Canada

it was really fucking weird and kinda unnerving as to how much they know.

The original info-sharing deal - called Beyond the Border Action Plan - began with Obama and Harper in 2011 and included actions like Addressing Threats Early and Cross-Border Law Enforcement.

The CBC has written extensively on its implementation.

thought i wrote this comment and forgot about it lol.

i think we may have a "canadian bacon" style drama played out in the political theatre of the world stage.

carney is a banker, and relatively rich one as well. whos used his station to stoke companies that we know hes involved with and invested in. and that have global oligarchs and billionairs involved, often with american origins.

i believe its all just a show, coke and pepsi, same company. the beurgeois look out for each other, and they own the media, so the story we get is the one they want us to hear.

using fear of american invasion or economic annexation has given the ruling class a blank cheque, and they seem to be using it to do the opposite of what they claimed they would use it for.

fighting climate change, fighting fascism, authoritarianism, expanding social programs and lowering the price of housing, groceries, etc.

they placate us with crumbs and claim its a feast, a payment here, a "working class tax cut" there. but in the end all it does is enrich the private entities its supposed to combat.

its all bullshit. its all a show. and the majority of people are too caught up in the headlines and clickbait titles to actually read the oldest and most consistent subtext.

the rich get richer, the poor get poorer. they distract us with bread and circus and hate for our fellow man. sowing division and fear, only to increase their chokehold on the people.

the best thing a leftist has to say about carney is that he isnt pierre poilievre. but he conveniently came at a time where the left was desperate for options, and the media sold him as our "trump card" and this is what we get..... a literal conservative, passing himself off as a liberal, the only difference being that he "supports LGBTQ rights" because its politically convenient for him to do so. if it wasnt, then he wouldnt.

all we got so far is more pipelines, an LNG plant, and laws that reduce the power of the people, and incresse the police/surveillance state. "for our safety". and a separatist movement who carney seems to ignore the treasonous implications and leadership by his new pipeline buddy, danielle smith.

and most of the new infrastructure built for these oil projects will be paid for publicly, but owned privately. and in part owned by large multinational companies, some with american origins.

counter intuitive to say the least.

its all bullshit.

the rich get richer, the poor get poorer.

the fact is, canada has no gold reserves, its main source of reserve currency is USD, US treasury bonds....fucking petrodollars....

if the US fails. we go down with them.

we arent fighting shit. they are integrating us into a future run by anarcho capitalists and techno feudalists.

I've been downvoted here a couple times for pointing out just that: Here is just one example. Please feel free to browse my profile history.

While lurking I still see on Canadian reddit city subs people recommending LinkedIn, Indeed, Moving to the US for work, etc. I would argue even online most are still deluded, let alone real life who are still voting these authoritarian neo-libs.

I know it's hard to believe but the majority of Canadians are traitors just as much as these 15% of Albertans who are seperatist. Grow a pair and delete all your American profiles, divest out of S&P500, protest the government to divest CPP and other hundreds of billions out of the US, but most won't do even one of those because actions speak louder than words, and that's just too much work for most Canadians. This will get much, much worse, before it even starts to get better.
