Was a pipe dream to think Carney would stand up to the orange menace.
we need a troops here to defend against American Invasion
Sounds like the US has Canadas permission.
No, it sounds like Canada needs its troops at home to also defend itself against the US.
Eat shit Carney. At least Trudeau had the guts to publically say that there won’t be a snowball’s chance in hell of Canada being the 51st state.
As part of NATO’s enhanced Forward Presence in Latvia, Canada has more than 2,000 troops deployed under Operation Reassurance.
Maybe do a bit of research before screaming.
Maybe the guys who wrote the article should.
This why google/firefox/waterfox etc exist. Go look up facts to support your stance before whining.
Im not against helping if we can but we are mostly the next in line for that demented ghoul empire dream so preparing here could be a good idea for our troops
Who tf do you think is next after Greenland? We need to stand with Greenland
But are we preparing?
Drawing the line at Greenland would be better for us. The US economy need to know the world will turn on it.
Also all of this is good for China. Trump hates them and then through stupidity does everything to help them
I would also think defending Greenland would be good training/rehearsal for Canadian troops and equipment.
“Sweden, Canada, and the Netherlands have confirmed deployments as part of the same multinational operation” according to Newsweek, citing “multiple outlets.” I’m pretty sure I heard about it on CBC radio news.
I don’t know, but it would be pretty strange for Canada to be left out.
What a disgrace for Canada. Once again, my country makes me feel ashamed.
So you would rather Canada send its troops away and leave itself vulnerable to US action?
American here. We’re #1 with shame.
Operation Arctic Endurance - military exercise in Greenland organized by Denmark. From what I can find online, which is very little, Denmark sent invitations to other countries to participate. We don’t know if Canada was invited. What we do know from the article:
Canada’s Foreign Minister Anita Anand is set to open an official consulate in Nuuk, Greenland’s capital, in the coming weeks, and has expressed support for the island’s sovereignty in recent public statements and bilateral meetings.
Other countries know where we stand. Let’s wait and see if we get invited.
They’re probably thinking “Canada’s got the arctic training covered” and so don’t need to invite them for it.
And/or, Greenland understands that Canada’s proximity to the US makes sending troops before something actually happens dangerous.
I thought we were invited. To me, this is a Carney L for Canada until demonstrated otherwise (edit: sorry, I realized I’m talking in sports clichés: an L is a loss, like a W is a win)
As I understand it:
We already have a contingent going for a preplanned exercise.
What we are not doing is stationing additional troops there indefinitely. Probably because we need them here for when that orange moron listens to Navarro or Miller again.
There are those people - deranged from a lack of coastline and mountains - who would slag Carney no matter what he did here.
Ah, the same people that dont know that Canada lost five refineries(at least!) When Conservative Mulroney signed NAFTA.
And now, Washington state has no income tax because of that, because they gained said refineries.
Feeling strongly about whether this is an L or a W is insane, on top of the inherent problem of being that black and white simplistic.
First of all, you are basing your knowledge off of random news articles you read. Assuming the PM is competent, they will be making decisions based on intelligence reports that both include everything you know, and a whole crapload of stuff you don’t.
He’s literally playing a game of Diplomacy, against a mad man backed by demons. Give him some space to cook.
While it’s not clear from the article why Canada is not joining its allies, it certainly doesn’t look very good. If Canada does not have veey good reasons, it’s essentially defecting from the alliance and thereby siding with the aggressors.
No. This is a democracy and I reserve the right to criticize leadership, thanks.
Criticism isn’t inherently a bad thing.
Uninformed criticism is.
And I have the right to criticize the over confident and under informed.
Yeah, obviously. When you hit me with this obsequious bullshit, though?
He’s literally playing a game of Diplomacy, against a mad man backed by demons. Give him some space to cook.
I’m going to tell you to stuff it.
In response to the confident claim that he made the wrong move in a game where the claimant knows less then half the relevant information.
Again, if you feel strongly that his is an L or a W, you’re probably a moron.
“He’s playing 4D chess” he’s letting a demented senior boss him around and he doesn’t care because he’s too busy selling off our natural resources and trying to bust union strikes. Carney’s a fucking idiot conservative who I have zero trust in.
If he really wanted to bolster us against the rise of fascism he’d give us the election reform we were promised a decade ago. He doesn’t give a shit about that.
What happened to ‘Elbows up,’ eh?
Science has yet to uncover what it is about Trump that makes liberal politicians so weak in the knees.
Whatever it is, it certainly seems to make conservative politicians get on their knees.
The substance known as capital.
The US could see this as aggression. This is the correct tactic.
If you’re a coward and a fool, maybe.
Yes, it’s extremely important that the US sees us as utterly compliant and not in the slightest bit aggressive. The best way to deal with Trump is to always give him exactly what he wants at all times.
I know you’re being sarcastic but you could totally be a poilievre speech writer.
Canada like usual act like the usa bitch
Man, you nailed it. Feeling ashamed of my country today. Don’t know why you’re getting downvoted.
You should change your username to “mrdowner” because I’ve never heard a single positive comment from you. Always the same negativity.
Mind your goddamn business. Either bring your counter arguments or shut up.
Your post history is as negative as mine. You just have a stupid vision of patriotism
Lmao bro got mad
If you are not mad during those dangerous times we live in you are the problem
Touch some grass dude.
Get lost
The door’s that way, downer! Don’t let it hit you in the ass on your way out lol
Lmao, what do you know about my views on patriotism? I call out .ml for its bullshit and mostly browse otherwise. You don’t know shit about me xD
You are as bad as the ml people just a bunch of hypocrites when someone is mad about the country they worship. Canada is a nato member greenland is a nato member both are thretened by the usa yet carney still suck the usa dick
