I’ll believe it when I see it.
It’s just a con to make them the 51st state. Trump is already stated clearly that that’s what he wants.
Then fucking act like it.
can we just ditch this whole „czar“ bullshit ?
Living next to the United States is much like living above a crack house.
Hey, that’s great – get bent, ya hoser.
Don’t do it Canada! Americans need a generation of destitution to fucking learn.
I think a simple „lol“ is suitable for this.
Like when we had full access via NAFTA?
Remember „We don’t need anything from Canada“? We put more stock in your words than you do.
There’s no deal that can be made with the United States that can possibly be relied upon when you have a moron of a president who changes his mind on a whim.
Has anyone from this administration actually laid out their issue with globalization? or is USA really just memeing their economy?
Trump’s trade czar can go service a giant bag of dicks.
His podium says America First.
Well, we’re Canada First, and your deals are trash
The literal first paragraph is
„United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told Canadians looking for insights into the future of bilateral trade this week that “America First” is policy, not a slogan, and they should not expect a return to the way things were.“
But they get so incredibly outraged that Canada wants to put itself first in terms of dairy, liquor, lumber, energy etc… they have absolutely no concept of give and take, so fuck em
Then start acting like adults and come to the negotiation table with concrete and constructive options that can build an enduring “Fortress North America” instead of the constant toxic rhetoric, threats and economic attacks.
Regardless, whatever future trade relationship we here in Canada have with our erstwhile US ally, we will need to have robust firewalls and arms-length protections socially, culturally, politically, economically and in terms of security and defence. Canada can never, ever allow ourselves to be in a position of dependence nor of vulnerability with respect to the US again. This means that Canada must continue to diversify its trade and security relationships. In parallel, we will need to continue to reduce our reliance on the US military industrial complex as we expand our domestic defence procurement and industrialization efforts.
Over the past 15 months, the current US regime and its cult has been proven to be craven, odious, feckless corrupt, toxic, vile and malignant. Canada cannot be in any position that exposes us to the contagion that is pervading the US political right now.
I wouldn’t bother to negotiate as they have already shown their colours.
They are hoping that they can find a way to „separate and break up Canada“ and so they can do a resource grab. Even now they are interfering in our country as here is the BBC article from the begining of this year. [‚Respect Canadian sovereignty‘, Carney tells US officials after they meet Alberta separatists](https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/cr57j780pgmo)
>Rath, co-founder of the Alberta Prosperity Project, a grassroots organisation pushing for an independence referendum, told the BBC on Thursday that his group has travelled to Washington on three occasions in the last year, as private citizens on a „fact-finding basis“.
>Their meetings with senior officials were conducted as „a feasiblity study“ on a possible $500bn (£362bn) line of credit should the province separate, he said, adding that his group was not soliciting funding.
>British Columbia Premier David Eby said that „**to go to a country and ask for assistance in breaking up Canada – there’s an old-fashioned word for that, and that word is ‚treason’**“.
If Canada negotiates a better deal than last time, the USA will quickly break the deal. If Canada negotiates the same deal as last time, the USA will quickly break the deal. If Canada negotiates a worse deal than last time, the USA will quickly break the deal.
This is pointless. Time is better spent elsewhere.
Why would anyone trust anything the US proposes any longer? This administration changes and drops any agreement the second they feel like it. I can’t see any country getting into anything binding with the US for a long time to come.
I assume anyone in the US government is incompetent, corrupt and at the very least supports child trafficking.
‚Work with‘
No they want to claim anything in Canada for them first.
Almost like…a north American free trade deal that we had.
that’s so weird, I recall being told quite explicitly that the USA didn’t need anything from Canada.
>United States Trade Representative Jamieson Greer told Canadians looking for insights into the future of bilateral trade this week that “America First” is policy, not a slogan, and they should not expect a return to the way things were……..
>……One source said Greer cautioned that Canada should not attempt to use those resources as leverage in negotiations on the trilateral trade pact.
Just fuck off already. Americans be America first all they want, I don’t give a fuck, so long as Canadian leaders stand-up and say cool; but we, as Canadians, are Canada first, it is a policy and not a slogan you hosers.
Fuck trump
Trump said multiple times he was going to destroy Canada’s economy, weaken us with punishing tariffs, and then annex us and make us a state. Nice ally, no? The US acts in bad faith and should not be trusted on any level.
Oh, we are back to being cooperative allies? I’m pretty sure the US said that Canada didn’t have anything the US needed.
The US needs to get its shit together, it’s a fucking joke.
Can I sue due to the whiplash of this flip-flopping administration?
No they fucking don’t lol If they really did, then we would be already. How about you get a leader who doesn’t shit himself and stomp around on social media like a toddler EVERY SINGLE NIGHT when shit doesnt go exactly how he wants it to. Put him in a home and put someone with an actual brain in the seat.
We had already been spending a few billion dollars making sure we get some of the minerals. Trump blew that up in a year. China now has right of first refusal in all minerals Canada will be exporting thanks to Trump’s idiocy.
> Greer said the United States is looking to work with Canada on energy and critical minerals development in ways that would be mutually beneficial to both countries, the sources said.
> One source said Greer cautioned that Canada should not attempt to use those resources as leverage in negotiations on the trilateral trade pact.
> Another source said Greer did not appear to be sending a warning. The source said Greer argued that if Canada is making the case for energy collaboration, it shouldn’t come with the condition of U.S. concessions.
It’s a total clown-show 🤡
“The trade czar said Canada is committed to its green energy transition – pointing to electrification and electric vehicles – and said that doesn’t align with U.S. policy.”
Who cares what the U.S. policy is. We do what we want…they can go f*ck themselves.
Mark Carneys own words from 3 days ago- “A lot of countries rushed into deals with the US. They weren’t really worth the paper they were written on”
„Wants to work with“ = „Wants“
They want to bend us over. How do I know? They’ve been telling us for the last fourteen months!
Negotiations can *start* when ALL illegal tariffs are removed, and not until then.
*Slaps the person sitting next to you in class in the face*
„hey you want to work on the homework together?“
Of course, they’re running out of earth metals needed for missile production and oil costs are going up for them. Both issues caused by donald. How about we dont bail them out this time.
There is no deal that Trump won’t eventually violate. Whether it’s someone else’s deal or it’s his own. Might take a year or a month or a week or a day. Or less. But it will always happen
Only thing I want to hear from you guys is when ‚the day‘ happens. We all know what day that is. Can’t wait to celebrate. Until then, fuck off, assholes
The fuck we do. You don’t need canada. That’s what your leader said.
Such a crazy idea, it might actually work… like it did… until somebody threw a tantrum over I can’t remember what.
Canadians, my brothers and sisters, vote to cut us off. I know, I know — it’s fodder for our spin doctors but hear me out:
We need each other, but this romance is busted until the loss makes the heart grow fonder. You can campaign on „we could if you would“ and actually starve out the weeds to the breaking point.
Not alone, no. But I will shake your hand one last time if you’d just shut the blinds on us until this is over. My nation can’t recover it’s promise until it is made to beg forgiveness.
Please do anything you can to encourage your diplomatic and economic representatives to seek long-term solutions that treat the US as a non-participant however they can. Make strong demands for restitution.
If you and other nations don’t humble the US now there’s no way this ends well for any of us. The US is the global pitbull (no offense, I luv my pup) of big money and that’s it.
I’m willing to eat out of cans, not my first time. Save yourselves so maybe we can save ourselves.
Jfc Trump is such a joke. Im sooo tired of being embarrassed that he is our President.
Why would Canada want to work with us now? After everything Trump has said and done to them?
Translation: The U.S. wants to take all of Canada’s energy and critical minerals.
Whoa! I thought Americans didn’t need anything from Canada? We’re nasty remember?
Jog fucking on.
Whatever happened to „USA doesn’t need Canada“? One way or another, the deal is going to be broken because of the US if anything is ever agreed upon.
