No need to load up on maple syrup. Canada will fold quickly.

I don't think I've ever purchased a product made in Canada in my entire life. Even as a kid, us Cajuns always had Cane Syrup on pancakes. I don't think sugar cane grows in Canada.

Canada has been taken over.

Jason Munroe wrestles THEIR gun away.
He uses the weapon they brought into his house.

He fires from his porch as they flee.
Hits nobody.

The courts say the shots inside were one thing.
The shots from his own porch were another.

So the dad gets two years less a day of house arrest.

Three years probation.

The Crown wasn’t done.
They went to the Court of Appeal asking for more time.

They lost.

Read that again.

The people who brought an illegal gun into a family home
are not the ones Ottawa is chasing for a longer sentence.

The father who stopped them is.

You don’t need a law degree to see the problem.

You just need a son or daughter

Agreed. Here’s Canada thinking they have a big dick. In reality, they have no dick without the US. Let’s see who wins a trade war. Let’s rock.

Is there some strategy in prematurely announcing deals that haven't been finalized? This is an obvious pattern with President Trump: Greenland, several other trade deals, Iran several times, etc.

Is the strategy to announce the deal, and then demand more concessions? He did this with the Saudi nuclear deal last month...even after it was SIGNED.

Never a dull moment with this administration. I’ve realized that I’m doing pretty damn well. I’ll happily welcome in a sense of normalcy in a couple of years.

Take the land, send the libtards to England, other Common Wealth countries. They'll love it.

Canada is destroying itself with Progressive Left policies.....they are in BIG trouble! Ane USA has nothing to do with that....
You vote for Trudeau and Carney, and this is where you land.

Canada needs the USA....bad.

I sure wish they would straighten up and act like a real country.

Trump is giving them a chance, just like Iran....both are foolish!

UPDATE:

quote:

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is delivering speeches, holding press conferences and trying to justify his position following the collapse of negotiations between the USA and Canada.

Meanwhile, President Trump and his trade team are intentionally quiet. In all high-stakes negotiations, deals and financial issues, the apex predators always know you make your point clearly and without reservation, you establish your terms and then you don’t say anything. Total silence. The first person to break the silence is the losing hand.

Once your terms are established you stay quiet and then let the other party talk, talk, and talk themselves to yes. Silence is the power. Mark Carney is telling everyone his position and trying to justify what has taken place. Mark Carney is in a very weak position on both structure and substance of the issues.

[Within this segment Carney tries to explain what the USA requests were that Canada would not agree to. He notes the U.S. wanted strict control over Canada’s free trade agreements (FTAs) with other countries. What Carney fails to note is that this exists already, right now in the USMCA.

The U.S. has termination rights to both Canada and Mexico FTAs with other countries. This is an example of Carney gaslighting Canadians. In reality, Canada wants unlimited and unrestricted access to the U.S. market as if they were a 51st state. However, Canada will not permit unlimited and unrestricted access to their market for U.S. companies. This, Carney says, compromises the sovereignty of Canada.


quote:

I was confident the discussions would collapse because the Canadian position is based on lies, fraud and political denial. Canada is playing politics hoping to retain their one-sided benefits and outlast President Trump into the midterm election.

Trump, however, has already executed the tariffs and the only thing remaining for him and Greer to do is trigger the six-month USMCA withdrawal.
