Today’s announcement is not enough. All tariffs and threats of tariffs should be immediately removed. Until then, Canada will not stand down, and Canadians will stand together. (2/3)

If elected, my government will pursue an approach with the United States based on mutual respect and credible commitments that benefit people in both our countries. (3/3)
Diversifying away from America and interprovincial trade is all I want to hear. Show us your European connections and financial aptitude. We can never be put in this position again Mr. Carney. Some things make sense but I really liked Joly's message with Amanpour, it was stellar!
The current US administration is incapable of respect, credibility or honouring commitments. And they care not a whit for anyone in either country other than themselves.
I’m behind anyone who won’t buy into his tariff whiplash for the next four years. Canadians have lives to live and destinies to fulfill IN SPITE of the crazy man in the White House.
More Europe and Asia and Central/South America- less US.
Elbows up until he give up or is gone. No retreat.
It's true. The strategy Russia initially pursued in Ukraine, stalled by Maidan, which was just straight up corruption, was successful in the US. I am always mindful that in 2016, when the DNC emails were hacked and some released, the RNC was hacked first, and those were not released by WikiLeaks.
Kind of hard to have mutual respect for a dude that refers to our PM as a "Governor" and wishes to swallow up our Country by economically choking us into submission. No, we do not respect bullies, we call them out and stand up to them. This is our Country, CANADA! #ElbowsUp
I hate to break it to you, Donald Trump has no respect for anyone or anything. The only thing he cares about is money and power. Nothing you sign, nothing you say means anything. If you want to protect your country you need to stop trading with the US and cooperating with the US.
We need to continue to develop, manufacture and trade internally, no credible commitment can be had from the current US group. Pursuing credible commitments with Mexico, the EU and others is the place to look for mutual respect.
Please don't back down! We are begging you here in the U.S. I am deeply ashamed of my country right now, and so moved by Canada and the way you are standing up to this madman.
If anything, things like potash need to have an export tariff on the us. We need to not just hold our own. We need to push back until he removes all his tariffs
Surrender? Not at all. I want us to diversify our trade away from the USA and to refuse to engage in trade negotiations before we have a reliable partner.
Lost trust: We are still paying for the Liberals Phoenix Employee payroll system debacle. It has exceeded 3.5 Billion. The starting budget was 5.8 Million.That is 60,244% OVER BUDGET. They let groupthink cloud thinking. Dissenters were framed as an enemy. Phoenix debacle will be Canada with Carney!
Trump respects dictators and authoritarians. Don't expect respect. There are no credible committments with Trump. As much as we can do away with any relationship with Trump, Canada should. Don't think you are so smart that he will respect you. He's a sociopath and a narcisistic villain.
I believe you will be our next Prime Minister. Canadian’s want to see our defence spending increase significantly.
I know many who would buy a government issued saving bond to raise the money necessary in a short period time.
Please consider this. It time for ‘guns before butter’
I agree, but with one stipulation. All future defense spending must be spent in Canada or Europe. Zero future defense dollars to be spent on American products. Period. None.
We cannot trust them to stand down while Trump is president. He doesn't honour agreements. He is what he is and has demonstrated his malevolent nature. He's a modern day Caligula.
Don’t forget to increase spending on military and encourage recruitment, in case the whole “mutual respect” thing doesn’t work out. It didn’t work so well for Ukraine did it? The only country he respects is Russia.
Europe has learned that. He’s destroying his own country. Let’s stop pretending.
There's only one way to deal with a bully, and that's not it.
Trump has disrespect Canada and it's people, time and again and has jerked us around, just because he can. Do not retreat into some fantasy that he will change. Forward, faster, and hit harder is the only path with this blight on us.
I keep saying you need a new writer. People's comments are heartfelt and right. Your post is wide of the real point for Canadians. And you won't win an election unless you get that.
Remember, you're actually running for Captain Canada. More so than PM. We get your resumé. Now show us your boxing.
There is no such thing as mutual respect with this US administration.
Hope you have very thick skin, can take a punching, and find a "nice," banker-ish way to punch back. Wry humour that flies over their heads (but we get) would work well.
It's hard when dealing with a malignant narcissistic like Trump. Pain, suffering, and control are what make him tick. He's stupid, irrational, and untrustworthy. Canada needs a strong leader to put as much distance between us as possible so this nonsense never happens again. I hope you're our guy.
orange mussolini doesn't know mutual respect...you need to stand up to him...and you need to think outside the box rather than tariffs...hit americans hard but protect canadians from the cost of retaliatory tariffs
Best option is to start to create your own operating systems, Tech systems etc. Get rid of anything that came from Silicon Valley and make sure that you have enough weapons to defend yourself. Trump only respects "power" and in his mind that power means money and "guns".
Nah man, fuck that. It’s gonna take more than being slightly less dickish, because they found out how shit actually works, before that trust comes back.
Mutual respect? Trump has repeatedly called or PM “Governor “ and used profanity during their phone call today. As for credible commitments - how well did that work with USMCA?
Come on carney mutual respect. Don’t make me laugh. This is a street fight where if the underdog shows any kind of weakness the aggressor will continue. You need to punch Trump right in the teeth with any or all tools in your arsenal. If you are not prepared for that then bow out now
Good.
P.P. Is 10 Ply, will sell us out, and possibly could destroy our own Democracy. His type seem to work together globally now. Kick his ass, or we're cooked too.
For decades, British Columbia let U.S. trucks pass free to Alaska. Now, thanks to Trump’s idiotic trade war, they’re planning to slap tolls on American freight. Higher costs, longer waits, U.S. businesses & customers pay. The bloated buffoon just sabotaged us again.
Even if they remove the threat of tariffs, Canada should be moving towards investing inside the country and in finding more reliable trading partners that aren't threatening us with a hostile takeover and aligning themselves with countries hostile to democracy.

Stand strong - We got the cards
We will hold the line with our communities if you and corporations also stand with us. (Loblaws, I’m looking at you)
We need also need a way to do mutual aide with each other. We all will need extra help at different times.
But please, do not back down.

Pierre would sell us out.
He’s not an option.
Whoever is our PM - any capitulation to the mango menace whatsoever and I’ll be the first person to call for them to be turfed.
This is war. We are fighting autocrats and to quote Ukrainians:
“Russian warship, f**k you. “
It’s our duty to fight their US proxy.

I had this idea that people around the world should send him tiny toy violins. Dual purpose: Nero, and he whines a helluva lot.

That's what Canadians are looking for.
Best we can hope for is Melania pushing him down the stairs.
Elbows Up!
No placating, Trudeau learned that real fast.
Stay firm, stay strong, stay Canadian 🇨🇦

Art of the deal baby.
