"Canadians have a deep loathing for Donald Trump"... It is not the same as Mulroney and Reagan. Are we giving Carney a mandate to negotiate a closer relationship with Trump? Hope not. No Canadian wants to negotiate anything with Trump. Carney has commited Canada to do it. www.cbc.ca/news/world/c...

Trump is insane with power. Annexing Canada, Greenland, Panama Canal, Ukraine and Russia. Its insane. No country should be negotiating with Trump. You are just feeding the insanity. You are playing in his sandbox, building his ego. Every country demeans itself by kneeling before Trump. Don't do it.

X (formerly Twitter) has been sold. Sort of. Musk's AI company called xAI purchased X in an all stock deal. www.msn.com/en-ca/money/...

I don’t consider myself an accelerationist, but the sooner the average American realizes there is no recovery from this and that the United States as they have known it during their lifetime is effectively gone-on both the domestic and world stage-the better.

Translation… the USA is not a reliable trading partner

The hate is real

Canada really isn’t playing games

Yet he got elected. Strange.

Gosh… was it something Trump did? www.cnn.com/2025/03/28/i...

Its like this... Carney meets with Trump. Now we don't really know what was discussed. All I can do is form an impression. But if Trump is happy & PP is happy then I'm not happy. The only way Trump is happy is because he got something he wanted. What did Canada get? The right to exist 4 a few weeks?

We should not be talking to Trump. Trumps only goal is the economic destruction of Canada. That is a bit of a conversation stopper. Anyone that will kneel before Trump will not stand up to him.

How is this not going to be construed as capitulation to Trump? Have a meeting with the enemy of Canada and the enemy thinks it went very well then it went badly for Canada. Trump got what he wanted. Carney cannot win by talking to Trump. It is lose/lose. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Folks... this is what propaganda looks like. Trumps "surge" in popularity is not a surge at all. 45% is actually quite low. Someone with money paid for this. Musk? The other oiligarchs? The survey is fake. The analysis is fake. It is all fake. All paid for. www.msn.com/en-ca/news/p...

IMO Trumps policies had nothing to do with inflation and everything to do with stoking hatred and division. Is so his policies are working exactly as planned.

Sure. And there was the Iran hostage thing too. But that is long long forgotten. It’s a Trump world and it’s not a very nice place.

Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says the relationship Canada had with the United States is now over and I don’t blame him one bit. I’m an American and I’m 100% rooting for Canada. 🇨🇦

Why only 30%? What isn’t it a 90% drop? The first quarter is nearly over. Got to get the job done in the first half. Break Musk you can break Trump.

Musk is a fascist. Musk takes money made from Tesla, Starlink and elsewhere to support fascist movements all over the world, including Trump and the MAGA Republicans. When you buy Tesla and other Musk owned products you are supporting fascism. It’s your choice. Break Musk and you can break Trump.

We talk with people in the States who agree with everything Trump says. They think Canada is going to come to Trump begging Trump to save our Country. They really really dislike Canada. Folks… it is not just Trump although Trump is fanning the hatred.

Personally, I do not think PM Carney should speak with Trump. At best Trump is a liar, his word means nothing. What would anyone hope to gain by talking to a liar. Even if Trump said something would be done it could be reversed in days. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Getting ready for the day.

I made a wee friend. Was actually a little worried I was going to have to hoof it out of there for a moment.

The old relationship Canada had with the United States is over... Does the United States have any friends left? Russia? North Korea? Trump has been President for something like 65 days. Not a single friend left. No allies. World influence in the toilet. www.youtube.com/watch?v=dgjy...

Something Canada could do in response to Trumps auto tariffs is put a tariff on Teslas. That move would be popular with nearly all Canadians and the majority of Americans as well.

Yes, all Canadians want our PM to respond forcefully. What does forcefully mean? A tariff on orange juice? Whiskey? How about Tesla cars? That would be forceful. Musk is the power behind the throne. Hit Musk, you hit Trump.

Tough but fair given the circumstances. 🇨🇦 🇺🇸

Carney: "I respect Trump's goal to support American workers. But I disagree with him that this is how to help. With time, it will become apparently that these actions will end up hurting American workers and American consumers ... our response to these latest tariffs is to fight."

Didn't win the lottery, but..

Truth. Prohibitively hight tariffs stop all trade. No revenue is then collected. Trumps plan to reduce income tax and replace the revenue with tariffs is complete and utter garbage.

Its not just Trump... Its the machine behind Trump. Very true. There is a machine behind Trump. The real power behind the throne. www.cbc.ca/news/canada/...

Our president the moron, ladies and gentlemen.

Isn't that what Trump wanted? A broad renegotiation of NAFTA/USMCA? How is this not a win for Trump? Trump wanted to end the old relationship with Canada, looks like he gets what he wants. No win for Canada here. Whoever our next Prime Minister is we need to know up front how we are going to win.

Make no mistake... Trump and the United States is interfering in Canada's election. Big time. Every day. In every way.

Carney is going to fight Trumps tariffs... In Canada the level of hatred and anger directed against Trump is so high that whatever Carney does it will be seen as not nearly enough. A capitulation. Talking to Trump is a lose/lose situation. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...

Its not easy being Primie Minister... do you speak with Trump or not? I would not. E.g. if Putin threatened to annex Canada do you phone Putin up for a chat? I would not. Trump really has threatened Canada, he is far worse than Putin. At best any conversations need to happen using a third party.
