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!
51st state or no deal
We don’t want the snow mexican libs voting, we have enough of our own idiots to deal with 😉
What? Von der Leyen spoke about the offer of ‘associate membership’ as though it was within her purview to offer it, without discussing this with the rest of the EU members?? Hopefully the EU has had enough of this little tyrant.
They’re all above obeying laws, except their own.
How many nations respect their constitutions, laws, anymore?
They are making crap up as fast as they can to keep power and control.
Now that it appears that Carney has come back to the trade negotiation table, PDJT should exact as painful a price from him as is humanly possible with respect to a trade agreement. Then, once negotiated and before finalized he should make Carney publically proclaim that Canada is distancing itself from the British Monarchal system. It will deal a blow to both the British Globalists and the Canadian socialists.
Yep. No more smoke outs, we need drone border patrol on steroids with lasers.
I had Carney Caves on all my Bingo cards.
President Trump should make Carney a deal in 2 years. Let the tariffs do their job, first.
We want the industry and investment back.
Canada can go “take off”.
Idc about that evil money grubbing scum. Close that border to the Chyna fentanyl and infiltrating army, byds and all the other out of town browns taking Ubers to get here! No libs allowed either!
