Canada's done with the US

[LotusBud]

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney said that Canada's old relationship with the United States, "based on deepening integration of our economies and tight security and military cooperation, is over".

Speaking to reporters in Ottawa after a cabinet meeting, Carney said Canadians must "fundamentally reimagine our economy" in the face of US President Donald Trump's tariffs.

He said Canada would respond with retaliatory tariffs that will have "maximum impact" on the US.

MAGAts are too stupid to understand the ramifications of this.

Active loyalists do not merely support the president but publicly defend even his most controversial moves.

Passive loyalists retreat from public view when scandals erupt but still vote with the president.

Critical loyalists try, in a sense, to have it both ways. They may publicly distance themselves from the president's worst behavior, but they do not take any action (for example, voting in Congress) that will weaken, much less bring down, the president.

In the face of presidential abuse, any of these responses will enable authoritarianism…..

Just such a tragic end to the brief history of the USA.

Losing Canada as a trusted ally is silly.

We're not going to invade and take them over.

They're going to shift everything from US to EU and we're going to suck wind.

Looks like another initiative by our senile president has backfired


one he can’t walk back because Canada appears to be done with this fools antics and threats

 

[The Prowler]

We're not going to invade and take them over.

If Canada becomes a security threat, USA would be stupid to not consider it and be prepared to do it.

Now that Canada is susceptible to an invasion from Russia or China, it is more of a security threat. If USA pulls out of NATO, Canada is then for sure a security threat and it would be surprising if USA did not take it one way or the other.

Met a couple of French Canadian tourists at dinner tonight. The instant they heard us talking, they wanted to talk to us about Trump, and tell us how horrified all of Canada is by Trump.

Just sayin'.

BTW, they also said they had gone to the US two years ago, but will not go back as long as Trump is prez.

@Weeg, @Reggie_Essent, @The Question, and you other apologists, how do you think all this bullshit is going to affect the tourism industry in the US?

There is going to be a massive economic downturn, thanks to the fucking moron you defend.

It appears that way.

Pity for people with retirement plans who saved all these years only to see their value plummet by 40-50% @LotusBud

It takes a long time for them to recover if they ever do. 10 years+? Seems that's the way it was following the GFC.

I think American Investor Ray Dalio says, " If you go down 50% it takes 100% gain to bring it back & break even.

 

[Admin.]

I saw a Canadian journalist on some talk show a couple weeks back, he said IF somehow Trump succeeded in annexing Canada He said the bulk of Canadians would naturally gravitate to the Democratic Party, adding 50 democrats to congress, accomplishing the biggest political self pwn in history.

Do eet, President Trump if you want to kneecap your own party.

Now that's interesting, isn't it?

Another stupid Lotus thread. Does your Libman have to keep buying you pearl necklaces because you're always snapping the ones he bought you last time because you're always clutching them over the stupidest shit?

Why would I give the slightest fuck about the tourism industry or what some pansy Libtard Canadians told you in a Portugee bar?

Yes, there will be economic adjustments since our glorious Orange President will no longer allow our "friends and allies" to fuck us up the ass with no lube like they've been doing on trade (and defense) since before you or I were even born.

Once things settle down, I'm sure the foreign tourists and maybe even Rosie O'Donnell will be coming back to our exceptional and great nation.

You might not be welcome in Canada ever again @Reggie_Essent

And even if they allow you in the best they could do is shared accommodation with some 20 year olds at a DT hostel in Vancouver Reggie.

Trump pitting Americans against our friends and allies is crazy, Joe.

It makes no sense whatsoever.

Trump tanked the stock market on purpose @Lily

 

[realgrimm]

Patriotic Canadians don't feel this and appreciate our neighbour's this new installd PM isn't the voice of Canadians we are building number in the Conservative talking dates so it'll be impossible for the Liberals to steal and rig our election again.. April 28 cant come soon enough..

Makes no nevermind to me, Joe. Canada is America's hat, our largest national park, a southpark joke ... and nothing more.

Our "friends and allies," as I've pointed out, have been fucking us for decades, Lily. Take Canada for instance. We've been subsidizing Canada with "foreign aid" to the tune of $20 Billion a year for decades and decades.

Why the fuck are we giving Canada "foreign aid?"

I know dairy farmers in Wisconsin who can't sell their products into Canada because Canada slaps a 234% tariff on American dairy products and have for years and years.

Is that "fair trade" from a "friend and ally," Lily?

Do you realize that the US is on the decline? Isolating us from the rest of the world is only going to speed the decline.

Why do you hate America, Enragey?

You do realize that I've always been a paleo-conservative who has been opposed to American Hegemony for a long, long time, don't you?

I seem to recall you ranting against American Imperialism, the Military Industrial Complex, the old Bushie policy of "Nation Building" and all that. Now you're all for American Imperialist Hegemony?

What changed, dear?

Trump?

Soon America's only friends will be Russia, Greater Israel & the UAE @Reggie_Essent

Unfortunately there will be no more democracies for you to run to Reggie.

Seriously? Trump wants to take control of Greenland, the Panama canal, and even Canada. How is that not "nation building" pal? Since when do my objections to Trump's bullshit have the first thing to do with me being pro American imperialism?

Jesus, Enragey, you're an idjit.

Will blind ignorance or stupid second guessing?

that will only happen when Trump dies, is removed or hit by a truck and the government stops being an autocracy.

So a couple of gullible Canadians told a couple of gullible Portuguese about "all of Canada" and the gullible people all went on their oblivious separate ways.

Again, how do you people not already know these things?

You always need someone to tell you.

This was one thing I thought of immediately when the idea of annexation was brought up.

Honestly, you people are so far below me that you should just sit down, shut up, and listen.

Soon America's only friends will be Russia
