@JohnBouras3230 Why are you obsessed with the US? It is weird. And the funny thing is MSM and podcast barely acknowledge y’all’s existence. Neither do most of the US citizens. Other than a small slither of interactions on x.

As Canadians we have more to learn from Europe than anything America can teach us. NAFTA took so much of what was Canadian even hockey the Americans re did it in their own image. Canada turning its back on the US is not a bad thing it means we can redevelop with Europe our own thing.

@rupasubramanya Canadians have rightly or wrongly gotten emotionally invested in all parts of this. The trade deal unemotionally may not serve our natl interests anymore as written. Stands to reason it may change. Avg Americans truly aren't invested or care. Canadians prob differ this way.

@rupasubramanya As an American, is it not possible that someone finally realized that the North American way of free trade impacted us jobs more than you or Mexico and as the dominant economy, is trying to reset it? There are innumerable arguments on how it could have gone, but it's possible.

Amusing to see some Conservative reactions to this piece. Their conclusion, naturally, is that it’s all Canada’s fault, as though the U.S. didn’t begin this tariff war in the first place. What the piece actually shows is Canada trying to defend its auto industry and preserve a rules-based trade framework while negotiating with an administration that views tariffs and uncertainty as leverage, not temporary measures. If Canada made a mistake, it’s perhaps that Joly should have kept her powder dry while Stellantis was cutting jobs in Canada and pushed harder to finalize the deal that was reportedly close. But then again, autos, a hugely important sector for Canada, remained unresolved and were not part of the deal, so not sure if that would have made sense. But the broader conservative reaction online seems to be: Canada shouldn’t protect its industries or workers? What precisely would they have done differently in power?

Diversification sounds great. The problem is execution. You don’t replace the U.S. market with speeches. You need ports, pipelines, LNG capacity, rail capacity, faster approvals, competitive taxes, and buyers who can take Canadian exports at scale. The U.S. is not just “one customer.” It is our closest market, integrated supply chain, energy buyer, auto partner, defence partner, and border reality. Yes, reduce risk. But pretending Brussels, China, or distant markets can quickly replace North America is fantasy economics. Diversification is useful only if Canada first builds the infrastructure and productivity to make it real.

Carney should be talking about the only deal that matters: a hard North American economic and security package. That means tariffs, CUSMA, autos, steel, aluminum, energy, critical minerals, pipelines, agriculture, border security, defence procurement, Arctic security, and guaranteed supply chains. Canada has leverage, but only if we use it. We have oil, gas, potash, uranium, critical minerals, food, ports, rail, manufacturing, and strategic geography. That is not nothing. The problem is Carney keeps acting like the deal is in Europe, when Canada’s real economic spine runs through North America. So the serious deal is simple: Canada gives the U.S. reliable energy, resources, defence cooperation, and secure supply chains. In return, Canada demands tariff relief, market access, investment certainty, and respect inside CUSMA. That is what a prime minister should be doing. Not posing for globalist group photos while Mexico eats our lunch.

@DHSgov @ICEgov Well thats one, such a shame you have got a lot worse at getting "bad guys" under Trump, deporting far more innocent people than criminals. So much less effective and with more violence. You are just so bad at your jobs now.

Last night, @ICEgov conducted a targeted enforcement operation in Brooklyn that resulted in the arrest of Chidozie Wilson Okeke, a criminal illegal alien from Nigeria with previous arrests for ASSAULT AND CRIMINAL DRUG POSSESSION. During his arrest, Okeke refused to comply with officers’ lawful commands to exit the vehicle and weaponized his vehicle to attempt to hit ICE officers. Okeke became physically combative attempting to punch and elbow ICE officers. Our officers followed their training and used the minimum amount of force necessary to make the arrest.    After his arrest, Okeke requested medical assistance, so ICE officers escorted him to Wyckoff Heights Medical Center for a medical evaluation. Okeke remained non-compliant during the medical evaluation throwing himself to the floor and screaming. The medical staff cleared him.   During the medical evaluation, a significant crowd of anti-ICE agitators gathered at the hospital and became violent. The protestors damaged several ICE vehicles and assaulted ICE officers, resulting in minor injuries to the officers. Assaulting law enforcement is a felony and crime   Officers from the New York Police Department responded to the scene and arrested several rioters.

@trainofangels00 Canada and the rest of the global community can no longer rely on the US. Even after Trump is gone the rupture is permanent. There is no going back because the U.S. voters can’t be trusted to vote for a responsible president. Despite knowing his flaws they voted for Trump TWICE.

Sipping my morning coffee and scrolling through the headlines, I couldn’t help but notice an obvious pattern unfolding across the globe—one that feels impossible to ignore. I mean it's been mentioned, but it's so obvious. The entire international community, from countries to business leaders, has grown deeply dissatisfied with the current U.S. administration’s handshake-style trade deals that don't offer any real substance, leaving stability in international markets torn apart. Many prominent and experienced voices admit they don’t understand the reasoning behind these moves beyond a drive for accumulation of leverage, yet the economic damage the U.S. is up against is clear. Canadians have seen this clearly as well, and it highlights just how brilliantly our Prime Minister (no matter how you try to ignore or argue this fact) has guided the country to take a leading role in pushing back with courage and resolve—ESPECIALLY as America’s next-door neighbor and a founding NATO member, while the alliance now, most likely, prepares to continue without the United States. Some American right-wing voices question how that’s even possible, but allies are literally proving it through unity and trust among partners who actually honor commitments, rather than turning their backs. Everything from global economies to fractured alliances and poorly sequenced decisions on issues like Iran comes across almost as 'raw selfishness' dressed up as concern for the world, when we all know it isn’t. Over the past year and a half, this administration has awakened incredible global leadership that was once quiet and understated—leadership now shining brightly from, yes, our glorious Canada, a nation that stands firmly with real allies who trust us as we trust them. We’ve clearly lost one key partner in the process, and REAL Americans surely recognize the damage is lasting; nothing will be the same again, but perhaps that’s the reset the world needed. America may stand alone while the rest of us thrive by turning toward other major powers like China, which LITERALLY prioritizes the stability and predictability that business and progress demand. Sure, critics play the 'communist' card, but everyone knows how capitalist China’s system truly operates—no one can honestly argue otherwise. The world simply wants reliability, and right now that path forward doesn’t run through Washington. Sometimes, alliances fracture. The entire world sees that today. Anyways, this morning's coffee was great. Thanks for reading. 🇨🇦 #CanadaLeads #GlobalStability #TrustAmongAllies #PredictableTrade #WorldMovesForward

What Trump says, the promises he makes, the deals he signs, mean nothing to him when his mind changes. This is an uncomfortable truth for those who irrationally blame Canada for ‘not getting a deal’. The EU had a deal, and Trump is ignoring it to threaten more tariffs. Trump is not a good-faith actor, because he doesn’t believe in offering value for value, but instead believes in taking what another country has and making it his own, while believing that issuing a threat and then ‘offering’ to withhold that threat is a ‘concession.

Ok well, Bloomberg is putting a positive spin on what remains stagnant growth in Canada with this headline. Yesterday both Canada and the U.S. reported their GDP growth. U.S. reported 2.0% growth. Q4 2025 was at 0.5% so that significant growth in the U.S. Canada reported 0.4% GDP growth. And while there is growth vs Q4 2025 (Canada’s economy shrunk in Q4 2025$, the Canadian economy remains relatively stagnant. The Bank of Canada said as much a few days ago. I understand why many Canadians hate Trump, but at the end of the day, he’s doing a better job growing the U.S. economy than Carney is growing the Canadian economy. And when Carney tells Canadians Canada is the 2nd fastest growing economy in the G7, he fails to tell you that it’s because of population growth (the liberals mass immigration over the last 10 years which Canadians are brutally aware of). Business investment in Canada is weak as is labour productivity. So, while the Liberals want a pat on the back for 0.4% GDP growth, it’s just not warranted.
Bloomberg@business

The Canadian economy bounced back in the first quarter after a softer end to 2025, with growth driven by an expansion in goods-producing industries bloomberg.com/news/articles/…

2 Does anyone in the world still buy American? Other than, like, Apple, it is made abroad. 39% used to be Canada and Mexico. I guess that must be a lot less unless Mexico, which was the largest of the two previously, is still buying the same amount? Leaves only 60% previously bought by around 150 other countries with money to buy then. But how many are left now? China, with its $1.8 trillion global surplus, couldn't give a shit whether the US buys or not. Why President Xi didn't bother to answer Trump's calls, threatening him with tariffs? Free trade agreements have been successful drivers of growth around the world. When protectionism was stifling trade. Some countries' goods are a better option than yours for various reasons. Boeing airliners cancelled (China 8,500 gone to Airbus). F-35 jets cancelled; no longer sure if they come with the guaranteed intelligence to operate them. Same with IMARS and Patriot launchers. Not to worry, Trump has 18 trillion (MOUs), not contracts. (Possibly billions, Trump gets a little excited about numbers) If there is anyone with money to buy American in the US. Only takes one lady to stop foreign factory buildings.

@slantchev The main reason for US air bases in Europe should be protection, that is no longer a valid argument. While expelling Americans is not the best IMO, American presence should be strictly economic, VAT exemption, land occupation for free, ... should end. Air bases should be rented.

We have 35,000 troops in Germany. Withdrawing 5,000 is a silly tantrum by a toddler who wants to yell at people without suffering consequences. If you are serious about this, go ahead and close Ramstein. But he won’t because even this idiot understands its importance. But he has to have his tantrum so here we go. The problem with that, however, is that he’s continually undermining trust in the US and this effect will likely persist after he leaves office. Trump doesn’t give a rat’s ass about this because he’s a transactional amoeba with a single brain cell that only has the word ME memorized. So we will be left picking up the wreckage of his shit policies.

@MaalEduardo @RnaudBertrand It hasn't even submitted the trade deal to Congress for approval yet. Not that ratified deals mean anything to Trump since he broke his own USMC deal the moment he got back. It's time to admit he's just an insecure man who likes tariffs because he feels powerful announcing them.

Yet another proof that the US is completely agreement-incapable. It's pretty crazy when you think about it: they made the EU sign a deal that was egregiously one-sided in their favor - basically a colonial treaty - which the EU justified signing by saying it prevented higher tariffs on EU cars. And the US just violated the latter 🤦‍♂️ I'm not holding my breath but hopefully this time - unlike the previous times - Europeans learn this lesson: accommodating the US is literally worse than useless.

Canadians have been steering clear of U.S. trips for more than a year now, and a new report shows it’s not slowing down. Visits south dropped 25 per cent last year and another 32 per cent this March compared with before. Instead, Canadians are happily choosing road trips at home—up 2.5 per cent—and fun overseas getaways, which jumped 9 per cent. Because of the trade war and talk of turning us into the 51st state, many of us feel our once-trusted neighbour just isn’t the same safe, friendly place it used to be. Experts now say that relations will never bounce back to what they were. You can bet plenty of Americans are regretting their votes right now, dealing with problems at home while watching a proud nation to the north lose trust in so much of theirs. We as Canadians are proud to keep our dollars supporting Canada and begin a quiet renewal with allies we actually trust and with new allies we are making. We didn't choose this pivot away from a nation we once knew in a different light, but we are absolutely following through with it. 🇨🇦 #cdnpoli #canada

You’ve pretty much deserted Ukraine, and Europe, while even floating threats toward Canada and Greenland. This week alone, Europe backed a €90 billion loan for Ukraine, while your government waives sanctions on a genocidal aggressor killing civilians daily, and reportedly invites Putin to the G20. Kiss my ass, Hegseth.

The headline says that the costs of Trump’s tantrums are “starting to show”. I don’t think Americans get that for Europeans, the Greenland debacle changed everything. It’s over. No one can trust the US. It’s not because of Trump. It’s because we know your system can’t/ won’t stop him or the next guy after him. And also that there’s enough of you who think it would be ‘cool’ to invade just to rub it in our faces. That’s a good enough reason to never trust you again and make everything far more transactional.
Fareed Zakaria@FareedZakaria

In the United States, President Trump’s periodic insults hurled toward allies get treated as routine tantrums. But in those countries, the accumulation of abuse has reached a tipping point. My latest column: washingtonpost.com/opinions/2026/…
