    He signed a big trade and defense pact with indonesia and a bilateral trade agreement with mexico, partially cutting the us out of north american trade. he’s only been pm for, like, 8 months.

      Do you think we can go without trading with the US? They can go without us but we cannot go without them it is just not feasible

        I imagine that Russia was Ukraine’s biggest trading partner before 2012. Reducing trade with Russia probably didn’t seem feasible to some ukrainians before the war started.

        The newly authoritarian US is threatening our country. What choice do we have but to reduce trade with them? I know Canada will be much poorer now that we have been betrayed by our former ally, but i would rather be poor than under that shithead’s boot.

          We have the choice to work with the US, go sit down and work out a deal not go fly all over are world and talk shit about the US and Trump. That is what got Trump pissed off at Gov Trudeau. When we are the only country standing with China and not willing to work with our ally and neighbor. Now this picture is from a while ago (months) but it reflects how Carney has been acting during this trade war it does not look good for us standing alone with china.

      Did you actually read the agreement? It leaves Canada in $600M trade deficit. Media loves to skip the details.

        Are you going to demand that you get out of the trade deficit you have with your grocer of choice?

        Why not? Are you to afraid that capitalism would then be replaced with communism? It is important that you understand what Trump is talking about before you echo him.

        Exactly. funny how telling the truth here gets you more down votes than up votes. says a lot about the crowd here. Have you seen the Moose on the Loose Mark Carney Chart it has all his investments and ties to China and just about every thing you could want to know is there, If you have a question check HERE https://x.com/dsimieritsch/status/1968058733449375822
