Howard Lutnick’s comment really does illustrate America’s ignorance, of just about everything they know, which is very little, about Canada.
I would put money on Lutnick not being able to explain what socialism, versus social democracy vs communism even are. I can only imagine his irrational, illogical, rambling rhetorical musings about Canada’s socialist regime.
Just for Mr. Lutnick’s edification:
Sound like Canada?
Not on your life.
Am I surpised? Not in the least.
But why do Canadians expect anything else from America?
Let’s face it…
America doesn’t even know what democracy is anymore.
Anyone with a working cerebellum can see America’s internal conflict, disintegration, and concerted effort by the current administration to destroy democracy in the United States and replace it with a kleptocracy, run by the one percent and it’s oligarchs.
Americans are subject to a sociopath and his minions, who deliberately and with malice are dismantling democratic institutions, — and Lutnick is a good example of exactly of who, and what is wrong with America.
Ignorance, arrogance, and stupidity seem to be the best description of America and its actions these days.
The law means nothing.
Sovereignty of other nations means nothing.
Trade agreements mean nothing.
Being allies, means nothing.
Truth, honesty and trust, to America, and at least 40 percent of Americans, means nothing.
As Prime Minister Carney stated clearly again this week, Canada’s relationship with the U.S., 80 years in the making, as partner, ally, trade partner, now means nothing, absolutely nothing.
The vast majority of Canadians are united and are totally committed to leaving America’s sphere of influence, — and that includes in relation to trade and military alliance.
Canada, can’t trust America, nor should it.
There are 7.7 billion other people on earth to trade with, including China and India, and that is exactly what Canada will do.
Yes, there will be pain, thanks to Trump and America, but once this major transition is made, America will simply be a geographical neighbor, No different than Russia to the North, and equally as trustworthy.
Canada’s relationship with the E.U., Japan, and Korea will be quite close, especially if Canada’s military procurement focuses on Korean submarines, tanks, self-propelled howitzers, and the Global Air Combat Program’s Sixth Generation fighters.
My personal hope is that Canada completely disentangles itself from America and its interests, and joins the E.U. as a non-voting member, similar to Norway.
Canada deserves better than America.
