And despite everything, short of a real war we will continue to trade with the US at a reduced capacity. Which is fine. The goal of our trading strategy ought to be diversification to avoid a monopsony-like situation where any individual buyer is buying enough of our exports to severely damage us if they stop (that is, the situation we're in now).

As far as I'm aware this only works for Bloomberg. A flaw in their site design.

Lemmy was adding an unwanted slash for whatever reason, look at my edited comment.

You can get past the Bloomberg paywall by adding a period after the .com

So, instead of

www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2025-03-29/trump-tells-nbc-he-couldn-t-care-less-about-higher-auto-prices

The last datapoint is interesting. All four of the top parties lost a little ground? Where did it go? Surely not all to the PPC, and the Greens don't look like they gained that much.

That's pretty dumb, Carney. Our current situation is a product of too much focus on too few export markets. Refusing to expand trade with China is choosing to act with a limb tied behind our back for no good reason.

Whoever picked that picture of Poilievre, 👌

I would rather advocate for socialism within the context of Canada's current democratic system than within the context of a fascist, expansionist USA. I'm sure Quebec sovereigntists feel very similarly about their issue.

Four years of nothing will put the CPC in a strong position for the next election.

A liberal majority under a red Tory leader is the second worst outcome we could get. Hopefully we can dodge the worst and second worst outcomes.
