      From the article:

      Former prime ministers Stephen Harper and Jean Chrétien called on Canadians to stand united and help the country become less dependent on the United States to counter economic and sovereignty threats from president Donald Trump.

      Their wide-ranging conversation addressed Trump’s America First agenda, which has included his trade war, disparagement of allies such as Canada and interest in controlling the High Arctic militarily and economically.

      Mr. Chrétien and Mr. Harper acknowledged Mr. Trump’s policies are a danger to Canada but they said the country can survive by sticking together, remaining united and making policy decisions that diversify trade away from the United States.

      Both leaders noted Canada has survived U.S. threats in the past, including the War of 1812, which the U.S. lost.

      Confronting him is not the way to go. He is a front running bully.

      Just ignore him as best as possible. Make deals with other countries as you deem necessary. Don’t cave to his threats.

      They need to have a serious conversation with the traitorous Smith as well.

      Good. We should unite against American-style politics. I strongly feel that, regardless of our differences, the majority of Conservatives and Liberals (and NDP) do not want to be American.

      This should be a point of unity across political parties.

      I was in the Army Reserves back when PM Harper all made us wear those dumb War of 1812 pins on our uniform for like, about a year.

      Man, I kinda wish I kept it now.

      Call out the division at its source: the Alberta UCP and Danielle Smith.

      It’s exactly what we need right now. Alberta is like the kid who’s favourite flavour is red. American can easily meddle with them and tear us apart. We need to understand that’s the plan and the most possible for America to pull off. We need the teachers to step in and tell the kid to stop eating crayons.

      Harper has been on Ben Shapiro’s show, appeared multiple times on PragerU, was chairman of the global right wing organization the International Democracy Union, and pushed Poilievre for prime minister in the 2025 election.

      Harper *is part of the problem* and needs to shut up and go away forever

      It’s amazing that for no reason whatsoever that the relationship between Canada and the US has become so toxic. This is all so completely unnecessary and there is literally no benefit to continuing down this path of animosity started by Trump. So bizarre.

      I don’t give one single fuck about Trump or the States. Just get my goddamn cost of living back to something fair and reasonable.

      This really shows how unusual the situation is when leaders from opposite political backgrounds are willing to publicly set differences aside whether people agree with Trump or not moments like this highlight how fragile international trust actually is and how quickly rhetoric can turn into real diplomatic consequences

      I do not need Steven Harper telling me to do anything. I had a gut full of that ass hat when he was my Prime Minister under the Harper government. Everything was the Harper government. Piss off Harper. Fade away into oblivion for all I care. You are now redundant.
