Justin Trudeau taunts Donald Trump after Canada's hockey triumph
Justin Trudeau posted "you can't take our country" after hockey victory.
Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau taunted Donald Trump after Canada defeated the United States 3-2 in overtime in the 4 Nations ice hockey competition in Boston.
Trudeau’s viral post, “You can’t take our country – and you can’t take our game,” came amid ongoing tensions between the leaders.
Trump, who previously mocked Trudeau as “Governor Trudeau” and floated annexing Canada, had earlier imposed tariffs on Canadian produce.
Amid boos of the American anthem and a surge in Canadian nationalism, the rivalry highlights both political and sporting divisions between the nations.
You're viewing a single thread.
If he really wanted to show trump he'd have allied with Mexico to prioritize both their sea trade routes and making a coordinated attempt to close land trade thru America...
Instead he tried to appease fascists, which never fucking works.
As Snotty Nose Rez Kids love to say:
Fuck Justin Trudeau
You want him to upend massive logistics chains for... no real reason. Just so you can say fuck Trudeau.
Independence from fascist demands is possibly the best reason to temporarily hurt your economy. It's chopping off a gangrenous finger to save your arm.
I get what you're saying, but exports to the US are close to 20% of Canada's GDP, so it'd be more like chopping off an arm or two.
... It's not like there's transit fees. We'll see if Trump thinks of that, but it's also something that can generally be dealt with at the time.
That's not the kind of thing you can do instantly, and it's definitely not the kind of thing you do while publicly shouting about it.
My bad, I forgot "moderates" the world over pretend there's no way to plan ahead and when something happens there's no time to react properly...
It's all bullshit, I just forgot a moderate will show up to repeat the same lie.
At least it takes longer on lemmy than other social media.
You have absolutely no clue how any part of our economy works, do you? Even if we could change the rules with a snap of our fingers, it still wouldn't happen instantly since the actual physical capacity does not yet exist.
it still wouldn’t happen instantly
And if you look up you may be able to catch a glimpse of "the point" waaaaaaaaay up there as it passes over your head.
But your gonna have to ask someone else to point it out next time buddy
Just totally shut down land trade through the center of the continent? Wars have been fought over less lol
and making a coordinated attempt to close land trade thru America…
What kind of logic are people using where that sounds like a snap decision with immediate results?
I genuinely am curious because apparently multiple people are coming to the same wrong conclusion.
Like if a 12 year old says they want to become a doctor, are you back the next day asking what the hold up is?
Is planning ahead just that foreign of a concept these days?
Yes, planning-ahead IS that-foreign a concept these days, actually..
Proof?
Brexit.
Millei's eradication of federally-coordinated education, as a means of somehow "improving" the Argentinian economy, also.
Ideology "doesn't need" to think: it "just inherently knows", see?
maybe you've been living on some other planet for the last decade-or-so?
: p
Narcissism's dictatorships never care about reality, because their ideologies/prejudices/"religions" somehow "outrank" actual-reality, youk know?
Exactly the same as how "believers" hold that G-D obeys their belief, instead-of holding-believers-to-some-Universal-standard..
