Joseph is being polite. As I explained in interviews on CTV, CBC, and SRC (Radio-Canada), the proper analogy to counter-protectionism is castrating yourself to spite your ex because of an inability to move on from the divorce.

I get that this elbows-up crap plays well politically within Canada, but as @Afinetheorem said, it's "economic malpractice." Our physical proximity to the US isn't a weakness---it's one of our most valuable endowments. The Canada-US border is totally unique. Geographically and topographically speaking, there's nothing else like it in the world. It's far cheaper technologically for Ontario & Quebec to trade with the midwest & east coast than with BC & the prairie provinces. And vice versa: getting stuff from New York City to Los Angeles is technologically more expensive than getting that same stuff to Toronto. Regardless of what political leaders on both sides of the border say and do, Americans and Canadians will want to trade intensively with each other. Whether we have a free trade agreement or 25% tariffs, that's still going to happen (a 25% tariff is still much lower than non-tariff cost of moving stuff to Europe or Asia). Donald Trump can't change that, and neither can Mark Carney. Frankly, Carney's single most important job is to manage our relationship with the US so that we can get as much economic value out of it as possible. Trying to design policies to redirect economic activity away from the US is just going to make Canada poorer, and it's going to be counterproductive, anyway---again, the geographic and topographic realities are simply too strong. (By the way, the fact that we've somehow gotten poorer than a geographically isolated, but otherwise fairly similar, country like Australia is shocking. But it's totally wrong to expect that making ourselves more effectively isolated is what's going to somehow make us richer.)

@CestuiQueTakes You mean Protestant in terms of always becoming opposition to the one true party, right?

He wanted to win and he's a Catholic.
The CPC remains a very spiritually Protestant institution.

A kind of important question we Conservatives need to ask ourselves is: Why did Mark Carney become a Liberal and not a Conservative?

Told my wife that altcoins are a long term investment.
She said I've been saying that for 7 years.
Told her to zoom out.

Those room appraisers during Covid never left. Cockroaches and interior decorators, man. Burn it all down.

My life circumstances have forced me to completely abandon my usual enjoyment of the NHL but, just popping in here long enough to say, good for Buffalo. Love this. Go Sabres.

The ESPN just did not make the crowd sound like this. The pops from this crowd are incredible. If you had to watch the national broadcast, sound up to hear the THUNDER get louder each time…

I have smoked, handled and frequently even enjoyed marijuana from time to time, and I see no reason to be rehabilitated or cured of that taste, just because a gang of faddish yahoos say marijuana is evil…

It dropped levels of use and became passè among youth. That we ever viewed cannabis different from alcohol is a sad history. And not one shared by many grassroots Conservatives before or after boomers. It'll die with them. Time to move on.
