Canada is even more dependent on the U.S. for natural gas exports than oil exports. In 2023, Canada exported approximately 84 billion cubic metres of natural gas—all to the U.S.—via 39 pipelines, again leaving producers in Canada vulnerable to U.S. policy changes. Trump: "we don't need their cars. we can make those cars in Detroit" LOL. There is no Buzz Hargrove to save Canada this time. There’s a real chasm between the standards you hold Canadian politicians to to that you hold Trump to. Your overall political outlook is genuinely nonsensical to me if one considers predictability or consistency. Although I will say I do find myself hard agreeing or hard disagreeing on an almost 50:50 basis with little in the middle. not at all, IMO, the greatest Canadian PM in its history beat up his wife for decades. Pierre Trudeau was awesome. He also beat his wife. meh. His son turned out pretty good though. He'd make a fine back bench MP. Canadians knew Trudeau beat Maggie. They still voted for him. again, and again, and again. Pierre Trudeau shrugged off statements that the Canadian army threatened members of the CBC and Canadian press. He turned it into a joke. That day Trudeau-mania was born.
Pierre Trudeau for all his abilities as a politician never really had to contend with a historic ally and neighbour outright not giving a shit about that under certain leadership.
See also, many European countries.
Your posts here make zero sense, you seem to admire the world’s superpower throwing its weight around when they were previous reticent to in certain domains.
It’s part ‘might is right’, which in isolation is how it goes. Except you’re blaming the much weaker partner for the actions of their neighbour:

Today, the United States celebrates Martin Luther King Jr. Day and the civil rights movement by <checks notes> inaugurating a man who first became politically popular for his thinly-veiled racist belief that Black people should not be allowed to be president.

Jimmy left Canada for the US and now he must constantly talk himself into justifying his choice.
If you keep that in the back of your mind his responses make a lot more sense
