@d01tg0d0wn I mean what was he going to do? He was either going to capitulate to Trump which means going after the dairy cartel in Canada, which is suicide to a Canadian politician, or he was going to do nothing...
I'm still not sure what boomer elbows up people were thinking. They're just factually insane. Yeah, little Canada will go up against the world superpower that's 15x better than us in every economic regard and like 1000x better militarily. Uhhh, what?
Boomer: Carney is so smart and has lots of degrees and stuff, he'll totally out negotiate Trump no problem.
Me: You realize Trump's entire life's work is based on negotiation and he even dictated a book to be written on it... Carney is a central banker who has never had to negotiate a single deal because everyone has to listen to him. He's way out of his element.
Boomer: Canada isn't backing down. We're way better than the Americans. We'll diversify with the EU!
Me: The EU is across an ocean. What do you figure the transportation costs compared to trading with the USA would be? I thought you cared about the environment... Those giant transport vessels that go across the ocean are some of the worst apparatuses for pollution in the entire world.
Boomer: Elbows up. It sounds like you don't like Canada, so maybe you should just leave.
Me: You guys are clinically insane.
