I am almost relieved that this happened in front of cameras for the whole world to witness. No more backrooms, no more facades of reasonableness or bargaining. We now know what side the United States is on, and in whose interests they’re acting. It isn’t their people’s, and it isn’t ours - ThreadSky

Great points and well said.

But it's doubtful to say the least if Trump & sycophants actually reflect US opinion: https://bsky.app/profile/anneapplebaum.bsky.social/post/3ljcipo5b3k2x

I sincerely hope that Canadians are rethinking how much they trust the US. And how much media, cultural, and other imports they want from a country that rewards behavior and priorities like that.

I agree wholeheartedly. The question is who will stand up to that administration?

We, the people, need to see how the sausage is being made, especially now. No more subjective readouts and writing.

Out of NORAD. Five Eyes ➡️ Four Eyes. A new NATO minus the US and Hungary (maybe others) plus others.

Cancel F-35, P-8, AAR contracts, source elsewhere.

Emergency measures (specifically defence procurement) as required.

Cancel Starlink. Shut down X in Canada. Bam Tesla for safety reasons

Cancel Trusted Traveller program. No data on Canadians should be shared with the US.

American military and border security out of Canada.

I agree, though what concerns me is that the Trump team was so proud to show off this exchange on camera. They know their audience will see these same events from a very different perspective than we do, and they are probably cheering it. The power of their alternative reality is terrifying.

This is it exactly.

Exactly

It's also a pretty clear demonstration to some Canadian politicians - ahem - ford - that diplomacy won't work and you can grovel all you want and in return you will only get demands for more groveling.

Absolutely! Trump never looked so weak. And the lickspittle Vance was note-perfect.

And I hope you know that "the United States" no longer means the 75 million who did not vote for this administration.

And we all now know exactly what verbal and emotional abuse looks like which is a total plus! Let’s watch divorce rates skyrocket. “ooooh I knew this wasn’t right…”

They thought it made them look strong, and Zelenskyy looked weak.
I think not.
They looked like fools.
Never apologize, Mr Zelenskyy.
You are not in the wrong.
