Well I'm not. He can return home to his fascist leader

tomstdenis.bsky.social•2 days ago

Same. Not at all interested in doing any trade with them I don't absolutely need to.

wynnenotwayne.bsky.social•3 days ago

Friends don't let friends get threatened with annexation. 🤬

fauxrrari1.bsky.social•3 days ago

expresses his fake outrage at canadians pushing back and not buying american. Another useless tool. Can't pay attention to him, either.

selek437.bsky.social•3 days ago

Piss off, Yank. We don’t do business with cruel fascists.

jhface.bsky.social•3 days ago

The attitude is like “We’re trying to ruin you so what are you prepared to do for us?”

catherinesnook.bsky.social•3 days ago

What he said: "...business with you, our friends,"

What he left out: "...business with you, our friends again once you remove the reciprocal tariffs."

flyingstronger.bsky.social•3 days ago

Open to doing business on Trump's terms? No thank you.
🇨🇦💪🏻🇨🇦

Translation: the US wants Canada to bend over.

robsm1951.bsky.social•3 days ago

He's the right fit for the WH Occupant. Not the right fit to be the Ambassador to Canada.
1. Anti Muslim
2. Anti 2SLGBTQ+
3. Project 2025 Contributor
4. Opposed to a woman's right to chose.
5. To heck with health care benefits for children
And the list goes on and on.

reddroxx.bsky.social•3 days ago

US and Hoekstra Trump loving cunt he is can go fuck himself

heathcliff3.bsky.social•3 days ago

This guy needs to be ejected from this nation. From a hight of no less than 1000’

catherinesnook.bsky.social•3 days ago

He looks like a used car salesman, don't you think?
(no offense to used car salesmen)

klmillard.bsky.social•3 days ago

But ... they don't need anything from us.

halfpintptbo.bsky.social•3 days ago

Right?!!

bernardleclair.bsky.social•3 days ago

Was he a teacher of International relations at Trump's University?🙄

madksd.bsky.social•3 days ago

Seems they have figured out that we are moving on.

itmustbebunnies.bsky.social•3 days ago

How is this open to doing business? 🤷‍♀️

We renegotiated NAFTA to USMCA in his last term

Since then he has threatened our sovereignty, ripped up a trade agreement in which we gave concessions we didn’t want, lied about fentanyl smuggling and then slapped us with aggressive tariffs
♥️🇨🇦♥️

He can fuck off, Canadians don’t want to do business with them.

'Friends'??????..... how the _ uck do you treat your enemies?

spicyerin.bsky.social•3 days ago

Ambassador Hoekstra can get fucked.

pinkpetal.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, Pete, that is what we are doing and I'm glad you have taken notice. It is meant to send an Elbows Up notice. We will not bow down to the MAGA thug like you do, Pete. (https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/05/16/canada-ambassador-trump-51st-state-interview-00353689)

pinkpetal.bsky.social•2 days ago

Yes, Pete, it is the second one.

pinkpetal.bsky.social•2 days ago

Boo hoo Pete, was this you? 🥲"But he’s also feeling hurt by Canadians’ ban of certain American products from their store shelves in the wake of Trump’s trade war and calls for annexation.

“That is an insult to us,” he said. “We have not done anything like that.”

caro-s.bsky.social•3 days ago

You’re asking the victims of US economic aggression to help save your economy? Canadian citizens have chosen to boycott US goods and services—we’ve moved on. What’s the problem? You said you needed nothing from us.

elphonics.bsky.social•3 days ago

Exactly. We've moved on— they should, too. Abusers are always surprised when their threat to leave is taken seriously.

It's hilarious when *they* come crawling back because it turns out, they need us a lot more than they realized, and we’re just quietly thriving without them 🤭

denewjohn.bsky.social•3 days ago

America, you have almost nothing i’d want to buy. If i realise something i need is American, i will do my darnedest to substitute to another country’s product, you know, a country not threatening to kill Canadians by invading their country. MAGA supporters, you are bonkers - get some therapy now!

erulux.bsky.social•3 days ago

The man looks as dumb as a box o' bricks.

breannewieler.bsky.social•3 days ago

That’s nice.

destiny03.bsky.social•3 days ago

I would say canada should do as little business as possible with u.s. permanently

myinwit.bsky.social•3 days ago

Pound salt!

catevans.bsky.social•3 days ago

Sure. Open to doing business if we control every aspect of trade. Play our game our way & we’re good. Otherwise, go find someone else to play with. Btw, we do need your exports but, again, only on our terms.
Gawd! 🤦🏻‍♀️

juicyfranck.bsky.social•3 days ago

He might want to get his story straight with the Orange Boss

charles-198.bsky.social•3 days ago

I wouldn’t trust that vacant headed grin to do anything…

mistermogs.bsky.social•3 days ago

I'm waiting for the 'or else' part...

shock-and-awe.bsky.social•3 days ago

The or else part is insinuated in interviews that fat fuck has given.

donnasamoyloff.bsky.social•3 days ago

I've read the US write-up on the duties of its ambassadors: promoting foreign policy, sure, but shilling for US businesses? Sounds more up Kimberly Guilfoyle's alley if/when she's confirmed as Ambassador to Greece ("the best is yet to come" and all that). Besides, we're not friends any more!

captainconstance.bsky.social•3 days ago

As they say in the south: Bless his heart

r1100rt.nafofellas.com•3 days ago

Hoekstra is by far the dmbfuckest ambassador that the #U.S. has ever sent to us. He’s Dutch but he ain’t much. #Canada #Donold #Trump

margo-charchuk.bsky.social•3 days ago

Wellllll he can F* right off.

thereallsc.bsky.social•3 days ago

Nope!

firedowser.bsky.social•3 days ago

Well isn’t that an oxymoron

flyflicker.bsky.social•3 days ago

So, he's a moron addicted to Oxy? That's sad.

🤪

mariefeesavante.bsky.social•3 days ago

Are they all stoned in that administration? When will they finally understand the message that we have been sending them for months. #BoycottTheUS #NoUSMilitaryProcurement #Elbowsup #BanStarlink

Fuck off!!!!! We don't do business with dictators who disappear people!!!

WE ARE NO LONGER YOUR FRIENDS!!!

doctorwho123.bsky.social•3 days ago

where the actual fuck has this old white asshole been for the past 4 months! fuck him and fuck his shitty dystopian hellhole that many of us will never step foot in again!

and btw "friends"? really? friends don't stab friends in back or threaten eco hardships on friends! the USA is NOT our friend!

jenness.bsky.social•3 days ago

Is he f***ing serious?!

jessiemcgowan.bsky.social•3 days ago

trishly.bsky.social•2 days ago

the country is NOT open to trade.
TRUMP pissed off almost every Canadian with his annexation threats.
this guy is making a fool of himself

therealsoloremy.bsky.social•3 days ago

Really? This idiot? The same idiot who still supports “enhanced interrogation”, had to apologize for blatantly (and poorly) lying to the Dutch media and hosts fundraisers for Forum For Democracy? (They’re Nazis). That same idiot? Fuck off, Pete

ginamyhill-jones.bsky.social•2 days ago

You our friends… indeed ya pig ! Ambassador me arse. Do they think we’re daft?
This was just insulting, the USA has got to understand they’ve lost friends here….

ylbjo.bsky.social•2 days ago

Hard pass. #BoycottAmerican

marcusdavies.bsky.social•3 days ago

You have no friends, Pete. Move along.

olddanbook.bsky.social•3 days ago

The USA stabbed its "friends" in the back.

shock-and-awe.bsky.social•3 days ago

The same guy who said it's insulting that Canadians ban US products but doesn't think calling us the 51st state is worse? That guy?

kathygottschall.bsky.social•3 days ago

Definition of ‘tone deaf’

karenmedora.bsky.social•2 days ago

Somebody needs to tell him nope we are moving on.

87charvel.bsky.social•3 days ago

I suppose we will have to give the dear leader something in return…a plane maybe? No! That’s been done…how about a discount lease for a golf course…in Iqaluit? That might work! It would almost be worth it to see him try to pronounce and it. On second thought….nah…screw him!!

free2explore.bsky.social•2 days ago

No thanks! #elbowsup

thatoldcanadianguy.bsky.social•3 days ago

The Americans seem to have a collective case of brain death.
Under no circumstances should we be collaborating with the enemy.
They started this fight, but we're going to end it.

kevcat67.bsky.social•3 days ago

Yeah No! 😡

denyou.bsky.social•3 days ago

It is kind of like most Americans are pretending nothing odd is happening in their country. They have to know, right? It isn’t possible to overlook that level of unraveling, is it?

adadcoaching.bsky.social•3 days ago

Oh look it’s a clown 🤡 realizing the usa need Canadians and their money.
Sorry moron until you remove the corrupt trump regime, business with Canada 🇨🇦 should keep declining 💯

pjhvan.bsky.social•3 days ago

Open but 25% tariffs is not OPEN … who are these people

arjafi.bsky.social•3 days ago

This idiot is also whining that Canadians don't want to buy USian products.

juebees.bsky.social•3 days ago

These people are not serious. And they talk like abusers because they are.

pinkpetal.bsky.social•2 days ago

Great point. Abusive game players. Canada is above that.

thursdaykid.bsky.social•2 days ago

Go pound sand #U.S.ambassador
Can't trust anyone frpm the usa. And don't need you either.
Bye.🇨🇦

roddlyyours.bsky.social•2 days ago

Talk about mixed messages. There is no plan. Not even concepts of a plan. They are making it up as they go along, at mercy to the whims of their directionless leader.

carmie1054.bsky.social•3 days ago

With friends like that, who needs enemies 🤦‍♀️
