After Donald Trump’s tariff war began earlier this year, the two nations’ center-left governments agreed to accelerate efforts to revive their beleaguered trading relationship.

Carney and Starmer's governments are "center-left"? Despite their parties' histories, they are both governing to the right of many conservatives of the past. I guess you have to be a fascist to count as right-wing these days.

That said, it's good that they're realising the importance of working together.

Start disregarding their side of the treaties they have with the USA that Trump has effectively torn up. Sell off their US bonds. Strengthen political and trade alliances that don't include the USA. Boycott US goods and services and switch infrastructure away from US companies.

No need to use YouTube. Their own website has the whole talk dubbed into English, among other language options.

So the USA is attacking Venezuela, Nigeria and Somalia, is likely to attack Iran again, and is threatening Mexico, Cuba, Colombia, Greenland, Canada and possibly Panama. Meanwhile it has announced its intention to undermine democracies throughout Europe for not being fascist enough. All the USA's former allies (except Saudi Arabia and Israel) need to realize that the USA is now not an ally but a major threat, and act together to defend themselves.

Canada, Europe and Mexico at least need to be working together to defend their countries from the USA's attacks. Intelligence sharing with the USA needs to stop; adherence to pre-Trump agreements with the USA needs to stop. Unfortunately Canada seems to be pursuing appeasement and Europe is dithering while the USA attacks its democracies. It's time to recognize the new reality that the USA is not an ally but a major threat.

Seems like we're going to need a multinational anti-fascist alliance to stop him, like last time the fascists started their shit.

Some are saying it's also part of the plan to crush Canada, since the US can now steal Venezuelan oil instead of buying Canadian.

Time to quit Namecheap. Can anyone recommend a good, ethical registrar, preferably Canadian?

So that's Venezuela, Nigeria and Somalia the USA is currently attacking, plus Colombia, Cuba, Mexico, Greenland and Canada they're explicitly threatening to attack, and Trump has talked about taking Panama too. Nine countries the USA is invading or threatening to invade. People of the USA, you need to rid yourself of these Nazis before they destroy your country and start a world war.

Brave Sir Keir is standing up to the starving protestors though, despite being too cowardly to stand up to Israel or the USA.

Poilievre would help the USA take Canada if Trump would let him be his Pétain.

If they were decent, what would make them Republicans?

Starmer is useless and stands for nothing but cowardice.

Don't forget Canada. We urgently need to take steps to defend ourselves, including deepening our alliances with other countries.

Canadians are aware of this. But I'm not sure Canadian politicians fully appreciate the threat. I fear Carney may still be attempting appeasement, and some at least of the Conservatives are traitors who would willingly sell the country to the USA.

Edit: case in point:

He has also (today) suggested invading Cuba, he's bombing Nigeria and Somalia, and he hasn't stopped talking about annexing Greenland and Canada. So that's at least 7 countries in his sights.

He has also mentioned taking action in Mexico, and he's already bombing Nigeria and Somalia. Canada and Greenland can't be far behind in his mind. I count at least 7 countries the USA is either attacking or thinking of attacking.

I've never heard Satya Nadella say a single thing that wasn't just buzzword garbage. He's like a human slop-generating machine. Maybe that's why he can't recognize AI slop when he sees it.

I hope people are choosing not to buy it.

It's actual physical books and papers, not just digital stuff.
