“I love the Canadian people, but the leaders have taken advantage of our stupid leadership for many, many years. They felt emboldened. … They act like they’re totally innocent. They’re not. They were very bad. But now they’re being taught a little lesson.”

That’s rich coming from a frequent visitor of Epstein Island (though I suppose no lessons have been learned in his case).

“Canada has taken advantage of us for so many years. The worst of any country,” Trump said.

Someone should tell this moron that repeating something excessively does not make it true.

He’s desperate to have some wins to sell to the populace so he’s massively overselling everything. Based on his social media post, the US now basically owns Greenland (which really doesn’t seem to be the case).

Yeah but if you have a world renowned deal maker at the table… 😂

Go for it.

So what, are you pro windmill cancer or something?

Oh great, pro democracy propaganda!

Have we though?

Guys, stop being so unhinged; this isn’t a trade war!

I suppose it’s time for Canada to change its procurement policies accordingly.

It’s definitely stupidity of some variety.

Stupidity is contagious.

Canadians definitely haven’t been showing enough gratitude since these tariffs on their products came into effect!

““Prime Minister Carney used the term ‘war.’ It’s not a word we use, right? We don’t talk about it that way. For us, it’s business, it’s economics,” Greer told the FT News Briefing podcast.”

I guess we could just do some “business” and “economics” and stop sending electricity and oil to the US…

Textbook dominance move. “We are going to hit you and you can’t hit us back. If you do, we will hit you again.”

Snapping Senator was one of my favourites.

Notably: “The White House says, “Canada has extracted a persistent average annual goods trade deficit of roughly $50 billion from the U.S. over the last decade — while refusing reciprocal access.”

The overall number is correct (it was $48.5 billion in 2025, according to the U.S. Trade Representative). But as premiers and others have repeatedly noted, the only reason for that is because Canada exported 3.9 million barrels of oil per day to the U.S. last year.

States near Canada’s border need the oil, and it’s sold at below-market prices, a significant economic advantage for the U.S.

If that oil were removed from the calculation, the U.S. would have a goods surplus with Canada. In other words, excluding energy, it exports more stuff to Canada than Canada exports to the U.S.”
