“Like Mexico, Canada remains open to deeper integration, including options for fortress North America in (certain) sectors. And to be clear, those offers are on the table,” said the prime minister.
The US is not a reliable partner. The less we deal with them the better.
Just look how we failed to honor commitment to Ukraine.
guys, calm down
do you think Carney is going to tell ol’donnie dingle dick anything to perturb him ahead of the negotiations?!
be pragmatic, keep your cards close, bluff and avert and misdirect and in the long game, the yanks are going to start killing each other en masse soon
stay strong hosers
like how he scrapped the digital services tax with nothing in return. Carney’s talk is all elbows up, but his actions are bend over and trousers down
nice tag lines, did PP give them to you while were trying to find his tiny pp
next you’ll be saying: “axe the tax” “suck the donnie dick” …
and my favourite: “lose the election”
scrapped the digital services tax
did PP give them to you
Of course, it is a young troll account cosplay as a USAsian 2 party system being rude all around.

This is honestly what I think people don’t understand about Carney. Hes not a fucking idiot, he’ll play the dumb game and give trump the stupid compliments to boost his ego and take what he can from the US.
Correct - this is because half of the population is below average intelligence, and are easily frightened, confused and mislead by manipulative assholes
stay strong hoser
We call them conservatives.
Their corrupted midterms seem like as good a kicking off point as anything else but we’ll see I guess.
yes, there wont be any more elections
we’ll see if that get the average corpulent yankee to shake off their fructose induced coma and take action
Sounds like a “Yes, we’d be open to it, but…” to me. I could say the same, however my list of buts would be very long.
“Fortress North America”
tf are we doing here??
I’m just imagining a sinking ship named Fortress North America.
I can’t help but view this as diplomatic double speak, given that in his “Forward Guidance” clip that came out like, last month, he was explicitly saying integrations with the USA are a weakness.
It’d be entirely consistent though, for him / his govts approach, to be open to working together on specific non-critical areas, and in commodity trading, similar to some of the other partnerships / trade relationships they’ve been building up. S’why there’s that (certain) sectors phrasing. “Sure, we’ll integrate our lumber industry more with yours, if you stop that softwood lumber bullshit you’ve been doing, fortress north america! Autos too, since I mean, it was already integrated before you started your bullshit, we’d be totally fine providing you with cheaper car manufacturing as a reliable partner you’ve had that sort of deal with for DECADES before Trump showed up and started burning your country to the ground – we’d happily go back to being in an ‘integrated’ setup for that too! Fortress North America, guarding our auto market from the evils of America First bullshit!”
I’d love to integrate with Canada but you guys really don’t want that, we’re full of stupid Nazis with short attention spans and that gets expensive to deal with
I’m not.
If China is a ‘strategic partner,’ then Canada should also be open to deeper integration with the US. Both are unreliable partners.
No, but yes. Trade sure, not integration of anything critical. They are indeed unreliable, but also belligerent, bellicose, volatile “partners”.
