Donald Trump threatened Canada’s Mark Carney during his rambling Davos speech on Wednesday (21 January), where he claimed that the nation “only lives because of the United States”. During his address at the World Economic Forum, the US president said that Ottawa should be “grateful” to Washington for all the “freebies” it receives. “Remember that, Mark, the next time you make your statements,” he said. It comes after Mr Carney warned that the old world order was in the “midst of a rupture” and was “not coming back,” during his own speech in Switzerland on Tuesday (20 January).
Of course opposing fascist US hegemony is a good thing, what I’m more trying to say is that my country, Canada, still is under the US thumb.
The problem is that too many Liberals are nationalists, and they choose to fight the US over Canadian nationalism. I oppose a US invasion under the grounds of anti-imperialism and national liberation.
