The Canadian government has cancelled their participation in a joint U.S-Canada ribbon cutting ceremony because President Trump has hurt their feelings with a new tariff announcement.
It is the official position of the Canadian government not to join in any collaborative celebration. This comes on the heels of the Premier of British Columbia, David Eby, asking his staff to revoke the Canada statement celebrating America’s 250th Independence Day. Take that Trump! {{harrumph}}
CANADA – A planned joint ceremony on Friday between the U.S. and Canada marking the opening of the Gordie Howe International Bridge has been canceled after President Trump announced a 50 percent tariff on certain Canadian imports, including alcohol and dairy.
“In light of trade action threatened by the United States earlier this week, it would be inappropriate to proceed with a celebratory event between the two countries,” Jenna Ghassabeh, a spokesperson for Canadian Infrastructure Minister Gregor Robertson, said in a statement to the Associated Press.
“We remain committed to opening the bridge on July 27th, and to celebrating this milestone among Canadians on July 24th,” she continued. (read more)
Eh?
Well geez, does the accordion 🪗 player still get paid?
Yea, we noticed how they “helped” with World Cup finals week.
Who wants their participation?
if we were to respond in kind,
perhaps we could throw out the Canadian pro sports teams from competing in U.S. divisions?
buh-bye Montreal Canadiens,Toronto Maple Leafs, Edmonton Oilers, Toronto Blue Jays,
Toronto Raptors, Calgary Flames, Winnipeg Jets, Ottawa Senators, and Vancouver Canucks.
let ’em start their own leagues.
no reciprocity can be, well, reciprocal.😂
This is a bridge to nowhere.
Looking at a map it seems like the access is better.
In about 6 months the US used truck market will explode with used Chevs and GMCs from Canada when their original owners can no longer afford their payments. Here in the NW about 80% of the newer used trucks are out of the Canadian auctions
Interesting information. How can a consumer in the PNW recognize a Canadian used vehicle when shopping? Is there a downside to buying a used vehicle with Canadian miles on it?
Canadian miles are worth about 70% of an American mile. Currently.
There won’t be any miles, just kilometres. /s
I think you would want to make sure the undercarriage had protection added to avoid damage from road salt, but I live in SC so I don’t worry about how that works anymore.
Daughter just bought caddie suv disclosure laws make it so its disclosed where origin of vehicle was made🇺🇸🤠🇺🇸
There is a process to “import” Canadian vehicles. A MPH dash cluster must be installed, replacing the kilometer cluster. The mileage is set to miles instead of kilometers. There is a manufacturer badge, Stellantis, GM, Ford, etc, on the drivers side pillar or drivers door. On that badge you will see a “crown” indicating Canadian and that vehicle was imported into US. IMHO, the new trucks that may show up in US markets are pure..unadulterated..
trash. Buy a older, Southren un rusted truck and rebuild it.
Road salt rust, Pothole suspension problems, French operating manuals, and the Mother of All Backlogs in maintenance and repairs….
Other than that, PRIME MARKET PICKIN’S for ANY uninformed buyer!!! 🙂
This kind of behavior Indicates a lot of weakness in current Canadian leadership.
“It’s my party and I’ll cry if I want to.”
Where is Pollyveer?
Veered to the other side again, I guess!
(I need to look up the correct spelling and pronunciation of his name – I thought he was such a disgrace during the Trucker Strike – what a wimp)
It’s very childish behavior. It could have been a rare moment of positivity between the two nations. Instead, Canada ditches it.
BTW, in my area of Canada and the people I speak to, nobody knows that the Americans built that bridge. And almost all people who comment on Canadian media websites have a distinct hatred for Trump.
I’m taking my ball and going home, oh wait, never mind, keep your ball and I’m still going home.
Canada is still pissed because they lost the hockey game in the Olympics.
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/Jg-AKN8TdDU
Or when in one game, they got beat up…Payback is hell?
Doubly pissed if you include the Dodgers, who happen to be getting congratulated today by Our President at the White House ceremony.
Wahhh.
If they could they would take their bridge and go home. Such childish behavior. Oh wait, sorry, behaviour.
I’ll really start getting scared when they begin to stomp their feet.
The Canadians have said their piece and counted to 10. Harrumph!! 🤣
What a bunch of cry babies.
I can’t open those links, “RC”, but if they are anything like your avatar, I think it’s better that I don’t see them.
BTW, do you really think President Trump is “jealous of Obama”, as your avatar seems to suggest?
Trump should have a huge 4th of July type celebration with fireworks and RWB decorated boats on the river.
There should be American flags displayed to excessive levels so that not one photo is without an American flag.
Socialists hate it when their fantasies are confronted and disrespected–and their subsidies ended.
Truth!!!!
Wah Wah Wah. Grownup leadership of Canada. You did it to yourselves.
Hey Carney, digging your heels in won’t slow the collapse of your economy, eh?
Better hope Trump doesn’t blow the bridge to smithereens
Stop with the negative waves, Moriarity!
Cry us a river. The bridge is already there.
Bridge over river Cry
“Carney…has only got one ball, the other… is in the Albert Hall…”
“Take off, hosers”.
Pathetic
Trump should tell Canada the bridge will remain closed until such time Carney and Ford appear in person to celebrate the opening of the bridge.
Both Canadians must put best smiles of celebration for the bridge to open.
That’s it…
Nooooo, just open the bridge and tell Canada who cares. Canada does not impact what we do but we impact what they do. Ignore them. Like a little kid that wants attention.
Maybe if we name it the “Gordie Howe-Donald Trump Bridge”, they would feel bitter…..er, I mean better.
Yep, that’s one of the below mentioned chinks. 😉
To be serious for a moment, I feel this week has seen the first-ever mild criticism of Carney in the MSM. And I think his blatant lies about the bridge deal were the trigger.
It would indeed be a delicious irony if the bridge named after the inspiration for the Elbows Up campaign that got him “elected”, turns out to be the first crack in the psyop dam that leads to his downfall.
Hey, I can dream… 😉
😂 😂 😂 Interviewer out loud bristling. Too funny 😂
Our Professor has already solved the pussy footing issue of Canadian leadership; that being a 60 day trade moratorium. It would be like the days of Covid with no government assistance. Wonder if this gentleman’s wine is any good?
Carnage can’t risk being asked by the MSM about the lies he told regarding the nature of the deal his canny negotiatiors, Ben Dover and Phil McCavity, made with President Trump.
There have been a couple of chinks 🤣 in his lizard-skin armour this week in the media.
He needs the ash (sorry, dust) to settle for a bit.
EPIC! Are Ben and Phil Canadian first-cousins to Bob and Neal??? Thank you for brightening our overcast (from fire smoke and other Great White North detritus) day, F!!! 🙂
🤦♀️
So they name the bridge after their frozen pond hero then they dis him??
Now that’s some serious butt hurt TDS. Aye.
Hosers!!!
Canadian Fatigue, I think I’m developing a bad case. Northern Wall anyone?
Let Canada continue their ridiculous flailing for all to see…I need the laughs.
Perhaps Trump should tell Carney the bridge will remain closed until his personal financial investment in Canada is greater than his investments in the US! Make him own the decline of Canada with his personal finances.
The correct answer is don’t post CBP agents at the booths.
The Canadians paid for it, let them suffer the consequences of their childish TDS.
These snow Mexicans are so hormonal.
They all sound like candidates for MAID…
Anyone from Geordie Howe era Canadians and Americans are rolling over in their graves for how things are happening now.
No they are not. We dont care.
In addition, the Comedian Government warned that any citizens observed attending the US sponsored event on the 27th, will have their bank accounts frozen under the recently passed “Trumps a Poo-Poo Face Act”.
Comedian Diplomacy taking action to “protect” the people.
“Eh”-holes.
Petty.
Resentment is like drinking poison, wanting the other person to die.
Time to repent Canada, past time.
🙏✝️
I have seen 13 year old mean girls behave better than Canadian leadership.
My guess is that their “hate Trump/elbows up” is the only thing distracting Canadians enough to keep them from gathering up their pitchforks and lanterns and turning on their traitorous leadership.
The Canadians won’t decline tolls from US citizens. Always taking, one-way.
Take your puck and go home Canuckville! Hosers!
Well just send the Chinese over to open it with us. Lol
Such p@s@@@iez
Man the ego / reality checks are few and far between
Its obvious the caliber of Canada’s leadership team is sorely lacking in decision making and statesmanship skills. The country as a whole will take years to undo the damage these baffoons are wreaking on a daily basis.
The tariffs are a consequence of Canada’s own trade policy. The fact is, Canada has much more to worry about than tariffs.
canada is literally the country version of “your not my friend anymore second grader” childish bunch. nanananananna I cant hear you!!! I know you are but what am i lol
Carney is having a sad…
Take your marbles and go home! 😂
When substance is lacking, words become their only product.
Queue up the ‘sad trombone’ for Canaduh –
Nothing that a little South Park can’t put into relief. They’re a bunch of Scott’s.
Mexico is China’s number one market for Chinese cars.
Canaduh will soon be importing them too.
Interesting days! 👊✝️👊
