What a betrayal, I hope Liberal MPs push for a non-confidence vote.

Why do people simp like this?

No, saying “it’s totally on the table that we will fold ourselves into your economy and become more a part of you than ever” is not some kind of super-secret negotiation tactic for getting more independent.

At international PR levels, there is no room for that kind of double-think. World leaders pre-announce the things that they want to happen in order to help make those things happen, and right here Carney is pre-announcing that, if conditions are right, Canada is prepared to continue being America’s little bitch.

I really don’t know why he would do that, but that’s the open-face plain meaning of what he said.

The longer this "strategy" of not banning trade with them goes on the worse we come out of it.

give your head a shake, how do "ban" trade with ol donnie dingle dick without antagonizing the world's largest military

its called pragmatism - we just selectively ban portions in retaliation, perfectly reasonable, and not casus belli

i mean the state of kentucky will give you toothless blowjobs for life if you buy a bottle of shitty bourbon now, and they were gleefully happy about the tariffs

literally too stupid to insult
