“I love the Canadian people, but the leaders have taken advantage of our stupid leadership for many, many years. They felt emboldened. … They act like they’re totally innocent. They’re not. They were very bad. But now they’re being taught a little lesson.”

That’s rich coming from a frequent visitor of Epstein Island (though I suppose no lessons have been learned in his case).

“Canada has taken advantage of us for so many years. The worst of any country,” Trump said.

Someone should tell this moron that repeating something excessively does not make it true.

Oh, you mean the Peter Navarro who invented a trade expert named Ron Vara in his books to add credibility to his own views on China?

“In six of his books about China, Navarro quotes a purported trade expert named “Ron Vara”, whom he describes as a China hawk and former Harvard PhD doctoral student in economics. Vara makes Sinophobic remarks about China and the Chinese, such as “you’ve got to be nuts to eat Chinese food” and “only the Chinese can turn a leather sofa into an acid bath, a baby crib into a lethal weapon, and a cellphone battery into heart-piercing shrapnel”.[227] However, a 2019 investigation by the Chronicle of Higher Education found that no such person existed, and that “Ron Vara” (an anagram of Navarro) appeared to represent views that Navarro himself held.[227][228] When he was asked about Vara by The Chronicle, Navarro admitted to making up the character, an author surrogate, and quoting him in his books.[228]” Source

Hopefully they aren’t given 10 years to pay it off like the recent $18B fine for harming children.

He’s desperate to have some wins to sell to the populace so he’s massively overselling everything. Based on his social media post, the US now basically owns Greenland (which really doesn’t seem to be the case).

Yeah but if you have a world renowned deal maker at the table… 😂

“Even if Lithuania opened its port of Klaipeda ⁠to Belarusian potash exports, the relatively low current value of potash makes it hard to justify exports through the Baltic and across the Atlantic Ocean, Linville said.” Source

Go for it.

Ah yes, gorgeous view in Edmonton

So what, are you pro windmill cancer or something?

Oh great, pro democracy propaganda!

Have we though?

Guys, stop being so unhinged; this isn’t a trade war!

I suppose it’s time for Canada to change its procurement policies accordingly.

It’s definitely stupidity of some variety.

Stupidity is contagious.

Canadians definitely haven’t been showing enough gratitude since these tariffs on their products came into effect!

““Prime Minister Carney used the term ‘war.’ It’s not a word we use, right? We don’t talk about it that way. For us, it’s business, it’s economics,” Greer told the FT News Briefing podcast.”

I guess we could just do some “business” and “economics” and stop sending electricity and oil to the US…

Textbook dominance move. “We are going to hit you and you can’t hit us back. If you do, we will hit you again.”

We have dumb people living here too.

Snapping Senator was one of my favourites.
