yeah because God put him in charge as King of the World to save Christianity. He's just bowing to the cryptochristofascist oligarchy that now controls the government. Don't think they won't come for you, too.

I guess it helps that Nigeria (like Venezuela) is sitting on a sea of oil.

{quote} Canada has one of the weaker G7 economies. The economy has several weak points. First, a lot of it is based on sending raw materials to the US instead of using them in production here. Secondly, capital investing isn't encouraged which is resulting in lagging worker productivity (Canadian firms don't reinvest in the equipment to maximize production). Third, the Canadian state effectively encourages monopolization of a handful of consumer sectors that then achieve economic growth on paper by maximizing profit thru anti competitive practices...
Thanks Anon Coward !! or should I say P.A.B. Are all the Snowflakes and Karens Anon ?

US managed to successfully kill Canada's industrial capacity with NAFTA and has been at it to further do so. The sooner Canada gets rid of it's US dependence the better.

We sell more oil to the US than the Saudis do. Resources aren't nothing, they're everything. It's population that we don't have, but as automation and AI undermine the labor economy, that's going to become a huge advantage, not a limitation. Good riddance to producers leaving here, they aren't needed. Ditto investors. Slower growth rates are bad for the rich, but great for social and economic stability. We have everything we need if we divorced from the US completely, including great relations with the rest of the world.

Our leadership at the provincial levels is generally terrible, that's true. Certainly no worse than the average Republican governor, though. And at the federal level, meh, getting the job done, more or less. At least it's not a circus clown show.

Bring it on. The more tariffs the US slaps on Canada, the more independent we become. The cost of that is worth it in the long run. The more decoupled we are from the US, the easier it gets to direct our oil, water, and timber to other markets.
I'd like to say things could be repaired once Trump is gone. But idk, some things are hard to put back together, once broken.

The following is meant for the aluminium hat wearing stupid MAGA crowd:

AI Overview
Canada holds strong positions in the G7, particularly in financial stability (ranked #1 for banking stability), population growth (fastest-growing G7 nation), and debt management (lowest net debt to GDP). The country is also a key player in energy and resources, ranking as the top preferred oil supplier among G7 nations, and is a powerhouse for critical minerals needed in technology. However, some reports suggest Canada's government finances have deteriorated faster than other G7 countries, and a lower risk tolerance may impact entrepreneurial innovation compared to some peers.
Areas of strength

Financial stability: Canada has the most stable financial sector in the G7, with some of the safest banks in the world.
Debt-to-GDP: Canada has consistently maintained the lowest net debt-to-GDP ratio in the G7.

Population growth: Canada has been the fastest-growing G7 country in recent years, largely due to immigration.
Natural resources: Canada is a top-preferred oil supplier among G7 countries and a global powerhouse for critical minerals essential for technology and energy transitions.

Employment: Canada had the highest employment growth in the G7 in 2024.

Areas for consideration
Government finances: One study indicates Canada's government finances have deteriorated faster than any other G7 country's, with the largest increase in government spending as a share of GDP over a decade.
Entrepreneurship: Some analyses suggest that a cultural aversion to risk in Canada, compared to the U.S. and other G7 nations, can stifle entrepreneurial efforts and disruptive innovation.
Youth unemployment: While Canada's overall employment growth is strong, the unemployment rate for youth (ages 15-24) in 2024 was significantly higher than that of older age groups.
Canada's role in the G7
Leadership: As a member of the G7, Canada plays a leading role in addressing global issues, and it held the G7 Presidency in 2025.
Key priorities: During its 2025 presidency, Canada focused on key priorities including protecting communities and the world, building energy security, accelerating the digital transition, and securing partnerships for the future.

Exactly! It doesn't make any sense. I don't understand what their trying to gain from it. It's freaking annoying. At least they gave us the option to ignore all of them at once with one click.

Actually, China is in general very reliable, until it is scratched. So reliable that when it isn't the USA notices and goes into damage control.

The USA scratched with big sharp claws. Children shouldn't poke alligators in the eyes.

You may want to look at data and see where Canada is. Canada federal leadership is terrible, has been for the past 10 years and still is. Liberals have proven to be bad for Canada. Yet Canadians have not learned their lesson, they are about to for the next four years.

{quote} Love the ignorant anon posters lol...show your username coward.
Canada has one of the weaker G7 economies. The economy has several weak points. First, a lot of it is based on sending raw materials to the US instead of using them in production here. Secondly, capital investing isn't encouraged which is resulting in lagging worker productivity (Canadian firms don't reinvest in the equipment to maximize production). Third, the Canadian state effectively encourages monopolization of a handful of consumer sectors that then achieve economic growth on paper by maximizing profit thru anti competitive practices and price gouging. It has also encouraged growth-on-paper through a real estate market that is harming average people and not really producing anything of value. This monopolized real estate and consumer services based economy creates a living environment that is rough for the average person and makes Canada less and less competive in the world economy over time. Most of our immigrants are coming from north India which has been ravaged by drought, heat waves and farmer suicide. So comparatively, paying too much for food, rent and your phone might seem tolerable.
Canada is a G7 because Gerald Ford pushed for it in the 1970s. Not really a G7.
Realistically Canada is the US b*itch 99% of the time so it makes sense the US would want Canada to have voting power in various international forums.

There you go, you little liberal weasel.
