Description: As U.S. President Donald Trump continues to propose absorbing Canada, Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe disregards the threat — but says Canada needs to prioritize energy and food security to avoid putting itself in a ‘vulnerable position,’ and criticizes a ‘lack of leadership’ from the federal Liberal government.

    Scott Moe is a hate-driven, Trump-loving knee-jerk fascist. His entire leadershipnhas beem defined by sucking up to Kenney, Smith, and Poilievre, trying to prove that he can play in the deep end of the fascist wading pool.

    He can shut the fuck up.

    “only threat” is “ourself”.

    Checks Mr. Moe’s political affiliation: Conservative.

    Ah, so projection? Again?

        It’s not divisive to call assholes out when they have a long history of proving they’re assholes. It’s divisive for them to continue being assholes.

    Do you think Donald Trump is a threat to Canadian sovereignty right now, premier?

    No, there’s… the only threat that could ever be to Canadian sovereignty is ourselves.

    Sure buddy, sure. I feel all better now.

      I mean, I agree with him. Trump isn’t a threat to us, the bootlikers and american lovers trying to appease him is our largest threat.

    Even the dumbest drunk driving murderer in the province is right once in a while…

    Pinning it solely on the Liberals is pretty typical Scooter Moe bullshit, but he’s right in that we should have been divesting our trade from the U.S a long time ago.

    How about we bring back the wheat board? Dairy and Poultry products are the most secure industries because they are supply managed.

    How about we nationalize the energy sector? Norway has a very secure energy industry because its profits go right to helping people rather than in the pockets of corporations.

      Nah, I bet we’ll get rid of the rest of supply management instead to appease the unappealable. Under PP, I’m fairly certain this will happen. Under Carney, not so certain but I think it might still be on the cards.

    I’m sorry, but Canada is one of the most food and energy secure countries in the world. We’re a net exporter of both, and by massive margins. We basically export so much energy, that that one ticket is enough to make our massive trade deficit into a massive trade surplus, the very thing Trump complains about. It’s like a third of our entire export by value to the US.

    And we single-handedly fed the Soviets during the cold war as well, being the only country with enough surplus in food to feed them during their massive self-inflicted famines, and preventing them from going to war out of sheer desperation.

    It’s people like this that is destroying Canadian sovereignty, not trying to secure it. We need to be united more than ever as we shift gears, diversity our trade, and improve relations with other countries for the sake of our sovereignty, not attack each other in petty attempts at power grabs.
