Not really "shocking." The natural & predictable result of tfg's relentless targeting of Canada for annexation and tariffs. One might think that alienating our long time allies is the plan.
Yep saw that. Just said good for them. They have to do what they need to. Trump has declared war on our allies. This is the consequence. He needs to be removed for whatever reason we can do it with.
It's not just Trump. It's the people who elected him and the system that empowers him.
No single individual should hold as much power as you have apparently allowed your Presidents to hold. That's the real issue here - and no country will trust you again until you've dealt with that massive issue
That will drive 47 nuts(er). I'm sure he expected other leaders to come crying to him so he could be fakey magnanimous. Carney has a degree in economics, I heard, so 47 is again playing checkers (I'm being generous) in a chess match.
He has a PhD in economics from Oxford and a relieved a bachelor's degree from Harvard. Governor of Bank of Canada, Governor of Bank of England through Brexit, this guy has more high level connections around the world than the cheeto could dream of. We are lucky to have him ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐จ๐ฆ๐

I gotta gree with you on that one! He incapable of remaining continent, how the hell did anyone in their right mind think he could run a country, after he failed the first time. I'm on the west coast too, okanagan valley bc.๐๐จ๐ฆ๐ฌ๐ฑ๐ฆ๐บ๐บ๐ฆ๐ฒ๐ฝ๐บ๐ธ8647
Sadly we have a group of illiterates in this country that voted for an illiterate president. You are lucky to have someone with education and background, it's what we usually have in the oval office but we've fallen from Grace.
I keep telling people, we've got enough natural resources, farmland, and energy to help build another country's economy. It doesn't have to be the USA. The USA was local, the closest and most convenient for shipping, so we went with them, but we don't have to.
Sorry but the world donยดt really care what the GOP do, they set America on fire now they can deal with it and the world will join together and keep the orange virus out.
Now Canada should do something bold and make more exceptions for Americans, who are fed up with the Trump regime and move to Canada, boost their economy, even more with hard-working people.
We love โค๏ธ ๐จ๐ฆ!! Letโs gooooooo and let Trump take US economy.. alone. I will say this that any back paddling by Trump is not going to change Canadaโs new economic alignments for trade because USA cannot be trusted. โItโs overโ as our Prime Minister says. And Trump called it. Byeeeee
He just dropped the equivalent of an atomic bomb on his own country, economically. We must stop underestimating his madness. Assume he will default to the same suicidal M.O. geopolitacally. #Iran #NuclearCodes #TheFootball
Speaking from the UK, our leaders need to stop dicking about trying to get a trade deal with the US, and get involved in this (as well as rejoining the EU, pronto).
As individuals, we are beginning to boycott US made physical products.
We need to do so on a national level too.
They are purposely trying to isolate America in a delusion that weakening America will do the opposite. They seem to be taking their direction from our adversaries.
The GOP? The GOP have abdicated their responsibilities and spines to an orange smothered man-baby and the Heritage Foundationโs Nazis. The time for them to have stood up was in 2016.
As an American citizen I can only say- good for Canada and the other countries. The so called president of the United States is a fool. And the every day working American, the elderly and the poor will pay the price for his foolishness.
๐They shld have in 2015. I will never expect the republican party to finally find their spine & go against our proxy prez that gave them power. They don't want to lose any of the bribe money Putin gives them, either. We will have to work around the weak males of the GQP, they have no real men!
Whatโs happening is the world is going to work around the USA. They will trade with each other and avoid doing business with the USA. MAGA got away with bullying their fellow Americans for years. Now, they think they can bully the world. But, the world isnโt going to tolerate their bullshit!
This is not just a freak one-off situation; more and more countries are boycotting goods from the US and will eventually seek different trade partners and leave the US out. Trump didn't think this thru properly, something an idiot would do.
The right wing politicians consist of a few GOP Republicans / used to be decked with some moderates โ the far right Conservatives / Tea Party and the MAGAt Partyโextremists all being led by a convicted felon by his peers, with 34 count of crimes.
Simply, the US has demonstrated trust & agreements mean nothing.
It's not just the tarrifs. It's the saber rattling & threats. It's the internal strife it's a gov failing to reign in the insanity. It's not a stable environment to do biz.
Countries are moving to protect themselves accordingly.
The sad thing about this is itโs the perfect example of creating problems when there are none. The ego and narcissism of a handful of people created this to the detriment of many. Our descendents will look back on this and say โhow did you allow this to get fโd upโ? 2 words- voter apathy
As an Englishman I admire Carney. He did a good job at the BOE.
England and Canada share a monarch. We have history. I fully support Canada. ๐จ๐ฆ ๐ด๓ ง๓ ข๓ ฅ๓ ฎ๓ ง๓ ฟ
Canada: build a wall and make us pay for it. Once Trump leaves, we can rip it down for dramatic purposes and recycle the material to build some orphanages or something.
Wow, what a normal grown-up professional thing to do for his country. I wish we had someone like that running our country. You know someone that did thing for the people, the community and the world.
@govmaurahealey.bsky.social this is not our country anymore. The Constitution has been voided. Massachusetts needs to be talking about next steps. @massago.bsky.social, they want stateโs rights? Letโs show them stateโs rights.
Its not about screwing the USA. Why trade with people who can't be trusted. If America wants to go it alone, they can and will. The rest of the developed world sees value in interdependence.
Anyone with brains know u canโt do things alone ! This man and his crew are nuts spineless and basically evil , they know the damage , and donโt care ! Oh I forgot , silly me , itโs those good Christianโs !!!!
And THIS is what we were all afraid of!! Trump causing a war with our allies, raising the prices on all goods we buy at home and eliminating jobs!! Heโs not strengthening our economy, heโs sabotaging it! HEโS DESTROYING OUR COUNTRY!
Why wouldnโt they? Even if the next President is a Democrat, the future of the world should never rest with a few thousand dumbass MAGAt voters in a handful of bullshit ass โswingโ states like Pennsylvania, Michigan and Arizona.
Absolutely I would not touch the USA with a barge pole ! Why would anyone after this nightmare and the mad maggats living in here want to be living isolated ! Now they will have it .
Indeed. That's one of my biggest fears. The damage done to US by Trump & Trumpism won't be "fixed" by a simple Democratic majority in Congress! The trust broken w/ the world and the damage done to our own medical/research/educational systems cannot be "switched" back on if Trump isn't stopped NOW!
Even if he's stopped now, it'll take generations to fix. At least a lot of these things can be overturned because they're governing via Executive Order. 48 can write new ones
Yes as you say, it will take generations to fix much of the damage. And not all the ruined lives can snap back. Reversing Executive Orders is the least of it. And that's assuming we have fair elections again. Definitely not guaranteed! ๐
Google for a minute, finding Mercedes, Volkswagen, Hyundai etc have manufacturing plants in US. Fordโs many plants overseas and US. So Vance thinks itโs ok to โbring jobs backโ but not invest overseas! These are global companies who plan strategically for decades, unlike Trump who is a populist!
I think we should stand up, and there should no longer be a GOP. They are the ones who have allowed, enabled, and gave the path forward for Trump to do everything he wants.
I'm hoping that this disaster will be a wakeup call for my fellow Americans. Our country can't be run on autopilot without things devolving into what we are seeing today. We can't rely on elected politicians to do what we the people want if WE aren't engaged and doing our part. WE have the power.
But it won't happen until we are all on the slippery slope headed for major pain with no relief in sight, that the GOP rank and file, realizing they've been LIED to for all this time, demand their officials take that stand!
By then, it will be, can we stop the slide before we reach the final bottom?
Donald Trump and his whole administration is totally incompetent, disgraceful and detestable! Our country has become an embarrassment. Further, every single Republican in Congress is an utter coward and political hack! They are spineless minions and should go straight to hell! Sickening...๐คฎ
Trump wanted to isolate and weaken the U.S. so that he could buy the salvage for next to nothing. Looks like Trump's isolation tactics might, however, mean empowering the parts of the free world happy to join together in common cause against the U.S. and its citizens. Works for me.
What the hell did he think was going to happen? He's not the boss of every nation. He's barely in charged of US. Just like money he only has the power we give him. What happens when we all take OUR power back? Let's find out.
Somebody sold him (along with many Americans, come to think of it) the idea that the US is in charge.
All the 'leader of the free world' rubbish that's had the world outside the US rolling our eyes for decades (primarily because there isn't one), they believed.
People were willing to follow along when the USA used soft power ( build UN, WHO, NATO). But when you use selfish hard power you get different results.
Good for them. As much as this is going to cost us as Americans who didnโt vote for this idiot, we obviously didnโt do enough to prevent this scumbag from getting reelected.

No single individual should hold as much power as you have apparently allowed your Presidents to hold. That's the real issue here - and no country will trust you again until you've dealt with that massive issue
But I think and hope heโll win huge over Mr Poilievre
Love to my American brothers and sisters south of the 49th. We care but time to move on

May not be able to leave or even be welcomed by another country-
Americans will be turned away- like we have done to many ๐ข
Let that sink in
Unfortunately it's with the wrong crowd....
And sometimes we burn them.
As individuals, we are beginning to boycott US made physical products.
We need to do so on a national level too.
Itโs no longer convenient so weโll find new partners to sell and buy from that share our values
#Canada has many things the world wants if weโre not selling to #usa anymore
ALSO 'DO NOT' LOSE FOCUS IN THE DAMAGE RFK JR HAS DONE TO AMERICA....WITH DONALD TRUMP'S BLESSING!

USA was declining , trump just gave it a shove .

trump's on-again off again tariff BS is a hat trick that the rest of the world refuses to play.
We are no longer the leader of the free world.
We are no longer a trusted trade partner.
We can no longer be trusted w/state secrets.
