That said, back when Trump slapped Tarrifs on Aluminum I was all for finding a back bone. And even gave JT and Freeland some credit.
Funny, they found enough back bone then, but against China?
Bottom line. The world and in particular our allies and seeing things. And they think we are a joke at best..
I don't think we will need to rely on the Aussie's as allies and Canada is very much more respected than you think.

Lol, ok Terry you go with that.
I could link dozens, nay hundreds of op-eds from the around globe on different subjects. Just linked one from the WP yesterday...making fun of our failures
Like political corruption and SNC or WE.
Like the utter joke vaccines are....Read some foreign news for a change. Just grab some headlines regardless of media source ( so theres no bias on your part on the editorial bias). Some will have a L leaning bent and some R..
Like India and dancing around like a clown....
The BBC and UK for example,
That's not to say we "aren't respected" but man, you need to broaden your horizons

I think the BBC is pretty far left?
https://www.bbc.com/news/world-us-canada-56035306
Also need to consider.
We are a back water country on the world stage. A wee country that no-one really cares about or pays much attention to. Yet, there are more and more headlines, very few flattering ( China, and G5 and more). That should tell you something. We are making headlines for the wrong reasons

Considering you guy's are one here fighting like cats and dogs over the efficacy of one vaccine over another it might just work out very well that we a a little behind and get the one by process of elimination and watching others and their reactions.

How very true Jben we are making headlines for the wrong reasons as as long as we have the current baboon at the helm we will continue off course with no horizon in sight.

Maybe. And that is the silver lining Terry. But that's a maybe. That even if it does end up working out in our favor, it just dumb blind luck that it does so. And the stakes are bloody high.
I think that argument is called a red herring.
That also has little to do, with another small backwater country few normally pay attention to, finding the stones to do the right thing with respect to China. As well as more than once, printing headlines about another wee country ( us). I mean really Terry, how often do you see the Sun or Star ridiculing Australia..................................And it's not just wee little ole Australia that's seeing through the veneer of competance. On vaccines, on the 5 eyes, and more.

Australia is a rather large and dynamic country that exports almost everything it can to China, massive amounts of coal, propane, natural gas,
so they would be one of the allies needed to take China to task, its not going to happen as they are to big a part of their economy. Its not going to happen with Canada or the USA same story.

Maybe should say the prince of Toke since he legalized pot.... he has said so much like the Reset and admiration for tyrants and dictatorships. He has also lied about budgets, ethics, SNC, Jody W.R., and a long list. The treatment of women and vets is of note ... Celina Ceasar-Chavannes for example and the pay outs to terrorists...
* and here is Celina, even with the CBC's adversarial attack and support for the useless PM still a good interview.
“A people that elect corrupt politicians, imposters, thieves and traitors are not victims... but accomplices” - George Orwell
Internationally we know what Fox News and the Australian Press have called Canada's "leadership" and before it was brought up India calls Canada a home for Terrorists and a Fraud

oh and of course the Chinese artists would get this attention without approval....
https://tnc.news/2021/02/08/chinese-...-harley-quinn/
Yet we see people who go out of their way to avoid morals, thoughts and ethics in their support even with the lies on openness and accountability dead even before the first win.... there were those that were the "Normal Men" of Brownings books and that were part of the cultural revolution under Mao that resulted in over 50,000,000 dead too ...and those that drove the tanks over students in Tianamin Square too, so I guess the supporters of Justlied Trudeau are following in a time honoured dead end.
50,000,000 .... that is every person in Canada and a couple US states thrown in to reach that number... and he admires their dictatorship.... ************censored**************

Evasion.
When was the last time you saw the Star or Sun ridiculing Australia.....
You only have to spend 5 minutes to find other headline rediculing “us” From more important allies like India, the US and UK.... and in more than just this topic.
The worlds a big place Terry. We often forget just how insignificant we are. We have big egos for such a non factor. When we start getting headlines for the wrong reasons.......
But it relates to our own sovereignty. Your chosen leader is a clown and failure.
And the proof is in the pudding. Not what we think per se. what others are saying, we are no bodies Terry. We should only rarely be getting so many headlines. Most importantly from our allies.
what you do with that. Well that’s up to you.
