Who care what this clown has to say.. get the fuck out of my country
American here. Could a Canadian explain to me why the Canadian government didn't kick this guy, and the embassy the fuck out of the country the moment piggy trump threatened Canadian sovereignty with his 51st state bullshit?
The role of an ambassador is to create a diplomatic channel to settle disputes reasonably through dialogue. I am very happy Canada did not kick out the ambassador precisely when such a diplomatic vehicle became critical.
But when the US ambassador abdicates his role as a diplomat and takes up the role of a bully or a propagandist, he loses his value.
We should kick him out now. At the very least, he is useless to us.
He is right, trade talks are not going to be easy. But the reason is that the US overestimates its value. It may take a while for the US to realize its error and negotiate in earnest.
The rest of he world is bigger than the US. We are very reliant on US trade today but that can be fixed. We do not have to trade with the US. The US cannot survive without trade. The US has to trade with us (the world). They need us more than we need them. They will figure that out eventually.
The US can absolutely survive without trade. They'll be comparatively poor and not have much "soft" power, but they have more than enough resources in their borders to feed and arm themselves. Inefficiently.
Hoektua is a grade-A asshole and a huge liability, and that actually benefits us. People can see very publicly that we're looking for trade opportunities elsewhere. They're coming to us.
It is still important to keep up the appearance that the people want to work with the US, economical war is significantly different than “traditional” war.
Once again, this stupid fucker can fuck right the fucking fuck off. And fucking stay there.
Let's be very clear here: Hoekstra is...
- A contributor to Project 2025
- A gun nut with an "A" rating from the NRA
- A war monger who was instrumental in the invasion of Iraq
- A homophobe
- A founding member of the "Tea Party" movement
- A racist
- A meddler in foreign elections (Netherlands and Canada)
And a Nazi piece of shit all around.
May he get the consequences he deserves.
Every accusation is a confession
An evil man who's job is to communicate the position of an incoherent babbling hateful child rapist convict who steals from children's charities. A bad faith actor. Who doesn't honour his own deals and is not bound by congress, the courts or the rule of law,
He can go home. There is nothing for him to do in Canada.
He can go choke on a Timbit.
Lolololol.
Eat a bone saw, you fascist piece of shit.
Can we kick this guy out of the country!? I’m sick of hearing him speak! Can someone rip that Canada/USA pin from his lapel too! 😡
He was removed from the previous country he was in representing the US, was he not?
I can't confirm but I did hear the same. So, of course they put him in Canada - a friendly posting 🙄
I don’t know why we still give him a stage to speak and talk about him. Best to ignore. That’s going to irk him most.
I agree. But he is not getting much of a stage. I hear his voice but it has the same impact on me as hearing a toilet flush.
He does though. He has speaking engagements all over the (our!) country and his crap gets regularly printed in the news (as per original post). That needs to stop asap. I don’t think expelling him is a good move but we can just flat out cut him out of Canadian press and events. That is a much better approach.
Yah its going to take a lot for us to come back. He can gizzle my cum. But by mail because he's not touching me.
He's gotta be rage baiting
Nope he believes this, I am sure he is trying to get kicked out of Canada like he did his previous post.
Of course he is. That's his job. That's why Trump hired him: to be an irritant. He does his "best" work when his opponents are off-balance, and placing a racist fuckwit as ambassador to your opponents is a solid tactic.
Hoekstra is an absolutely terrible shitstain on humanity, and that's exactly why Trump sent him to Canada.
I don't think that "hextra" guy knows what an ambassador is.
Expel the fash
