It was always going to be that. You can't negotiate or trust who continuously bargains in bad faith and readjusts goalposts. We're not a fucking vassal state!

Dementia is very significantly advanced. A Narcisist liar forcing all minions to believe his own lies transitions to dementia by total absurdity of the lies, and strategy delusions to win anything.

The bad: SAVE voter rigging act where his hick redneck base don't have the airport IDs they would need to vote, to falling for Netanyahu manipulation into a collapsing war

The ugly: Pushing South Korea and Canada away through absurd demands from joining the war (US desperation for SK weapons they are untrained on) to formalizing colonial subjugation before ink is even dry on other concessions.

The pure dementia: 20% toll/tariff on all shipping through SoH. SoH is US territory. "Economic D-day but details come later" against entire world. Blockade certain to destroy economy prior to mid terms in addition to risking more direct alliances with Iran and against the US, and certain to unify Iran to wait for his impeachment.

Repeal Canada's DMCA harmonization.

I’m not an IT person, but there has to be options for at the very least government to move away from Microsoft and google. We surely have IT people here in Canada, make it a national security tie, which it is, and develop our own tools. We need to stop relying on the Americans all together.

And an export tax on potash and oil.

Only the idiots were “mad at Carney”. That was all fake rumours and grandstanding by American media outlets. It was never released about what was in the deal.

Rumour. Let’s not call that news.

He was getting played. Of course they were going to throw in crazy shit at the 11th hour, but Carney should have seen this coming.

Trump needs a deal before the US midterms. Just let the tariffs happen for two months and come back to a deal when Trump's balls have been cut off at the midterms.

I hope so.

Personally, I don't buy the stuff. Never really did. But I love how the Americans get bent out of shape over us not selling it.

Remember that all of the "Carney gonna surrender" newspapers are US owned.

Or is he one of those rare politicians who listens to the people of the country and shifted gears accordingly? While some will suffer and some will despise the lack of a deal, most Canadians are collectively digging in for the long haul in a show of support.

It's not a waste of time. We need to do what we diplomatically can (while making other plans).

Not wrong, but it's hard to ignore the shit flinging apes that have been our most natural trading partner since we share the largest land border on earth.

It is unfortunate to have to spend as much energy as it requires to maintain even a semblance of care for it though

They think we're fucking idiots. The whole US government is corrupt with chronies making billions off chaos, whether it's the middle east or Canada. So every Monday the US has a deal with Iran and by Wednesday they are bombing the straight. We watch gas prices bounce up and down 20 cents a litre daily.

Trump does not want a stable deal with Canada. He didn't want it in his first term, he doesn't want it now.

Or sue Facebook and Xitter out the wazoo like other countries are doing.

Every Canadian institution should be off X.
