CNN: If Canada moves away from the US, more towards China in terms of a trading relationship, is that good for the US? KEVIN HASSETT: What is good for the US is getting Canada to start to adhere to their previous agreements and to follow the rule of law ... they've been rude and dismissive

Hassett is the embodiment of our great country speaking from a position of weakness. How could any ally or enemy take him seriously, and since he is speaking for the Administration, our government is seen as weak at the core.

If only they saw the light. It is a marvel that they are dismissive of a nation that has extended a very friendly invitation to be incorporated into this very functional Union of States that loves every one of its citizens and wishes them to be well-fed, prosperous, and healthy.

Is this entire administration so thin skinned that they can’t make a trade deal with a country if they are “rude and dismissive”? Canada is looking out for their own people, unlike this administration. They don’t give a flying f*ck about your feelings!

“What is good for the US is getting Canada to start to adhere to their previous agreements…” You mean like the USMCA which had agreed upon terms and conditions which are subject to review in 2026…? So, tell me….who’s not in compliance….?

Why would Canada adhere to an agreement when the US broke it (which renegotiated during the Trump #1 shitstorm) first? Why, also, would Canada come back to the US, especially with the orange buffoon and sycophant, inc. regime still in place, when China would be more reliable?

Kevin Hassett & your demented convicted felon boss Trump:you may think you control us in Canada but you don't!You're F-DEMENTED if you think we'll bend to the will of a war-mongering CRIMINAL FASCIST RACIST US of Shitholes.Release the Epstein client list & see how often Trump raped children.Losers!

That is the best you can come up with. Well, guess what. I'd be mad, too! The first thing Trump did was to announce stifling tariffs. And they've been getting worse. Also, there is no law requiring Canada to trade with the USA. It doesn't exist. So they can make friends with China all they want.

This Trump administration is responsible for Canada doing more business with China. Trump has screwed up our country's business with everyone due to his stupid tariffs.

I'm old enough to remember when the US government used to function with tact, diplomacy, maturity, and common courtesy towards its allies.... and thus, received the same in kind. Those trusted alliances & partnerships are now permanently lost to the annals of history.

We did drop the digital service tax as a concession as a good faith bargaining maneuver, for all the good it did us considering Trump hits us with disrespect and retaliatory tariffs if he gets big mad. Who knows, maybe we will get another 10% if the Jays win.

Trump didn’t want to take up Carney on a friendly wager about the World Series. Was Trump worried about the precedents set by the US losses at the Ryder Cup & the 4 Nations Hockey Tournament? (I’m not dissing the US teams - both played well) Because Trump only likes winning not losers and suckers.

I’m so sorry that we’ve been rude and dismissive. I suppose we should just get over those threats to our sovereignty and economic warfare our once friendly neighbours started waging against us out of the blue.

Your sarcasm is noted. Trump threatened Canada’s economy and sovereignty with talk of making it the 51st state—then slapped tariffs for “reasons” that kept changing. If he told the truth to begin with, it wouldn’t need to change.

Hassett should take a long look into a mirror before he dares to call anyone rude and dismissive. And while he’s looking, he can practice wiping that smug smirk from his face.

🤣🤣 the USA Admin even whines like russia. USA takes many actions against, using illegitimate reasons .. shocked there is major pushback and substancial $$ moving on and out forever. Then accuse /whine about the other country not bowing down to them . 🤣

Fuck that guy. The DST was cancelled, at the their request, so stop lying. As for Canadian content quotas on OUR airwaves, like it, or leave. And when he said the rule of law wasn't being followed, there are trade arbitration courts for that. It's in the US/CAN deal that Drump signed and then broke.

This is why I listen podcasts. News stations have a set amount of time for an “interview”. Anchors merely ask questions, lets spiders weave and move to next question. No time for real discussion. Tantamount to a TikTok short.

Not even an attempt at an answer. T and his rumpswabs think they control the variables. They don’t. Our prior partners will make other arrangements and all the tantrums in the world won’t stop them or the damage this will cause the American people. It’s all so very stupid.

When our best ally and trading partner turns on us and tries to break our economy to make us agree to annexation (which they have said out loud is the goal), we are most definitely and deliberately rude and dismissive. And we're just getting started.

Good! Trump and the vile Republicans who support this monster deserve all the disdain you’ve got to give them, but Americans who live near the border (as I do) know full well that Canadians are fantastic people and your dismissiveness should scare them. It doesn’t, but it sure should.

So, they made a great deal with China that all Americans will be singing in the streets about! I bet China feels the same way. I have to ask, knowing the way trump lies, does China know about this deal, or is Trump just trying to save face. Did you agree on a deal that would give the US rare earth?

If anyone has been rude and dismissive it's been the Republicans, Trump just added another 10% in tariffs on Canada because someone put an ad on tv, showing Reagan saying that overall, taffics hurt the country that applies them. Trump got his feelings hurt and took a temper tantrum. I hate smile.

Lololol…as America demands Canada bend over and kiss the Dictators ASS! Not likely says Canada! We have a front row seat to the American IMPLOSION! We don’t want any part of America becoming a 3rd world banana republic DICKtatorship NO THANKS!
