Entirely possible. We’ve seen it before with other countries and now it’s been turned on us. We never should have been so close with the US. Now it’s time to disentangle.

This was obviously discussed ahead of him making that comment in public. There’s no reason Carney as PM should sit down with American invaders if they keep up with that rhetoric. It gives Carney the power to keep making trade agreements all over the world and if the US wants to discuss anything with him, they can fully stop the offensive rhetoric. If they don’t - fine. Carney doesn’t need to meet with them. Trump already tore up CUSMA. Trunp’s signature on agreements is already worthless. Carney has nothing to lose by not meeting with him.

And it will expose them as either invaders or people who can’t be trusted, or both. Either way Canada is under no obligation to negotiate because we have an agreement in place (which trump violated) and so were free to keep making deals with other countries while the US owns itself.

Yes defintely. And I’m here for it. I heard part of a podcast today with someone who had worked with Carney and it was very enlightening. He’s a hard ass. The podcast was the most recent episode of One’s and Tooze and he talks about his experience working with Carney at minute 8 onwards.

Well Trunp has already wiped his ass with CUSMA, and his word / signature is utterly worthless on international documents. Carney should NOT sit down with fascists liars who can’t not lie. Even if Trunp dials down (which he won’t) he’ll just turn around two seconds later and start up again with the 51st obscenity. I agree with Carney icing him out. Fuck the US.

I was being facetious

I am SO down for this. And I firmly believe Canadians need to excise the American invader cultural hegemony from ourselves. The boycott has to extend to digital services and cultural services. I was only signalling that if govt starts outright banning US media, while I personally would be fine with it, it’s likely a very bad sign of things to come (ie, an actual military invasion incoming).

Been off that for years.

Sounds like some annoying reactionary factions in Canada as well

I would view it as an escalation if the govt starts warming us up to getting rid of US media, content and platforms. We shouldn’t be mass importing their media, news, worldview as much as we do normally but now they are invaders - digital boycott is a real thing.

Luckily the US is dismantling the CIA so that’s good news for communism!!!

Yes the Americans stupid plan to “reduce the insurmountable deficit” won’t work. They let their deficit ballon to an unimaginable number then expect the world to pay for it. And they got a moron surrounded by a bunch of other morons to try to address it. They are enriching themselves as they pretend to bring a massive deficit down. This won’t work. Also, screw them, Canada should not bend to them.

I really want a BYD dolphin actually. Would be cool to re-tool all the car part factories that will be empty cause the US companies are leaving - to EVs

He’s highly attuned to the threat to Canada’s sovereignty and I’m sure he did not want to leave at this terrible time for Canada. He at least got to leave on a high note defending Canada and it’s hard to believe Freeland blew up the govt just so she could earn a demotion to Transport Minister.

And before you downvote me for appearing to support Trudeau, I never voted for him and he never should have passed on implementing electoral reform.

The more you platform them the more voice and visibility they get, which ends up drawing support for this 51st nonsense. I don’t care to learn about the ignorant mindset of traitorous pieces of shit. They should stop voting for policies and parties that privilege the rich. But they’re too dumb for even that.

Stop both siding this nonsense.
