Carney: "We can't control the trade policy of the US. We recognize it has fundamentally changed from the policy in the 1980s, 1990s, 2000s, & it's a situation where US has tariffs against every trading partner... what we we can control is developing new partnerships, including w/econ giants of Asia"

God, it is so refreshing to hear a leader talk in complete sentences, be able to articulate the situation without bad mouthing the other side & act like as an adult would be expected to act! Canada, I am so freaking jealous!

What he's not saying and that Trump telegraphed today is that Trump simply wants us to fold, to concede. He's just like his hero Putin. He idea of negotiations or dialogue is when the counter party does exactly as he wants. You can't come to a deal with a pig headed self-centered idiot like that

The “Big Three” make inferior products. They have been coddled over time by the US through various related trade agreements. Now under threat from these superior and cheaper products instead of reinvention they return to the womb hoping for salvation. Capitalism will be unkind to them. #canada

C’est la traduction parfaite et nécessaire que tous les partenaires commerciaux des États-Unis 🇺🇸 devraient se dirent et faire jusqu’à ce que 🇺🇸 aient une administration raisonnable et une personne responsable pour la diriger. En ce moment,nous n’en voyons aucune dans l’entourage de Donald dingue 😜

But of course. New #trade alliances are already emerging across the globe, leaving the US isolated, unwanted (because trade needs reliability and predictability) and ultimately poorer. Good job Donnie.

Trump has ceded American trade for a indefinite time. His tariffs in order to "win" trade drive up prices and limit goods in and out. No one can deal when whims are policy. That means future presidents. Factories don't just appear, and some goods can't be made here. Third world.

Forget about the USA for now. They’re hopelessly stuck with a mad king and feeble Congress that won’t do a damn thing. Overseas is the way to go. At least the other countries have rational leadership while the USA is governed by a troupe of flying monkeys and certified idiots.

The choice is clear. Trump doesn't want to deal til he feels we are at the breaking point. It's the same strategy Putin is using with Ukraine. Putin doesn't want a ceasefire til he's crushed Ukraine. Then he'll talk peace from a position of power. So when Canada is crushed, then DJT will deal.

Canada can't control Trump... or Doug Ford, apparently. With Premiers like that, who needs enemies? DoFo thought he knew best, but he just proves the theory that dunces, fools, cheaters, liars and thugs from high school grew up to be the worst Conservative politicians.

Big tough guy, sitting Premier, extolling the heroic tale of the would be Depot robber he'd beat the crap out of if he ever tried it again. Ontario 🍁MAGA women & men swoon. Ontario lawyers, raise eyebrows. Ontario voters, you lazy asses better get your butts out there to vote next time FFS. 🤦‍♀️🤬😤

in China's dream world they would have been able to 1) separate the US from our European and North American trade partners and then 2) initiate some sort of trade war which we, partnerless, would then lose. That just happened, but Trump did it himself in 100 days. We are in China dream world.

He got less than a third of the electorate. Another third are sane, and the biggest block stayed home on the couch. He would not have been in our lives past 2016 if not for a slavery-era relic in our Constitution called an "electorial college." Also known as "a fucking disgrace."

They meant the United States. Trump has turned the whole world against the United States, with the exception of yes the fascists and the Russians with their little mini-bloc they have going. They're all still chummy.

P.M. Carney is calm, whip-smart, articulate, reasonable, thoughtful and confident. In every way, M.C. is the polar opposite of the buffoon in the WH pretending to represent and lead America while he drives it into a plundered, autocratic ditch.

There's no point dealing with a corrupt dictator who uses tariff as a means of market manipulation to enrich himself and his friends at the expense of everyone else. Wall street sorted that out, coined the TACO moniker, and has moved on, but no one can blame anyone for walking away from the US now.

Instead of capitalizing on what the US had achieved before him, Trump, with his delusions of grandeur and strength, has turned the US into a pariah, enhancing the viability of previously undesirable partners with our former allies.

Clearly Carney understood the assignment when we voted him in. He's playing chess against a chicken with its head cut off, let him crap all over the board while he flails around for his last gasp of life. You can't negotiate in good faith with Teemu Chester.

Carney has been very busy reinforcing/expanding trade with our allies and working toward new trade partnerships across the globe. Many Canadians see the US not as an ally but a threat literally at our doorstep.

Honestly, Americans are unreliable right now. They are feckless and allow a wannabe dictator to do as he pleases with their treasure, lives, and possessions. Going forward, the world will never allow ANY american to lecture them on ANYTHING worthy or valid ever again.

I think the whole north American continent should become one Mexico USA Canada. That would be a very rich and powerfull nation. And yes DJT can continue to be the leader untill his term is up. WHAT DO YOU THINK OF THAT

This free publicity exposing the "emperor has no clothes" when it comes to the devastating effects of tariffs, looks like a stroke of marketing genius by Ontario premier Doug Ford. Trump's batshit denial, is worth way more than Ford's $75M ad campaign in red states. Way to go, Doug!

He did think that, because he's so convinced of his power. He imagines all will bend their knee to him. That may be the case with companies like Google, Amazon, Meta, and the rest, but other countries are a whole different ball game, and Trump doesn't want to think about that.

Trump turned America into one of his failed ventures and as countries around the globe begin looking toward the 22nd century, America will be playing catch up with the 21st. Way to go MAGA, you’ve ruined your children and grand children’s future for generations.

Awe, the orange 🍊 turd 💩 king 🤴 is poopy pants again. 😢😢 I think he needs a diaper change! We, here in Canada, are not swayed by Trumps late night, Adderall fuelled tantrums. Petulant acts like this just accelerate our active search for greater independence from the fascist regime next door!

Good. It shouldn’t be that hard for the G20 countries to figure out trade offsets that would fundamentally eliminate the need to trade with the USA. Like what China did with soybeans. They went elsewhere. Just exclude the US from trade plans. No exports to the US, nothing imported from the US.

Who knew “Make America Great Again” was cover for: “Make China Great Again” 🇨🇳 “Make Russia Great Again” 🇷🇺 “Make Oligarchy Great Again” 🎩 “Make Kleptocracy Great Again” 💰 …well, we Dems knew

Reminder: Tariffs where the job of the GOP House to approve. And they completely abdicated their power to wanna be King Trump. The state of the Economy is THEIR fault, they're cowering cowards, getting paid to stay home and NOT lift a finger to govern. Just run interference to block Epstein Files.

Call me a madcap but why dont we take half of congress members pay checks and ALL of trumps pay and give the money to furloughed and essential employees so they can feed their families and pay the rent, just sayin

While the guy on Pennsylvania Ave rants & raves about commercials, Carney—a real businessman—has quietly been laying the foundation of a new economic framework for Canada. One that recognizes the U.S. for what it is: an unreliable trade partner. Remarkable to watch.

So much winning, it's almost hard to believe. At what point does the majority of population see that the inept, demented clown prince has driven our core allies to create a trade block that excludes the US? Every day donny destroys more of our economic base

Sad and terrified perhaps, BUT, so so sorry? No way am I sorry bc I voted for the RIGHT CANDIDATE BUT BC NO ONE BOUGHT THE ELECTION FOR HER LIKE THEY DID FOR dur fuhrer WE'RE STUCK WITH THIS PATHETIC, DEPRAVED, PERVERTED PEDO. 2547! SOMEBODY BETTER MAKE IT STICK THIS TIME. WE'RE LOSING GROUND.😠

What if "t___p's amerika" someday becomes isolated like Russia, Iran, and North Korea... Some of the world nations might become tired of a rogue nation blasting boats and killing people in international waters and causing global economic chaos...they'll look elsewhere for stable trading partners...

No country is perfect, they all have issues, but at least most of the Asian ones are "trying" yeah they stumble and fumble, but they are making headway more than falling down. Meanwhile the US sticks it thumb up it's ass, runs in circles and fucks over anyone that doesn't reach a wealth threshold.
