Serious question... Is it possible that Poilievre is just illiterate or politically clueless and genuinely doesn't understand the difference between being a member of the EU and being an associate member (which TBH, hasn't even been defined yet)? Being a member means giving up control over trade..

The Dems are basically a herd of single-issue cats that vaguely line up in the same direction. As someone seeing this from the outside, they're not even really that "left" by my country's standards, but more "center" to "center-right". I'm not even sure what their platform is. That's the problem.

The Werewolf @thewerewolf.bsky.social · 18/09/2026

Well, first off, this isn't an actual counterargument. My criticising the Dems in no way means I support the GOP. My point was that the Dems aren't really effective as a political party. Second, being better than the worst doesn't actually make you good. Just less awful.

The Werewolf @thewerewolf.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

And it has to be pointed out that the Democrats have done little to fix these either (Obama was an exception, but got hamstrung by his own party) and since the US has effectively become a de facto two party state (even though nothing in the Constitution requires this), there are no other options.

The Werewolf @thewerewolf.bsky.social · 16/09/2026

No more so than the fact that the US is the only industrialised nation without national health care where the number one cause of personal bankruptcy is medical expenses. Or that allows "at will" hiring and firing. Or has a lower "tips" minimum wage. Or uses incarcerated people as slave labour.

much more an open trade and participation in mutual security arrangement - more like NAFTA+NATO but with the EU exclusively. That's a GOOD thing and long overdue. It's a pity (although hardly surprising) that Poilievre is using this to fear monger on the right. He has no other cards to play.

Yes, the only country that has ever attacked Canada was the USA. The only times one of our nations mobilized to defend the other was ALWAYS when Canada defended US military interests, not the other way around. And the only time NATO article 5 was enacted was for Canada et al to defend the USA.

The thing is, attacking us is a lose/lose/lose situation. It tells everyone else in the world your true nature. It puts you up against some of the most vicious fighters on the planet (the Geneva Conv was created to deal with Canadians and Poles). And if you "win"... we're now on the inside heh heh.

My favourite bit is when Vance says that no one has attacked Canada because we're protected by the US, someone should have reminded him... The ONLY country that has attacked Canada WAS the US... in 1812 (yes, we existed as a colony named "Canada")... With friends like that... who needs enemies?

The pedant in me wants to argue that the referendum was advisory, not obligatory... but your core point is too valid: enough Brits were dense enough not only to vote to say that the UK *should* leave (the advisory part), but then vote for the Tories four more times. Makes weep to be a Brit.

Can the press please stop using the word "mysteriously" when they mean "unexpectedly"? "Mysteriously" has baggage. It implies a sense of impishness or worse, nefariousness - that someone is trying to do something surreptitiously, when in fact, it's just something we haven't figured out yet
