It is a factual datapoint that will not change. A fully vested Free Trade Agreement with the European Union does not align with an FTA with the United States. It’s a fact that doesn’t change no matter how much spin is applied. The EU has structural rules and regulations (climate, energy, net zero, carbon trading) that create distance in any trade effort with the USA.
That said, much to the chagrin of Prime Minister Mark Carney and EU head Ursula Fond-of-Lyin, last Friday the major economies within the EU, specifically Germany, rejected any possibility of an “Associate Member” status for Canada. Simultaneously, Canadian media realized a trade deal with Europe would subject Canada to carbon taxes that are larger and more economically intrusive than Trump’s tariffs.
Well, whaddyaknow…. This happens:

Go figure!
Remember what I said about the North American USMCA being entirely incompatible with the EU regulations on trade? Well, the European Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism is one brutally obvious example therein. Canada already having created a carbon trading exchange system may be willing to align and regulate themselves even more with that nonsense, but the USA and Mexico are never going to participate in such self-defeating foolishness.
All of a sudden, Carney needs the USA again!
Time to Nail Carney to a big tree, he is just another Crazy Dishonest Leftist!
I told you this guy was stupid!
Except he would claim to be modern day Jesus.
Pound sand banker boy
Watch for flying elbows
The Hillary hag he hired probably told him the unvarnished truth about the midterms. Time to get ahead of his duplicity.
What are your tea leaves telling you about the midterm elections outcomes?
Blarney needs to bring in Moose and Squirrel to negotiate.
well, sometimes when one door closes…
another one slams in your face.🤣
Idiot
Does this mean the Canuckian election interference schemes worked?
A slippery politician, being slippery. I really do despise these creeps.
Carney made a 100 year deal with zAlensky so there is already a deal with the ewe and the ewe give money to ewekraine.
🤔 ….Kind of looks like the Canadian milk is getting ready to boil. All at once.
But, like other countries in the British Commonwealth, Canada’s citizens are disarmed.
I wonder how Puppet Gate will meme about this! lol
The “carbon trading exchange system” is how the Chinese electric vehicle BYD company actually makes money. They sell BYD at or below cost (basically giving the car away), and then sells the highly profitable carbon credits on the exchange.
BTW, conceptually is very similar to what our telecom companies like AT&T, Verizon, T-Mobile do – they give away iPhones, and then make their money by charging you for the data.
Printers and printer ink.
Before that, IBM computers and punch cards.
It’s an old trick.
President Trump, should tell carney and Canada to go pound salt!!!
It almost leaves one speechless to realize how stupid intellectuals can be. Were I a Canadian, I would be out with a pitchfork and torch for both Carney and Ursula!
“It almost leaves one speechless to realize how stupid intellectuals can be.”
How many Canadians think of themselves as intellectuals? And according to what definition of ‘intellectual’? (I.e., an intellectual Canadian can cite any number of arguments to claim that something which isn’t so, is actually so.)
stupid intellectuals = educated idiots and when you couple that with hubris, you have a Carney or a Euro Weeny or a Harvard democrat.
Les petardiers “hoist” themselves yet again…
Isn’t “Carney” the diminutive name for carnival barker? (Wikipedia defines carnival barker as follows: “A barker, often a carnival barker, is a person who attempts to attract patrons to entertainment events, such as a circus or funfair, by exhorting passing members of the public, announcing attractions”).
When was this conversation?
Has President Trump verified this call or commented on this call?
0.o
President Trump won !!!
He’s breaking them all, one by one, like the dry twigs they are !!!!
Next up, the Bank of London, lifting their boot off the neck of the world and the grand finale, abolish the WEF.
G.O.A.T Patriot, President of the United States Donald J. Trump.
F**k him. Let him swing like the last leaf of winter.
The next thing you know, he’ll be applying for statehood.
Carney still has to throw subtle insults at the USA, “…and fully respect Canada’s languages, culture, and sovereignty.” as though PDJT is trying to dictate such norms.
Carney is a snake.
With the German and UK Central Banks already holding near worthless paper from the Centrals Banks of EU Members they bailed out in 2010-2014 … those same “bailed out” EU member Central Banks still in dire straights …. the French Central Bank in trouble and looming economic issues for even the Germans and UK … the looming costs for the need to actually equip their own standing Defense Forces …. the last thing the EU needed was another nation headed for the need of a “Bailout” and without enough cash to pull their weight on the Military front.
Then there are the Billions of Euro’s “lent” to the Ukrainians that are not going to be repaid and Z-Man demanding more.
Oh … then there is-was the Canadian-Ukrainian Bank yet to be capitalized as well as the proposed requirement to capitalize those EU-Ukrainian arms factories.
There was no amount of lip stick going to dress up the rotting Canadian Bacon (Pig).
Then there was PM Carney’s planned Carbon Credit money making scheme that would be piled on to the costs (to the EU) of the China Inc. Carbon Credit scam that has major EU Industry Companies by the short hairs.
This was doomed from the start.
