I also think some of these are being oversimplified, and some made out to be a bad thing when I think there's more nuance to it. Of course there will be overlap, and you can think Pierre will do everything anyone in the US does, but I don't think that'll be the case. Maybe you don't have people in your life that are effected by these policies? I do, and can tell you it's very disturbing. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What nuances tho? Eg, Can you explain to me PPs version of "parents rights" vs the US. I don't see any difference. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't know how how similar/different PPs version is vs the US, I haven't paid enough attention to the US version. I'll assume it's similar though if you're mentioning it.

I certainly don't agree with many of her domestic ideas, but those don't effect Canada, and at the end of the day I don't really care what path the US voter wants on that front. I do think she'd be a far better person as a NATO partner, trade partner, etc. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Exactly. It's the same play Vivek was making. Trying to be the most MAGA of the also-rans while hoping Trump's legal problems would sink him.... I'm guessing it just got too expensive to stay in the race, so now he's angling for Veep, same as Tim Scott. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It probably bodes well for her being a default the GOP can live with, if the orange buffoon self destructs. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There must be some fierce discussion going on in DNC circles over their ticket. Perhaps there is still hope for a centrist ticket of DNC & GOP supporters based on national security and economic priorities. Doesn’t appear Halley would support that. Negotiating such a coalition would take a lot of time so also wishful thinking. If the Trump/Biden showdown is to be avoided the most likely scenario would be Biden stepping aside. Would whoever is pulling Biden’s strings be prepared to let go? Can their control transfer to Harris if she became POTUS? Harris is an insider now so maybe that works. Trump will likely win if he goes against Biden. Many of his supporters like his positions on border security and making the Euros pay more for Ukraine. I can agree with these concerns. But, at the end of the day the USA has to support Ukraine and playing politics over that support will cost thousands of lives and undermine USA credibility internationally. The spin-off concerns globally could truly hurt the USA and world stability. I don’t trust Trump to not screw it up. American isolationism is real and did not start with Trump. Quite often isolationism perks when the USA experiences internal financial stress. IMHO that is happening now and both the GOP and DNC are playing politics with the issues. Canadians are far too disconnected about our American cousins. When financial pressure hits them it is often Canada that gets shafted. Both the GOP and the DNC sacrifice trade relations at these times. Of the two I worry about Trump more as he has no real affinity for Canada. Canada has off loaded our domestic security cost on the USA and it is resented. Those days are ending. Trump could throw Canada into years of recession. Canada will have very limited ability to combat this and government spending will decrease as a result. The default practice by Canadian politicians is to deficit spend to maintain the status quo. Easy out for them but again likely going to end. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
