Librocons Momentarily Grasp the Value of Principles

 


In a sick, depressing sort of way it's funny to watch the Trudeau Liberals and the Poilievre Conservatives squirm and sputter in the face of Trump's threats of massive tariffs as well as outright annexation.  Considering both of these parties' support for Israeli annexation of Palestine (including the mass slaughter being used to implement it) their shock and fear over Trump's madness is a trifle pathetic.  At least Trump hasn't stated any desire to expel us from our homes once he conquers us.  Typing these words, I'm also reminded of Canada's gleeful participation in various [illegal] US sanction regimes against targeted countries like Venezuela, as our leaders panic about Trump's sanctions.

Canada could have teamed-up with Mexico in crafting a response to Trump's bullying.  Alas, Canada has spent past decades slighting Mexico (and the rest of Latin America) and trying to cozy-up to the USA as the only other Anglo-American entity in the Western Hemisphere.  Plus, our governments serve noxious Canadian mining companies who have the abuse of Mexicans (and the rest of Latin America) as part of their business model.

This sad state is the end result of unprincipled politics.  If either of these gangs of shit-heads ever develop the brains and the morality to realize that slaughtering hundreds of thousands of innocent people is wrong (EVEN when allies do it), that abusing people to steal their resources is wrong, that poisoning people to save money is wrong ... well, ... all of that stuff would mean they wouldn't be Liberals or Conservatives anymore.

Who know what's going to happen?  Trump is an idiot with a short attention span.  He is not the sort of idiot described by the idiots in the USA liberal-centrist media.  Poilievre might be working with advisors to help craft the surrender terms that see him become a US senator.  Iran, Yemen, Hezbollah and Hamas (and Russia) might be preparing some surprises if Trump openly allows Pestilence Naziyahooo to get his genocidal freak on again.
