@KellyDeRidderMP Like it matters, this trade agreement rests on the ego and “ feelings” of a demented felon who starts a war based on whether he had ketchup for his fries this morning. Analyze and discuss whatever you want, if he loses at golf , the trade agreement is toast. Blah, blah, blah..

Canada should be focused on protecting and strengthening CUSMA, not making decisions that put it at risk. Importing 49,000 EVs from China while the U.S. bans them over security concerns doesn’t just raise serious questions, it puts our auto sector and our trade relationship in a tough spot.

@My_Marig0ld @Sean_Speer @FiveWoke Propaganda lol…enjoy the fallout of bad decisions.

@CanuckoftheEast @Sean_Speer @FiveWoke I guess you bought the propaganda - enjoy the results.

Canada’s future isn’t European This week, Prime Minister Carney announced that he’ll soon travel to Europe to attend a major continental summit as its first ever non-European attendee. The trip is occurring against a backdrop of growing discussion about Canada reorienting its trade and security relations towards Europe or even considering some form of formal integration with the European Union. Notwithstanding our ongoing challenges with the Trump administration, the notion that Canada’s future rests with Europe is flawed to say the least. Start with the sociology. Canada isn’t a European country that drifted west. It’s a North American country built, in large part, by people who self-selected out of Europe. They exited rigid class structures, slower growth, and limited opportunity in search of something more dynamic and meritocratic. They were in short North American egalitarians. It’s not a big surprise, then, that over time, Canada has converged far more with the United States than with Europe in its economic structure, labour markets, and entrepreneurial culture. The results are visible in the data: Canada’s per capita income is materially closer to the United States than to the European Union average—and higher than most major European economies. Why would we want to go back? The second problem is economic. Europe’s model of high taxes, heavy regulation, and expansive welfare states has come with trade-offs in growth, investment, and innovation. Over the past two decades, Europe has lagged the U.S. in productivity and technological leadership. There’s a reason the world’s leading technology firms are overwhelmingly American. The same pattern is emerging in artificial intelligence: frontier firms like OpenAI, Anthropic, and Google DeepMind are setting the pace, while Europe has largely positioned itself as a regulatory player—writing rules for technologies it doesn’t lead. Two things can be true at once. President Trump has been belligerent and counterproductive in his approach to Canada. Canadians are right to be angry. But we cannot let emotion cause us to lose who we are. The answer to a difficult American partner isn’t to abandon the North American economic model that has underpinned Canada’s own prosperity. Put bluntly: Canada’s long-term interests lie in growth, openness, and integration, not in retreating toward a slower-growing, more statist European model that’s already failing to deliver wealth and opportunity for its citizens.

@FiveWoke @My_Marig0ld @Sean_Speer A dip shit loser who gets their news from Fox and TikTok makes an asinine comment.

@CanuckoftheEast @My_Marig0ld @Sean_Speer A brainwashed CBC follower boomer weighs in.

@My_Marig0ld @Sean_Speer @FiveWoke Trump has done nothing but shit on Canada & threaten us since he stole the election. Canada is done because apparently your habit of choosing a felon & rapist as your leader is a habit & not an error in judgement. We will not leave ourselves open to your stupidity in the future.

Agree, but with the caveat that Canada has also been a petulant child…uncompromising in its own tariffs and trade protocols, being indifferent to the needs of America to secure its borders and stop the insane flow of fentanyl, and restore some of its industry. In addition, just being smug as hell… booing and over all being a jackass neighbor. Trump is Trump, he won’t be there forever, but we’ve shown the neighbor that has protected and made us economically stable for decades axes that we can’t deal with challenges without running to the arms of some other daddy- like China or the EU. Grow up already. I find it alarming that so many Canadians bought Carneys fear and division propaganda so that he could win the election.

@annie_swede @Sean_Speer @alexbrown17 You might be, I am no “ closet American” and never will be. Speak for yourself, you might be mini-MAGA but that certainly does not describe the Canadians I know. If you’re belligerent in your attitude, that sounds like a you problem.

@Sean_Speer @alexbrown17 Canadians have been belligerent and counterproductive in our attitudes to Americans and the US. We have delusions that we’re superior when in reality we’re an offshoot/annex as we consume more US media, buy more US products than ours. We aren’t European, we’re closet Americans.

@DimitrisSoudas The Achilles heel of the Conservatives is their love for slogans and disinterest in actually helping Canadians. When they are in a position to do anything beneficial, they vote against it.

Le talon d’Achille des libéraux a toujours été l’arrogance et la culture du tout n’est dû. Et lorsqu’ils sont en situation de gouvernement majoritaire, c’est précisément à ce moment-là que cela commence à s’installer.

@Futbollfan @GaullistTory Want to find out a bit about Brookfield and how it’s doing..go look at the returns on the Canada Pension Plan. CPP holds about 80 million dollars in shares. When a Canadian Asset management firm does well so does your Canada Pension. Wake up you idiots. There is no conspiracy.

@GaullistTory Carney has a speaking engagement at a Brookfield function. I’m infinitely more concerned about that.

It’s too easy for the Liberals

@CDSC416 @GaullistTory What rock have you been living under. Both Harper and Poliviere attended WEF conferences, Harper put Canada in a shit deal with China for 31 years before he disappeared into the IDU. Your pride in “ intellectual honesty” should have something to with reality.

@GaullistTory Yes god forbid the conservatives have open discussion with republicans. They should just be like the Liberals & attend the WEF & back room dealings with China.

@sarobertsonca Says the guy who as housing minister never built a home, who lives on the backs of hardworking Canadians, who hasn’t accomplished anything valid in 20 years, who wants to be leader because he can’t do anything else, who is now irrelevant…pointless

POILIEVRE: "If you could just launch a business, produce resources, grow food, build homes, then the Prime Minister and those within his castle walls would be irrelevant ... Want to build a home or a pipeline? Kneel before the King and seek his good graces."

@58ManOfSteel @sarobertsonca It’s actually knickers…he doesn’t care about Polivieres clown show, the Cons are irrelevant.

@sarobertsonca 🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣, what a joke, Carney has his nickers in a knot , never wants to be looked at like he’s being upstaged 🤣🤣🤣

PM Carney on delegation of CPC MPs in Washington: "Our interlocutors in the US are generous people, they're generous with their time, and it's good of them to meet a host of Canadians coming down. But in the end, they know and we know that we're the negotiators."

@CathyPiecat @sarobertsonca 😂😂😂😂😂😂. Good one 😂😂😂😂😂

Pierre Poilievre worked the rooms that decide Canada’s future. He went where the decisions get made. He started in Windsor and crossed into Detroit, the front line of the auto industry. Houston, energy capital of North America. Austin: Direct meetings with state-level leaders and business operators. People who actually influence outcomes. Not a conference room in Brussels. Not a panel in Paris. Actual factories, executives, and state officials. Carney goes where the cameras are. Despite his criticisms of the government, Poilievre refused to speak ill of the Prime Minister while on foreign soil: "Canada has just one Prime Minister." And youtube.com/watch?v=FsH2Fv…

@globeandmail 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂…hilarious. Is this The Onion…oh wait. It’s the Globe and Mail , close enough.

Trump likely among nominees for 2026 Nobel Peace Prize theglobeandmail.com/world/article-…

@Jctidd @Garnet_2203 I voted Liberal because I like something more valid than dumb slogans. The Cons had no fiscal plan. If you don’t think signing MOUs for new trade with countries that don’t vote felons & rapists into power then 🤷‍♀️. The Cons r losing power because of bad leadership.

@CanuckoftheEast @Garnet_2203 So why did you vote for Carney? The guy who could handle Trump who was the right person for the job, what did he get? Are they going down on taxpayers dime ? Carney sure is and he flying all over the world getting nothing. But hold your head up high, he got 5 floor crossers!

So this is Jamil Jivani’s second trip to Washington. It’s still unofficial and we’re just supposed to be okay with that? Who does he think he is? You don’t get to appoint yourself Canada’s backchannel diplomat, fly to Washington, and start meeting with people tied to Donald Trump and JD Vance like you’re representing the country. You’re not. That’s not your role, and it’s not what you were elected to do. And again same question, still no answer: Who is paying for these trips? Because if taxpayers are footing the bill, that’s a problem. If donors or lobbyists are, that’s an even bigger problem. Either way, Canadians didn’t sign up for this. We don’t want Trump politics. We don’t want JD Vance politics. And we don’t want politicians freelancing foreign policy like it’s some personal networking tour. Temu Charlie. cbc.ca/news/politics/… Stay in your lane.

@Jctidd @Garnet_2203 So what tidbit did he bring back last time he did his US tour of the Whitehouse lol…he down there getting directions from his handlers. The mini tour of Canadian universities was a fail, our kids are smart, the whole bible thing in the HOC was a failed joke. Just another grifter

@Garnet_2203 The Liberals have proven they only get floor crosser deals done so sent an adult to try to solve real problems.

@sarobertsonca I think I’ve read this line 35 times now. Poliviere has sent the minions to preach his opinions…no one cares helmet head.

Melissa Lantsman: "It's not really a sovereign wealth fund. In order to have a sovereign wealth fund, you've got to run a surplus. It's actually a debt fund that's going to be paid for by Canadians against their will."

@TheTrut04639288 @GermanyNATO @CanadaNATO @BMI_Bund @Safety_Canada And this is why we keep religion out of government.

@GermanyNATO @CanadaNATO @BMI_Bund @Safety_Canada Canada is lost

Germany and Canada are close #NATO Allies. Today, our two countries signed a Memorandum of Cooperation on emergency management. It will strengthen information-sharing, enhance coordination in times of crisis and support our joint efforts in effective disaster response. #WeAreNATO

@pamela_gorrie @CubeMammal @canadian_royal1 @wealthmoose Fuk off…you’re boring .

@CanuckoftheEast @CubeMammal @canadian_royal1 @wealthmoose Your exaggeration, misunderstanding, misconception and ignorance equals true delusion. It is sad. Please don’t vote. And go enroll in school. You sound like you go to the university of tik tok.

🚨🇨🇦 Canada is playing dirty with trade and the U.S. has had ENOUGH! 🇨🇦🇺🇸 Imagine blocking bulk fruits & veggies over "packaging" excuses while banning U.S. wine from provinces. 🍷 Ambassador Greer is officially DONE retaliation is on the table. This 5-minute deep dive is a total eye-opener. Canada looks incredibly vindictive right now. #TradeWar #Canada #USA #CUSMA #Economy

@patrickbec @atrupar @steffanwatkins Well…I mean you’re American and from Wisconsin..we should definitely take your word for that. Havent your farm bankruptcies increased by 700% in the last year & isn’t your manufacturing taking a big hit from tariffs? Maybe clean up your own house.

If this fool continues with his idiotic approach to the US, the CUSMA (as Canada calls it) trade agreement will not be renewed with Canada in September. It will be US-Mexico only. The damage to Canada will be irreparable. But this damn fool seems to believe his own bullshit propaganda.

Mark Carney: "Many of our former strengths, built on our close ties to the US, have become weaknesses. The US has changed. That's their right. And we're responding ... we're deepening our partnerships with our closest allies, including the EU, the Nordic countries, and Australia."

@dugumr8 @atrupar Likely he won’t but the Americans have a very nasty habit of trading in good government for absolute idiots about once every few years. We need to quit the wild pony ride and reduce our exposure to the craziness. We can trade with them but handing over the keys to the house ..no

@atrupar This man is foolishly dangerous. Geography is destiny and Trump won’t last forever. Take the high road and become the best possible ally/neighbour or at least appear willing. He’s just ruining the country’s prospects and therefore its future.

@pamela_gorrie @CubeMammal @canadian_royal1 @wealthmoose Not your “ bro”. Big words to describe loyalty to my country. I don’t care what u think. Your attempt at intelligent conversation ended with the “r” word. Your opinion that we should remain under the US thumb is ridiculous. Go back to your video games.

@CanuckoftheEast @CubeMammal @canadian_royal1 @wealthmoose Telling someone they don’t deserve their citizenship because of political disagreement is peak emotional tribalism, not a serious argument. You’re an economic retard bro.
