I don't want to be flippant-the costs to people are real and significant-but anyone else feeling like no deal with this colossal, disrespectful asshole, is the best path? Wait out his term, don't lock into a bad deal(there is no win here) with this condescending bully. #cdnpoli

As the Trump regime floats banning diesel exports, imagine the wake up call if Canada followed the genius lead of Trump? We export 2,853,058,165.4675 gallons of diesel alone per year to Trump. Let that sink in arrogant MAGA . Maybe we should too, seems a good idea EH? #cdnpoli

What did we learn here? That US does need Canada's potash, analysts agree there aren't any options, Belarus doesn't have the capacity or availability, cheaper potash an illusion and world demand will only grow, giving Canada more leverage. Man MAGA showed us! #cdnpoli

PM Carney’s speech a master class, particularly the very pointed shots at Trump without naming him. A rude bully, an amoral regime, an erratic threat, a power than needs to checked, an unreliable partner. And all without direct reference, but strong inference. Perfect. #cdnpoli

Just remember big talking Americans bashing Canada, part of the reason your interest rates just went up (ours didn't btw) is because of this tariff war fueling inflation. Enjoy "owning Canada", we're vacationing in Europe with friends. Ciao. #cdnpoli #uspoli

Just remember the exact same people criticizing stronger ties with the EU were also the intellectual lightweights who thought BREXIT would be great for England. These people start with an ideology that can't compute math and logic, moved by sloganism, not reason. #cdnpoli

Allow me to geek out for a moment. Listening to PM Carney explain his ideas, I love the complexity of his mind. He weaves differing policies into a larger philosophical strategy. You see the coherence, you can see his command, he is an incredibly competent person. #cdnpoli

According to CBC "Front Burner", the international response to Carney's Investment Summit was so great, there had been intense lobbying of Canadian officials by those not invited to be included. Also a major motivation for some, "alternatives" to America. #cdnpoli #uspoli

Definition of an intellectually boring Opposition, you can predict exactly what they'll say before they've commented. The domain of simpletons, treats voters for fools, offers nothing compelling but rebuttal for its own sake. During a crisis, doesn't meet the moment. #cdnpoli

The pearl clutching CPC never disappoint with their kneejerk EU opposition. It's like we are proposing closer ties to North Korea the way they are hyperventilating. Per usual, nothing of value to offer except greviance and fear mongering. What a sad party, lightweight malcontents. #cdnpoli

Watching a superpower fade in real time is quite something. The fact the narrow bravado and hubris can't even detect this most obvious fact, is astounding. The world is moving on, working around, the world order is changing and America is most certainly fading. #cdnpoli

I have no desire for Canada to sign an objectively bad trade deal in the name of expediency. Unfortunately, it will be a painful 2.5 years irregardless of a deal or no deal, I'd rather not box ourselves into a formal arrangement that cements unfairness. #cdnpoli

158 Canadians died in Afghanistan, fighting for their American ally, in response to 9/11. When people say "never forget" stateside, I'm reminded of how many have, now openly mocking our military and country. And the pathetic US Ambassador at Gander today, shameful. #cdnpoli

Everyone polling aggregate in America shows an increased chance of the Dems taking the Senate, lower Trump approval, higher Dem vs GOP gap, SINCE the trade escalation with Canada. Just a coincidence I’m sure… #cdnpoli

If I'm Canada I don't respond to the latest tariffs. The Americans have actually dropped a few items, and while some of the new ones hurt, this isn't really a huge escalation in the grand scheme. No retaliation right now would be the wisest course. #cdnpoli

Let's remember a few years ago, the "proudest" Canadians waving flags, hanging them on highways, honking in the name of patriotism, nobody could love a country more, nobody "braver"protecting it. And now, when the real threat exists, excuses, half hearted apologists. So illuminating EH? #cdnpoli

Nice to see Canadians tariffs driving Trump to a RECORD low approval. #cdnpoli "56% percent of voters, including more than 60% of independents and nearly one-third of Republicans, said they disapproved of Trump's 50% tariff on roughly $20 billion in Canadian goods."

Beyond bravado and belittling, arrogance and hubris, threats and taunts, he isn't changing anyone's minds. Your own people so clearly reject attacking Canada, it will eventually bring a climbdown, it's inevitable and we just wait it out. He can't win with these numbers. #cdnpoli
