Canadian Ambassador to the U.S., Kirsten Hillman, appears on CBS Face The Nation to discuss ongoing political and trade relations between Canada and the United States – Video and Transcript below.
During one segment of the interview, Ambassador Hillman is asked about the dissolution of the USMCA (CUSMA) trade agreement, and immediately Hillman falls back upon the same Justin Trudeau position of the government. The U.S. politicians will not allow President Trump to dissolve the USMCA.
“I think that we have to believe that our political leaders are going to be listening to the people in the constituencies for whom that instrument was drawn up, and they’re saying, this is vital to us, do no harm.”
Canada is counting on American political opposition to defend the economic interests of Canada. This is exactly the same position that former Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau espoused in 2017 and 2018.
[Transcript] – So a lot is going on in the relationship between our two countries. We are so deeply integrated here on trade, you buy more from the U.S. than any other country. We have the world’s longest land border. We have shared defense interests through NATO, shared air defense with NORAD. Are we like in the middle of a divorce? Like, how do you describe the relationship?
AMB HILLMAN I- I- we’re not in the middle of a divorce, but we are in the middle of a change. There’s no question about it. I think that we are finding ourselves, quite frankly, in- in a situation where some of the foundations that have governed our relationship for a long time, that you know, integrated supply chains are good, that working together on strategic issues is- are important, that looking out for each other in important ways is- is a number one priority. I think in some quarters, Canadians feel that those foundations are being tested. We will adapt. We will make it through, I have no doubt about that, but it’s yeah, it’s a complicated time.
MARGARET BRENNAN
Well, you know, Canada had agreed to join this Board of Peace that President Trump announced out at Davos, and then overnight Thursday, the president disinvited Canada. Is this kind of public snub interfering in the relationship, and- and what does that indicate to you about what this Board of Peace is that Canada had said it did want to be a part of?
AMB HILLMAN
So we had expressed an interest in the Board of Peace a number of weeks ago, and essentially, a Board of Peace that is seeking to find peace, in particular, in Gaza and stability, is something that Canada was very much supportive of. The- the parameters of that Board of Peace had just really started to come out and- and our government was considering it, but hadn’t- hadn’t really made a decision. But I think that- that honestly, I think that the most important thing to say here, from the perspective of Canada, is that we have always and will always be promoting peace and stability and human rights around the world. We’ll do it with our allies in various fora, at NATO, at the U.N. bilaterally with like minded countries. So we’re not going to change that and- and we will give it our all in- in any fora that- that is available to us.
MARGARET BRENNAN
It- It’s kind of now described as an alternative to the United Nations. Is that something you’re comfortable with?
AMB HILLMAN
Well, we are deep supporters of the United Nations. We feel that it’s, you know, it’s not perfect, no large institution is, but having a place where the whole world can get together and express their views on issues that are important to the globe is vital. And as I say, NATO is vital, and we work with our EU counterparts and EU-Canada, you know, security discussions and in- in various other configurations. So probably all of these different fora are- are essential. The Board of Peace has yet to be fully, I think, understood, and we’ll see- we’ll- we’ll see where that goes, but the outcomes are what matter to Canada.
MARGARET BRENNAN
So your prime minister gave a national address on Thursday, and I understand he denounced authoritarianism and exclusion. He did not mention President Trump by name, but he did rebuke the claim that Trump made at Davos, that Canada lives because of the United States. You’re talking about what people receive at home, everyone has local politics, so when something like that is said, do you fear that this is starting not just a spat, but this is like a generational split between our two countries, like, how are people receiving this at home?
AMB HILLMAN
Look, I think Canadians- Canadians know that Canada lives because of Canadians, because what Canadians do for Canada, and right now, that’s where we’re trying to focus our attention. By doing what- you know, focusing our attention on what we can control as a nation for ourselves and our own economy and our own security and our own relationships around the world. The United States is always going to be a vital partner. Geography, as you said in your opener, 5,500 miles of border, deep ties, millions of Canadians and Americans that work together every day, that- that you know, do research and study and have families across the border so that- that is there, and that is something that I actually think brings strength to the relationship at times where, you know, in other- at other levels, and maybe at the political level, it- it’s more complicated.
MARGARET BRENNAN
It’s very complicated. I mean, it- it’s almost unthinkable that a phrase like authoritarianism and exclusion that that could be thought to be referring to the leader of the president of the United States?
AMB HILLMAN
Well, I think that there are concerns globally for- by our government, that we have institutions and norms, rules that have governed our countries, yours, mine, and all like minded countries for generations that are really being tested, really being tested. And- and I think what matters is how we react in the face of these tests, and for us, for our country, for our prime minister, you know, there are important implications for our country. And he’s- he’s trying to articulate a vision. And I think he is articulating a very strong vision for how we must adapt. And again, it’s- it’s about being pragmatic and principled, and that’s- that’s what we’re going to continue to be.
MARGARET BRENNAN
You have had a long career here in the United States, deeply involved with trade in particular. You helped to negotiate that free trade deal known as USMCA during the first Trump administration. President Trump was asked about it, January 13. He said, I really don’t care in terms of renewing it, there’s no real advantage. We don’t need Canada products here. Is that free trade deal doomed?
AMB HILLMAN
No, it is not doomed. That is my view. All three countries, Canada, the U.S. and Mexico did broad consultations, national consultations, with their business communities in particular, on what- how that agreement works for them. And really without exception, the American comments back were sure we’d like to maybe update this or change this a little bit, but job number one is to do no harm to this agreement, which is the economic foundation of our continental partnership and leads to very important U.S. competitiveness, and Canadian and Mexican competitiveness vis-a-vis other parts of this world. So I think there’s- I think that we have to believe that our political leaders are going to be listening to the people in the constituencies for whom that instrument was drawn up, and they’re saying, this is vital to us, do no harm.
MARGARET BRENNAN
So do you think there’s a bilateral trade deal here? Is that what the Trump administration is going for, rather than the three way deal or–
AMB HILLMAN
I- you know, I think- I- I- we hear- we hear that sometimes, we hear different things. It is important to remember that even within that agreement, there are a lot of bilateral elements, but there is- there are advantages to doing things trilaterally. There’s a lot of supply chain movement that happens between our three countries. And if you, if you break it into two, you could have different rules and disconnects there that are inefficient for business. So we’re driven- look, Canada will be driven by what the best thing to do is, as I say, for the companies and constituencies that are relying on that agreement to create jobs.
MARGARET BRENNAN
Because you heard the commerce secretary say at Davos, you know, globalism isn’t working. I mean, these free trade deals are part of that globalism. And it was just a week ago, your prime minister was in Beijing, and he described Canada’s relationship with China as more predictable than its relationship with the United States. He really meant more predictable than the Trump administration’s United States.
AMB HILLMAN
Look, there’s no question that the last number of months have been unpredictable for us in our relationship with the United States. You know, we have a trade agreement that had us virtually tariff free between our two countries, and now we have very serious tariffs on steel, aluminum, autos, lumber, and that’s causing a lot of challenges within our country. There are people that are losing their jobs. There are industries that are being reoriented, and it’s very difficult. So that is seen as, yes, unpredictable.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But fortress North America had been an idea. I mean, the treasury secretary talked about it, that the United States, Mexico, Canada, we could stand up together, you know, have shared values, and stand up to China. That seems dead, if Canada is really describing a new alliance here with Beijing.
AMB HILLMAN: Well, I think- I think we have to put this in perspective. The- the agreement that we did with China a few weeks ago was a very focused and surgical agreement that was largely, or almost exclusively, designed to de-escalate some tariff escalation that had happened over the past year and a bit. So over the past year and a bit, China had put very punitive tariffs on Canadian agricultural products and fish and seafood, shutting Canadians out from one of their primary markets, if not for some of them, their primary market. And so we went to Beijing to re-establish market access for our farmers and our fishers. It’s exactly what the U.S. administration did in October when they re-established market access for U.S. soy farmers, and in exchange, rolled back some tariffs and fees. So this is a very pragmatic, very focused approach. I think it’s important to put it in context.
MARGARET BRENNAN: But even Ontario’s premier said this is letting Chinese “spy cars” into your country. I think he means electric vehicles that will be cheaply made in China. Are you worried about becoming too beholden to China and its cheap manufacturing?
AMB HILLMAN: No, we’re not, because, we- the- the auto side of this agreement was again to take us back to 2023, we had the importation of vehicles made in China. Many of those were Teslas, as a matter of fact, and we’ve gone back and stuck to the level of 2023 for those imports. So this isn’t a revolutionary new thing. This is really just trying to roll back or de-escalate what had been escalated over the past year and a bit.
MARGARET BRENNAN
Well, the treasury secretary is saying that Albertans are going to have a referendum on succeeding from Canada. He seems to be urging that. What do you make of this–
AMB HILLMAN: Well–
MARGARET BRENNAN: –and comments like that?
AMB HILLMAN: I think it’s important to let Albertans and Canadians manage their own very delicate domestic, you know, politics themselves. I think that that’s probably wise counsel. Having grown up in Alberta, you know, it’s a- it’s a- it’s a province that has lots of strong views about the way in which it interacts with the rest of the country, as do other parts of our nation. And those are important debates to be had, but they’re debates for our country to have within its own citizenry.
MARGARET BRENNAN: It seems to be stirring the pot there a bit, but I want to ask you what your prime minister said at Davos. He got a standing ovation for this speech. He described a ruptured global order, the end of a nice story, and the beginning of a new brutal reality, which he described as a predatory one. Take a listen.
MARK CARNEY, PRIME MINISTER OF CANADA: Stop invoking rules-based international order as though it still functions as advertised. Call it what it is: a system of intensifying great power rivalry, where the most powerful pursue their interests using economic integration as coercion.
[SOUNDS ON TAPE ENDS]
MARGARET BRENNAN: He said, if you’re not at the table, then you’re on the menu. What does this new world order look like?
AMB HILLMAN
Well, that’s a good question. I mean, I think he laid out in his- his discussion, his speech, his- his view of what is happening in our world. And it’s- it’s a world in which rules that governed every player in the globe, every country were maybe not perfectly abided by, as he said, maybe not always exactly exercised as one would hope, but still were sufficient to form the basis of the prosperity, the stability, the predictability that we all used to maximize peace and stability and- and maximize economic reality. So we’re moving away our economic benefits, and we’re moving away from that, and we have to- countries like ours, have to figure out what that means for us. I think that what it does mean for us is that we can’t walk away from our principles. We can’t walk away from our belief in rules that are to be abided by by everyone if they commit to them. But at the same time, we have to be pragmatic and we have to look inward to control what we can within our own economies to be as resilient as we possibly can within our own economies, and part of that means engaging pragmatically with a broad array of countries around the world, in trade agreements, in investment relationships and in partnerships.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Sounds like Canada is picking off our friends.
AMB HILLMAN: You know, I- no, I think Canada is trying to make sure that it is the most resilient it can be for our own benefit.
MARGARET BRENNAN: I’m being told that President Trump posted on social media just a few moments ago that Canada is against the Golden Dome over Greenland and has voted against it to choose to be closer to China. That’s how it was described to me. Yet President Trump had previously talked about Canada participating in this Golden Dome project, which isn’t yet built, but it’s supposed to be missile- layered missile defense, as I understand it. Do you know what he’s talking about, that Canada has rejected being involved?
AMB HILLMAN: No, I’m afraid I don’t, but what I can say about the Golden Dome is this, Canada is- is investing over $80 billion over the next five years in our defens-, in our defense systems, and a big part of that is Arctic defense. And a big part of our Arctic defense investments are something called over-the-horizon radar, which is a system that allows us to see the threats that are coming into the Arctic before they arrive. So that is part- and when we have talked to the president about protecting our hemisphere, we have talked about ways in which our different capabilities can work together so that we have eyes on the region and we cooperate in a way that protects both of our countries.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So the president has described that as Canada wanting to plug in to the system. As you understand it, that’s the better description, your own system that would coordinate?
AMB HILLMAN: Right. Much as we do across all sorts of defense systems, where we’re interoperable. We- we work together. We make our investments that make sense for Canada and defending our territory and defending our sovereignty, but we work with the Americans and- and other allies to maximize the benefits of those.
MARGARET BRENNAN: So in- in short, you do think there needs to be more focus on Arctic defense, but you’re on board to help do that?
AMB HILLMAN: We’re deeply committed to Arctic defense. Absolutely.
MARGARET BRENNAN: I need to ask you about NATO, because you’re also a partner at NATO. The only time that NATO’s Article 5 was ever invoked, and you know this, was after the 9/11 attacks on this country. That collective defense clause, an attack on one is an attack on all, meant that Europe and Canada, they sent troops right alongside American troops on the battlefield in Afghanistan. Here’s what President Trump said.
[SOUND ON TAPE BEGINS]
PRESIDENT DONALD TRUMP: We’ve never needed them. We have never really asked anything of them. You know, they’ll say they sent some troops to Afghanistan, or this or that. And they did. They stayed a little back, little off the front lines.
[SOUNDS ON TAPE ENDS]
MARGARET BRENNAN
He was speaking about all NATO troops. But we did check and about 40,000 Canadians deployed to Afghanistan between 2001 and 2014. 158 were killed, 635 wounded in action. What is a remark like that do to people at home?
AMB HILLMAN: You know, I think what’s most important is that we know what our Canadians have done, and I know that your American armed forces are deeply respectful and deeply appreciative of having stood side by side with Canadians in those very, very treacherous and difficult fights. We know that to be true. They know that to be true, and that’s what matters.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Ambassador, thank you for your time as it wraps up here in Washington.
AMB HILLMAN: Thank you for having me.
MARGARET BRENNAN: Great to have you. We’ll be back in a moment.
The uniparty is a domestic terrorist organization.
I believe we’re now discovering that the UniParty is in International not just domestic territory now.
We been knew..
Well given that our stolen tax dollars are funding the entire planet at this point- in some way, shape or form, yes, it takes quite a global machine to make this all happen and then keep rolling along.
Don’t forget the RNC and the DNC, it’s up to them to select the best players for us to think we elected.
The uni-party & the globalists are just arguing about how much the slaves will cost (slaves AKA the people they are supposed to represent).
Defund Capitol Police!
The UniParty is just birds of a feather! Democrats and RINOs! Trump opened the door to the Conservatives!
We have Criminal Uniparty here. THe FILTHY LIBERALS and Conservative Party. BOTH went Anti Trump during the campaign. Ambassador-“We live in complicated times”…NO WE DON’T.
President Trump asked the idiot King trewdough to Seal the borders, Prosecute Fentanyl severely, and We would have a deal.
Pretty simple. Not for FILTHY MARXISTS.
Now Canada, Eritrea and China are the ones without a deal.
I would gather that he means the Council On Foreign Relations which has both Democrat & Uniparty Republican traitor members. They were the anti-american organization in large part responsible for the economic treason and calamity of “Free Trade”.
Thanks to Wikileaks here is the proof of the power of the Council On Foreign Relations to those who are unaware of their existence or power. They manage the Mockingbird media for the CIA who run it, and corporations along with leading members of both parties, which also exposes the Uniparty fake opposition political system.
Obama Makes First Appearance in Wikileaks, Receives Admin List From Big Banker
Former Wall Street executive played a significant role in choosing key staff members for Obama administration
https://observer.com/2016/10/obama-makes-first-appearance-in-wikileaks-receives-admin-list-from-big-banker/
The New Republic first reported that, on October 6, 2008, Froman sent Podesta an outline of top cabinet positions. “The cabinet list ended up being almost entirely on the money. It correctly identified Eric Holder for the Justice Department, Janet Napolitano for Homeland Security, Robert Gates for Defense, Rahm Emanuel for chief of staff, Peter Orszag for the Office of Management and Budget, Arne Duncan for Education, Eric Shinseki for Veterans Affairs, Kathleen Sebelius for Health and Human Services, Melody Barnes for the Domestic Policy Council, and more,” wrote David Dayen.”

SPIT!!!
Bolshevik Froman is chairman of the “Mastercard Center for Inclusive Growth”. Chosen by Bill Clinton and Obama. Enough said.
Your vote is power for the powerless. Until enough citizens get on the same page and same message, the fraudsters will never be far from control. My money is on that not happening.
I guess you have no faith in the Great Awakening? When We the People get moving in the same direction nothing is impossible. Hae some faith Brother.
Maybe you should look up the American Civil War? Regardless of the side your support might have lay with. How about the Battle of Athens? Look that one up.
So, Communist Chinese money will be going to corrupt Canadian politicians and others there, who will make “campaign contributions” to Communist DEMS and RINOS, who will then try to block President TRUMP’S trade policies, which are intended to…
…MAKE AMERICA GREAT AGAIN and begin a “Golden Age.”
The equation proves that our own corrupt and traitorous politicians are willing to turn America into a Mediocre version of Canada – or worse – in exchange for money.
Standing such politicians up and against a wall, finding them guilty of Treason, and yelling “FIRE!”, is a fate almost too good for them!
It’s getting easy to see this: The Chinese invasion will come from the north using Canada as a proxy.
What’s funny is that Canada thinks it’s doing this using China and China thinks it’s doing this using Canada.
I have previously offered we now have
35005500 mile border with China.I’m sure the ChiComs are looking at Canada’s enormous waterfront presence on that Arctic Sea. Bigger than Greenland and Alaska.
I’m thinking that POTUS has his eye very close on this and WILL ultimately get involved, I believe it’s not if, it’s when.
Canada is going to be in the same exact spot that NATO and the EU are in- what will they do exactly when Trump decides he’s going to take over and get right into this?
It’s a MASSIVE National Security threat..
Satan is doing it using them both.
The thing folks don’t understand is the Chinese don’t need to invade or fire a bullet… all they need to do is just corrupt those in charge. Once that’s done they’re functionally agents of the Communist Chinese Government.
And they’ve been doing that for DECADES, at least, since Kissinger!
Oh and don’t forget the GREATEST TRANSFER of Technology wasn’t done by Industrial Espionage… it was Bill Clinton.
https://www.nytimes.com/1999/05/11/world/clinton-approves-technology-transfer-to-china.html
Don’t leave out Nixon.
That’s a tough one. Because at the time of Nixon, you couldn’t get good Knock Off from China back then as they were knee deep in the Cultural Revolution where Scientists were being Executed.
Where Clinton saw the rapid industrialization and the rise of the Dragon — Clinton knew about it and didn’t care that this was going to haunt the USA.
I guess they will give them the 80 billion and have China build so they can turn it off at will.
China has been infiltrating us through California for decades now….. It is more noticeable as Newscum wrecks the place and they all find refuge in other states.
China has been doing this via Mexico and the cartels too, and the same can be said over on the northern border too- plenty of drugs pour in from that side too.
Kinda implicated big plans with them calling themselves a near artic power despite being more than a thousand miles away from the arctic in mainland China.
It’s easy to say that the Nato/US attack will come from the west using Ukraine as a proxy. What’s funny is that Ukraine thinks it is doing this using Nato/US and NATO/US thinks it is doing this using Ukraine.
Guess XI had enough reason to sack one of his most loyal and trusted comrades as he is worth billions and seizing all of his wealth will be repurposed into paying off all the uniparty stooges to further their stealth of US taxpayer funds for enriching themselves.
I’m following this, it’s very interesting what is going on now in China.
I’ve been very surprised to not see an article about it all here.
Snow Mexicans…
🙄
The world has been enjoying the freebies by latching on for the free ride.
The free ride is over and admission is being charged to play, the end result crying and screaming little brats that demand we continue to pay for everything.
NO MORE!!!
and we’ll see if she is correct. It’s a tossup.
Ottawa is not our problem.
Ottawa is 62 miles from the US Border -so how do you figure this isn’t our problem?
Closer than Iran, Venezuela or Ukraine isn’t it?
The fundamental mistake happened decades ago. When someone thought that the same trade relationships should exist between us and two vastly different countries. Of course, in hindsight it was obvious: “The Panda” was behind them both.
But, in neither case did anyone ask: “What’s in it for Mexico?” “What’s in it for Canada?” Sorry, but your “country” is just a road or a railroad between a seaport and a port-of-entry. It was never more than that, and the so-called “leaders” never asked for more!
I very much like what our recent “National Security Strategy” document said about … negotiation. (If you will: “The Art of the Deal.”) It said that we now expected the nations that we deal with to be placing “their country FIRST!” And we would do the same.
For two or three decades, the governance of Canada and Mexico have not been doing that. Now, at least one of them is whining about the end of something that neither should have ever accepted. What were they thinking? 🤷♂️
What did Dr. Chester Karrass say in those “in-flight magazines,” back when we still had them? “In life, you don’t get what you deserve. You get what you negotiate.” Oh, wait. We now have a President who wrote a few (excellent!) books which said the same thing, too!
No pity for “The Snow Mexicans”. They dealt their own hand and now they get to play it.
I’m buying popcorn to stock up on what the Canukleheads do when all their western provinces leave the Canadian confederation and become independent territories of the USA and then become full blown states thumbing their collective noses at Ottawa.
I’d laugh if history rhymed.
I could see a future where some of those western provinces followed an analogous path to that of Texas. That ended up leading into the Mexican-American war and the US purchasing the southwest from Mexico.
A future where Canada is certain to be quite diminished compared to what it once was.
The liberal party in Canada only exists because the Canadian media never stops telling the living brain donors how bad President Trump is.
Just like US media.
They are provided the same preprinted script every day about orange man bad.
Totally sick of the 40 million people calling themselves Canadian. Plus, I do not want 40 million more whinny entitled brat’s apart of the USA. We have enough of those already.
Ted Cruz is and always will be a Canadian.

This is why the repugnicans will do everything possible to make sure they lose the House and Senate. This is why we must not sit back and let it happen. Remember the repugnicans are just as culpable. Don’t beleive it? I give you the Commonwealth of Virginia…
Sundance,
Despite Alex Krainer’s extremely understated delivery in his video, I strongly suggest that you watch it to understand the larger game being played with respect to our northern borders, and the Europeans’ unending lust for WWIII. Nothing is new under the sun.
Does that British government
psy op issuing gas masks and shipping off children to manipulate popular opinion in the 1930’s remind us of any recent events?
Yes, yes it does.
https://alexkrainer.substack.com/p/appeasement-the-shocking-truth-about
They were funding and creating Hitler all along.
Saying the British are double dealing, perfidious slime is not hyperbole.
This is why Greenland matters, and this is why securing control of all the territory to our North up to the Arctic Ocean is non-negotiable.
Canada has ALWAYS been the Crown’s anti-X to America’s X. Its government has never truly been anything but hostile to liberty.
As for the Germans, I do think freezing their gold stash here might just put a crimp in their ability to finance their evil plots.
“If America shines,the world shines.”
Flip side of that:
“If America falls, the world falls.”
My guess is DeceptiCon Senator Thune will do whatever he can to help Canada and not what helps Americans First!
Glitch expects it from his protege.
Investigate his bank account to get him back on track.
Why hasn’t his past history of showing him waving his little winkie to gullible young female staff members and the subsequent payoffs from the congressional tax funded acct not been made public and force him to exit his position as Senate majority leader? Mitch the bitch is long gone as his protector and will soon join Biden for his daily tapioca flavored Metamucil smoothie cocktail to almost be forgotten by history, why is he still able to blunt all attempts by PDJT 45/47 in making this country strong again?
So is Hillman going to put on a purple dress, two sizes too small, and march to DC to talk to the Uniparty leaders?
This was their game plan on USMCA last time and it pissed Trump off. They are basically a welfare state.
“Canada is counting on American political opposition to defend the economic interests of Canada” – misplaced trust. The only way OUR politicians protect ANYTHING is if they receive BIG $$! They don’t represent “we the people” who elected them; it’s all about big money.
Sounds like they want to become part of America. I mean really, what’s the point in having a canada, completely and totally dependent of the US,, like the brother-in-law living in the backyard
More like the brother in law that sleeps on your couch and drinks your beer.
“but there is- there are advantages to doing things trilaterally. There’s a lot of supply chain movement that happens between our three countries. And if you, if you break it into two, you could have different rules and disconnects there that are inefficient for business.”
Shorter Canada: We don’t build or manufacture anything. Not fair that you do. We should get same for being lazy.
“So the president has described that as Canada wanting to plug in to the system”
“We make our investments that make sense for Canada and defending our territory and defending our sovereignty, but we work with the Americans and other allies to maximize the benefits of those.”
Shorter Canada: We still plan to mooch off of America. We cannot and will not defend anyone against Chinese aggression, and let’s face it, it will be Chinese, not Russian aggression towards US. Yet we will continue to pretend.
Amb. Hillman, ” I think that the most important thing to say here, from the perspective of Canada, is that we have always and will always be promoting peace and stability and human rights around the world.”
…human rights around the world….
So their new BFF CCP (China) is one of the most horrendous in regards to human rights (i.e. thehwyghurs, FalonGong, non-voluntary live human organ harvesting, Mao’s millions murdered and starved) and Canada speaks of human rights as their international interest?
The elites of this world have one international interest and that’s self.
CCP is a beast. They will chew you up and spit you out. Just like radical Izlam. They will wait until you are weak then take you out.
Canadians should wake up and realize their leaders nor their King is looking after their best interests.

And nets..don’t forget the nets they place on all the high risers for their citizens that want to check out. Living hell for the Chinese people..credit score not high enough, sorry, gotta go work in a camp somewhere.
Years ago in Britain we had a particularly useless little car (automobile) called a Hillman Imp.
It could not climb a small hill, could not accommodate a family dog, and rusted away in about 5 years.
Luckily I never owned one.
<could not climb a small hill, could not accommodate a family dog, and rusted away in about 5 years.>
Sounds like Biden 🙂
Long ago when we first started driving one of my pals bought a Healy. It was a POS.
Hey come on man – the old Austin Healey (note misspelling¡) was a much sought after flashy sports car.
Way beyond my pay scale.
I think it is still available
Hahaha… great title, the Canadians are delusional
Amb. Hillman’s job was just to deflect all criticisms, & suggest little else.
China hopes to use Canada as a broker/middleman to ship rare-earths & products into the US, while avoiding closer scrutiny. And the Uniparty will help Canada achieve that.
Probably BC will continue to prosper, but AB & Saskatchewan will still be stuck.
They’ll add a few (mostly self-automated) radar facilities on their northern frontier & ‘call it a day’.
Canada will get some worthless trade facsimile to the USMCA for face-saving purposes.
He’s a Canadian and he says “our … leaders” when referring to US politicians.
When did they start voting in our elections?
Oops. She. One of those handsome women like in Minnesota.
If MB was soft balling her, it didn’t help her in any way.
This lady is so over her head, I’m embarrassed for her, acting like poor Canada has a bullying problem, save us nice people in the United States and oh, no tariffs on us ever, you pinky sweared before !!!!
Canada is in trouble with these incompetent people.
It’s sad but Donald Trump, President of the United States and his team are the only competent adults as usual.
Let’s all just keep praying for them and their loved ones.
Beyond this, if we don’t fix the steal of elections these people rely on to get in office, the world over we, are f-ked in 2028.
We have to get that done.
MB is just one of the Sunday morning tropes for propaganda TV.
Canada is the UK. 🕶️✝️🕶️
at some point this year, Trump is gonna explode on the GOP. They did almost nothing for him in year 1 and they are positioned this year to do even less. I truly believe they will toss the house and maybe even the senate in Nov. It’s all looking that way.
When Trump goes nuclear, I hope it’s not just angry bloviating, but details on how they have been selling out our country and their voters for a couple of generations. He knows full well how treasonous they have been and he has a very big megaphone on social media that Fox News and his internal WH handlers can’t control. He could burn the GOP to the ground if he wanted to. The party cannot be “fixed” so why not go down fighting like a man instead of the normal GOP soy-boy weenie.
Much of the trouble we have in this nation today was created with lotsa help from the GOP and they are working hard to run-out the clock on Trump (again). The whole thing makes me sick.
I have gone through a progression on the people I blame for our current state. Years ago, I blamed the Dems because they’re communists. Then I blamed the media because they ran cover for the communists. Since 2017, I’ve blamed the GOP because they’ve facilitated it with their treachery. Unfortunately, we allowed it which puts a lot of the blame on us. I’m so disgusted by it all.
Platitudes…she said a whole bunch of nothing. She strikes me as the person who wants the center seat in the row boat, and doesn’t want it to leave the dock.
She can talk all she wants but look at how stressed out her face is.
It is beyond maddening to watch a Canadian senior official state that DC legislators will turn on their own country to keep their gravy train from running out. 🤬
Let’s see what develops.
I wonder what would give her the idea that would happen? Wishful thinking or experience from past practice. Sadly, we know the answer which is why I’m leery.
She was very nervous and tripped over her words constantly. No wonder announced this so early, it will take a while to get everyone on board. Canadian politicians seem naive or very stupid. They always want to act equal. Carney is DS and his ego is insulted. Canada almost seems like a 2nd and 3rd rate country. Not the people but the leaders. Sad really. One thing is for sure the Patriots that honor their country, are treated like 3rd rate citizen’s while illegals are welcome. Just like European citizens are treated.

This appearance reminds me of the famous quote from No Country for Old Men regarding “what’s coming”: “What you got ain’t nothin’ new. This country’s hard on people. You can’t stop what’s coming. It ain’t all waiting on you. That’s vanity“. Highlights the inevitability of change.
Do the supposedly “smart people” who bought Paramount and CBS understand that people like me still dont watch their programming because of trifling people like Margret? Berri Weis has done nothing to change the perspective of the american people towards CBS. Be a leader clean house , start over and bring on reporters that dont cry and whine . I dont want to see their anti US approach.
I had to laugh when she actually said canada promotes human rights throughout the world! Lol!
Yeah.
Notice she was careful to NOT say WHICH humans or WHICH rights they promote…….
Most U.S. politicians are self-serving grifters who sell the public’s office to the highest bidder!
For national security reasons, we need to annex Canada. If Greenland is important because of being near the Arctic and towards Russia and China, then the same holds true for Canada.
PNG for her
Looks like Canada needs to learn that President Trump made his living doing deals with contractors. It is what he knows best and it is time our Country finally has a President who has a connection to how our economy works. President Trump likes to say things that sound preposterous and then compromise his negotiations back to what he really needs to get. Ask for the moon so the big slice of cheese you want seems like a great deal for the owner of the moon to accept.
I am tired of Canadians like carney and the libbs trashing our president and people
Canada is hoping Dems and RINOs save them.
Canada controls nothing. They are totally at the mercy of others. They have no plan, no way forward, no agency.
They are watching things happen to them, wondering how they got there.
Just heard an investigation interview about major Chinese money laundering on Prince Edward Island. Millions being laundered and the investigation showed direct links to the CCP. Came from a friend in Canada.
Protection from the US Congress? It is interesting that Americans are seeking the same thing, but not exclusively on tariffs and trade.
Exactly like our libuturd thieves in America. We don’t care what you vote for or the constitution if it gets in the way of what we want to do. We will just disobey and wait you out. We will perfect the cheat and punish our people because we consider our selves above the law and superior. We have even infiltrated the republican party! The playbook!
Canada has one of the highest rates of medically assisted dying (MAID) in the world, with 4.7% of all deaths in 2023 accounted for by MAID, equating to one in every 20 deaths.
This represents a record high, with 15,343 people receiving medical assistance in dying that year—an increase of 15.8% from 2022
I never thought I’d live to see the 50 expand, but we seem to be heading toward 52 states pretty fast!
Winning ad nauseam.
