“Carney’s official statement deserves to be read in full, slowly, with a beer, because underneath the diplomatic wallpaper it’s the most quietly savage document a G7 leader’s put out in years. It reads like a bank manager foreclosing on a bloke’s entire self-image & the bank manager is enjoying it.”

According to King Trump, the US no longer needs to have Canada as a secure trading partner. It’s well past time for CF-18s to be replaced. Well past time to cancel the F-35 and go with Gripen.

The problem was never the tariffs. It was the 51st state talk and attempts (which are ongoing) to break Canada apart. It was the fact that over 50% of the American popular vote went to the ma who would be King. So no, I don’t feel like our neighbourhood has improved with SCOTUS ruling today.

Trump threatening tariffs against Canada (again) and insulting our Prime Minister. The signature of the leader of the USA is worth less than the Sharpie he writes. The USA is a completely unreliable trading partner.

There won’t be any Atlantic convoys of military might. Ships are easy targets in this day and age. Ditto the Pacific. The Americans really do have their sights on Canada, and to a lesser extent S. America. America needs space, minerals, oil, and water. Canada is the target, the rest is just steps.

The American government is no longer a trustworthy partner for Canada. We renegotiated NAFTA in Trumps first term, and he promptly broke our trading partnership within weeks of his second. We need to seriously invest in our own defense capabilities and find other markets for our products.

Canada needs to sign a rare earth deal with Ukraine. Any deal at all, just to piss off King Trump. That being said, Canada and Ukraine probably have a lot to offer each other and so some trade deal would be good. We need more markets across the Atlantic, and Ukraine would be a great partner.

King Trump thought he could strong arm and humiliate President Zelenskyy into a deal that would make Trump look like a genius deal maker. It didn’t work. The King of America fundamentally doesn’t understand the idea of service to country and that some people put others needs ahead of their own image
