I’m not sure one can say that the Pakistani government has been responsible as it has allowed the militant group that was previously funded by Osama Bin Laden and committed the 2008 terrorist attack on Mumbai to continue to exist on its soil.
That said, I am by no means absolving India’s Hindu nationaliat government for the injustice of revoking article 370.
The only way this could hypothetically accomplish reshoring is if it was heavily government subsidized which has not been the stated intention. Trump wants to keep tariff revenue to enrich himself and his cronies.
No one is investing millions to reshore when Trump changes his mind on tariffs every few days.
Any tariff over 100% stalls trade completely. He’s probably feeling pressure over that.
Sounds like he’s negotiating with himself in the corner while China laughs at this point.
Old people. Boomers still use Facebook. Many even use it as their primary news source.
A public office should not be promoting a private enterprise. That’s not what tax dollars are for. Musk can pay for marketing and advertising like the rest of his competitors do.
Hopefully other nations see this cronyism and tell the US administration to stuff it.

A system that allowed one to pirate corporate American made or distributed content while being able to give back directly to creators would be nice.
State control of corporations and industry through force is a key ingredient of fascism. Might as well put a swastika on the MAGA hat wearer also.
America sells a ton of services. Netflix, Amazon, Uber, Visa, Mastercard etc. Its possible to cut most out but very difficult to cut it all out in Canada. Perhaps it’s easier in Europe.
This is the part of the ‘trade deficit’ story he and his supporters intentionally leave out. America has a massive trade surplus when it comes to exporting services.
You know what comes with a depression right? America is already setting the stage for its fascist phase. I wonder who the good guys will be as America turns heel.
Its rich relative to the value they produce.
This guy secured a government pension by the time most people are still trying to get their footing financially. He’s also never created anything of value as a career politician. At the very least Justin Trudeau was a drama teacher and snowboard instructor. Carney has had multiple ‘grown up’ jobs. I wouldn’t feel bad for PP.
I don’t know thats its too high especially of it was going to be much more than that if not for Trump’s threats, Trudeau’s resignation and Carney’s ascension.
Too close from whose perspective?
The liberals had no business winning this election. All metrics pointed to a conservwtive land slide until Trump got involved and Carney seemingly handled him better than Trudeau.
Carney is going to have to perform above average in his first term otherwise the liberals will be absolutely decimated in 4 years.
This is borrowed time. Even an average performance now will guarantee Poilievre a win in 4 years. The Liberals are going to have to get more done in 4 years than they have in the past 10 to prevent that.
I don’t know if America is the right place to take advice on that at the moment. Whatever plan is being implemented there has clearly failed profoundly.
Unless you’re saying Canada should learn from America’s mistakes but the countries are very different so I doubt the lessons would be meaningful.
Certainly doesn’t bode well. Carney is going to actually have to make a real impact in the next 4 years or the next election will be a landslide for the conservatives. This is borrowed time for the liberals.
I’m totally okay with taking a shot on someone who is actually educated and respected as opposed to a career politician.
Many Western nations are turning to political outsiders out of frustration with the status quo. Conservatives and the far right have more effectively tapped into that underlying desire and capitalized on it.
Here we have an outsider who isn’t a dog whistling regressive populist. That’s a huge win for Canada in my book.
Definitely makes Canada stand out relative to the US, where the choices are bad and apocalyptic bad.
Yeah this is the most ham fisted go at it.
