Trump warned he will impose additional tariffs on the European Union and Canada if they band together to “do economic harm” against the United States.
Get @#$%ed, Trump. Good read. Short but detailed about how partnered we are already and what our next priorities should be
And yet, we’re way more immigrant-friendly and tolerant than literally anywhere in Europe.
I have no idea what your criteria is here. I’m pretty sure Carney would be mainstream in Germany as well.
Pretty sure you’re wrong, even compared to those awful germs
I don’t get it.
Not surprised reading the comments on here
Germs?

Most of the Liberals’ positions is to use the markets to solve social issues. That is completely a right-wing ideology, and the name for it is Liberalism, literally what the party is called. Liberalism is by definition prioritizing the individual actions and limiting government intervention.
While the Liberals do not advocate for small government, they do advocate for minimizing direct government intervention, relying on corporations to do the government’s job. They just are willing to push for social spending to make the markets fix their problems. The problems that have created by the markets because market forces do not have a line in their accounts for morality or public good.
The Liberals do quite a lot of good for the country, since they don’t try to run it like a third world purely resource based nation, but that’s because they’re pretty progressive and understand that resource-based economies don’t last and are fragile. But they are still economy first, people second as a party, a party that prioritizes the capitalist system with only a few concessions for social programs.
Boy do I have news about the founding values of the European Union.
I mean, it did start out during the Cold War. The other values are given more emphasis but that’s still there.
Yea, but this was back in the times when the left was considered anti-west. Left nowadays just means socialistic policies and is where most of the EU stands. Though far-left is still pretty taboo since it’s equating to communism, far right is lately considered more neo-Nazism rather than unregulated capitalism (though to be fair both are still considered far-right depending on who you ask).
Founding ideals get pretty obsolete and often don’t reflect reality after a few generations. Just look at how much the US talks about their founding ideals and how the country looks nothing like it despite talking about their supposed ideals constantly (like how one of the original ideals was that only rich land owners should be allowed to vote).
You haven’t got a clue about what policies or our very diverse governments of Europe represent, not even about simple basic political terminology of what political views stand for.
" both are still considered far-right depending on who you ask"
Second time I hear someone come up with the embarassing and laughable horseshoe theory.
I couldn’t imagine more than a few weirdos falling for it, it’s on the level of flat earthers. I guess education is as bad as in the US.
Or they get their ‘knowledge’ from Facebook ,YT or whatever online moron channel.
It’s true, but I’d say it hasn’t changed nearly as much as the US has, and would point out how market oriented every country within still is.
I should also mention liberalism was the original left wing movement, versus the monarchs that sat on the literal right in France. Words mean what we want them to, but it’s non-standard to say it’s always been right wing, and not universal to say it is now.
