Canadians don't want it. Neither do Americans. But Trump keeps talking about it. And nobody is coming to the rescue except all of us. Sierra Club of Canada's Conor Curtis tells us where to start.
Excellent articles. I especially appreciate the insight that Trump is a run of the mill abuser. He is an abuser, and most of his victims don't know this yet, thus how he's been elected again. Like most abuse victims they will return to him over and over again until they have a breakdown or a breakthrough.
Derek, it's easy to write something off as bullshit when you don't like the facts it presents or the conclusion it reaches. If you can point to anything in this post that is inaccurate, we'll be happy to consider a correction.
As for the west being treated unfairly, we've covered that, too...so there may be another post in our series that you'll want to weigh in on.
Given Trump's history, this could all blow over by next Friday...or next week. Maybe it will; maybe it won't. Meanwhile, I've heard news about --in essence--boycotting American products. That's a bit like a mouse slinging pebbles against an elephant but some boycotts would be good for our health, anyway. E.g., why not ban glyphosate from coming through our borders? It's a proven out-and-out poison. The 'Murricans have MAHA--how about MaCHA? Make Canada Healthy Again! That would encourage local food product, improve our health, save us tons of money, and strengthen our resilience. A ban on a substance also cannot be construed as a counter-tariff. Personally, I'm sick and tired of finding out that most products in my favorite grocery store are just poisonous crap empty of real nourishment, imported from south of the border. What are we waiting for? Let's get rid of this sh-- and get strong on Canadian food! Is there a more important issue than our health? I don't think so!
What a bullshit story! First of all it was the liberals that hav3 caused all this mess not trump. If liberals treated the west fairly well would not be having this problem plain and simple!
Had the NEP been enacted, Alberta would gave had a more stable economy and Canada a more stable energy supply. A couple of scandinavian nations did narionalize their energy program - they’ve enjoyed a healthy economy and society.

Such a good point, Suzanne. Unfortunately, leaders and advisors with that experience should be all too easy to find.

I agree with you on the poisons that they are feeding us. Boycot them into non existents. The people that approved these potions should go to jail!
The abuser analogy is right on. Maybe we need leaders with experience with intimate partner violence to advise Canada on how to protect ourselves.
Fire article Conor. Thank you! 🔥
Very Good Writing!
