“I am ready to sit down with President Trump at the appropriate time under a position where there is respect for Canadian sovereignty and we are working for a common approach, a much more comprehensive approach for trade,” Carney said.

This is the way. Leaders need to stop entertaining the orange idiot. He’s the shitty kid that breaks stuff to get attention. Trump needs a time out.

I like Iran’s attitude. They said “Whatever. Do what you’re going to do.” and didn’t bother having more of a conversation.

This is what Canada needs to do.

    I’m just hoping the chaos he’s causing internally will take down the USA sooner than he can invade.

      They will not survive a war with Canada. We won’t beat their military in direct combat but the insurgency right next door which can easily cross into their homeland, hit some of their most populous cities, and hide easily in Canadian wilderness, would end way faster than Afghanistan and Vietnam with the same outcome

      Yes there’ll be suffering on both sides, but it’s suicide. I’d rather he accomplishes that another way but fuck it

      There will be a civil war in the US if it happens because way more than half of americans don’t want to invade canada

        I’d like to think so, but seeing how most of the population of the US is very disconnected from and apathetic about politics, current affairs, or anything outside of their personal bubble, I’m not going to rely on that possibility.

          They will pay attention when their prices skyrocket. Other then that they are braindead to anything else. I say, let it happen.

            Maybe, but there’s a good chance that they’ll blame Canada.

              On one hand, more than 50% of Americans read below a 6th grade level so it wouldn’t be surprising if they misattributed the blame. I doubt many would be able to tell you what a tariff is or how it works.

              But on the other, greater than 50% are not pleased with how Trump has handled the economy thus far and the consequences haven’t even hit their wallets yet.

              Americans are extremely disconnected politically but if there’s one thing they care about its the price of gas. If that goes up substantially then they will blame the president.

            Maybe, but who will they direct that anger at?

            Will it be at Trump and his cronies, or will they direct it at whoever they are told is “America’s enemies”?

              Very good point. It depends. The shitty economic situation in the US is directing their anger towards Canada (as the “taking advantage” of the US narrative tracks), it’s doubtful they will direct their ire to the US govt seeing as it has so much support.

                They’re also starting to blame the EU, Mexico and basically everyone except the MAGAt in chief.
