Did you know Mark Carney was awarded the 'Order of Canada' in 2014 (under PM Harper’s recommendation) for his leadership in the development of financial policy in #Canada and around the world.

"As governor of the Bank of Canada he was one of the key players in steering the Canadian economy through the 2008 global economic crisis, championing clear communication and predictability."

Twenty Lessons on Fighting Tyranny from the Twentieth Century
Timothy Snyder

1. Do not obey in advance. Most of the power of authoritarianism is freely given. In times like these, individuals think ahead about what a more repressive government will want, and then offer themselves without being asked. A citizen who adapts in this way is teaching power what it can do.

2. Defend institutions. It is institutions that help us to preserve decency. They need our help as well. Do not speak of “our institutions” unless you make them yours by acting on their behalf. Institutions do not protect themselves. So choose an institution you care about and take its side.

3. Beware the one-party state. The parties that remade states and suppressed rivals were not omnipotent from the start. They exploited a historic moment to make political life impossible for their opponents. So support the multi-party system and defend the rules of democratic elections.

4. Take responsibility for the face of the world. The symbols of today enable the reality of tomorrow. Notice the swastikas and other signs of hate. Do not look away, and do not get used to them. Remove them yourself and set an example for others to do so.

5. Remember professional ethics. When political leaders set a negative example, professional commitments to just practice become important. It is hard to subvert a rule-of-law state without lawyers, or to hold show trials without judges. Authoritarians need obedient civil servants, and concentration camp directors seek businessmen interested in cheap labor.

6. Be wary of paramilitaries. When the men with guns who have always claimed to be against the system start wearing uniforms and marching around with torches and pictures of a Leader, the end is nigh. When the pro-leader paramilitary and the official police and military intermingle, the end has come.

7. Be reflective if you must be armed. If you carry a weapon in public service, God bless you and keep you. But know that evils of the past involved policemen and soldiers finding themselves, one day, doing irregular things. Be ready to say no.

8. Stand out. Someone has to. It is easy to follow along. It can feel strange to do or say something different. But without that unease, there is no freedom. Remember Rosa Parks. The moment you set an example, the spell of the status quo is broken, and others will follow.

9. Be kind to our language. Avoid pronouncing the phrases everyone else does. Think up your own way of speaking, even if only to convey that thing you think everyone is saying. Make an effort to separate yourself from the internet. Read books.

10. Believe in truth. To abandon facts is to abandon freedom. If nothing is true, then no one can criticize power because there is no basis upon which to do so. If nothing is true, then all is spectacle. The biggest wallet pays for the most blinding lights.

11. Investigate. Figure things out for yourself. Spend more time with long articles. Subsidize investigative journalism by subscribing to print media. Realize that some of what is on the internet is there to harm you. Learn about sites that investigate propaganda campaigns (some of which come from abroad). Take responsibility for what you communicate to others.

12. Make eye contact and small talk. This is not just polite. It is part of being a citizen and a responsible member of society. It is also a way to stay in touch with your surroundings, break down social barriers, and understand whom you should and should not trust. If we enter a culture of denunciation, you will want to know the psychological landscape of your daily life.

13. Practice corporeal politics. Power wants your body softening in your chair and your emotions dissipating on the screen. Get outside. Put your body in unfamiliar places with unfamiliar people. Make new friends and march with them.

14. Establish a private life. Nastier rulers will use what they know about you to push you around. Scrub your computer of malware. Remember that email is skywriting. Consider using alternative forms of the Internet, or simply using it less. Have personal exchanges in person. For the same reason, resolve any legal trouble.

15. Contribute to good causes. Be active in organizations, political or not, that express your own view of life. Pick a charity or two and set up autopay.

16. Learn from peers in other countries. Keep up your friendships abroad, or make new friends abroad. The present difficulties in the United States are an element of a larger trend. And no country is going to find a solution by itself. Make sure you and your family have passports.

17. Listen for dangerous words. Be alert to the use of the words extremism and terrorism. Be alive to the fatal notions of emergency and exception. Be angry about the treacherous use of patriotic vocabulary.

18. Be calm when the unthinkable arrives. Modern tyranny is terror management. When the terrorist attack comes, remember that authoritarians exploit such events in order to consolidate power. Do not fall for it.

19. Be a patriot. Set a good example of what America means for the generations to come.

20. Be as courageous as you can. If none of us is prepared to die for freedom, then all of us will die under tyranny.

"But Trump’s claim Canada can’t survive without the U.S. is utterly false. We’re the tenth largest economy in the world. (Ed. larger than Russian economy) We have 40 million people: workers, consumers, citizens."

"Indeed, in important ways, we are actually less reliant on foreign trade than commonly assumed."

"Almost 80 per cent of what we produce never crosses a border. Its produced in Canada, by Canadians, for Canadians.'"

Vance did not visit Greenland.

Because unwelcome.

Vance touched down at a US controlled military base. In the far frozen north, away from towns, not connected by roads.

The base was donated because of friendship, alliance, treaty and NATO, for mutual defence.

Thugs used the honoured friendship base to threaten Greenland.

Thugs.

"A Yale professor who studies fascism is leaving the US to work at a Canadian university because of the current US political climate, which he worries is putting the US at risk of becoming a “fascist dictatorship”.

Jason Stanley, who wrote the 2018 book How Fascism Works: The Politics of Us and Them, has accepted a position at the University of Toronto’s Munk School of Global Affairs and Public Policy.

Stanley told the Daily Nous, a philosophy profession website, that he made the decision “to raise my kids in a country that is not tilting towards a fascist dictatorship”.

He said in an interview that Columbia University’s recent actions moved him to accept the offer. Last Friday, Columbia gave in to the Trump administration by agreeing to a series of demands in order to restore $400m in federal funding. These changes include crackdowns on protests, increased security power and “internal reviews” of some academic programs, like the Middle Eastern studies department."

I read someone else's post on Mastodon, where they said we should call it for what it is really going to be: an invasion. Annexation implies a legal merging of territory. Is that Trump's plan and are Canadians going to legally concede? Or does he intend to take Canada against our will either by conquering territory or altering our established government? We should be figuring this out asal, and then use the appropriate terminology. #CanadaStrong #Canada

🇨🇦 NEW: PM Carney's bombshell presser today:

He intends to totally reconfigure Canada's supply chains across business sectors.
He sent a direct message to US administration that Canada has already made our plans & we WILL move on without the US.
“He will be tough for the Americans to deal with”
“He’ll make mincemeat of the second-raters in the Trump team”
“He’s made it quite clear that #Canada is not going to put up with this BS.”

Canada Announces Bombshell Break With U.S. Over Trump

The new Canadian prime minister announced the two countries’ relationship is “over.”

“The old relationship we had with the United States based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation is over,” Carney said during a press conference, following a meeting in Ottawa with his ministers.

Stateside, the Big Three automakers took an immediate hit...

#Canada #Trump #USA #PRESS

Via CBC News:

Prime Minister #MarkCarney, speaking in Ottawa, says that #Canada will respond to the U.S. auto tariffs with retaliatory trade actions.

The response will “have maximum impacts in the U.S.” and minimum impacts in Canada.

He adds that the government will protect workers and build a new Canadian economy.

“I reject any attempts to weaken Canada,” Carney said.

He says he'll be speaking to Trump in a day or 2.

I'm confused about the rejection of a certain party leader towards getting their security clearance.

As a person who managed cabinet documents for the Associate Minister of National Defence for a few years, it shows to me that (1) we will be less safe day 1 in a Pollievre mandate, (2) it's showing his priority is his politics over our safety, and (3) he will be months behind on being brought up to speed on serious threats to Canada.
