Dino Demitris 🇨🇦 🇺🇦 🇮🇱 🇪🇺

My daily thought for the next while Fuck Trump Fuck Putin #Canada #SlavaUkraini My daily prayer Forgive my swearing. God bless all the world democracies with victory over totalitarian regimes and aggressors. United we will win and help guide back those that strayed. 🙏

@cselley Please say this is sarcasm.

I can't think of a single flaw in this analogy. What a triumph.

@thomasjuneau Not if they share secrets and use nato weapons against Cyprus and threaten Israel with them.

No, Turkey is not a reliable ally, but that is the wrong question to ask. It is a necessary ally; as difficult as it can be, it is far better to have it inside NATO than outside.

@AMCKunneke @TerryGlavin USA has more leverage than we do. China needs tech and chips. So yeah he can be like that, but he did try to hard and TACOed. we all buy cheap goods from china. people order from temu, go to dollar store, buy cheap electronics etc. If u want no trade then we need to stop that too

@DemitrisDi @TerryGlavin It is more complicated than that. Trump did not agree to not criticizing Xi in public. Carney did. Trump refused to be marched around in China. Carney obliged. One does not have to be subordinate to a trading partner.

The Carney government should never have said 'we don't talk about this in public,' because it just stiffens my resolve to talk about the government's own sordid collusions with Beijing, in public. I'm stubborn that way. therealstory.substack.com/p/big-money-be…

@ennerut @TerryGlavin Harper increased trade with china too. Also I assume u shop at dollar store, bought cheap dvd players, tvs, clothes, etc and saved money doing it. We created china, all of us. Tell says farmers they can’t sell canola there, tell pork farmer too. Tell Alberta no tidewater pipeline

@DemitrisDi @TerryGlavin Cooperation is also a strategy. Replacing trade with someone 200 miles away with a Communist regime 20,000 miles away seems odd. Short term small thinkers. Or opportunists with ulterior motives?

In the best case scenario, Trump struck a deal to reopen a Strait that was open before the pointless war he started, with the IRGC demonstrating its control over the Strait and potentially extracting fees plus sanctions relief. Thousands of innocents - including hundreds of children - dead in Lebanon and Iran for no reason. U.S. troops killed and wounded. U.S. embassies and bases in the Middle East badly damaged. U.S. standing in the world obliterated. U.S. munitions badly depleted. Hundreds of billions spent. Prices up everywhere. More global economic fallout to come. Putin strengthened and enriched. Just a catastrophic situation even in the best of circumstances. A profoundly shameful episode in American history no matter what happens next.

@AMCKunneke @TerryGlavin I am not disagreeing-just saying it’s all of them so what do we do? Not trade with any? Sorry but the world is bleak throughout human history. USA trades more with china than we do, so r u saying they should stop?

@DemitrisDi @TerryGlavin Russia is not a democracy. Do you think the PRC hasn't killed people on Canadian soil? They kidnap people and take them to China to be imprisoned or killed.

@hrandbiz @TerryGlavin @AndrewJWHaynes USA has more organized crime than all, and they do nothing cause trump and his buddies benefit - as did the dems when in power. And if think cpc r clean in all this, then u r naive. U think Harper got his current gig cause he’s clean? Pp has 10mm net worth from being a mp. Cmon

@TerryGlavin @AndrewJWHaynes @DemitrisDi And transnational organized crime in Canada unfettered, is an issue for USA security and for every serious Canadian. Crime scene with benefits for Liberal insiders.

@AMCKunneke @TerryGlavin If u believe Russia is a democracy too then u r right. Modi is no saint. Sure better than china but they tried killing citizen on us and Canada soil. The spy on us and influence cpc. So not much better.

@DemitrisDi @TerryGlavin India will be better than China. At least it is a democracy.

@Barb_Here @TerryGlavin Lol what polls r u getting cause pp popularity is always at 25-30 likability. Never gonna win with those numbers. CPC relied on Trudeau hatred, nothing else and they got clobbered in a lay up election because of him. I’m cpc voter that couldn’t vote for him cause he has no skill

@DemitrisDi @TerryGlavin Hardly

@AMCKunneke @TerryGlavin Ok if not china who because we r not going back to 80% trade with USA. Europe is good but not enough to make the delta. India? Maybe some. So who? Sask farmers r happy with it, should they be poor cause u hate china? We r an exporting country, without trade we will be nothing.

@DemitrisDi @TerryGlavin I would prefer no China. They don't have many bargaining chips. They play hardball, but they are flooded with stuff they made and no offset.

@Barb_Here @TerryGlavin Well enjoy losing then. Rest of Canada hates him.

@DemitrisDi @TerryGlavin I like PP—sorry (not sorry)

@achrosen @TerryGlavin @cbcwatcher All USA wants now is our oil and gas. They want to restore auto, and manufacturing. Both are not our friends, populism is strong in USA. This is not going away when trump goes. Dems r just as bad. Do cpc people forget Harper was trying to diversify from USA? Why build tidewater?

@TerryGlavin @cbcwatcher @DemitrisDi All China wants with us is a USA portal on the doorstep.

@Barb_Here @TerryGlavin Replace pp and cpc have a chance next election.

@TerryGlavin @DemitrisDi Not sure we can vote out Carney either :-(

@AMCKunneke @TerryGlavin Not only him, brics formed own payments system to move away from usd. That the USA biggest fear cause their economy depends on usd advantage. It’s more than trump, Biden too was reshoring. We can be naive moralists anymore. Just trade with eyes open but we can’t be no china.

@TerryGlavin @DemitrisDi Way back in 2019, as Governor of the BoC, Carney spoke about the renminbi rivaling the USD as the world's currency. Cunning Carney. uk.finance.yahoo.com/news/bank-engl…

@ennerut @TerryGlavin Trumpism is not, nor is populism. Biden was no better for us. Us is not going to reverse on free trade shrinking so we have no choice but to seek markets. We cannot replace it with domestic demand, no matter what liberals say. Every % down with USA need to be replaced somehow.

@DemitrisDi @TerryGlavin Trump is a short term problem after a long term allegiance with our neighbour and best trading partner. This to shall pass. Unless the Carney Liberals totally screw us over. They’re well on their way. For obvious reasons. Not in the interest of Canadians.

@joanne_selkirk @TerryGlavin @cbcwatcher Trudeau is cpc excuse for everything what is your point? CPC knew india was meddling in their nominations and did nothing but I never hear anyone complain. Just china because it’s liberals. At least I call them all out and say it is what it is. Us is isolating even during biden.

@TerryGlavin @cbcwatcher @DemitrisDi Trump is liberals excuse.. for everything

@TerryGlavin 2024 was result of years of retaliation for the arrest. Had that not happened our China trade was growing. With canola and ag back that will normalize. We need to get it to Europe size to matter . But then u should care about India too since they r just as bad. Modi ain’t going

@DemitrisDi "Offset loss." Funny. Canadian exports to U.S. 2025, 67.4%, to Europe 2024, 15.1 percent and growing, to China, 2024, 4%. Only bankers and oil companies see any value in the China trade, and America will outlive Trump. You can't vote out Xi Jinping.

This is suspect John Fetterman (D) just bought Micron $MU in late March Micron received $6.165B from the CHIPS Act, which is the largest award in the program Fetterman sits on the Commerce Committee, which directly oversees CHIPS Act funding He also bought $MSFT, $GOOG, $AMZN, and $ERIE... We'll see where this goes from here

@marklevinshow This is the stupidest way to do this. I never negotiate in public. TACO Tuesday prevailed like usual cause no one believes him.

How much shall we bet that he does not wipe out the whole Iranian civilization?   We all know what he’s doing to try and impose a deal on the regime.

@TerryGlavin 1) not replace USA, offset loss which should have happened long before as Harper wanted 2) election interference is happening with US in Hungary and will happen here. So we have no clear good guy to work with with economy like either of them. Unrealistic to stop China trade

@DemitrisDi No one in my family is foolish enough to believe that China can get us out from under Trump's belligerence or that Carney's collusions with Beijing have anything at all to do with the Mad King. The fix was in more than a year before Trump was even elected. nationalpost.com/opinion/terry-…
