Canada

“Ontario and Canada have critical minerals in abundance and America needs them. At a time when China is winning the race to dominate these resources while also restricting the sale and shipment of critical minerals to the U.S., Canada and Ontario need to urgently get our critical minerals out of the ground, processed and shipped to the factory floors that are building for the future.”

US, afaik, has tariffs on Canadian critical materials, while it makes deals with China to ensure the access it needs, and while it destroys commercial supply of new energy within US, to make sure it needs as little as possible. Banning "CCP" energy is a basis for lies for banning Chinese solar that don't have CCP ties, and even if they did, it's a fucking solar panel.

If bill C5 was used as a carrot to come into effect after the US makes an acceptable trade deal, which means elimination of all tariffs imposed this year, then this would be a somewhat acceptable act of sycophancy. Without "normalized US trade relations", it is extreme oppressive enslavement of Ontarians/Canadians.

An economic future for any nation with critical minerals is to develop them. Forcing colonial slavery of a single buyer who is currently committed against the future, while excluding buyers driving the future, is pure treason, and economic/social/climate terrorism on its own people/businesses.

Canada needs to cut all military ties with US. Stop seeking alliances where political capital is all in on war on Russia and China and Iran. US empire is collapsing, but it can buy a few years by exploiting its colonies harder. It is categorically unacceptable for our rulers to assist US destruction of our colony.

What happened to Ontario saving its auto sector? Japan/SK/US companies that cut investments/factories should have their phone/electronics brands tariffed. Huawei 5g, and datacenters/AI should be welcome. DST definitely threatened to be reimposed. High fees for access to NORAD. If Ford, is happy to destroy Auto manufacturing, then Australian prosperity has done well with better value cars and Chinese trade as a better economic model.

Fortress Can-Am has a pathethic political appeal, ONLY IF, there exists someone from the Am side that is enthusiastic about it.
