As a Canadian I think we shouldn't even be entertaining the thought of trade with the regime (yes I know how difficult that would be and realistically it's not immediately possible. That doesn't mean we shouldn't be working toward it) Unfortunately we have a conservative banker in liberal colors as PM and that's never going to happen.
Edit: and the same type of brain rot citizenry raised on American exceptionalism who will argue that our PM has our best interests in mind. That they believe he's smarter than the average bear and we couldn't ever comprehend his tactics because we are just dumb pleebs.

I've been upping the listenership for kneecap and Bob vylan for about a month now. Saving for hard copies to help support. This all reminds me of the satanic panic that was so common when I was a kid. Such fuckery to suppress an idea.

Next is Canada and Greenland, then on to Europe where I will meet big daddy Putin in the middle.

Creating "terrorists" a couple of planeloads of bombs at a time. This is not geopolitics. It's war. Only the western world could be so crass. It's only a couple of bombs on sovereign soil....meh. I say this as a Canadian. If the US lobbed bombs at us today I'd be on the warpath. I imagine there are some Iranians with those thoughts as well. It won't be a one and done even if it's not all out traditional war.

Then they are ruled by a dictator. Congress doesn't have a say. Courts and judges don't have a say. That's dictatorship.

I agree and yet it is more than what my country is doing unfortunately. We have a rapist felon in Drumphkins, a proven government backer of murderers on Canadian soil in Modi, Meloni and her ultra fascism amongst others here for a visit. Our government and private institutions also support the genocide happening to the Palestinians. Numerous journalists and professors have been fired for what they've said or written. Regular citizens as well. A highschool graduate valedictorian in Ottawa was just told by her highschool not to come back to school for the rest of the year for simply recognising the genocide in Palestine at the end of her graduation speech this past weekend. It wasn't even the main topic of her speech but a byline at the end.
We also have a PM that wants to pass laws that put us further into the class war and war on immigrants and minorities that we currently wage even though we thought a few short months ago we were voting against such action. They're all invited and gathered together surrounded by the highest security in the world to discuss all our futures at the G7. They are in a place where they can easily avoid protests or even seeing them and there is no interaction with any of the people they actually represent because they seem terrified someone will hurt or kill them. I wonder why...
Every little bit of resistance, anywhere, is good and should be praised.

It's gambling for the people who want to be rich. It's a bank and tax haven for those who are already rich.

Same with the Canadian Liberals. A New bill was just put forward to introduce sweeping legislation that allows law enforcement extended abilities including opening people's mail without a warrant, an obvious erosion of personal freedom. Along with adding more police and border security that isn't needed. Enforcing questionable immigration laws and more. This is what we thought we were voting against just a short time ago.
It's a world wide fascist takeover lead by the class war and we all have to somehow change our political parties and government systems completely at the same time. The people must rise up. Become engaged. Fight for ourselves and not be swayed by money or status.

One of those that commits the most war crimes is the US. They can't be supporting a war crimes court.
