No such thing as a quick fix.

Anyone who knows how corporations work know that two weak companies joining together equal one sinking ship.

EU has been doing a fairly good job hiding the fact that it’s near broke. Africa kicked France to the curb, and now where will the EU get the resources to maintain their lifestyle and their dysfunctional policies on someone else’s dime?

We can see the troubles in Poland coming right out of the blue. Poland has a lot of gold that Germany can take for itself. Canada has a lot of natural resources it can exploit.

And then there is Russia, who has never done itself any favors, but the EU want a war with them to do, (A) create chaos and have a face-saving way to explain the empty coffers when it cannot be hidden before, and (B) hope to grab those natural resources for itself.

Canada didn’t get itself in a bind overnight. It took decades of lethargy and otiosity to get there. There are no quick fixes, either.

Canada acted like the spouse who was betrayed by the one it was married to for decades, and now has to show the US they are desirable, and then ran to the first grifter who showed an interest without asking why. The hard questions were never asked. Daddy Government will take care of it: a government voted in with a minority, and then bribed rival MPs to cross the floor.

This shallow alliance won’t end well for either the scheming EU or a desperate Canada.

There were ways to strike back at Trump without the melodrama. I find it interesting none of those superior strategies ever came into play.

But when you’re desperate, you always pick the worst solutions to show up someone who doesn’t care.
