'There is a growing frustration': Top Republican slams Canada's NAFTA negotiating tactics

Tough. We told you it would be this way going in.

Deal.

Eat a bag of dicks, Scalise.

Actually it sounds like he's preparing to give one to Canada.

Trump - "know what will really make America great again? acting like hyper-steroid bullying twats on every single issue to wildly increase the number of people and countries across the planet that absolutely despise us!"

MAGA - "sounds good, fam"

Yesterday he imposed tariffs on another bunch of Chinese products and the stock market rose 200 points on the good news.

Hate him all you want, I bet your next PM copies quite a bit from him.

There isn't a world leader that would copy anything from Capt. Orange.

Their replacements will.

I've always thought that we should distance ourselves from our southern neighbours, at least economically and now more than ever.

As the saying goes, don't anchor yourself to a sinking ship.

And for thirteen years I've said that you folks need to be able to go it alone on defense and I've been endlessly mocked because too many fools thought that it was impossible for the close relationship between the US and Canada to come to an end.

I've said that you people are always one Presidential election from having your happy little Utopia turned upside down.

And here we are.

We had a Presidential election that posed no threat to Canada yet your government went out of its way to insult, demean, and taunt candidate Trump and then President Trump.

And you really think even as much as closing the border with the USA will hurt the man's popularity here? If anything it'll make him more popular that ever. This guy PROSPERS in the midst of adversity.

Now you're faced with Canada being virtually shut out of the US market, your pot smokers can't travel here or do business here, and your irritating trade rep is mostly ignored in trade talks.

And your national defense is still a joke.

Yet some of you have the temerity to call the USA 'weak'.

Get with the program, Canada. Send a real man to the trade talks...like General Hillier who will have the respect and attention of Mike Pompeo. And then knock off this idiotic horsecrap of spending millions on plans for projects you're just going to cancel.

Build an actual military that your country can be proud of and that will make the US take you seriously and you'll have a much stronger position on trade.

But you won't.

Yup. The time has come to move toward Europe. They want and need our resources and if the USA is intent on being a bunch of twats I say "fantastic". Now we have an excuse to stop being infected by their BS politics, gun/media culture and destruction of the middle class.

What I really don't get is, even if Trump "thinks" we have no choice but to kowtow to their insane demands or they'll "destroy us" economically, he must know that we can never ever give in. Otherwise we tell the world we are open to be raped financially. We're infinitely better off eating whatever economic losses come from standing our ground, then rebuilding with more stable countries that don't have crazies in charge. Not that it will ever happen anyway. Trump loses congress and the senate if he screws over Canada. And once the next election happens anyway, congress is going to want a return to NAFTA. Time for a lame duck.

Quotes, or it didn't happen.

And yes, Bart, I've called you out on that before, so I know no such thing occurred.

Once again, you post information proven wrong.

You really should get yourself tested. No one did anything to "insult, demean, and taunt" Trump. Christ, the restraint we showed that guy is Biblical. And you can go stick your military BS up your ass. The ONLY country we have reason to fear at the moment is the USA. And that's a war not even Trump is insane enough to try.

And we're doing just fine. Close your borders, we don't care.



Why do you continue to push this lie?



The least popular President in the history of your Country. It's harder to drop lower than he already is....but he will prosper, and drop further.
