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:
[SOURCE]
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 😉
Amen. I live 6 miles from the border and we do NOT want them as a state.
I live 5 miles from the Canadian Border and thats 5 miles too close.
I live 250 miles from the border, and that’s 300 miles too close. I know. Don’t overthink it.
But a state? No thanks. Even Alberta is disappointing with the recent vote. They need a lot more pain to come to their senses. I take no joy in saying that. I know there’s a lot of good, decent, hard-working Canucks. But there are too many libtards, and we already have way too many ourselves to deal with.
Most Canadians live 5 miles from the US border, too.
No. Canada should be viewed as a potential pseudo commonwealth of the United States. British and EU influence needs to be eliminated.
MAGA
How about as a territory….no voting privileges….
Yeah, that’s a no for me. Puerto Rico has ruined that for me.
That would just be one more annexation for the Democrat Socialists when they get back in power. Make no mistake, they will get back in power one day and they will enter the political realm with the exactness of the sharpest sword, razor and machete. They will use these people and then make them lemmings just like they have done so many poor Americans.
Prices may be up a little right now, but citizens are still much better off than they were under the Biden/Shadow Obama 4 year follow-up to Obama’s 8 year Destroy America reign.
Thumb Down!
Yeah, it makes for great snark and teasing, but there’s no way we’d accept them.
Screw that! Statehood is out of the question for a socialist country.
Maybe they can be the new Puerto Rico?
Say what? The leftist globalist lying liar Carney had to extract his head out of his own azz now that he’s figured out the EUnuchs can’t be used as an excuse for Canada’s failing economy? Say it ain’t so.
File under *SRA.
*Sundance Right Again
Puerto Rico is a welfare dependency. They pay no US federal income taxes but get most federal welfare benefits. US passports, US military security, seamless travel back and forth, etc. They also get to keep their own language (Spanish.)
That’s a deal Canada would love. It would keep them on the US dole without full obligations. It somewhat matches what Carney is asking for.
Canada wants to be “Snow-Ricans.”
The last thing we’d want is for them to have US voting rights.
HELL NO. Canada is full of Chinese, Mudslimes and Hezbollah operatives. Not to mention the weirdos like Chrystia Freedland running around. They’d all vote DemScum anyhow
They do now I’ll bet.
Just say no.
No deal.
No statehood.
No deal then, who wants California light as a state
Hard No, with the possible exception of Alberta. Canad to conservatives are still pretty squishy and liberal by our standards.
LOL.
Rub it in.
Alberta, maybe.
I don’t want to see the flag’s star pattern all screwed up due to them. They’re not worth it.
We already have too many Socialists in this country, especially in positions of power. What makes you think we need a couple of million more? The only way to take them would be for them to agree to 50 years of no voting, no representation and no services. Violating that would nullify their annexation!
We DO NOT need ANYTHING CANADIAN!!!! They will mostly be worse than more Somalias !!!!!! BUILD A HUGE WALL on OUR northern border!
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.
…this little unelected tyrant.
Tyrant is a much more polite way to call her what a great majority of Canadians are most likely calling her. I doubt many terms start with the letter “T”.
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.
Carney is such a ridiculous piece of human garbage. Do you think he might have finally figured out being on his knees in front of Xi was going to somehow going to keep the US providing Canada’s national security or his Canadian population from having to learn to speak Chinese?
I understand the feeling, and if President Trump can do that without hurting ordninary Canadians, I say go for it. But mostly I’d like something both sides can live with for a long time.
From what I understand with regards to Sundance and the way he’s explained the trade between Canada and the US, Canada can’t uphold its end of the trade bargain.
They would have to redo their whole system.
Maybe Sundance can explain it again?
Speaking of which.
What is to stop Canada from saying FO to the crown and declaring itself as a free agent?
What could England do about it?
Send it’s navy ? LOLOLOL
Canadian Members of Parliament (including the PM) swear their oath of allegiance to the King. That’s it, to the King, not to Canada, not to the Canadian people, they swear their loyalty to the King. https://www.ourcommons.ca/procedure/procedure-and-practice-3/ch_04_6-e.html
Naturalized Canadians swear allegiance to the King, and promise to respect the “First Nations” aboriginals. They do NOT swear to be loyal to the Canadian people or do what is best for Canada.
https://www.canada.ca/en/immigration-refugees-citizenship/corporate/publications-manuals/discover-canada/read-online/oath-citizenship.html
That’s all very interest ing but doesn’t answer my question.
Oath’s are broken all the time.
If Canadian gvt said enough of this crap we’re going it alone I don’t see what the crown can do about it.
Nothing. Problem is that Canada can’t make a go of it without getting a free ride on access to the American markets and defense. Whether or not they are part of the Commonwealth doesn’t matter.
OH Well! So Sorry!
Send their Navy, of course! And maybe both their infantrymen!
Give Canada the same notice they gave Grenada. We’ll be there in about 2 weeks … lol.
So French speaking Canadian members of parliament swear an oath to an English King in the French language.
Did I get that right?
Funny thing their British Socialist brothers are anti royalists- just normal communists.
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!
Then there is that 100-year agreement signed with Ukraine.
Some people are finally pointing out the corruption
What if Trump says no deal?
That’s what PDJT should say!
“Ursula Fond-of-Lyin'”
LOL Priceless!

Seems a little bit suspicious Carney comes out with this statement on trade two days before the American elections
Two days before midterms, everything is suspicious.
I even started wondering about the FEC hack. Timing was crazy. What if, in addition to hiding likely illegal billions in foreign donations to Dims during the final days, a side purpose for it was to hide any money trail left by the Alaska Coup Crew? After all, Chuck Schumer is at the top of the pyramid in that scheme…
Now I’m saving speculation on such things for after Tuesday, and doing some 🙏🏻ing …
I remain optimistic. Worry would be pointless.
This could be a romance novel.
Ths is like when your girl wants to take time out of your relationship so she can find herself, but she secretly already had a new boyfriend. And when she goes to him expecting him to propose, instead he just wanted a side chick and leaves. So now she has to come crawling back and claim that now she knows you are the best guy for her.
You know you’re a loser when Europe wants Ukraine as a NATO member, but not Canada as an EU member.
If I were the Prez I’d tell Mr. Circus Carney to give us Alberta or no deal.🇺🇸
Forget about it COMPLETELY!!!
So, he left his wife for the hot Eurochick, found out that she’s broke, lazy, and crazy as hell, then comes crawling back to his one true mate asking for forgiveness.
President Trump should have a ball with this.
Did you mean have carney’s balls?
Like in a lock box as Rush would say?
Get carney a cardboard sign. Tell him to go to the US and Canada border. Tell carney to stand on Canandian border holding sign that says: need trade deal….Any deal.
🤨😏😒😉
And currently the EU is burning down city by city.😳
I hope that phone has been taken off the hook.
TAW…
Canada has tremendous natural resources.
If Canadians could just hang their “leadership” (as we need do) they would be living la vida loca!
Well played, Mr. President, well played.
You would think a “smart” experienced
wankerBANKER would know this. The EU was only going to use Canada to pay their mudslime hordes and to fight RussiaScrew Carney and his free loading Canuck ass. Sever USMCA permanently and be done with those bastards
I feel for the Canadian people. Reminds one of living under Obama and Biden. We suffered through the damage they did to our great country with traitorous words and actions. Mark Carney is a snake. He can’t be trusted by Canada or the US.
We dodged a missile in the 2024 election. If Ka mala (or was it Ka Malla, I cannot remember which was racist) were elected the USA would be on the same trajectory as Canada right now. We would be indistinguishable from Carneyville.
Back when she was still running with the brothers in oakland she bragged it was the Africanized version: ka-Mahh’-lla.
I remember clearly. (And I suspect President Trump does too.)
So I always call her that in the hope someone tries to correct my racism and provide me with another opportunity to tell the true story.
Works like a charm and usually shuts ’em right up. If it doesn’t, about a one minute recital of her record as AG does the trick every time.
Canada is only 60% of its former self. Mass immigration has fundamentally changed Canadian culture. I live on the border, and have seen the change up close in the last 30 years.
I hope Trump takes a run at demolishing inter provincial trade barriers, while he is at it, too!
Fully reciprocal trade tariffs, 100%. End all the previously granted
sweetheart deals which Canada has enjoyed. Make them grow up…
After all the garbage thrown at us, bad words and all, why do we need to make a deal with them? I say cancel “CUSMA” and add tariffs to the stuff that was covered in that trade deal and be done with them!
Goodpoint dceggert.
Carney does not seem very trustworthy does he.
Hosers!
😂
I thought Carnball was going to wait for the next POTUS to strike a deal with the US? Why is Trump not starting the clock to terminate the current agreement?
Mark Carney has NO cards! America has the whole deck…. including the jokers. The deal offered to Canada was better than any other nation in the world… Carney’s massive, globalist ego took over. Now he’s going to have to eat a whole humble pie all by himself & walk away with a worse deal for Canada! What a putz! I feel so very sorry for the Canadian people … they have no idea who Carney really is.
It was the ‘Gen Z’ voters who swooned over Codswallop Carney. They swamp the younger voters by population. Voters, 18-25 year old’s are more Conservative, especially after the last 15 yrs. of Trudeau. We have 5 Grandchildren, 18-25, who would never vote for the ‘lying lefties’.
The Globalists have all but turned my Country into a bowl of porridge.
Well – I guess it’s up to you folks to clean up the mess and fix it.
He wanted to wait 2 years until Trump is out, Good luck! See you in 2 years!
MAKE IT 3!!!
I don’t think Canada can hold up their end of a trade deal.
A good public “I’m sorry” would put that dumb ass Carney in a much better position.
Carney: Up on the tightrope, one side hate and onside hope

‘400% Tariffs GONE?’ | Trump Reveals SHOCK Canada Trade Deal Plan for Farmers
(9:15 mins)
Eric Daugherty
@EricLDaugh
6h
🚨 JUST NOW: President Trump announces Canada will be DROPPING TARIFFS on American farmers, in a gigantic win
“Our farmers pay tremendous tariffs to send things to Canada. All those tariffs will be DONE! There will be NO tariffs. There will be no tariffs. They were paying as much as 400 percent.”
“So part of the agreement is that our farmers will have to pay no tariffs.”
Simply amazing.
Trump has been dealmaking for WEEKS, and it’s all coming to a close soon
If Canada upholds their end of the deal, they will realize why they should treat the USA with RESPECT 🇺🇸🇨🇦

Canada’s Carney reports progress in trade talks with U.S. and Trump talks up ‘concept’ of a deal
https://www.pbs.org/newshour/world/canadian-prime-minister-carney-reports-progress-in-trade-talks-with-trump-days-before-u-s-midterms
Ha, ha, Carney,…now go read “The Art of the Deal” by one Donald J. Trump.
Checkmate, Fool.
To quote some British lads…. 🎸 🥁
🎶“You can’t always get what you want!”🎵
To quote Dandy Don Meredith on Monday Night Football,… “Turn out the lights, the party’s over! “
Trump is the greatest champion that the American people have ever had. He is a singleton among men; there will never be another quite like Trump. He thinks globally and strategically. Furter generations of Americans will come to appreciate his wisdom.
I still want to see Trump jam him up – the guy has the nerve to threaten us with his military. Get potash from Belarus and bar Canadian imports for 90 days.
Canada under recent leadership lives up to the origin of the country’s name; little town.
What’s Recently? Still is just that!
Tell him no. You won’t have time to deal with him until “sometime next year”. Buh-bye. Even better, tell him he will have to resign and Canada have new elections before you will meet with them. A lesson needs to be taught.
1) Let’s hope POTUS DJT holds Carney & Canada’s feet to the fire for an individual trade deal like Mexico.
2) Let’s hope Trump DOES NOT make as good a tariff deal for the purposes of teaching Socialists a real lesson on how a capitalist system works.
3) Let’s hope that what ever “deal” DJT makes with Canada that it doesn’t go into effect until Canada has paid at least 6 months of the 50% tariff increase coming 1 January, 2027.
Yeah, I know, so, aside from THAT Mrs. Lincoln, how was the play?
Canada created the mess they have now, let them figure out how to clean it up. With their money.
Does one lie or (lay down) to become a politician or learn to do so when one becomes a politician?
FAFO
The people of Canada cannot be trusted AT ALL ! They support a prime minister (Carney) who threatened WAR against the USA. The people of Canada are letting a globalist moron impoverish them in their foolish arrogance.
We should immediately close our northern border and stop letting the enemy into our nation. I have seen the endless stream of big trucks with Canadian license plates running up and down I-5 in the state of Washington.
I have seen endless, mile-long freight trains full of coal heading north from Washington state into British Columbia for ocean shipment to China. This is Warren Buffet’s BNSF Railroad acting to enrich China and Canada.
How is that environmentally helping clean the world’s air? China is massively expanding the burning of coal to create electricity.
The Canadian people have completely bought into the GREEN NONSENSE which is simply a ruse by globalists to move people into serfdom in which they will have no wealth, no property and no rights !
WE NEED NOTHING FROM CANADA as President Trump has repeatedly said.
China is using Canada to stage Canada’s downfall and put China in position to easily cross our northern border as an enemy invader.
Hummmm…. maybe we make them an “Associate Member” of the USoA. No voting rights and we’ll trade tariffs for Taxes. They gain access to the US market but are still beholding to the established trade rules – once they are established of course.
So Carney goes from giving President Trump the middle finger to his knees in full begging mode. By no means is Canada a part of the EU unless the EU sees the means to benefit themselves. Every move Trudeau and Carney have made to give PDJT the middle finger have not only been FAFO moments for Carney and Trudeau but nails in their EU coffin since they have nothing to offer the Eu other than a pipeline to China!
The math and the geography will determine the outcome
Canada 🇨🇦 GDP 2.6 Trillion dollars
VS
USA 🇺🇸 GDP 32.7
Trillion dollars
WHO WINS ?
PM Carney may have to call an election.
President Trump should announce, “No further talks until after their election. Maybe we will be dealing with a saner and honest PM.”
