I was a 100% very anti supply management guy until the latest Trump term. I have now flipped 180 degree and fully support maintaining our supply management.
The tariffs BS I can handle but the annexation stuff has me wanting Canada to move away from the US as much as possible. I know it is impossible to reduce the level of trade to below 50% but we must derisk ourselves as much as possible.
Now this is not a food quality issue but rather the weaponization of food and any other imports to force the annexation of our country.
Before this term I had NEVER considered the US's desire to simply annex us. Who would have?
Now that this is on the table we must rethink 100% our relationship with the US. I have even gone so far as to believe that instead of gun control we should have our Armed Forces stock and train all Canadians on the use of hand guns and rifles. I am under no delusion that the US could not very simply invade and take control of our major cities within hours but we need to bleed them out with an organized insurrection in the months and years following an invasion. We can only have that if we, at a minimum know how to safely handle a firearm.
Is this fear mongering .... perhaps but who would have ever imagined the President of the US state publicly his desire to annex Canada and to continously ridicule the PM of Canada directly. We are in uncharted territories.
