Why do Canadians think Canada is a viable country? Countries to be considered countries need to be mostly self-reliant, not dependent on another for survival. If we banned trade, Canada would go bankrupt bc you wouldn't get to offset your losses.

I think you fail to grasp two things here:

Canada is currently over reliant on one major trading partner, which until recently was fine as we had a trade agreement which worked for everyone. However recent events have made Canada reevaluate its position and dependence on the US and the result will be detrimental to all concerned. Canada will realign with more reliable trading partners and wean itself off the US dollar.

Smuggling would become big business as Americans suddenly crave the essentials and luxuries on which the country depends. Very DPRK (you may need to google that).

Hello, I have a question about astral projection. I started to get interested in this a little while after my mum passed in april. I thought I may be able to see her and speak with her if I managed to achieve astral projection. Since this interest, every time i sleep on my back I go into sleep paralysis. However, I cant progress into astral projection because it is very scary for me as I feel like I'm suffocating when this happens. I panic and force myself to wake up. This only ever happened about once a year before this. It sometimes lasts a long time. This has happened about 3 times per week since my mum died, as mentioned on a previous post. I no longer try to go into it anymore(due to the suffocating feeling), but it still happens. I read that sleep paralysis is the pathway to astral projection. Why has this started to happen so frequently since simply taking an interest in it? Is this connected to the afterlife? I am concerned about it as I now cannot seem to stop this happening. Could it be my mum trying to communicate? Im asking due to more knowledge around this in this group.

the global economy is truly global. The only country that tries be entirely self reliant is North Korea, and that’s not working out so well.

Within this global economy the US consumes so much stuff it needs these foreign countries to keep selling to Americans. Trumps tariffs are a tax on Americans for wanting stuff from other countries.

In just one month, the US has gone from world leader to wannabe dictatorship. I sincerely hope you find the economic isolation you appear to crave.

In the TV show Supernatural, why is God portrayed as cruel?

If the borders were suddenly sealed like North Korea, the US would very quickly realise that it cannot be self reliant, at least while maintaining the American lifestyle.
