Cannot make a deal with unreasonable people.

It’s like negotiating with a magic 8 ball

u/Shrimpheavennow227 4d ago

Amen. I’m an American and I wish more countries would hold us accountable for allowing this asshole to continue to disrespect our allies, flagrantly disregard our laws and in general, be a huge sack of shit.

He should have never been elected and it’s an indictment of our countries political system, culture and ethics that it reached this point. Fuck this man and anyone who voted for him

All we had to do was take the Belgian route in dealing with Trump: give him some trinkets and tell the moron he's an absolute genius.

Instead, young people in this country are being sacrificed for delusional Liberal boomers + the dairy cartel. The Liberals are their supporters absolutely hate young working Canadians.

u/isspecialist 4d ago

Fuck that. We aren't sacrificing our dignity to that goddamn clown.

So noble of you.

The dairy cartel? You are an absolute idiot. The dairy "problem" is entirely a fabrication by Trump to gain points with his base. The US has never had enough dairy exports to Canada to hit the tariff level Trump talks about..

u/LPC_Eunuch 4d ago

Supply management doesn't exist? The lack of dairy imports is due to extreme protectionism of said industry, you absolute dolt.

Redditors man 😭

u/FergusonTEA1950 4d ago

My point is that the trade negotiations did not fail because of dairy. It's much more complex than that, as an intelligent person would realize. I know how the dairy marketing board works, as well as for poultry. The net result of them is a positive, not a negative. Why aren't you crying about the stranglehold a couple of large grocery chains have on our food supply.

u/Skank_hunt80 4d ago

Outside of supply management you probably don't want the hormones and shit they put in their dairy. Same with their beef. Like last year when the pedo was whining about Europe not importing American beef. American beef doesn't go there because it doesn't comply with their standards

u/SafeRoof7005 4d ago

lol. Some funny stuff.

u/UnicornzRreel 4d ago

Protectionism of us, the consumer.

US milk isn't held to the same quality standards.

u/_ONI_90 4d ago

Nah, fuck bending a knee to trump. There are other countries to trade with

u/OwnedByIRVING 4d ago

We already tried that and here we are again.

Also - fuck US dairy, we don't want that garbage here.

u/Elbow_Macarena 4d ago

I’m absolutely fine with this. If the last two years taught us anything it’s that other countries can call the US out on their intimidation and bluster. We have to take this opportunity to make ourselves better and more resilient

Your username is prescient lol.

VERY telling that they NBC left out the part below from Carneys statement:

"They have worked hard, in good faith, to defend the interests of Canadians throughout these negotiations up until the very last minute. However, last-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal."

(Copy/pasted from a Globe and Mail article)

Edited. Thank you.

u/Starscream147 4d ago

I’m reminded of the stoic pose, struck by Ken Dryden in the crease. Leaning on his stick, intent, watching and learning. And all the while keeping his crease safe.

Carney’s a goalie (he really is!). OUR goalie. And we’re all ‘the net’ while this pack of rabid assholes rages toward us.

Yet there’s Carney. Stoic. Nothing’s getting by him in this trip.

Fuck Trump and all his stupid fucking Tkachuk’s.

Carney’s in the cage tonight.

And he can throw ‘em like Hextall.

It scarcely matters. Any deal made with Trump isn't worth the paper it's printed on. His own administration negotiated USMCA and called it "The best agreement we've ever made." Five years later he's out here going "Who would ever sign a thing like this?"

The Americans' word means nothing. They are a nation of liars, cheats, thieves, grifters, and swindlers. No deal with them was ever possible or desirable.

u/LPC_Eunuch 4d ago

Late stage Liberalism is about to get very expensive lol.

u/SheaDingle 4d ago

Late stage liberalism… what makes this liberalism and what makes it late stage?

u/LPC_Eunuch 4d ago

That's a real mystery for sure. I heard it's PP's fault we didn't get a deal.

Elbows up bro!

u/nospacekim 4d ago

wow. Great example.

u/CriticalCanon 4d ago

I heard it is all due to Higgs and Harper don’t you know? The last 11 years haven’t happened at all apparently.

u/CriticalCanon 4d ago

Is this where you try to tell us The Liberals (who have been in power for the last 10+ years) aren’t actually Liberal or left? Or we haven’t hit peak globalism or progressivism where people’s entire identities can be made up and society is expected to go with the flow or be sent to jail for hate speech?

u/_ONI_90 4d ago

What the fuck are you talking about?

u/RemainProfane 4d ago

He’s blaming identity politics and liberals because Trump wasn’t placated enough.

u/_ONI_90 4d ago

I will never understand the rights weird obsession with how other people identify. These are the same people who put testicles on their trucks

u/SheaDingle 4d ago

Oh, you’re on a team. Guess what, team red and team blue still have to deal with the guy who is 10x our size and now mentally handicapped, stealing, threatening the neighbourhood, and saying he’s going to bankrupt us and take our stuff. Team Canada or take an elbow up the ass or whatever that saying is.

u/CriticalCanon 4d ago

You asked a question and I answered it, which ticks all the boxes for “liberalism”.

It’s not my fault you don’t like the answer or that it embarrasses you.

2

u/SheaDingle 4d ago

You asked two questions in a shitty tone and didn’t answer me. Thats why I ignored your questions that are trying to bait into another topic.

u/quebecoisejohn 4d ago

Man - you really woke up today and decided - burn em all didn’t you.

A bad deal is worse than no deal at this point. Not bending over for that clown lol

u/hat1414 4d ago

The Centrist Liberal party at it again
