Canada is a big customer for anything the US makes largely because of that very wide land border. Undoubtedly there are specific things only made, or best made in the US.
Well, until about two weeks ago I did not know that Canada makes the best no-till seed drills in the world. This is because I am not a farmer and do not need to know that. There are thus logically many things that I sort of theoretically know exist, but have no real idea about.
We are damned good at weapons, at least til we drive off the rest of the top end scientists necessary for the R and D! (Only half tongue in cheek here).
I find it hilarious that Canadians and Europeans are no longer buying weapons & military hardware from the US. That alone will cost the US trillions in lost sales.
They shouldn't. I follow a couple of Canadian intel/defense people elsewhere and since Trump I they have been advocating for weapon systems separation from the US.
Yep, these things don't turn on a dime and we won't be able to regain trust on a dime either. The electorate will have to feel pain to then elect competence over moronic culture so-called "warriors".
We only buy and import more goods and services from the US than any other nation on earth—and we do it with less than 10% of the US' population (🇨🇦 41M to 🇺🇸 ~332M people) than ANY other country.
But maybe not for long, because we Canadians hate Trump and will boycott America til he's gone. #ElbowsUp
Mark had the benefit of having watched the "Zelenskyy with #CouchShagger and his #UncleWooWoo. He was ready for him. Let him run his mouth off. Knowing #DonnyDumbFuck would burn US chances of reconciliation whilst filling his diaperless mouth with Poop.
Who wouldn't love to see a coffee table type book compiling the various facial expressions of visiting heads of states in the Oval Office? Definitely German Chancellor Angela Merkel's on the cover, it was priceless!
That's not the job Carney was there to do. What you're wishing for is for someone to come and save you, but I'm sorry, you're gonna have to save yourselves.
and when he left office, we breathed a sigh of relief and thanked the deity that we had an intelligent person in office. The racists subsequently plotted to make sure we never had a black person in office — or any position of power — again.
You do understand that after this chaos, the world will never treat America as the "leader" again. You can't be trusted. We spend billions on changing our economy to make you happy and you just change the rules after it's done. Your reputation has been destroyed by Trump.
We buy the largest amount of American exports in the world. If America doesn't do much business with Canada why would there be a trade deficit? That deficit could be ended immediately if America cut back on what it buys from us. If you don't need anything from us, do it, or is this just a lie?
I think that one for Delaware is incorrect. I see Canada listed as no. 1 & Belgium as no. 10 on the list for 2023. Our biggest exports are medications & aircraft parts according to this article:
BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Porsche, and Volvo have assembly plants in South Carolina and I know that BMW ships most of that output to China. Not sure about the others, but perhaps they do as well.
He's a fucking moron! Pick up many pre-packaged foods in the grocery store "Product of Canada". Go to your local lumber yard and look at the plywood and other lumber "Made in Canada". Look at the tag inside your door on your Ford truck. "Made in Canada". What about aluminum? Car parts?
That's the incredible thing about farmers. They would rather go broke, than admit that they supported the wrong person for President. O.K. I admit that I voted for Nixon twice, and it was a mistake. What's so hard about that?
Most of our toilet paper is made out of Canadian wood. This should get interesting. That’s why I just filled a closet with toilet paper and paper towels.
I desperately want everyone who meets with him to laugh with derision, shake their heads in disgust, abruptly get up and walk out of the room, get in their cars, drive off, and refuse to take his calls ever again.
I can't watch for very long without having to turn it off and could not imagine what that would be like. Trapped with stupid lies you have to pretend you take seriously.
PM Carney exercised the utmost restraint when he met with #felon today. I respect him for that, but I would also have respected him if he had taken off the gloves.
#felon is the bully who needs to be taken down and out. I believe that most Americans feel as I do.
Thank you, Canadian friends.👏🏼🇨🇦
True. Tho there are many among us, especially we who live in Swing States which miraculously (unbelievably) ALL went red at the same time, despite every indication that they would go blue, who refute the claim that #felon won the election.
Regardless, we want #felon & his cling-on tentacles GONE!
I guess when you base a lot of your society on war mongering then you would make the better equipment, sure… Canada prefers peacekeeping but you do you, Donny.
Also Canada's steel and aluminum keep that war machine running, so…
His ego demands that he turn his failure into a win by virtue of making it sound like we don’t need them, that what they bring to the table is of little consequence.
It truly amazes me that this man thinks that he is so intelligent and that everyone is in that room listening to him because he’s so wise, and not because we cannot believe the words that are coming out of his mouth
I think from his expression his thought was, "Is this for real? Am I being punked? No, this guy is just a rude ignoramus that has a serious brain illness. Holy shit, these other guys are playing a long. The world is in some deep shit."
Blathering idiot felon spewing endless stupidity in front of cheap tacky gold crap poorly trying to convince much, much smarter, real leader of how great (?!?!) this (now) shithole country has become.
He talks about Canada needing our military equipment. Who’s gonna tell him that S Korea has very good beautiful military equipment and that they are already contacting Canada?
In regards to the F-47’s he said the version sold to allies would have reduced capabilities because someday they might not be our allies (paraphrased and stolen from WP)
I had to look it up to make sure cause there is so much crazy to keep up with 🫠
And so they are. Everyone is. Ol’ China, S Korea, and Japan are rubbing their little palms together. They are chuffed! They didn’t know we’d hand it to them!
Like Carney, I would have been able to keep my mouth shut. However, it took great fortitude for him not to make the faces that I, undoubtedly would have.
(This is why I never turn on my camera for meetings. My face won’t shut up!)
In 1982 the Clash played Calgary and Edmonton. Lot of excitement. As Strummer went AWOL some months before.
Joe was there and so were I and Mark Carney! Me in cgy and Mark in Edmonton.
Knew I liked him for a reason! COMBAT ROCK-KNOW YOUR RIGHTS TOUR 🇨🇦
Oh, the slow eye roll!! Perfect. I always feel a lot of sympathy for foreign leaders having to sit there and listen politely to his blathering insults and boasts.
No. And in that way he is far tougher than I am. But I had really hoped he would hold a much more stern attitude to Trump in the flesh. His talk was much tougher in front of Canadian press. The same is true for Trump. Tired of these phony tough heads of state
China stopped buying from Boeing you pampered ass bitch so will Canada if you keep running your ignorant mouth. Even Carney knew he was off on his math on what we buy from Canada IDIOT
This is the moment he realizes that the US does not have a functioning, well meaning presidency. In fact he is dealing with an aging narcissist..the worst kind.
Everything, every lie this “thing” says, reveals even more what a BS artist and clueless con-man he is. Most of the world knows it. My pup has more intelligence and honesty.
It's true that America buys more goods (mainly oil) from Canada than Canada buys from the US (it forms the trade surplus - and it's not a 'subsidy').
It's also true that Canada is America's number one customer - we buy more goods from America than any other country.
Trump is misleading Americans.
Yes, exactly, and he sounds like a blithering, unhinged imbecile — even to those who know nothing about the conversational topic at hand! That's how obvious his cognitive impairment is.
Were he a horse, his owner would already have put him down. 🤨
I would love for a foreign leader to say to his face, "You have no idea what you are talking about. You do not know how anything works. That's why you have bankrupted business after business, driving them into the ground. And if someone doesn't stop you, you are going to do the same thing to the US.
That’s really up to his children to do that. They are negligent if they aren’t being honest with him. His brains are scrambled. Sad really. It’s all TV to Trump
This is the truth, but would it be to that non-American national leader's advantage? Absolutely not. World leaders are visiting the White House to try to gain advantage for their own countries, not to fix America's problems.
If the other countries form an alliance, it very well could be to their advantage. It will do them no good, as was evident today, to come to the White House to try to work out any deal. The president is an addled crook and liar who does not honor any agreements that he makes.
I don't know that we know now what the outcome of say, Carney's visit to the White House will be. He did demonstrate to the whole world that his politeness and composure are both excellent, which is to Canada's advantage while he is Prime Minister.
I think the other giants lost them for the first giant on purpose. Then Trump’s Lilliput ass picks them up and they’re like, “Girl, phew. He’s doing you a favour cause I was gonna stomp on them.”
But you can. It's called a general strike. And I don't advocate that people just on their own spontaneously decide to walk out of work, achieve nothing, and then lose their jobs.
But if progressive leaders could organize massive work stoppages that would have more impact.
lettuce is a good filler with lots of other good vegs. For people who have eating disorders, like me, for which there are no affordable solutions, it's a life saver...
Every time he opens his mouth he proves what a complete idiot he is! "We don't do much business with Canada" Oh, okay...eye roll, smirk, smirk. You are an embarrassment to all Americans!
Canada is the world’s top buyer of US exports
Official US data shows that Canada bought about 17% of US goods exports in February and March, the last month for which data is available – more than any other country. Canada bought about 16% of US goods exports in January, second only to Mexico.
Mad props. If Carney ever decides to leave mainstream politics, he's a sure bet as a late-show host (that pokerface, side-eye/eye-roll, neck-crick bit? Flawless.)
It is obvious that Trump is feeling the sand shifting under his feet. Even in his delusional mind he understands that he is quickly running out of time, money and political capital with the US citizens, even his own supporters. He tries to bluff his way through with bluster knowing he is failing.
You would think a snake oil salesman would at least be able to display the snake oil that’s on sale, but instead, “just pay now and we’ll ship it to you in 5-10 business days.”
Trump is a shameless clown forever. Carney says Canada will never sell, while Trump doesn’t dare say, “You’ll sell whether you want to or not”? He’s exposing his rogue and scoundrel face to the world. 🤡
His face is: "ya know what, this guy is a fuckin' idiot, I mean probably clinically, so is it really fair for someone with my education and experience to unload how I really feel right now on this simpleton?"

Love your interpretation of what he was thinking

Vladdy may hold back on releasing the files after all.
No other politician is so obvious about their fealty to Russia.
Long Live our United States.
A troubled life to trump and his cohorts.

I'm embarrassed and ashamed to have Mr. Carney near this babbling baboon's ass.
Why am I doing this to myself?
What an embarrassment he is.

U.S. goods exports to Canada in 2024 were $349.4 billion
That means:

Each American spent $1179
Canadians have been giving Americans $7556 more per person
