What would be a reasonable retalitation for pulling out of a deal that cost tens of thousands of Canadians jobs, and negatively effected our economy.
Would pulling out of a defensive arrangement like NORAD be reasonable? Or pulling out of a trade deal?

The fact that you think Trudeau would ever retaliate for a move which fucked over Alberta and Saskatchewan is laughable. Doubly so when it's a move by Joe Biden ostensibly to combat climate change.

It fucked over Canada. When people fuck you over, you should retaliate in turn

oil sands are disastrous for the environment, US is doing us a favor

pulling out of norad sounds like a suggestion from a commie
suggesting pulling out of a trade deal after just claiming to care about the economy even more so...

gonna need to see proof of citizenship... csis has already been alerted...

"dude wtf they elected a democrat and he immediately set about destroying people's livelihoods?????"

Politicians don't care about you.

I don't think we would be losing much with Canada pulling out of NORAD

have you ever worked as a tradesman or talked to one?

these people literally work project to project, constantly moving between sites, usually paid by their union to stay at a hotel for the job's duration and then move on to the next.

most of these people are probably going to either just file for unemployment and wait about a week or two before they're assigned a new site to work at. the only 'livelihoods' this will fuck over are the CEOs who were dumb enough to go ahead with it when obama already denied it during his presidency and assumed republicans could keep someone in office after trump.

offer oil to china

Keystone pipeline 4000 jobs, 35 when completed. keystone pipeline's company that is creating it does not contest this

not worth trampling all the native american land you have no right to, and certainly not worth the environmental costs

Man what is it with you and your bizarre political takes? Like bruh did you really just say "Maybe the Canadians should pull out of NORAD"???? Like seriously dude, what the fuck?

they should retaliate by giving money to me specifically via my bitcoin wallet address which can be found at asdf09u120fijidjowoaifj12980fjidof

The aboriginal issue is a bit more complex than that.

A large contingent of aboriginal people (at least in Canada) support pipelines. There were a number of op-eds written last year by Wet’suwet’en chiefs complaining that the Coastal GasLink issue was being framed as “natives hate pipelines”, when in reality most aboriginal people don’t mind infrastructure development if it’s done responsibly.

TL;DR it’s more complicated than “natives vs. big oil”

Also, if Trump played hardball with Canada for the past 4 years while Trudeau sat on his thumb, I don’t think we’ll be seeing anything crazy or drastic like you’re suggesting, Helios.

Canada is still America’s hat.

Suggesting we do nothing to retaliate makes you sound like you're south of the border.
Reason I brought up NORAD is because since 1984, Canada has been disarmed from nuclear weapons. American military ships docked in vancouver and other ports have nuclear capabilities. The entire controversy started because of nuclear weapons used by the air force.

Withdrawing or changing the agreement so Americans can't use nukes on Canadian soil seems reasonable.
If you have a more reasonable retaliation, let me know. The entire point of this thread was asking suggestions

declare war and deploy chemical weapons

This is what atheists believe, guys join your local church

I'm not sure how to tell you this Helios, but you sesame seeds dont have Hammurabi in charge. Justin Trudeau isn't going to begin a long path of vengeance leading to the deaths of everyone on the continent - he's going to be a good little dog and do nothing at all. Maybe a couple Canadians will write it in their book of grudges to be snarky with at a later date but nothing is going to happen.

I agree, importing oil from countries with no meaningful environmental controls, no meaningful human rights policies, controlled by outright authoritarian governments, literally using slave labor, is always better.

The US would do that even with the pipeline

Timonk wrote:The US would do that even with the pipeline

Let's implode the entire economy of the protectorate to the north of us in order to get overpriced and unethical oil from horrifically authoritarian and murderous regimes halfway across the world.
What's that? Oil tankers burn heavy unrefined oil and more than offset the carbon savings from not buying it next door?

Nah, let's throw more homosexuals off rooftops. Gotta keep that oil under $3/gallon at all costs.

If your economy depends on building a huge nature destroying pipeline across half of north America then your economy is fucked either way

I too agree that the industrial revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race.

I asked how should Canada react, not how will Canada react.
2 different questions.

They should be happy that the US came to their senses
