Kristen Hillman with perhaps the clearest explanation of how it is the USA who is treating Canada "very badly" not the other way aroud. Of course, much of this has to do with the fact, that most Americans lag far behind the rest of us in literacy and critical thinking...at least 70 million of them.

No one has done more for Canadian unity than Donald Trump No one Every time he speaks he strengthens us and weakens America. Honestly, we couldn't ask for a better catalyst than Trump and his administration. Unfortunately, he's had the opposite effect at home. And it's not coming back.

🍁 In 2025, Canada's exports to the USA dropped by $26 billion. Meanwhile exports to non-US trade partners increased by $35 billion. 🥳 🇨🇦

So what would happen if the USA invaded Cuba? First of all, it wouldn't be easy. More importantly, how would the "hottest" country fix conditions on the Island? I've been places there where the infrastructure hasn't been fixed since the fall of the Berlin Wall...how is USA gonna afford it all?

If this is true, then why is the American administration obsessed with Canada and why do we live rent free in glorious leader's tiny brain? It doesn't add up. Threats, comments, attempts to belittle Canada...none of it makes sense if this is in fact how they really feel

Peaceful relations between Canada and the USA is the anomaly not the norm over 250+ years. 1775, 1812, 1837, 1866, 1890, 1898, 1919-1930, and now 2025-2026 are all examples of American aggression towards Canada.

No one should be surprised that Canada has prepared to defend itself from the United States. Americans have made plans to dominate and control us since the beginning: from November 1775 (Battle of Quebec) to Trump's threats of annexation in 2026, they've wanted what is ours.

The US administration has made a lot of split second decisions, and now they are making split second decisions about those earlier split second decisions. Two wrongs don't make a right: somehow this is going to end in disaster for all. You can almost feel it in the air.

Just a friendly reminder if you do not want to start WWIII: "The war needs to end as quickly as possible," doesn't mean you should drop a nuclear weapon on Iran in order to lower gas prices, protect your seat in congress, or avoid accountability for fraud and pedophilia.

Easiest way to get rid of Trump would be to show him an image of Kaitlin Collins, Mark Carney, Rosie O'Donnell, and Joe Biden leading a caravan of migrants across the Rio Grande. In the distance on the shore, Justin Trudeau can be seen holding a sign saying, GENDER REASSIGNMENTS ---- THIS WAY!

Figured out how we get Trump to have a stroke: Award Carney a Nobel prize and have AOC, Mamdani, Newsome, Kamala, Zelenskyy and Biden present him with the award in a Mosque while a band of trans people plays mariachi music in the background. Female reporters will be invited to ask questions.

Canadian contractors face a shortage of rock salt this upcoming winter. Trump removed the tariff on rock salt at the urging of Susan Collins. Salt is flowing south. Declare a "national emergency" and introduce export taxes on items the Americans desperately need. #markcarney #canada #elbowsup

Trump is so stupid. He fails to realize that USA has 7.5 TIMES the population of Canada and SHOULD in theory be purchasing 7.5 times more than what we purchase from them. The trade deficit was ONLY 27 Billion which is like 3% of the overall trade. The Boycott will grow that number.

It's this simple: If NH vote Republican as polls suggest, and if Maine reelects Susan Collins after everything that's happened then not another goddamn MF "I'm sorry" from an American. If you can't convince people in border states to vote correctly you are truly lost and USA gets what it deserves.

Canadians should be careful not to misunderstand what is being sought and what is being offered by admitting Canada to associate EU membership. We would NOT, become the 28th state in the EU, you will NOT be able to retire to Spain, and Canada will NOT be part of the Schengen Area. Its trade-based

PP says Canada will never be the 28th EU Nation. Did he even take the time to discover what being an associate member of the EU means? This doesn't mean joining the Schengen Area or adopting the Euro. It's less political and more about economics. This would be a good move. Nothing to fear.

Canada and the United States could have a "deal", but the USA doesn't want to give up Maine, Vermont, Minnesota, and Washington. Small ask. Now change it to Ukraine and RuSSia.

Tomorrow I am going to invade Vermont or New Hampshire (I cannot decide which). It likely won't go well for me, but I am going to hold out long enough for Kushner and Witkoff to show up and promise a solution that is a "Win/Win" for both sides...

Canada needs to walk away from the F-35s. We need to increase pricing on potash, aluminum for foreign markets, giving preferred pricing to open markets. Buy fruits and vegetables from external markets beyond the USA. Increase pricing on electricity and fuels for any nation that imposes tariffs.

Greer looks ridiculous saying this is Canada's fault. The entirety of it lies with Trump who doesn't understand trade. Is he just as stupid or play-acting in the clown show? USA initiated the tariffs, then introduced additional tariffs, to which we responded. Make this make sense?

Part of the appeal of Nazism in 1930s Germany was the direct result of harsh economic conditions resulting from the Treaty of Versailles, hyperinflation, world wide economic collapse and Germany's diminished role in the world. What is America's excuse? Joe Biden? LMAO...

Trump and Co. repeated talking points about Canada suggest that we clearly hit a nerve. I thought they didn't need anything from us? Also, I'm proud if this pedophile thinks we're a bigger problem than China or Russia. The only shithole country in any of these discussion is the USA.

In the 1940s, Imperial Japan sought to create its own sphere of influence (dominance) by taking over neighbouring Asian states. This was the great East Asia Co-Prosperity Sphere. today, American is trying to do the same thing in Venezuela, Canada, Greenland, Panama, etc. etc. It only benefits USA

I think the real question isn't when will all this damage and harm stop (because it will stop at some point) but rather how will Americans ever repair all the damage both internally in terms of domestic issues and externally on the world stage? Can it be repaired? Will America even survive this?

If you have to incessantly engage with mainstream media in a (dis)information campaign to state your case in the trade war, then chances are you're attempting a cover up of what you did/said. Silence is golden. Canada will refrain from theatrics. We see through it. All of it. Time Americans do.

Watching the slow death rattle of the Conservative Party can be fun, however leaving a dead horse in charge isn't necessarily good for democracy in Canada. It is time for PP to give it up and allow new ideas into the fold. Oh and thanks Donald and Nutlick for further bolstering Carney's support!
