DebunKitty @debunkitty.bsky.social · 23/08/2026So now leftists are just going to forget all about everything Carney has done - from rolling back climate regs to slyly making US military purchases - because he walked away from a predicably false deal. The left is talking like the libs and centrists. Fuck this. Grow a spine, babies. 100
DebunKitty @debunkitty.bsky.social · 23/08/2026American media - including the independent side - is ignorant about Canada. They do not understand why the latest trade talks failed, what was proposed, why it mattered, how their government follows an 11th hour insane demands playbook in other talks or what the Canadian politicians represent. 1/2 152
DebunKitty @debunkitty.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Listen, I don't know why most folks can't see the pattern but I'll lay it out for you; The Republicans - this is bigger than Trump, so stop focusing on him - want to create a hemispheric block in the Americas of compliant vassal states. 1/6 154
DebunKitty @debunkitty.bsky.social · 22/08/2026"The suggestion that Canada would not trade with other countries or reduce our trade with other countries ... would reduce us to the economic equivalent of the 51st state," Eby said.

DebunKitty @debunkitty.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Ok, I'll take that dare. The Republicans don't negotiate when the care about the outcome. Instead, they continue to pile on insane requests until the other side is forced to walk. This is how they negotiate 'peace' with Iran and it's how they discuss trade with Canada. 1/10 152
DebunKitty @debunkitty.bsky.social · 22/08/2026Hey, Libs - Trump is NOT the problem. He's a figurehead, a symbolic king. The Republicans don't make deals when they want something important to them. They pile on demands until the other side walks. Carney's economic/policy alignment wasn't enough; they want a vassal state, not a partner. 032
DebunKitty @debunkitty.bsky.social · 22/08/2026In short, they offered statehood without a vote. Even the zombie PC party the Liberals have become didn't want that.

DebunKitty @debunkitty.bsky.social · 22/08/2026The US has a pattern. Negotiate but continue upping insane demands until the other side walks away. They do this in war as well as trade. If a deal is made easily, it means it was unimportant to them. Carney should now know being an economic and foreign policy ally to Republicans isn't enough. 000
DebunKitty @debunkitty.bsky.social · 22/08/2026"Last-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal," Carney wrote in a statement. Well, of course. That's what they do, and it's what they've done in every negotiation that matters, from trade to war. 111

Your dear leader has moved a step closer to his goal of an integrated North American economy and security fortress. All those pipelines that suspiciously work better to serve the US than any "diversified" market? The private trade deal with Trump? lol 000
DebunKitty @debunkitty.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Yes, and he doesn't even hide it in his public statements anymore. Too many Canadians aren't willing to accept they voted for a conservative economist aligned with the Republicans, while others decided they love how Carney provides cover for them as closet rightwingers who want to appear 'liberal'. 030
DebunKitty @debunkitty.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Go read the original post and follow up. There are receipts provided.

DebunKitty @debunkitty.bsky.social · 19/08/2026Exactly. Carney seemingly just made a trade deal with Trump during a private conversation between the two which he later briefed his cabinet and then the Premiers about. The Trump team is saying it will make North America an "energy powerhouse". He's a conservative aligned with Republicans. 042
