Trump, the supposed "best ally and biggest contributor of Ukraine" throws a rage fit citing all sorts of dumb reasons we unsurprisingly will already have heard from Putin's mouth.
