Oil companies say price rises resulting from the American war with Iran could force the government to protect supplies for hospitals and essential services
Cut off the oil supply. The US is a wasteful shithole that blows through 20 million barrels/day, but only produces 13. The majority of the rest comes from Canada.
Do you know what happens after that? Trump eases sanctions on Russian oil, exactly like he did last week to ease the oil crisis they’re having now. The difference is if Canada outright cuts the states off then Trump would be spouting his stupid 51st state bullshit again. So what’s the next move after oil?
They could stop being yet another oppressive western nation and discontinue bending over for Trump/the US. This isn’t new behavior, Canada’s a removed.
All you’re doing is getting mad at someone because their neighbour shit in your yard. I know my neighbour is nuts, I know people don’t like him, I don’t like him, but wtf you mad at me for? I can do as much as you can to stop him. I don’t appreciate the entire western hemisphere being blamed because of one country as if we were the ones spouting insanity and starting fights with the rest of the world.
Major modern colonizer countries are the United States, China, Russia, and France. Criteria for being considered a colonizer have to be a little bit more strict then “I have wasted toons of money trying to control a country between 1936 and 1941 for prestige”.
I have said “Major” meaning the form of colonialism that have the biggest economic impact. Belgium neocolonialism and Dutch neocolonialism are not nearly on the same scale as the others I have shared.
France colonialism is not fully backed by allies. Heck, Italy nearly went into a proxy war with France in Libya after they decided that Gaddafi was not good for “humanitarian reasons” and backed LNA against UN-supported GNA.
If those are allies supporting each other then I need to rethink the meaning of the world. See Meloni blasting France on national television: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=-NBf1C4YMNw

Congo, Angola, Mozambique aren’t past tense. Over half the EU built colonial systems and still benefit from their evolved forms.
Also France backed the LNA in Libya, undermined the UN-recognized GNA, and faced zero material consequences. Not an accident. Their allies sustain and support their colonialism and neocolonialism.
France remains a core member of NATO, EU, G7, UNSC. Also France maintains the CFA franc. Military bases across West and Central Africa. Corporate access secured through policy shaped in Brussels and Paris. Whether Meloni yells on TV, the structure which is supported through integration into the EU and NATO doesn’t change. No sanctions. No budget cuts. No accountability.
Words don’t dismantle systems. Material support sustains them. And that support never stops for the major powers. Lives on the periphery absorb the cost.
Yes, Canada is well known for colonizing other countries…Place your hatred where it’s deserved. You’re not doing anything to improve the world by hating countries that didn’t cause the problems.

The entire west is parasitic. Full of colonizing profiteers.

The Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Angola, Mozambique, Suriname etc. would probably disagree with you.
Not to mind the fact that much of the US and France colonialism and neocolonialism is fully backed by allies.

Canada is literally a settler colony that is still actively repressing indigenous populations?
