Bring nose plugs, he smells bad.

What Mark will have is a country that is united behind him against the USA. It will be a miracle if Americans, on the other hand, aren't shooting at each other by the time those negotiations ever take place.

Imagine the nerve of the Canadian Prime minister being offended that the orange moron keeps talking about the US taking over Canada!!!

The nerve of the Canadians....

Respect is earned with no middle ground. Interestingly enough, the Swiss who are usually stoically neutral have decided to break silence and parade one view on US relations :)

kristkho.bsky.social•21 days ago

I love it!

Do not sit down with him. Ever. Do not give him the photo op. Didn't you see what happened with Zelensky?

Surely discussions can be had without doing a tv show.

midwifek.bsky.social•22 days ago

Zelenskyy was at a distinct disadvantage with language skills (not a criticism, just a fact). Carney will dissect him into thin bloody slices. I suspect that they wouldn't dare televise it.

craigmuth.bsky.social•22 days ago

I think the "when there is respect for Canadian sovereignty" (in regards to DJT) is the polite way of saying that it will be an extremely cold day in Hell before that happens.

pcollirigger.bsky.social•22 days ago

Exactly. He should not have any discussions when this nonsense about 51st state is on the table.

I wish they would all just keep their tariffs on for a while and announce that Donald needs a time out for 60 days.
I’m tired of his bullshit.

Evergreen. NYer

Your caps lock is on.

Yet Carney recommended in December 2024 as chair of the board that a major Canadian business move from Canada to New York because of better economic opportunities under the Trump administration.

potter4ever.bsky.social•22 days ago

interesting to see if Carney (being the old technocrat that he is) can handle Trump. This is almost school teacher-ish "we'll talk when you can behave."

ianrobo.bsky.social•22 days ago

Carney handled Brexit and our people here, Trump is a piece of piss

mrjohnmuller.bsky.social•22 days ago

So, when Hell freezes over, is what I'm hearing.

bucks-county-lib.bsky.social•22 days ago

So, not in the next 4 years.

james156.bsky.social•22 days ago

There is an effort for a third term....

mister-sterling.bsky.social•22 days ago

Being a banker, I suspect Carney will keep in civil and just try to improve trade with Japan and the EU. Canada has the pride, but not the economic endurance to do a full scale trade war against the US. Better to just improve trade elsewhere. Someone needs aluminum cans somewhere!

luc-mtl.bsky.social•21 days ago

They need much more than cans. In fact Europe is about to launch a massive rearmament program, because of the Russian threat, and they will need all the aluminum and steel they can find.

fernmonkey.bsky.social•22 days ago

Does Canada make the really thick aluminium foil like you can get in the USA? Because we don't have that in Europe, and it would be great. I'm still using my giant Kirkland Foodservice roll, and we will be terribly sad when that's gone.

rmtoronto.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yes. Though we call it aluminum so you'd have to change your spelling 😀

fernmonkey.bsky.social•22 days ago

If we get the really good stuff, I promise to call it aluminum.

midwifek.bsky.social•22 days ago

I just listened to an opinion that suggests otherwise -- that the US cannot absorb the tariffs that Trump is slapping on everything, especially with the recession he is now creating. It's not great for Canada but could be disastrous for the US.

mister-sterling.bsky.social•22 days ago

There's debate on this. Canada has a lot of goods to sell to the US because the US isn't a big source of lumber and aluminum. But reciprocal tarrifs by Canada will probably hurt Canada severely.

midwifek.bsky.social•22 days ago

Not saying that we wouldn't suffer but it's not just a matter of goods. It's what we have that you don't. Energy and potash are just two. American agriculture which is already in pretty big trouble will be crippled without potash and Canada has almost the entire global supply - US has none.

iamgriefer7.bsky.social•22 days ago

Saskatchewan merely threatening to put any tariff on potash would send American agriculture into a panic

mister-sterling.bsky.social•22 days ago

Yes, given, I think the US has just two potash facilities (I've seen the one in Utah). My fear is that Trump is doing the tarrif threat and retreat tactic to destabilize Canada. The hope is to make Canadians put in some Q Anon party in power, which would then allow the US to start a slow annexation.

midwifek.bsky.social•22 days ago

Actually Trump has ended up being a gift to Canada in that regard. The Conservatives have dropped 20% in the polls because of their stupid maple MAGA attitudes. Their leader can't sort himself out. We are united in how much we despise and loathe the US. It's deep.

midwifek.bsky.social•22 days ago

People don't appreciate how critical this is. And US agriculture is already in crisis because of avian flu, which is aggravated by their lousy farming practices, some of which are illegal in Canada.

mister-sterling.bsky.social•22 days ago

Ah, so Canada should stop some exports. That would be somewhat effective.

midwifek.bsky.social•22 days ago

The recent spat with Doug Ford is an indication of the importance of energy. Taxes are one thing, but cutting off electricity altogether is something else. I don't know how old you are, but Google the great black out of 1965. And that was only 13 hours. Plus, you know, we are madder than hell.

njtnyp.bsky.social•22 days ago

I suggest leaning hard into the boycott. He can’t “reciprocal” a boycott. Not sure that can have as strong an economic punch as tariffs but we are motivated and I am dying to find out. ELBOWS UP!

tomt2025.bsky.social•22 days ago

Hopefully, with an apology to our Canadian brothers and sisters!

henryhill1.bsky.social•22 days ago

Literally *asking to told what you want to hear of a sociopath. What's wrong with this picture?
