The current Canadian Prime Minister is genuinely a walking meme of a Canadian Prime Minister parody.
During his remarks to parliament today, Prime Minister Carney waxed gleefully about the U.S. federal trade court ruling against President Trump’s tariffs, just moments before the federal appeals court stayed the opinion of the lower court. It’s a little funny.
PM Carney doesn’t seem to recognize the reality of the economic landscape before him. He complains about blocked access to the U.S. consumer base with a level of entitlement that’s genuinely humorous. Meanwhile, the Canadian economy around him is collapsing. WATCH:
♦ BACKGROUND – 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, in addition to the NATO defense shortfall, 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 and meeting their NATO obligations, 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, in the emotional reaction to Trump’s statements, no-one looked at the core issues outlined by Trudeau that framed President Trump’s opinion.
Representing Canada, Justin Trudeau was not expressing an unwillingness to comply with fairness and reciprocity in trade with the USA, what Trudeau was expressing was an inability to comply.
Quite simply, after decades of shifting priorities, Canada no longer has the internal economic capability to comply with a fair-trade agreement (FTA). Trudeau was not lying, and President Trump understood the argument; hence his 51st state remarks.
This is where it becomes important to understand the core reason why Trump, Ross and Lighthizer (2017) did not structurally want to replace the NAFTA agreement with another trilateral trade deal. Mexico and Canada are completely different as it pertains to trade with the USA. President Trump would rather have two separate bilateral agreements; one for Mexico and one for Canada.
♦ Firstly, Canada is a NATO partner, Mexico is not. As President Trump affirmed to Justin Trudeau during the meeting, it would be unfair of President Trump to discuss NATO funding with the European Union, while Canada is one of the worst offenders. Trump is leveraging favorable trade terms and tariff relief with the EU member states, as a carrot to get them into compliance with the 2.0 to 2.5% spending requirement for their military.
If the NATO member states contribute more to their own defense, the U.S. can pull back spending and save Americans money. However, Canada is currently 26th in NATO funding, spending only 1.37% of their GDP on defense (link).
Canada would have to spend at least another $15 billion/yr on their defense programs in order to reach 2.0%. Justin Trudeau told President Trump that was an impossible goal given the nature of the Canadian political system, and the current size of their economy ($2.25 trillion).
♦ Secondly, over the last 40 years Canada has deindustrialized their economy, Mexico has not. As the progressive political ideology of their politicians took control of Canada policy, the ‘climate change’ agenda and ‘green’ economy became their focus. The dirty industrialized systems were not compliant with the goals of the Canadian policy makers.
The dirty mining sector (coal, coking coal, ore) no longer exists at scale to support self-sufficient manufacturing. The dirty oil refineries do not exist to refine the crude oil they extract. Large industrial heavy industry no longer exists at a scale needed to be self-sufficient. Instead, Canada purchases forged and rolled steel component parts from overseas (mostly China). Making the issue more challenging, Canada doesn’t even have enough people skilled to do the dirty jobs within the heavy manufacturing; they would need a national apprenticeship program. Again, all points raised by Trudeau to explain why bilateral trade compliance was impossible.
♦ Thirdly, the trade between Canada/U. S and Mexico/U. S is entirely different. The main imports from Canada are energy, lumber and raw materials. The main imports from Mexico are agriculture, cars and finished industrial goods. Mexico refines its own oil; Canada ships their oil to the USA for refining. There are obviously some similar products from Mexico and Canada, but for the most part there is a big difference.
♦ Forth, USA banks are allowed to operate in Mexico, but USA banks are not allowed to operate in Canada. USA media organizations are allowed to broadcast in Mexico, but USA media organizations are regulated and not permitted to broadcast in Canada. The Canadian government has strong regulations and restrictions on information and Intellectual Property.
All of these points of difference highlight why a trilateral trade agreement like NAFTA and the USMCA just don’t work out for the USA.
Additionally, if President Trump levies a tariff on Chinese imports, it hits Canada much harder than Mexico because Canada has deindustrialized and now imports from China to assemble into finished goods destined to the USA. In a very direct way Canada is a passthrough for Chinese products. Canada is now more of an assembly economy, not a dirty job manufacturing economy.
When Trudeau outlines the inability of Canada to agree to trade terms, simply because his country no longer has the capability of adhering to those trade terms, a frustrated President Trump says, “then become a state.”
There is no option to remain taking advantage of the USA on this level, and things are only getting worse. Thus, the point of irreconcilable conflict is identified.
Because the Canadian government became so dependent on their role as an assembly economy, they enmeshed with China in a way that made them dependent. The political issues of Chinese influence within Canada are a direct result of this dynamic. In fact, China was the big winner from the outcome of the recent election because all of their investments into Canada are grounded on retaining Liberal government dependency.
If Trump targets China with punitive tariffs, the Canadian economy will be collaterally damaged. Canada will end up paying a tariff rate because they use cheap Chinese component parts in their finished goods. Canada has structurally designed their economy to do this over multiple years.
Understanding the unique nature of the Canadian economic conundrum, the only way to address the issue is to break out the USMCA into two separate bilateral trade agreements. One set of trade terms for Mexico that leverages border security, and one set of trade terms for Canada that leverages NATO security and border security. The only substantive similarity between them will be in the auto and agriculture sector.
If you think the multinational corporations, political leftists and UniParty Republicans in the USA are strongly opposing Trump now, just wait until later this year when the Trump administration proposes the elimination of the trilateral North American trade agreement, USMCA.
According to the World Bank, the USA economy is $27.3 trillion. Canada is $2.1 trillion.
Do the math!
[…] The expectation, according to two people close to the White House, is that negotiations to permanently remove the threat of painful 25 percent tariffs on Canada — which Trump mostly rolled back earlier this month — and other sector-specific tariffs are likely to be folded into the upcoming review of the U.S.-Mexico-Canada Agreement. That review is due in 2026, but the Trump administration wants to accelerate to this calendar year.
“It makes sense to separate out Canada and Mexico from the rest because they are going to want to redo the USMCA,” said one of the people close to the White House, who were granted anonymity to discuss ongoing deliberations. “They’re going to have separate tariffs that focus specifically on Mexico and Canada, and they’re going to take some actions to squeeze them a little bit.” [LINK]
I’ll take Alberta as the 51st state. Canada can keep the rest.
I would take British Colombia. They already speak English, not that Canadian patois of French.
Je me souviens, assholes!
The US may need to take BC just to deal with China’s primary fentanyl port, in Vancouver.
We also need BC because it’s on the way to Alaska. Having to go through Canadian customs each way adds time and cost to shipment of goods.
BC would be land bridge of lower 48 to Alaska!
Alternatively, Alberta, Northwest territories (NWT), Yukon Territory to Alaska would also be land bridge and frontage on Arctic ocean.
Yep. BC is absolutely beautiful minus the ChiComs and Leftarded Drug Zombies. Excellent seafood, wild game and unparalleled snowboarding.
Skiing!
I would agree with you but then we’d both be wrong..
Yea about that, no need to go there for that with all that we have here.
Friends of ours just completed an Alaska cruise terminating in Vancouver. They said the number of drugged out addicts on the streets was appalling; panhandling and other fun encounters; some quite unsettling from a safety perspective.
All toys. Fun and games.
Games and fun.
Snowboarding, lovely restaurants.
Cable tv in the resort room. ..all touristy crap that don’t matter in the long run.
Canada doesn’t manufacture squat.
85% of the geography is locked off by the gay King Charles of England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Canada, and other commonwealth mangled states. Australia for example is a miniature Canada. Ruined.
Unfree. Unexplored, undeveloped, and controlled.
You hopefully read Sundance’s article above.
If not, please go back and do read it.
But BC would be a political nightmare on steroids. 2 lefty Senators and worse.
“85% of the geography is locked off by the gay King Charles of England, Wales, Northern Ireland, Canada, and other commonwealth mangled states. Australia for example is a miniature Canada. Ruined.
Unfree. Unexplored, undeveloped, and controlled.”
Sounds exactly like Alaska.
BC is liberal. You can’t just carve out Vancouver. It’s like California – remove the coastal regions, and it’s fine. Alberta and Saskatchewan are the conservative provinces.
BC is full of Chinese, do we want them?
Do you think the US is not full of Chinese?
Look behind every microscope.
Yes, even ones driving congressional members around and conference in their phone calls with their stock brokers. Wink, wink.
No vetting, in fact a poster child for no vetting. Where was that great FBI that Hannity talks about?
No vetting.
If one really looks you will already think we’ve been taken over e.g. chinese, indians, middle eastern/muslims, south of the boarder peeps, even brits are everywhere and in everything. Am I missing anyone.
We can revoke their Visas too! Paperwork can drop in tandem.
Not without vetting.
Just carve out the vancouver metro area. Whistler, Kamloops, Kelowna, Inzana Lake, the Rockies, alaskan highway are all great
Just deport any unwanteds. They can return to China or go to Canada’s remaining provinces.
Jasper!!!
No. BC is leftist and rife with Chinese.
Vet and deport.
Only if we can deport all the CCP.
British Columbia is mostly Vancouver….and it is a cesspool of drugs, dei, trans, and Chinese money.
No thank you.
Alberta, ok. Saskatchewan and Manitoba, maybe
Be careful what you ask for, the last time that I was in Vancouver I was a distinct minority as a Anglo-European.
IIRC Canada’s NDP party, a leftist party substantially in sync w/ Carney and the Liberal party, rule the roost in BC due to the outsized influence of Vancouver. They’d be a smaller but reliably Dem vote in the Senate I fear.
British Columbia is more left than California take Alberta or Saskatchewan
BC is a California like lefty hell hole.
Yeah, sure a visit to Victoria or Vancouver can provide some idyllic weekends, but the province is a wreck.
You don’t really know what you’re talking about.
Also, the Chinese Mafia and Drug/Human trafficking cartels own BC.
It only seems like it’s a province of Canada.
We don’t need the Toronto, Ottawa, and Montreal Democrats influencing our elections. I am unsure about Calgary, but I know the people in Edmonton would be welcome with open arms in American conservative circles.
Edmonton?! Most of the ridings there are held by socialists.
We don’t need any of them.
This may be true.
Fair enough.
and Saskatchewan. Both Alberta and Saskatchewn voted 65% ‘conservative’ in the recent election. We don’t want (most of) the rest, which is ultra ultra ‘progressive’.
The whoe thing would produce many dem or worse congresscritters and 2 dem senators.
No to any any Canadian state. It will not parse out to our benefit.
Saskatchewan too.
Just the crew from “Corner Gas” that’s it.
I’m with you, Mrs. Sunshine.
I’d take all three prairie provinces…Firstly they hate Ottawa and liberals, and they’re rich in oil, potash, and agriculture…Plus they believe in working for a living…Canada would cease to exist without them….Screw B.C….It’s liberal/socialist.
Canada was 2nd World 20 years ago. Only guessing what it is now.
Canada is run by a banker. A banker, that is a liberal. You can not make this up if you tried. This is what happens when you celebrate the field goal when the game is just starting.
Nice football analogy. How I miss football since the commies ruined it.
I love all of the people nodding their heads in agreement with Carney as though they have a Right to unfettered access to the US markets while, at the same time, putting tariffs and barriers on the US to Canadian markets.
A gallery of ghastly ghouls.
All native Canadians, of course. /s
Ohhhh, you mean the bobble heads!!!
Can’t wait for those nodding bobble heads to explode !!
WE love the beauty of industry in our town and upon our shores.
A bunch of old crones
Compare to historical numbers. I heard (and just think I confirmed) that US has the current ability to build 2-3 ships per year. And there is a 50% attrition rate of first year employees. And I’m sure a carrier or other large ship is completely out of the question. Talk about loss of institutional knowledge.
You have no idea what blue collar Americans are capable of.
Their only limitation is putz level management.
What are you trying to say?
Americans can pull it off given opportunity and will.
Bath-built USS John S. Basilone (DDG 122) recently got the highest score on Final Contract Trials of any DDG 51 built since the program was restarted.
There’s attrition at the shipyard, true. Not all of the contributing factors are attributable to the shipyard itself, but the local government and economy. The cost of living is just too high, never mind all the tax and other regulatory burdens.
The shipyard does not have the luxury of being able to move all of its infrastructure to greener pastures as it were the same as individuals can.
I think so.
Think of how women were learning to build engines for ships and the like, during WWII.
Of course, they didn’t have fake environmental concerns closing down mills and that kind of thing to worry about.
There you go, throwing facts out there. And the coasts are where the commies congregate.
… from 900 ships (including 100’s of mine sweepers and minor logistic vessels), to almost 7,000 warship between December 6th, 1941, and the end of the second war. That doesn’t include the 100’s more under construction.
Static analysis is almost always wrong. The reason US shipbuilding is the way it is, is because union shipworkers raised costs and dropped quality to the point where customers preferred building anywhere else. The same as US commercial shipping. To become a longshoreman, to join their union, you have to have immediate family already in the union. No second cousins. Has to be father, uncle, grandfather, brother, etc.. Thus, US ports are some of the most backwards in the world. Few countries fly under the US flag, due to bureauocracy and costs associated with US government controls.
NO DOUBT the US government has disincentivized commercial shipbuilding in all sorts of ways, but the unions have “done their fair share” to eliminate the industry. None of that existed at the start of WWII, and America was living under the grand socialist, President for life, FDR, while unions were at the height of their power.
You state it beautifully, union leadership could ruin a wet dream.
Certainly unionizing Avondale Shipyard did nothing to help those workers. Poor quality work on the LPD-17 Navy contracts led to its closure. I don’t think there is anything of similar scale on the New Orleans westbank to replace those jobs.
A lot of the old shoreline land that traditionally was used for heavy industry has been repurposed by local government into retail/residential or in some cases warehousing. Makes it hard to find a footprint for shipbuilding.
I don’t believe this. 2-3 aircraft carriers a year, but 2-3 ships total!? I’m not buying it.
Heck, even Bath Iron Works delivers at least one hull a year to the US Navy by itself.
The trick is multiple hulls are under construction at various states of completion at any time at the shipyard.
Don’t imagine Newport News is much different with carriers and subs. Ditto Huntington Ingalls Industries that also builds destroyers.
IIRC we are currently building about 1.5 Virginias a year but Navy would like to get that to 3. No one here likes Collins but she is one of the big shipbuilding advocates.
A Korean shipbuilder just took over what had been the Philly Naval Ship Yard. Currently they can do about 1.5 commercial ships a year.
Art…er…Mark Carney really should fire his Trump whisperer. lol No matter how he feels about an initiative or negotiating tactic of the president, one of the worst things he can do for his position is be seen cheering any Trump setback. As has been reported, the president has many economic tools in his quiver and it should be remembered that during his first term he successfully imposed tariffs without declaring an emergency. This district black robe overplayed his hand and presumed power by vacating tariffs already collected – an unprecedented move that places the judiciary at the center of sensitive international relations. The robes really have gone to their heads.
Carney reminds me of the cartoon medieval knight who pokes the dragon with a flimsy sword in one panel and in the very next is shown wide-eyed and burned to a crisp. Being globalist really doesn’t have to be synonymous with being stupid, but Carney is pushing the meme for all its worth.
J
The cost for Golden Dome protection may just go up ..
Snow Mexicans. Still makes me laugh.
On their best day.
😂
I am beginning to feel like Sundance is insulting the Mexicans with that one.
No Cards Carney will probably woo the CCP for infusions, all at a cost. Anything to avoid an American / Trump win to thwart their globalist agenda.
CCP money is like heroin. The first is free… but…
MDMA is a big one for Canada as well..
In which case, Trump must reply with strength.
London doesn’t allow any Christian Republics to flourish.
if there were ever a picture of evil……
The King of UKistan and his sidekick Carney.
They hide the leash and collar.
The Superannuateds!
How many of those medals Charles is wearing were won in combat? Asking for a friend! If none I would be embarrassed!
Although he has experience in each branch of the British military (including commando training), Charles never was in combat.
All those medals…maybe Chuck was a….’seck-a-tary’…..from Keenan Ivory Wayans “I’m Gonna Git You Sucka”:
Interesting, Colkitto.
Will history repeat?
Charles got nothing from either his father or his mother.
He is a dupe and an imbecile.
This from Robert Spencer’s article below…
“The king, however, is not some leftist college professor standing in a sparsely filled auditorium to give a lecture on racism to bored and thoroughly indoctrinated blue-haired students. When he makes a declaration of sovereignty, it matters, and his land acknowledgement before the Canadian parliament was exactly that. The ostensible sovereign of the land was actually saying that he was not sovereign and that the land belonged to the Algonquin Anishinaabeg people.”
Remembering that he was reading a document written by Carney and/or his staff.
Are we going to see history repeating? I doubt Charles realized the import of what he read publicly.
Carney belongs to a malevolent, conniving, goal driven cabal which still believes they can effect their world dominance.
This isn’t some small utterance.
We will see what comes of it as time progresses, which I am willing to bet is no good whatsoever for Canadians.
By the end of Carney’s machinations, we’ll see how many will be opposed to President Trump and his offer.
https://www.frontpagemag.com/king-charles-undercuts-canadas-sovereignty-while-trying-to-affirm-it/
Interesting perspective.
When I caught that astonishing part of Charles’ address my jaw dropped, but I could find no one anywhere, no news site, no comment on it. Believe me I’ve been searching.
And then today I stumbped upon the estimable Robert Spencer’s , who noticed it as well and wrote (as he always does on any subject) eloquently about this stupefying announcement. Was reassured that I was not alone in interpreting what was said.
Curiouser and curiouser, said Alice…
If this declaration is true…..then UK will not support Canada… as it has now been declared an illegal nation by its former Sovereign??
So many ways to see how this will be used all right.
Charles speaks as the sovereign only.
The Labour government is another matter entirely.
We’ll just have to wait, but that he would without argument willingly read those words certainly is eyebrow raising.
So thankful our forefathers saw fit to overthrow these tyrants.
Maybe they can bolster their economy teaching French lessons. 🤣
Tres drole
Or learn to code…

Exactly where is the Canadian border? It is not a straight line.
Just to be clear, we are NOT having this half French nonsense. English only.
Yes and no. Love me some Cajuns
Same people, originally, but Cajuns are quite fun, vs. the feaux French Canadians.
Funny story, of all the groups of people in the world that speak creole, Cajuns, and people in the Seychelles Island have the most similar one. This is according to a family I met from the Seychelles.
I’m tired of having to choose English or Spanish on a prompt. This is America. We speak English.
Does Canada need NATO? What good does NATO do Canada? What are the chances of Russia invading Canada if Canada were to exit NATO?
Maybe Canada should just pull out of NATO, or at least cut NATO funding?
Maybe we should do the same.
The issue is Russian subs under the Canadian ice up North
Russia Russia Russia Russia. Get over it trapper, the Cold War is so last century and nobody is believing in the Russian boogeyman anymore. Time to be the great republic we were meant to be and get back to being the dominant modern day Roman’s of our time.
The Russians have been in the Pacific Northwest for a long, long time and never made an effort to take it. Fort Ross, the Russian River…had settlements here for the fur trade. They helped establish trade in the Pacific northwest. The Soviets who lost over 20 million in WWII as allies to the US , England and France are Bad, bad, bad!!! Japan bombed Pearl Harbor killed thousands in the Pacific and were a serious threat to the US in WWII and we treat them like equals. hmmm
NATO should have been demolished decades ago.
“At the end of the Cold War, NATO had effectively ceased to be relevant as a deterrent force on the European continent. A new cut of clothing was sought for the members. Rather than passing into retirement, it became, in essence, a broader auxiliary force of US power. In the absence of a countering Soviet Union, the organisation adopted a gonzo approach to international security.
In 1999, the alliance became a killing machine for evangelical humanitarianism, ostensibly seeking to protect one ethnic group against the predations of another in Kosovo. In 2011, it involved itself in military operations against a country posing no threat to any members of the alliance. NATO, along with a steady air attacks and missile barrages, enforced the no-fly zone over Libya as the country was ushered to imminent, post-Qaddafi collapse. When the International Security Force (ISAF) completed its ill-fated mission in Afghanistan in 2015, NATO was again on the scene.”
NATO: 75 and Still Threatening
https://www.counterpunch.org/2024/07/22/nato-75-and-still-threatening/
What good does NATO do US?
Allows the US to control Europe’s foreign policy; though if that’s “good” is debatable.
Historically the route for nuclear warhead missiles from both US and USSR was over Canada. Newfoundland/Nova Scotia was also a strategic location for monitoring subs (NAVFAC Argentia/CFS Shelbourne).
Question- has any U.S. president ever been impeded by so many court rulings as Trump has?
I mean deport illegals , lawsuit , close agencies , lawsuit, reduce government staff, lawsuits. Now this ???
We are now well into a constitutional crisis. Activist J. Roberts is bobbing and weaving around the various illegal injunctions, whilst M Johnson is looking away, his fingers in his ears, going lalalalalalal!
Who’s Sorry Now?
You’ve had you way, now you must pay.
I’m glad that you’re sorry now.
Thx for the song. Brought back memories.
My pleasure, I’m glad it stirred memories, hope they were good ones.
What serious country requires their President or Prime Minister to speak two languages and to say everything twice? Imagine if President Trump had to repeat everything in say Spanish?
Well, Quebec was a French colony for around 200 years, until England got it after what the U.S. calls the French and Indian War, and the Brits decided to let well enough alone. (Quebec is geographically the largest province.)
The prime minister is not required to say everything twice and they definitely do not do that .
I think that’s the best post trashing Canada I have sent on here yet .
Wot? He just did it in the video Sundance included above! Did you not watch it?
As I’ve stated before…Canada, the EU AND the UK economies are all on the brink of collapse. Trump holds ALL the cards. So they can continue to huff and puff and bloviate all they want, but as my dear old aunt used to say…beggars can’t be choosers.
We actually ain’t doing so hot ourselves. Debt & interest will take over the entire budget in a few years.
Carney jumped the snark…
I’m tired of hearing from Canada. They are a dead country walking and too stupid, arrogant, and enslaved by Chyna to even notice it.
Let them fail. We’re a little busy right now.
Our backs are getting close to being against the wall with lack of skilled Dirty Jobs types here as well.
I Pray President Trump has Mike Rowe involved with this Trade School initiative I saw mentioned the other day.
Canada “has no cards”..
https://www.collegeofstjoseph.com/
Or, how about this trade school?
Yep . Call me a sexist but looking at the initial video shot all I see are liberal, Leftist, phobic female entities clinging to their new “leader”. Another femme fatale who most likely stole his socks from his predecessor Trudope.
Sundance is so succinct at exposing the grift that these posers try to impose on America.
I love Canadiens who see through the BS. (Dekester et al) Most are in Western Canada but I know there are enclaves living in the hellholes of Quebec, Montreal, Newfoundland and even out near Vancouver who want the same thing that us MAGA folks want.
My wish is that ALL those that believe in a living GOD rise up and stop the insanity that is going on now. If ALL the people in the world that want to live free without politicians would rise UP and say “NO MORE! and realize that THEY have the POWER to change the dynamic what would happen? That would be a glorious day. Unfortunately you have those so poor and innocent that they have no means to rise up. Then you have those that have everything they need (some of the US, EU, other countries) and don’t want to lose it.
The politicians are not going to solve our problems. President Trump is not a politician and he is tryin to save our country but he is surrounded by politicians. I pray that he is giving the wisdom (truthful intel) land the courage to make the right choices for our country.
Nothings easy.
I’m going to give you a thumbs up just for the song and brilliant Tull album.

Ungrateful, just as Germany.
We need to annex/admit BC, Alberta and Yukon Territory. Then one will be able to drive to Alaska, maybe we’ll get some decent roads, and a railroad line would be awesome.
Better would be extending the railroad and or highway across the Bering Straight to Russia.

Carney must be a native of Wullerton………(spit)
To reach 2% of GDP, (only 0.63 percent!) for NATO required defense spending it would cost 15 BILLION dollars? Jeez louise, how much money does NATO extort from it’s 32 member states? What a scam.
Look at how Carney is speaking amid a sea of nodding parliamentary bobble heads like the ones you see on on car dashboards.
I’ve spent 55 years working in those dirty industrialized systems that Sundance speaks of and Canada has chosen to eschew.
For many decades my family’s steel fabrication and machine shops taught unskilled labor how to be welders, fitters, machinists and layout men…until our own federal government shut down those kinds of places and turned many of our old factory buildings into waterfront condos housing yuppie couples with clean fingernails and government-subsidized jobs.
But Trump is bringing back respect for men and women who work with their hands and our industry is coming back with a vengeance!
Not so with Canada, with Carney, Trudeau and liberal bobbleheads holding sway in the Canadian parliament. The whole bunch have been living in a fantasy world with other peoples’ money for far too long.
They’re about to find out some hard lessons about how the world works. And it ain’t going to work so well if you give a middle finger to the man who can sink your ship of state and send it to the scrap yards!
FAFO has been overused but it really applies in the case of our friends in Bob and Doug McKenzie’s Great White North!
Dirty hands
Clean money
Those are my favorite people!
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Still_Standing_(Canadian_TV_series)
We’ve been watching this series “Still Standing” that is about communities in Canada that have been decimated by these stupid policies that Canada adopted.
Mr Carney is going to need that finger he’s flipping because PDJT is going to shove it up his an*$.
You Canadians put this poser, Carney, in power and he mocks our President Trump.
I think we should completely close our border with Canada.
It is a country hostile to, and predatory against, the United States of America. Canada is so immersed in socialism, it cannot defend itself or be a meaningful participant in NATO.
Canadians think there is a free lunch to give away anything its citizens want and need. Its people don’t seem to know how wealth is created. They don’t seem to know those who create wealth don’t want to hand it over to those who do not create wealth.
President Trump has said, and I will repeat, “Canada has NOTHING we Americans need.”
Canada is now a very good friend to the Chinese Communist Party and now hostile to the USA.
America cannot be a partner with a hostile government. Such a government is not a “friend.”
I never wanted to hate Canada. Until now.

We Canadians swing by this site for the wild conspiracy theories, secret passwords, pancake recipes and wistful recollections of that magical Secret Sam Christmas 60 years ago. Instead we get name calling and vitriol. Lighten up, kids.
Sad Saps melting again?
🤣
There are those of us who appreciate our Canadian Treepsters.
I noticed that former bank of England carn-evil barker never addresses the fact that canada had HUGE tariffs on goods made in USA ( and for a long time).
Now we know how Canada is…
They changed their whole economy to maximize sucking at the US trade teat.
Now they can’t survive economically without free money from the USA…
Canada chose their fork in the road. Gonna be rough.
I really don’t want to encourage NATO to fund their militaries. They are dangerous lunatics and don’t share our values. Better they remain impotent.
PDT wasn’t so much saying ‘Make Canada a State’.
He was saying Canada already is a de facto state, with all the perks but none of the obligations.
And ps; Reassembling Chinese Fentanyl does not qualify under USMCA.
And ps ps: Allowing a Chinese Feild Army to operate freely does not count as NATO Spending.
Be careful what you ask for. If Canada became a state they would have 45 seats in the House based on population. Larger than California. With two added Senators they would have 47 electoral college votes. Perhaps Canadians would create a third party but Republicans would never win the Presidency again.
How is Canada exporting raw materials and energy to us if it has no mining sector? Does mining sector does Sundance just mean coal?

Also :
British Press on Charles SpeechKing Charles III’s speech in the Canadian Parliament on May 27, 2025, emphasized Canada’s sovereignty and self-determination, a clear response to US President Donald Trump’s annexation threats and trade tensions.4
The speech, which marked the first time a British monarch had delivered the throne speech in Canada since 1977, was seen as a strong show of support for Canada’s independence.
Speech Content: King Charles III defended Canada’s sovereignty, stating that “all Canadians give themselves far more than any foreign power or any continent can ever take away.” He also highlighted the values of democracy, pluralism, the rule of law, self-determination, and freedom, which Canadians hold dear.
Context: The speech came at a time when President Trump has imposed tariffs on Canada and suggested that it should become the 51st state of the United States. The Canadian government, led by Prime Minister Carney, has been bolstered by Mr. Trump’s attacks and has taken a more supportive stance toward the Crown.2
Historical Significance: This visit and speech are significant as they mark a shift in the relationship between Canada and the British monarchy, signaling a stronger alignment and support for the Crown.2
Reading between the lines, the nonsense about Britain and Canada being more ‘closely-aligned’ is just a part of the Globalist playbook that both Carney and King Charles, both globalists, are espousing in order to drive a greater wedge between both Canadians and Americans, both of which peoples of the American continent, not the European continent
Sorry, the last line should read “both of which are peoples of the American continent, not the European continent (nor the World Economic Forum)
Great analysis and insights. My hope for Canada is that they ditch the leftism and globalism and climate changism and all the other stupid policies that are destroying this country. My intuition tells me that Canada needs the tough love and consequences to come to its senses. I’m waiting to see how it all plays out. My first choice would be for Canada is to reform and to be a strong strong and mutually beneficial ally for the United States and other freedom loving countries. But if Canada doesn’t come to its senses then I would choose separation from Canada.
