Harper came out to say that worst case if he was in Trudeau's position he would have just dealt with the bad economy for a few years until Trump gets replaced.

(Edit: my opinion from here) Introduce help measures like during COVID (some form of UBI) and regulations to prevent banks from seizing the property of those losing their job due to the tariffs and yeah we would end up with more debt as a country, but we would keep our sovereignty.

I'm sorry, Harper talked about UBI and banking regulations? The right honourable Stephen Harper? The one who had to be dragged, kicking and screaming by his own caucus, to respond to the 2008 crisis with anything other than austerity?

That Harper?

Wow.

Priorities. If there's no longer a Canada, then he doesn't get to style himself "the Right Honourable" anymore.

Nah, just the first part, the second part is the logical thing to do if we decide to just tough it up! I've made it clearer in my previous post.

My guy, Republicans aren't going anywhere in 4 years. Canada is part of their goal and they will not stop. The Oligarchs want it and don't want to pay for it. They don't care if both economies suffer in the process because they have ways to profit out of it.

You don’t need to wait 4. You will know by the midterms if it will get better or worse.
