Only President Trump could get the Canadians to vote for an exit to the USMCA, and he did it brilliantly.
To understand President Trump’s position on Canada, you have to go back to the 2016 election and President Trump’s position on the NAFTA renegotiation. If you did not follow the subsequent USMCA process, this might be the ah-ha moment you need to understand Trump’s strategy.
During the 2016 election President Trump repeatedly said he wanted to renegotiate NAFTA, the North American Free Trade Agreement. Both Canada and Mexico were reluctant to open the trade agreement to revision, but ultimately President Trump had the authority and support from an election victory to do exactly that.
In order to understand the issue, you must remember President Trump, Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross and U.S. Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer each agreed the NAFTA agreement was fraught with problems and was best addressed by scrapping it and creating two seperate bilateral trade agreements. One between the USA and Mexico, and one between the USA and Canada.
In the decades that preceded the 2017 push to redo the trade pact, Canada had restructured their economy to: (1) align with progressive climate change; and (2) take advantage of the NAFTA loophole. The Canadian government did not want to reengage in a new trade agreement.
Canada has deindustrialized much of their manufacturing base to support the ‘environmental’ aspirations of their progressive politicians. Instead, Canada became an importer of component goods where companies then assembled those imports into finished products to enter the U.S. market without tariffs. Working with Chinese manufacturing companies, Canada exploited the NAFTA loophole.
Justin Trudeau was strongly against renegotiating NAFTA, and stated he and Chrystia Freeland would not support reopening the trade agreement. President Trump didn’t care about the position of Canada and was going forward. Trudeau said he would not support it. Trump focused on the first bilateral trade agreement with Mexico.
When the U.S. and Mexico had agreed to terms of the new trade deal and 80% of the agreement was finished, representatives from the U.S. Chamber of Commerce informed Trudeau that his position was weak and if the U.S. and Mexico inked their deal, Canada would be shut out.
The U.S Chamber of Commerce was upset because they were kept out of all the details of the agreement between the U.S. and Mexico. In actuality the U.S CoC was effectively blocked from any participation.
When they went to talk to the Canadians the CoC was warning them about what was likely to happen. NAFTA would end, the U.S. and Mexico would have a bilateral free trade agreement (FTA), and then Trump was likely to turn to Trudeau and say NAFTA is dead, now we need to negotiate a separate deal for U.S-Canada.
Trudeau was told a direct bilateral trade agreement between the U.S and Canada was the worst possible scenario for the Canadian government. Canada would lose access to the NAFTA loophole and Canada’s entire economy was no longer in a position to negotiate against the size of the USA. Trump would win every demand.
Following the warning, Trudeau went to visit Nancy Pelosi to find out if congress was likely to ratify a new bilateral trade agreement between the U.S and Mexico. Pelosi warned Trudeau there was enough political support for the NAFTA elimination from both parties. Yes, the bilateral trade agreement was likely to find support.
Realizing what was about to happen, Prime Minister Trudeau and Chrystia Freeland quickly changed approach and began to request discussions and meetings with USTR Robert Lighthizer. Keep in mind more than 80 to 90% of the agreement was already done by the U.S. and Mexico teams. Both President Andres Manuel Lopez Obrador and President Trump were now openly talking about when it would be finalized and signed.
Nancy Pelosi stepped in to help Canada get back into the agreement by leveraging her Democrats. Trump agreed to let Canada engage, and Lighthizer agreed to hold discussions with Chrystia Freeland on a tri-lateral trade agreement that ultimately became the USMCA.
The key points to remember are: (1) Trump, Ross and Lighthizer would prefer two separate bilateral trade agreements because the U.S. import/export dynamic was entirely different between Mexico and Canada. And because of the loophole issue, (2) a five-year review was put into the finished USMCA trade agreement. The USMCA was signed on November 30, 2018, and came into effect on July 1, 2020.
TIMELINE: The USMCA is now up for review (2025) and renegotiation in 2026!
This timeline is the key to understanding where President Donald Trump stands today. The review and renegotiation is his goal.
President Trump said openly he was going to renegotiate the USMCA, leveraging border security (Mexico) and reciprocity (Canada) within it.
Following the 2024 presidential election, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau traveled to Mar-a-Lago and said if President Trump was to make the Canadian government face reciprocal tariffs, open the USMCA trade agreements to force reciprocity, and/or balance economic relations on non-tariff issues, then Canada would collapse upon itself economically and cease to exist.
In essence, Canada cannot survive as a free and independent north American nation, without receiving all the one-way benefits from the U.S. economy.
To wit, President Trump then said, if Canada cannot survive in a balanced rules environment, including putting together their own military and defenses (which it cannot), then Canada should become the 51st U.S state. It was following this meeting that President Trump started emphasizing this point and shocking everyone in the process.
However, what everyone missed was the strategy Trump began outlining when contrast against the USMCA review and renegotiation window.
Again, Trump doesn’t like the tri-lateral trade agreement. President Trump would rather have two separate bilateral agreements; one for Mexico and one for Canada. Multilateral trade agreements are difficult to manage and police.
How was President Trump going to get Canada to (a) willingly exit the USMCA; and (b) enter a bilateral trade agreement?
The answer was through trade and tariff provocations, while simultaneously hitting Canada with the shock and awe aspect of the 51st state.
The Canadian government and the Canadian people fell for it hook, line and sinker.
Trump’s position on the Canadian election outcome had nothing to do with geopolitical friendships and everything to do with America-First economics. When asked about the election in Canada President Trump said, “I don’t care. I think it’s easier to deal, actually, with a liberal and maybe they’re going to win, but I don’t really care.”
By voting emotionally, the Canadian electorate have fallen into President Trump’s USMCA exit trap. Prime Minister Carney will make the exit much easier. Carney now becomes the target of increased punitive coercion until such a time as the USMCA review is begun, and Canada is forced to a position of renegotiation.
Trump never wanted Canada as a 51st state.
Trump always wanted a U.S-Canada bilateral trade agreement.
Mark Carney said the era of U.S-Canadian economic ties “are officially declared severed.”
Canada has willingly exited the USMCA trade agreement at the perfect time for President Trump.
Why do you think Mexico stayed quiet?
Can you see it now?
Brilliant, ay !
Interesting.
Wow. Just wow.
It all makes sense.
DJT:
“Here’s a one-way ticket to Hades!
Canada:
“We’ll take it! With pleasure!”
Years ago ,whenever Trump would make a public statement I would say to myself,Now I hear what he said but what was he really trying to accomplish, what is he really telling me.
I would question why is he saying these things now. I was fascinated by him.
I couldn’t figure him out. all I knew for sure was that he was a successful person who almost always seemed to prevail in the end.
This man never seems to amaze me and now with the analysis from Sundance Trumps actions are all the more intriguing.
TRUMP IS ABSOLUTELY AMAZING .
Now Canada can be bought for pennies on the dollar…
O Canaduh…
In God We Trust
{All others pay cash}
Trust God
Fear not
We will never buy Canada as a 51st state. Trump knows there are too many liberals, and it would affect our elections. It would be like adding another California.
You should have read the article.
It’s obvious he didn’t read it. Probably just the headline.
Nope. Ontario is Canada’s “California.” Quebec is it’s New York. Absorbing Canada would create 10 – 12 new states and one or two territories.
Just carve out the uber-woke areas in and around Ontario and Quebec. Let the sissy pants join France.
You wrote: “…all I knew for sure was that he (Trump) was a successful person who almost always seemed to prevail in the end.” emphasis added
Trump grew up in NYC, where his father was a builder. Negotiating in that environment was/is a tough business. Between the city, various contractors, suppliers, and the unions, that’s like working in a mine field.
Trump probably learned from watching his father. He learned more when he started his own business. He almost went bankrupt. But he didn’t.
He’s been successful in almost everything he’s done in life. He’s not a slacker; he works hard, and he knows how to negotiate.
Trump is an imperfect man like the rest of us. He has his peccadilloes, but when it comes to business, he gets things done.
Ditto. Thanks for stating the president’s actions are to be watched – but I’m often unable to see the end goal. I’m glad he can-and does !!!
There came a point in time where I decided to take the time to read The Art of the Deal so to figure what “Trump was all about.
I was surprised to find that it wasn’t a do as I say or did to get rich book.
Even though it was in simple terms and short on details I found it to be quite incite full .
It highlighted to me not what specifically what to do to succeed but what the possibilities are and could be.
Not a road map but insight on what the process is and could be.
Much more valuable then the specifics.
I am a self employed business man and have been all my life. Since reading his book I have employed the what could be frame of mind in many instances in my life and can say for sure that it has benefited me greatly.
Now the Master is directing his considerable skills at helping our country in one of its greatest times of need.
One thing I know for sure is that we are in good hands.
I hope his family realizes just how lucked they are to have him In their close orbit.
Brilliant, eh!
Wow.
Another great analysis of President Trump’ trade plans. Very stable genius indeed!
This is pretty cool, pretty advanced, pretty devious analysis!
That’s what I’m talkin aboot!
But Canada hasn’t exited the USMCA agreement . Carney is just saying stupid shit , at the end of the day Canada will not willingly exit USMCA
Sure they will!
Carney is a Globalist and Banker, after all.
Carnage is going in and that means goodbye Canada – now fully owned by WEF/China/crown/EU
They always have been; just hiding it and lying about it.
If you look at the demographic projections, we will be an absolute majority of South Asians. India, being 35 times our size is going to be calling the shots very soon.
And Modi is a good friend of Trump’s. He’ll want an economic future for his expats in the Great White North, so helping Trump re-industrialize Canada may be beneficial to his interests in Canada. But it’s too bad I live so far away from the border now. I would love to go up there skiing at 50% off due to the exchange rate as well as being able to buy hockey equipment at the same 50% off.
It’s so much more complex than size and population. But LEGAL immigration hasn’t ever been a threat to the US. The German immigrants were hated, there Irish were hated, etc. Once people of most backgrounds experience the American dream and true American opportunity they come to love America- unless their goal from the start is to fundamentally change what America is.
He is all that, but not stupid. He will not exit the agreement.
I might have agreed with you about liberals a year ago. Since the election, liberals are leaving me scratching my head on a daily basis. I live in a forever blue state—and will never understand how liberals facing failed policies simply continue plowing on with more of the same. it is truly breathtaking to watch–and the voters follow along ( though I feel strongly that no voter ID means elections are and have been rigged )
Because the demoncrats love money over humanity.
But they mostly love power, and never want to be of genuine service to their fellow man.
Politics are all about getting an emotional response, via media control
At least IMO
Sorry Abigail, but I cannot help being rude, but did you misspell banker?
Pardon, c’est de ma faute; le batard…😉😉😊😊
It’s not nice to call him a wanker so banker will do. One and the same.
I prefer the term bankster.
…a gobalist and a total MERCHANT BANKER!
The Agreement provides that any of the participating countries can withdraw following delivery of six months’ written notice.
Let’s see what happens; it appears that the current Prime Minister will remain as Prime Minister, but with a very small majority so will need to work with the other party to get things done. Strange system, similar to what they do in Europe, so with huge European leanings, it’s possible that Canada will simply follow what the UK says it must do.
Since forever.
👍🏼😉
Bessie,2003, Maquis, Abigail Straight, I sincerely hope that President Trump finally puts the Crown in its place when the USMCA lapses and a bi-lateral agreement is reached.
In addition to reciprocity, border security is absolutely a matter of grave concern north of the border, what with CCP & Canadian army co-training exercises in winter warfare and branch covidian hocus pocus black magic.
Am going to re-listen to a recent presentation by Dr. David Martin in Alberta earlier this year and recommend to all:
https://rumble.com/v6q6rt2-dr-david-martin-calgary.html
To our fellow Treeper to the north, Dan Dale, I commiserate.
He does not have a majority
There is that oath…..https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oath_of_Allegiance_(Canada)
Bingo!
Mark Carney said the era of U.S-Canadian economic ties “are officially declared severed.”
“”Mark Carney said the era of U.S-Canadian economic ties “are officially declared severed.” “”
Canada is going to walk away under Carney.
He’s a WEF Globalist and EU stooge. He’s drawn a line in the sand and thinks President Trump is going to cave rather lose them as trading partners. As pointed out on this site in other articles, Canada has benefited from our relationship more than the US.
They either agree to our terms, if they are really intent on negotiating, or they will get nothing.
You got it!
Mr Carney is like an amateur house painter.
He has painted himself into a corner.
How does he get out?
(Only by agreeing to trade concessions a ‘Canada First’ leader would never do)
Well, the US has all the leverage. With the 5-year review coming up, Trump can either raise the pain on Canada to the point where they willingly exit USMCA and enter into a separate bilateral agreement that has a little less pain in the terms. PM Carney will find out that the EU talks a good game, but won’t lift a finger to aid his country, but instead will commit to endless rounds of meetings and conferences and issuances of multiple position papers.
I find no glee in the suffering of the Canadian people. Their truckers and farmers did more than ours did to fight back.
It is only through the grace of God Kamala is not president.
It is up for renegotiation – expires in 2025 for a 2026 new deal.
Our president is “all about the bizniz.”
He is America First.
This includes America Bizniz First!
🇺🇲🥇🏆
Bingo Bango Bongo!!!
And we are HERE!!
🤠😂😄
Thanks Sundance.
I did see it and it makes perfect sense.
President Trump knows what he is doing and we all know why he is doing it.
No one can push the Lib’s (US & Canadian) buttons, like DJT can. He has had them spitting and sputtering for almost the entirety of the past one hundred days. He has, indeed, mastered the art like no other!
One of the most hysterical things to watch lately, has been the reaction to DJT floating the idea of running for a third term. The Libs have been apoplectic on a level never before seen!!!
“If your opponent is of choleric temper, seek to irritate him. Pretend to be weak, that he may grow arrogant.“
Sun tzu/PJT
Every bar/street fighter knows, in the run up to a fight, you say things to infuriate your opponent, because somebody fighting mad, doesn’t block, throw punches with proper form and force, etc.
If you can keep your head, while they lose theirs, you will win, even against a bigger, stronger opponent.
Very well put D’man – very well put.
Is that what Kipling meant?
/s 🤣
Sun Tzu is coming to your border now. The hunt is on, time to dismember Canada.
I’m almost out of popcorn!
Funny they didn’t seem to object when bammy kept saying that.
Seeing as how the mere contemplation of adding Canada as our 51st state has sent them on their merry way economically, as was our President’s plan, floating the idea of a third term NOW can be viewed through a similar logic.
The mere thought of a *perpetual* MAGA president may be just what the doctor ordered to ensure free and FAIR elections from now on! Will leftists now be forced to argue in favor of -gasp- the peaceful transition of power as guaranteed under the US Constitution?
President Trump may just make Americans out of these jackasses yet! Lol
Here ya go; Libs cheering on their VICTORY in Canada! Yippee-Skippee!!
https://www.bbc.com/news/live/cr5d13e4r2rt
Mark Carney led the Liberals to victory in Canada’s recent election
So the Canadians elected someone worse than Trudeau to spite Trump?
Reminds me of that “Jump Against Trump!” meme.
They sure showed us!
😇
BTW – TY for pointing out my posting mistake the other day. I won’t be doing that again! 🙂
Happy to help!
Done it myself once or thrice.
No, they did not. 45% of our population are temporary workers or first generation born here. French isn’t our second official language now. It’s Hindi.
Yes, and as I have said many times Canadians are stupid. This election proves I have been correct for decades.
If your enemy is making a mistake, don’t interrupt.
The Canadian people are not the enemy, the WEF globalists are the enemy. It is easier to do what needs to be done with an openly hostile WEF bankster like Carney than it is with someone who is less open and pretends to be an ally.
A rather pyrrhic victory.
I have one question. If the USMCA has a 5 year review window and was activated on July 1, 2020, why isn’t it up for review this year instead of next year? Is it the new math or something?
Chapter 34 of the USMCA, titled “Final Provisions,” establishes that the Free Trade Commission must meet every six years or less to conduct a joint review of the operation of the Agreement.
Since USMCA took effect on July 1, 2020, the first mandatory review is set for July 2026.
https://www.stratego-st.com/newsletters/renegotiation-of-usmca-in-2026-key-aspects/
Ooooooo….
Just in time for the most Fantabulous July Fourth Celebration of our Republic…our 250th…with the Greatest of All Times President Donald John Trump in the White House overseeing the celebrations.
I’d say there’s something almost divinely ironic about the timing.
Some of us believe that pdjt is leading us in a second American Revolution to free ourselves of the monetary edomites much of which is based in londonstan. It’s why I brought up pdjt at Morristown nj for that reason. Regards Bet
But, but Carney is so smart. He didn’t even live in Canada. Leftists are so smug and arrogant but they don’t know what they don’t know.
The shit head carries three passports, that is what Canadians voted for an a-hole with three passports.
he really is evil. watch his crack down on canadians as they start to starve.
And he won’t even have to buy a house!! The PM gets one buckshee!!!!
How many did Obama have?
“We want a leader who refuses to live with us!”
Maybe for their next election they will require whoever’s chosen Must not carry a Canadian Passport.
That’ll show ‘em!
The 51st G7 Summit scheduled 15-17 June 2025 in Kananaskis, Alberta Canada ought to be interesting show as PDJT (and his team) takes charge.
About time someone stopped the cheating by the Eurotrash.
They are not only represented by individual countries (UK, France, Germany, Italy) but also with their Union (two reps).
In which case, why not also have Texas, Florida, NY and Kalifornicators in there as well? Their economies are larger than many of those.
Either individual states, or their union. Not both.
I’ve been to Kananaskis – so beautiful! You might turn around and find you’re face to face with a moose or see a bear on the golf course.
and that’s why i was so hoping the 51st state thing was real.😁
less a couple of urban areas, Canada is like one big scenic, national park!
Brilliant!
glad Trumps on our side
This really is complicated business – and what a gift that, as odd as it sounds, that President Trump is now in office again, during the review and renegotiating phase of the USMCA.
Future economic historians will marvel at this real fundamental change of world economic balances brought about by a very stable genius that mastered the art of patience to bring about his vision for making America great again by bringing her back to her foundational principles.
Amazing.
I really do feel he was prepared by God to lead and to save our nation.
There is a 2026 review built into USMCA agreement.
This was always there. Trump negotiated NAFTA into USMCA in his first term.
So next year it was up for re-negotiation regardless.
https://www.whitecase.com/insight-alert/north-america-prepares-2026-usmca-review-and-potential-renegotiation
Whether Justin Trudeau or who comes next wanted or not wanted renegotiation.. not that relevant.
When USMCA was negotiated Mexico and Canada could have had the opinion that whomever US admin they would be dealing with in 2026 would be more favorable to negotiations.
Only then Trump got a second term and couldn’t wait till 2026 and used tarrifs to force.
25% auto tariffs and flat tariffs.
But as we know that was not enough, and Trump admin (for whatever reason) decided to start trade fight across the globe to 160+ countries (happy liberation day!), an action that was rolled back after 1 week because it produced some critical metrics out of the US bond / debt market.
So now trade war is dialled back to a respecful level of Trump admin having to conclude 8 tradedeals to 8 separate countries, each week.
(Note a trade deal usually takes months if not years to negotiate a single trade deal)
Fun times.
“Note it usually takes months if not years to negotiate a single trade deal.”
You touting your trade deal experience here , Bob?
Just curious.
Abigail, you could have done a search in the same time 🙂
I am not asking you to go on a limb and trust my personal expertise, but to trust the real world facts.
https://www.piie.com/blogs/trade-and-investment-policy-watch/how-long-does-it-take-conclude-trade-agreement-us
18 months on average for TTP.. Ouch.
Wow!
President Trump really gets under your skin, doesn’t he.
😂😂😉😉
It’s reality and facts, nothing personal. I wouldn’t dare 🙂
I would type the same thing regardless of political party affiliation.
Something doesn’t become a better or worse plan depending on the coat of paint on it.
Need to have the objectivity to call it out or at least discuss.
You are free to submit your own facts about full trade agreement being completed in 1 week (you asked about it) and I will gladly adjust my opinion. I am happy to be proven wrong.
You do you Bob.
I am having fun watching the GOAT doing what he does best.😂😉
Your clock, and whoever said a Trade deal typically takes 18 months, haven’t got your clicks reset to Trump time.
Given the set up, the positioning PDJT has established, the Countries submit their proposal, our U.S. Trade team redlines it, crossing out what they don’t want, putting in what they do, then sends it back with a “take it, or leave it and we will just set an across the board tariff on all your products, sorry but we don’t have the time to haggle.”
And, they probably have several sections they include in every agreement, such as no trans-shipping, etc. to enable other countries to avoid their tariffs.
A week per country is perfectly reasonable, if the U.S. Negotiators aren’t holding kout for bribes..
what would speed up trade negotiations? starvation.
It’s not that you aren’t reasonable in presentation of your points, but there’s “in Trump time”, and everyone else. I’m not there, you aren’t there, I don’t know how well these deals are being made until they are made and trade resumes. I’m willing to say I don’t know, but what we had wasn’t working. You come across like the libs, that Trump is blowing up the norms, this just isn’t how it’s done! Well, we voted to do things differently because “The Way” wasn’t working.
You know what I learned from COVID? Most people don’t have a clue what they are talking about, they’re just emoting. They’ll run off a cliff like lemmings.
Nailed it.
There’s a lot of emotionalism with this particular business.
Almost not fair how easy it was.
What is wrong with you Abigail?
The rules at CTH are that you are suppose to link to the cite or tell us where you found the facts. Telling a reader that she could have found it herself is not taking personal responsibility.
TTP involved 12 countries all vying for their own advantage. Of course it would take longer than a bi-lateral trade agreement.
@Bob-“Free and Fair Trade” is actually a very simple foundation to negotiate from. No time at all to ink that. I think the most time spent will be the US representatives crossing out all of the BS contained in the foreign countries proposal(s).
Sure Bob.
NYC tried for years to build a simple public ice skating rink. The project was a failed boondoggle for years.
Enter Donald Trump..
Presto! Job completed.
Under budget and in record time.
Your comment had lots of words but not much thought.
TDS will do that to you.
Sundance’s excellent article above made me realize 2 different things:
1) The US Chamber of Commerce used to have much more power, constantly meddling in the nation’s economic issues. Trump neutered them.
2) Had President Trump not been cheated in 2020, he would not have been in office for the renegotiation of the USMCA in 2026. Funny how things work out.
Yes, there are so many reasons to thank God for allowing the 2020 election to be stolen.
As well as allowing us to survive it.
Man, that wilderness was DARK.
On the bright side, at least it was only four years and not 40.
What they meant for bad God meant for good.
@ValueTheTruth-The Democrats made a massive strategic mistake putting in Biden. If the Democrats were able to look people in the eye and profess to them that Biden wasn’t mentally incapacitated and then conduct an fraudulent election to put in pudding brains, but wait it gets better, and then destroy anyone who challenged the fraudulent election created a linear set of facts that the citizenry could clearly, without doubt understand. The United States was being dismantled.
This is like hearing Perry Mason explain to the jury how the defendants, Trudeau and Carney, were trying to get away with murder, but the clever plaintiff, Trump, tricked them into confessing their crimes!
Now he’s letting them cop a plea to reduce their sentences…and that’s called a new U.S-Canada bilateral trade agreement!
In detective mysteries, like Poirot, it is called the denouement, when the parties involved are assembled, and are told what happened – and “Who Done It!”
I’ve read them all and love that part and can’t ever figure it out beforehand!
Thanks.
That analysis is akin to saying Hitler was brilliant in getting the Soviets to bring urban renewal to Berlin
Still proud of your liberal vote?
Try harder.
“Try Harder”? It’s too much work. They won’t do it. Appropriate movie quote from Scott Pilgram vs. The World: “It’s h-a-a-a-r-r-r-d-d!” in a whining tone.
.
“To the “economite,” the true believer in economism, sovereignty, independence, industrial primacy, the values of community and country, must be sacrificed, should the gods of globalism so command. Where Abraham lifted his son on an altar of sacrifice at the command of God, the economites put the nation there. To acolytes of the cult, what’s good for GDP is good for America. … To converts to the Church of GDP” mass immigration means more workers, more consumers, bigger markets, a bigger economy. And because it is good for the GDP, it is good for America. Dissidents and skeptics are Luddite enemies of progress.” Pat Buchanan. State of Emergency
This is all well and good. I’m sure 47 will get an extremely favorable deal against Canada. I just hope that Trump makes sure that this time around there is no 6 year review and pull out from the trade deal at least for 20 years. This will prevent a new RINO or DemonRat administration from coming to power in 2028 and going backwards to a tri lateral trade agreement similar to NAFTA.
Barron can handle that one in 20 years.
Tesla Physics will be coming out soon. The Trump family has ties to Tesla. I think the Globull Warming scam was a last chance to try and squeeze more of our wealth out of us by our enemy “elite” Nazis before the real physics comes out and blows the fake Einstein op out
Not sure what an Einstein op out is, but many have gone up against Albert and he is undefeated.
Einstein physics. A fraud.
Tesla.
re: “Tesla Physics will be coming out soon.”
Babble; Accrued by reading ‘pop’ physics articles that have no sound basis for pronouncements.
When ppl post things about Nicola Tesla, they forget about his contemporaries amongst whom he circulated, and whose ideas he used in his demonstrations (the practical applications of same, but today’s Dunning-Krugers don’t know that) … and they forget about ppl like Maxwell, Hertz and Marconi.
UAP patents. Sayonara. Have a very Maga day
Yes! Agreed!
I think the goal, is to so alter things that its highly unlikely a Dem or RINO CAN get in the Oval office again, by completing the destruction of both over the next three years.
I hope the destruction of the RINOS and DemonRats happens over the next 3 years but my fear is that those two groups along with the globalists will come on strong with extreme prejudice and vengeance and retribution against us.
This time around there is Lutnick and Bessent to contribute their two cents worth?
Did anyone else, while reading this, see yet another instance of Divine Providence that we all had to suffer through the stolen 2020 election?
Had the democrats NOT stolen the election and just let Trump finish his deserved 2nd term, they may have won the presidency in 2024 (a strong “may”) and could have put an end to the USMCA in 2025 and renegotiated something else in 2026.
“My thoughts are not your thoughts; my ways are not your ways.” – G_d (insert exact scriptural passage here)
I wonder how differently a separate trade deal with Canada will affect us as compared to USMCA?
Just seems a bit strange to me after POTUS was so proud of replacing NAFTA with USMCA. However I voted for someone way smarter than me so I’ll just wait and see.
I frequently think of this first hand account by a high level businessman who perhaps with some trepidation took some associates with him to make a deal with DJT: https://www.forbes.com/sites/realspin/2016/08/19/the-day-i-went-head-to-head-with-donald-trump/?sh=852745558be7
And Sundance didn’t post this, until AFTER the election results were tallied, …lol.
How many commenters criticised President Trump for helping Carney, over the Canadian Mitt (so no big loss, anyway) Poliviere, when it really had nothing to do with the election.
And, I agree with President Trump, Poliviere would be a p.i.t.a. to deal with, Carney will no doubt be easier.
PP is a grandstander, loves the limelight, and a litigator, loves to argue…
Polly Ver would require coddling.
Marx Carnage can be crushed.
To resounding cheers!
Yep,
A minority government here is a very weak hand and this time around fragile.
Dog meat Singh the NDP scum that propped up the Turds government was crushed, and has stepped down.
The NDP is results hold will no longer have official party status.
The Bloc Québécois will look after Quebec, and they are truly nationalist party. ( for Quebec)
We shall see but my money is on the Bloc exerting immense political pressure on Carnage.
IMO this election has worked out rather well for right of centre folks.
Cheers!
👉Thanks for the insight from Canada 🇨🇦. Your comment is enlightening for I am unable to discern what is going on politically regarding national government and trends in Canada 🇨🇦 👈👌👍.
Thanks. Canada has a history of minority governments.
As a Quebec federal politician stated recently Canada is not really a country.
For example the in province of Alberta every riding has likely gone Conservative.
The entire Province..
Quebec has a majority of parliamentary seats that have voted for secessionists from Canada.
Toronto, Montreal and Vancouver are much like your Democrat shi*holes of Seattle, Portland, and S.F.
Cheers!
Dear Dekester –
Reading your comments today as well as the S/dance article has made me think about this result in a very different light.
In hindsight, the only thing that PP could have even attempted to get passed would have been to defund the CBC and even that had been watered down?
Now, Danielle Smith (Alberta Premier) has less of an impediment to Alberta separating??
These are those “interesting times” we keep hearing about?
Alberta – the 51st state.
The new American Flag 🇺🇸 with 51 stars will be raised July 4, 2027.

Morning Dutch,
As NAFTA was one of the biggest treasons of them all, I truly appreciate PDJT’s adroit maneuvering and setting up these political hacks to fall on their faces while our President continues his new MAGA-American System. I woke up this morning to read this while drinking my coffee and I know I am going to have a great day now! Much appreciation to Sundance and his excellent analysis and writing. Slainte to everyone
It’s a must read every morning!
An excellent recounting of an excellent strategy.
I hate to call attention to the ‘problem with the punch bowl’, but were I the Canadian govt., I’d be looking to China for assistance as much as Europe.
Now that the US has effectively ostracized Canada, I’d expect new deals, new cars from Asia, in exchange for maybe forest products, fishing area grants, petroleum products, and metals.
We worry about China in Panama, Ecuador, Mexico & Peru, but British Columbia- not a problem?
Just this week Trump harangued about fentanyl coming from the Northern border, from Cartel led activities.
Sounds like we better speed up Southern wall construction, before we need a northern one too.
China was already in cahoots with Canada. How do you think their economy was exploiting the NAFTA loophole.
The problem for both China and Canada was/is Trump, upended their dual purposed relationship.
Thus, you might want to go back and look at the recent Canadian investigation that found Chinese companies were paying Canadian politicians during the period where Bejijing and Trudeau needed to figure out a strategy against Trump.
Canada sealed the names of the politicians who are/were involved. They are still in office. Look it up.
Your up there with my favorite populist writers of all time sir. Ty for all you do.
My whole life… I’ve heard it endlessly repeated: “the longest undefended border in the world!” 🌎
As a fact, to be proud of.
Maybe… just maybe… it’s Not such a fact to be proud of.
Maybe it SHOULD be defended.
‘Good fences make good neighbors’.
Maybe we Should be ‘good neighbors’ to
Canada.

Would get us our money’s worth.
And show we ‘mean business’
Way to go Marx Carnage! Lookin’ good buddy, lookin real good.
The Boomers have it coming. They are the generation that welcomed U.S. draft dodgers who didn’t want to go to Vietnam. It was always fashionable to be anti-American in Canadian media and politics, and my high school teachers were enthusiastic lefties. Canada was always making excuses for the Soviet Union. Pierre Trudeau forgave a 260 million dollar loan to Cuba. He was such a fan of Castro. His young wife Margaret just adored Castro. She was a free-love hippie. Justin looks like Castro, but maybe that’s just a coincidence.I could go on, but it looks like big changes will happen. The Boomers won’t be traveling as much to the USA because they won’t be able to afford it. I remember when the Canadian dollar was worth 1.05 U.S. dollars (1974).In 2013, when I bought my made in the USA Ford F150 we were at parity, and a V8 4-wheel drive option was 28,000. I paid 32K for the XTR Package. A new F150 costs anywhere from 75 K to 90K now, and the Liberal leader Carney is all for banning gas engine vehicles by 2035. We are entering a period like Cambodia when Pol Pot had visions of the future. Good luck to us all.
Well said. My parents are early boomers and they stay well away from me as it relates to politics and it always ends up with me talking facts and them with emotion and walk aways to the kitchen to throw dishes around.
The boomer generation in Canada had the best of both worlds and benefited the most in every aspect vs what we are left with today. Post war, didn’t have to worry about anything. The US has our backs.
They are leaving us a bloody mess and raised many a children with similar views.
Yep…here in Greater Vancouver many boomers have unfounded pensions.
Grossly overinflated homes..often mortgage free, or as often looking inherit large sums of money from the “ silent” generation.
Goodness me..we can travel ferries to our gulf islands off the British Columbian coast at no charge.
Working families…they get shafted..
Cheers!
Much of it came from the IC’s Cultural Marxism via Music and TV programming. Operation Mockingbird & their Hippie movement
@Colkitto-“Much of it came from the IC’s Cultural Marxism via Music and TV programming. Operation Mockingbird & their Hippie movement”….?????
Wait a minute. Draft dodging hippies were countering the effects of operation mockingbird. They knew something was not right with the military action in Vietnam. It’s my belief that psychedelics played a significant role in their belief that the “war” was unjust. It turns out that the Gulf of Tonkin incident was a creation by the Navy spooks, the intelligence wing of the navy. A false flag operation by our own Navy in the ocean halfway around the planet to put our troops on the ground halfway around the planet. A small incident on the ocean was justification to put 500,000 troops on the ground halfway around the planet. You got to admit that is ridiculous.. Mockingbird was tasked with convincing the US citizen that isn’t ridiculous among other things.
@homer-Google the name Phil Ferro/Charlie Company. Drafted in 67 with the entire Charlie Company. The only unit to be drafted together, go to boot camp together and fight together. There is a 2 hour National Geographic documentary about Charlie Company. Phil Ferro was one of the 25 who didn’t come back alive. I wish Phil would have been as you say a “Lefty.” He would still be alive but instead our family has to swallow the reality that our Government lied to us and murdered a cherished member of the family.
“The boomers have it coming.” Say that to our family and you will wake up looking at a long line of family that will put you out again and again.
Laurel canyon alumni Jim Morrisons father was the commander for the gulf of Tonkin false flag. The ultimate spook. Sex drugs and rock n roll. Many of the liberal Marxist political puppets are hippies. Hippies were just repackaged Frankfurt school beatniks. They certainly changed America. Tune in tune out. Allot of kids I grew up with have died from the drugs made cool by the ic hippies
I’m a boomer.I got to live here and watch it all. People tend to stick with the political affiliation they acquired when they were young.
Phil Ferro and Colkitto- you are both right.
The IC and Mockingbird were on both sides of the Vietnam debacle, the Pentagon/domino effect war hawks and the antiwar/ hippie protestors. Hegel dialectic. Much of the demonstrations were paid for by Answer(an international communist organization). Much of the rock and roll didn’t emerge from the grassroots it came out of Laurel Canyon where many musicians were related to the IC.
And of course we are all familiar now with the involvement of the IC with the explosion of drugs in the sixties. And then there is MKUltra.
Sirhan Sirhan is a likely product of
MK Ultra or successive iteration. Hinckly too.
Ty sir hegelian dialectics
I am an old woman so not “Sir” but the thought is appreciated.
I know people think I’m a man because “Jazzbogie” sounds like a man. The name actually came from a man in my neighborhood who walked two dogs, Jazz and Bogie. I loved those dog names. I never remember people’s names but always remember their dogs’ names. I am not sure what that says about me.

Oh brillant. Now you share a border with China, Ukraine and India. Gloat all you like. Voting doesn’t matter here anymore. We are finally free.
Condolences to my Canadian friends after the disheartening election result.
Now you can rise from the ashes.
Put the pieces together Treepers. Our President Donald J Trump is a America First genius. “Green New Scam”
“Canada has deindustrialized much of their manufacturing base to support the ‘environmental’ aspirations of their progressive politicians.”
I see that Spain 🇪🇸 had a nation-wide blackout – power disrupted throughout the country, for hours.
Just about a week ago –
Spanish leaders trumpeted 📣 the announcement, that Spanish energy generation would be ‘fossil free’ – all ‘green’.

Nice!
NAFTA was truly a Council On Foreign Relations created economic treason facilitated by CFR members GHW Bush, his stepson ChinaGate Billy Boy Clinton, and the arch-Fabian Speaker Newt.
House Speaker Newt Gingrich Praises Passage of NAFTA (1993)
Important to recall where NAFTAbegan-author of the Contract (to Take Out) for America.
Imo he was the biggest traitor of them all
TG candidate Trump trounced for all-time, Low Energy Jeb !
MAGA Brilliant!!
👊👊🇺🇸🇺🇸❤️❤️🙏🏻🙏🏻
So many things happening that people just can’t grasp them. I had not thought much about that agreement but yes Trump took it apart with help from the very liberals who did not want to change it.
By the way Carney is associated with Brookfield that has moved to America. Does anyone else see a disconnect?
President Donald J Trump’s “MAGA-American System” The Wharton School founder’s economics are America First. Thus PDJT has been well grounded in it from the start. It’s a great article which I have posted before but in case you missed it………………….
“Going back to the Wharton School of Business, Donald Trump is one notable alumni from the prodigious institution. The business school was founded by the industrialist Joseph Wharton for the sole purpose of teaching protectionism to aspiring economists and entrepreneurs. Specifically, he said the school would teach”

Thank you for posting the article :
The Forgotten American System
Enlightened by its content.
Ty sir. Slainte
Highly recommend this assessment.
Covers specific national economic protection well, although believe in a larger context, both Roosevelts were constant interventionists. Both of them interfered in internal American economic issues, greatly expanding bureaucratic government, and were incessant meddlers in foreign affairs. But those are topics not central to the article.
How Colkitto has the time to find as much information as he provides here at the Treehouse amazes me. One of the linchpins of the worthiness of the site.
I am honored. I miss our friend BK who was certainly one of our best posters.
Thank God for President Trump.
This is what Sundance does best,BRAVO.
DJT is the GOAT!
I nominate Sundance for Secretary of State for the United States of America, in perpetuity. excellent article. if you really want to understand how Trump thinks, read ‘the art of the deal’ it is back in print.
By 2027 I would think the Canadian people will be begging to become the 51st state when they realize all their freedoms are gone and their country’s culture has been sold out by the leftists.
I am not a fan of the “4D chess” bragging, but there is a subtle brilliance to Trumps strategies. What amazes me about Trump is his patience and b***s of steel. Canada agreed to a 5 year USMCA review expecting full well Trump would be gone by then, one way or another. Trump agreed and moved on getting most of what he wanted at the time. Now, I’m not saying Trump knew he would be POTUS again in 5 years, but lo-and-behold, he is back behind the Resolute and can re-negotiate his own agreement. Patience, b***s of steel.
Thanks Sundance
Woke up slightly depressed about Canada, now want popcorn for breakfast
Wow,I kept wondering why he was pushing this.
Amazing
Economic mass suicide.
Played em like a Stratovarius.
The Art of the deal! Trump is dealing and planning when others are distracted with optics! And he plays 5d chess when everybody else is playing checkers! It’s actually quite amazing to watch!
pity the so-called legacy media does not have a clue – Sundance you are a treasure
Any new agreement needs to get rid of unlimited renewals on H1Bs from Canada. In fact, it needs to get rid of H1Bs from Canada altogether.
Canada is the hub for a lot of the fraudulent Indian rackets that are doing so much harm to American workers and Americans in general.
