  • There can be peaceful annexation. East Germany, Newfoundland, Hawaii (debatable), Hong Kong, Alaska and more...

    In those cases, both sides (mostly) agreed to the annexation. None were conquered (again, Hawaii is debatable).

  • I know a gun owner who should not have one. He legit scares me, and i know one day he's going to pop off. However, to date, being an incel creep with despicable ideas isn't enough to prevent him from owning. He follows every rule and law while gleefully fantasizing about the day he can finally use his stockpile against the evil pedo Liberals in government and at the CBC.

    He should not have a gun, but there is no legal reason to prevent him from having one.

  • OK, I don't disagree with those points.

    The EU would be a massive undertaking, but it removes a vulnerability we have, which is our unfortunate dependence on the United States, which quite frankly, may not exist next year, let alone 10 years from now. Where I disagree is on the need to be friendly. We need not be friendly if they are hostile. We don't need to be hostile in return, but we shouldn't endeavour to act like we have in the past. At this point in time, they are a hostile nation engaged in active sabotage against us.

    I'm also not worried about companies fleeing to the US. Firstly, I believe that unless they fix their shit right now, there will not be a US in the near future. Business hates uncertainty, and the stock markets are showing that. The EU has many business that HQ in the EU even under their "stifling" regulations. That would continue to be true for many Canadian businesses especially when those markets open up entirely to them, without the worry of currency imbalance affecting their ability to sell.

  • Why would we want to return to a normal where one guy can wreck our economy. Not to mention, the US will never be the same again. Why the fuck would we want to lash ourselves to an empire that is dying in real time?

  • I wish more people got that point.

    Just yesterday, a friend asked me how I can be anti-capitalist while still working for a corporation, making good money.

    My answer was simple. What the fuck else am I going to do? I don't really have options.

  • I am not a Ford fan, but I do trust his motives. He doesn't want the US to destroy us because he wants to continue enriching himself and his friends. Trade wars are bad for capitalism. He is a capitalist. Free trade is good at making people rich. Trade wars are not.

    So no, I don't think Ford is pro-Trump. He's pro-profit and when Trump was all about business, he supported some of what Trump said, now that Trump has shown he is anti-business, Ford is against him.

    There is no doubt in my mind.
