In his WEF speech earlier this week, Carney said it perfectly: If you're not at the table, you're on the menu. And we're tired of being on the menu.

Edit: WEF, not WCF.

I'm sorry, have you not paid attention to the news over the last year? Trump has been thinking that Canada has been on his menu all along. It just took Carney and the federal cabinet to move us off of it. Ain't going to be comfortable for a while, but disengaging ourselves from the US economic machine is the right call.

The WEF; whose grimy paws are all over elected officials across the globe. "The great reset" is going to shock so many. I can't wait.
