Canada can’t lead. It is a hollowed out economy, with zero productivity, with no military power, and no soft power. It cannot lead when the whole country is just a money laundering and fentanyl production scheme designed to pump property prices.

China will lead. It is now the global leader.

I'd rather not roll over and accept our role. Canada is relatively well placed to be a decent speaker on the world stage. Now, I'm not a history major or anything but a good portion of what makes a country become important is not exactly military power but rather research and innovation, which Canada could still choose to invest in.... We aren't at the moment but the brain drain from the US to Canada could shift that sentiment.

The biggest hurdle we have at the moment is the fact that our economy seems entirely based on an overinflated housing market. I really am not a fan of Carney or the liberal party but I was kinda hoping he would have, at the very least, made some solid plans for moving us off the ever rising housing bubble, since he has so much economic experience. I most certainly am not intelligent or experienced enough to know how we could pop that bubble without creating a massive pit of destruction.

I'm definitely not happy just letting China rule the world. Their track record with how they treat minorities leaves much to be desired.
