Carney: The system of global trade anchored on the United States.. is over. Our old relationship of steadily deepening integration with the United States is over. The 80 year period when the United States embraced the mantle of economic leadership… is over.
I see so much of Chump’s drivel that I forget there are world leaders who can speak with clear, concise language.
Pretty surreal when you compare the 2, isn’t it?
Why couldn't we have Mark?
un-be-lievable!
Those words mean nothing- just a bunch of gibberish similar to what the Fed says
Must be nice living in Canada and having a real leader as opposed to the piece of human dogshit that’s in the White House now.
There will be better days ahead for your country. What we are witnessing from Trump is truly demented. I have to believe in a brighter future for you and the USA.
From your lips to God’s ears!
Yes, for now. That said, there's election looming & Trump mini-me "PP" still has a chance of winning. Plus, there is a fear of war from the orange slime ball. I stand with you, my American brother. You all deserve universal healthcare & end to being sucked dry by greedy billionaires. Rise up!
And of today carney has a 99 percent chance of winning and a 93 percent chance of forming a majority government. PP has a 1 percent chance of winning and zero chance of forming a majority. We are so lucky that carney popped up when he did. I can not imagine PP navigating this shit show
Carney had the advantage of incumbency. He’s not just auditioning for the job, he’s doing it. Every time he addresses the Canadian public and the world, he demonstrates that he is able to do the job. That said, we all need to vote like our lives depend on it. Because they do.
I sure hope there’s a debate! Not sure if PP can pivot past “VERB THE NOUN!”.
🇨🇦 Yup, except there are three and a half weeks to go, and that can be a long time in a campaign. Voters can't get complacent and take a Carney win for granted.
I find it hard to believe that Carney won't just completely roll Poilievre at the debate.
Hilariously Cons are posting that they can't wait for PP to take on Carney in the debate. This is going to be an epic takedown like no other.
Look to the US and what happened. Combating disinformation is key.
Except polls showed Harris and Trump neck and neck at best. The worst we can expect is a PP getting a slim minority and conservative government with a minority have always been brought down. That’s the glory of the Canadian system. We don’t need to impeach. We just vote down the budget
Let's hope so. I would very much like to see Europe and Canada being the forces for democracy in the world. Democracy and decency.
Yes and I think we have a chance. We need to ramp up investments in scientific research and build research labs at universities so we can attract the scientists from the USA. Then we have to build pharmaceutical production facilities.
EM🚀wants to interfere with your election. Don't let him 💪
It's not that easy to interfere in Canada. Our ballots are counted by hand, and there's limits on how much you can spend. Not fool proof but it's more difficult
Also shout out to Elections Canada, who set the boundaries of ridings in a non-partisan way!
Good point!
The boundary in Nepean was redrawn under Harper after PP was having difficulty getting urban support so I am. It sure how fair that was
It always seems to come back to Harper, Doesn't it?
That warms my heart 😏 Oh Canada 🇨🇦
We use paper ballots
We also keep our ballots so they can be hand counted
And the counting machines are not connected to the internet. My understanding is that results are loaded onto encrypted thumb drives and delivered to a central location in each riding but could be wrong
Ballots are not counted by hand.
It's the online propaganda that is the biggest risk, but still, Carney holding strong.
The propaganda bit are so apparent. There seems to be a glitch in their algorithm
Opinion pieces from National Post & others can be very provocative - I've noticed this online from the comments. It's important to not engage, or take it w/a grain of salt.
Let’s remember that Conrad black who still carries a lot of weight with the NP was pardoned by Trump. Let’s also remember that Trump never does anything for anyone without getting something in return. This could be Black paying his debt
Yeah, that's the big issue but so far it's not working.
You are right we can not be complacent but worst case scenario we end up with a conservative minority which won’t last a year before the government falls to a non confidence vote which seems to be the norm for con minorities
Except the Harper government minorities. He managed to win two minorities (2006 and 2008) before a majority government in 2011. Years I want to forget....
I stand corrected
I understand the wishful thinking that a Con minority gov't would only last a year.😜 And if Poilievre were PM, that might be the case (hopefully). Harper was, unfortunately, quite savvy, in playing the parties off against each other & keeping power for 10 years. Shudder.
It should be a given but you’re absolutely right unfortunately. The last thing the world needs is another bullshit, corrupt government.
While this is encouraging we must all get out and VOTE to ensure that PP doesn't win as polls don't vote.
These polls cannot be trusted. They are a form of voter suppression where people get comfy and think they don’t need to go out and vote. The only poll that matters is the result on April 28th.
You are correct but as it stands the aggregate polls have him winning in a landslide. Even if the polls were wrong the worst we could do is a conservative minority which is much better than what we were looking at a month ago
Don’t forget to vote! And bring along another voter!
And I get to vote directly for carney
I’m angry as hell but I am glad Canada is looking at our American stupidity as a real warning. I don’t know how our relationship gets restored. Unbelievable that we’ve done this.
Thank you ☺️ 🇨🇦 . I think at this point USA has become a cautionary tale for the rest of the world…. You will elect the correct leader to navigate the 💩 show of trump antagonizing Canada with idiotic 51st state comments. Canadians are smart & have fight in their hearts for their country.
Not really yet. Feeling very afraid of the future
I confirm.
It is
Oi, don't insult dogshit.
My wife said the same thing; you’re right.
You had a chance with Kamala. Would have been 1,000% better
Don’t I know it. I canvassed for her.
It’s over. It’s not me, it’s totally YOU.
👊🇨🇦
I wish this guy was our president instead of the orange idiot.
I admire Prime Minister Carney! I had the chance to listen to him speak before he was voted in as the leader of the libera leader. He is remarkable.
*liberal party* ugh I wish we could edit lol
And all because of egg prices.
I thought it was because of the 3 trans people who wanted to participate in women's sports.
Oh! I forgot about the three trans people. Sorry, guys. Or were there 4 trans people?🤔
We can thank the felon & his sidekick for ruining our good standing with our allies. The felon doesn’t care about allies. Why is that so, is it because he’s got other plans? The republicans are just sucking up to him so hard hoping to cash in also. Together they are trying to destroy America!
WAS wird eigentlich nach Trump....??? Er macht ja quasi alles kaputt...wie kann man verlorengegangenes Vertrauen wieder gewinnen??Dieser orangene böse Clown muss weg....
He simply likes causing chaos. Like all sociopaths. Politically strategically, what he is doing, makes- apart from installing fascism on a fast lane- not really sense.
Nailed it! That’s the thing with a malignant narcissist. He wants attention, it matters not whether it is praise or derision as long as all the attention is on him. Shallow, weak, pathetic man-child.
Why is a decent leader nowhere to be found in Amerikkka? Because the elections are totally corrupt.
Canada has some things that could be reformed in the election system. But the absolute fairness in jurisdiction boundaries and voting from anywhere are two things I love about Canada. We do not have jerrymandering here, election boundaries are reviewed every 10 years by an independent body.
More information about the April 5 national day of action. handsoff2025.com?utm_source=s...
I can’t believe people haven’t embraced the ideas of Bernie, and yet he works tirelessly to try to drill into people’s heads what a rotten deal Americans are being dealt. Americans could be so much better off financially and health wise. Let’s wake up
👍💯💯💯
FOOK
It is heartbreaking for real Americans to hear this. We desperately don't want this, and we don't want trump. We know there's no other way for Canada to deal with this menace. Remember Canada, there are sane people in America; we didn't do this. Hoping our relationship can be put right again.
We did it. One-third voted for it and one-third did not care enough to show up. That means only one-third took steps to prevent this and that is nowhere close to a majority.
Yep. Even if Trump were gone tomorrow and replaced with somebody sane, every world leader sees how quickly that can change. Why would anyone ever trust us again?
That is exactly it!
I agree. Very very unfortunate. But please don’t negotiate with Donald Trump – he’s a megalomaniac.
Less than 4 months is all it took for 47 to kill our economy and international relations.
und DAS ist tragisch!!!!
Hitler destroyed Germany in 56 days.
Less than 3 months.
I blame the orange clown less than the fuckers who voted him in
The orange clown has been a kgb tool since the 1980s. I blame these all and the slow hands of justice.
Don't forget the people who are meant to be the "checks and balances" who're capitulating to his demands in the House and Senate.
Finally a leader that is telling the truth to his people. It's sad but true, the American Empire is in decline.
I think "in decline" is in the wrong tense.
Now is the time for Mexico and Canada to strike trade deals with the countries listed in our tariffs list. Isolate the US economically. We asked for it.
I suspect that we're going to see the best and the brightest leaving as they can get out. Job offers overseas, transfers, whatever. I don't think I would sell our house, but I would definitely rent it out and take off for a while. Except that I hate the thought of running. I'd rather throw rocks
Canada's offering jobs to top American professors, doctors, tech people, etc and has just gained 3 Yale professors due to Trump. economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/interna...
I'd stay and fight, or rent out, come to Canada and fight from here (on line that is!)
Saying this all day everyday…Stand strong CANADA 🇨🇦 …you’ve still got all your🏀🏀’s…don’t let DJT take them!
How they must be celebrating in Moscow and Beijing. The stupidest thing I ever saw in my life, including Brexit.
The US oligarchs have not only surrendered to Russia, they've surrendered to China which is the new leader of the global market due to trickle-down economics, globalization & Trump's tariffs. They've done this to protect their own profits for a short time while sacrificing the good of America.
Hopefully Canada will soon offer asylum to Americans seeking escape from an oppressive .gov
I would love that, but we are literally MILLIONS of housing units short💀
NP, I can bring my tent.
Maybe you guys have some military tents we could stay in if trump really does decide to start invading people. I sure as shit won’t be answering the draft calling on me to attack our friends. I’d be signing up with you guys in a heartbeat.
To be honest, as a Canadian it's a bit scary to hear PM Carney speak those words, especially "is over". But he's right to be straightforward and honest, because it'd do us harm if he sugarcoated it or downplayed the grave damage Trump's done to US-Canadian relations. Truth is empowering. #ElbowsUp
How can any country consider doing serious business with a jackass so mental he placed tariffs on a remote island populated with only penguins!
That wasn't even the dumbest one. Deigo Garcia is a British overseas territory, home to nothing and no one but an American airforce base.
To US-everyone but Russia relations.
As an American I predicted this would come the moment Trump started messing with tariffs. Not with Canada specifically but with all of trumps tariff targets would learn to do business without the United States. It’s like the classroom bully wondering why no one wants to play with them
I’m interested to see how the federal election in Canada is going. One good thing is that Trump may have ruined the Tories chances of winning control.
Polls show Carney way ahead, but we don’t trust polling. There’s a lot of concern about disinformation during the campaign and what Musk might try to pull. A petition was sent to Elections Canada to shut down X, but it never got anywhere.
I don't trust polling, either. It can lull voters into inaction, thinking they don't have to vote because polls show their party and PM candidate ahead. Some Canadian polls are tied if one accounts for the margin of error. Canadians need to mobilize and vote Liberal to keep PM Carney.
Yeah polls are just that. But I’m hoping Canadians are motivated to go vote and know how to do so. Have a plan.
I don’t think trumps actions are helping the Tories though. See what he does and associate that with them. I think it’s a fair comparison.
Of course it is, also to us in Europe. But we must face reality. And stand together. 🇨🇦🇪🇺
Absolut!!!👍
There is no good way to close the coffin lid on a friend. At some point you just have to do it and get it overwith.
It is scary, but if Trump and republicans keep pushing for dictatorship and if the courts don’t hold the line, the US will be our foe for quite some time and we need to expand our trading umbrella
The Democrats should propose a bill directing that all the revenue from the Trump tariffs should first go to all of the displaced workers who will suffer due to the tariffs, instead of the billionaires and oligarchs.
But how would that help billionaires? 🤦♂️
That man is GOOD!
Carney actually has a great background in finance and experience, unlike the entire WH of racist, misogynist fools. I’m enjoying getting to know Canadian politics.
Love Carney. He was a solid BoE Governer in the UK. Don't forget how he turned the Canadian economy around when he was governor of the Bank of Canada. He'll eat Trump alive on the economy.
Some of this dumb cabinet has finance experience, but they are blinded by the cult so they neglect logic. They wanted "Atlas Shrugged" but they are going to get "Brave New World" as the USA becomes the Savage Lands amusement park ( #Florida & #Texas are already close).
“… while this is a tragedy …” #TrumpTragedy #TrumpTax
Trump is not serious about tariffs. He expects world leaders to kiss his ass, pretend to negotiate a deal while they find a way to pay him off. Its just a fucking shakedown’
He may be surprised by how few people are willing to kiss the ring.
The rest of the world has… the rest of the world to deal with. The US is excluding itself but President Trump thinks (ha) the US is too important. Massive humiliation incoming.
The best part about orgthing is he always fails. The hard part is apparently the wait.
Hard to hear, but true. youtu.be/izljanGbnDA
...yeah.
Traitor Trump is hell bent on destroying America's economy and the Republicans who know this are too cowardly to stand up and tell him to stop, and to legislate to make him stop! With that said, take a look at my art and chill out a little..... www.allabenfinearts.com
💔
Take me Canada!! Take me and my family PLEASE!
Probably should look at their immigration requirements.
This sounds like a guy with a degree in economics who knows what he’s talking about and what he’s doing.
The United States is over.
America is a heartbreaker.
Carney. You are doing the absolute right things for Canada. Those of us who are sane here in the US understand. But it breaks our hearts. And we already miss you Canada, our dear friend.
This is so profound, and depressing. 😵💫
🤷🏼♀️😭
Trump is killing America’s economic dominance. The 80 year old system is being challenged in ways not seen since WWII. Trump’s policies are accelerating a shift to a fragmented global economy, where the U.S. will no longer be the uncontested leader.
This hurts my heart We must stop this It's go time
Sadly, he’s doing the right thing. Just keep reminding your Canadian friends that most of us still love + respect Canada.
We don’t care. We want you to fix your shit, not be sorry. “Sorry” is our thing and we’re sorry that we’re about to hurt a bunch of Americans really badly. And we’re sorry that we have to do it knowing full well that this is EXACTLY what Trump wants.
I didn’t say “sorry.” I said “sadly.” I register people to vote. I belong to many orgs that fight voter suppression. I donate and support and protest and all of it. US RW media is now larger than middle/left.
Keep in mind that 90 million people didn’t vote. And Elon Musk spent $288 million getting his Twitter trolls to vote for Trump. $45 million was spent on getting Dems to NOT vote.
We know. Time for excuses is over. We’ve all heard them.
Dude, we agree. The only way the dumbasses who voted for Trump (rich and poor) will ever learn or move aside is if they feel real pain. I’m saying, bring it on.
I’m not arguing with you either.
You’re kind of yelling at people who are drowning to swim faster.
I’m sorry you feel personally attacked. It’s kinda like .. if your husband beats the dog. You’ve told him to stop but you don’t actually do what’s necessary to stop him. Since we’re using dumb metaphors now
Are you not seeing the pushback then?
Your “pushback” is standing and talking for 24hrs. Blowing smoke on Social media platforms. Explaining how it happened. We know , don’t care, heard it.
From a large portion of the country?
Time to tune them out. They're well-meaning, but like many during the W admin who did not get the first victims of AQ/Taliban were the vulnerable in *their own countries*, a lot of people outside the US right now are failing to see the internal environment we face. It's ok. We keep working anyway ❤️
Yes, we do! 💪 (Funny how high 5 guy didn’t respond when presented with the truth.)
Cuz I don’t care. You elected a bully. How, why, doesn’t matter, you got one. Canada doesn’t do bullies. We’re gonna fuck some shit up. We’re gonna hurt a whole bunch of ppl that didn’t ask for it. We’ll probably get hurt worse, but we’re not gonna take it in the ass like America did
That’s misdirected anger - you think we all put him in office. Enough already. Mute.
I'm in line to fuck shit up too. People are arming up. It's gonna get crazy AF down here. Thank you for having our backs. We are going to work like hell to make sure you never have to face this. Loving Carney's fire!
Yeah, I don't think they're trying to be mean. I get why they're freaking out up there. But down here, it's like: a madman is pointing a gun at my head. Yes, he is also threatening to shoot *you*, but I can’t save *you* (🇨🇦) until he's no longer trying to kill *me*. It's a bad situation all around.
You have a bully. Your leaders failed to stop the bully. Your bully turned his sights toward us. We don’t tolerate intolerance. We’re gonna fight your bully, no more excuses,no more explanations.
Put your oxygen mask on first and help others! (That guy has an anger issue.)
Why did 90-million eligible voters not vote? And of those who did vote, and voted blue, what percentage of them did all they could to get people to the polls? Trump has always been an existential threat, which was especially apparent after January 6th. His reelection is such an epic failure.
There has been a 50 year Repub push of gerrymandering, voter suppression, RW news escalation, + disenfranchisement that culminated in 2016 + 2024. Add tech bro takeover + fatigue, + Nixon retaliation. Most didn’t see it. “American Exceptionalism” is what ruined American exceptionalism.
Add the kicker: Reagan brought in the fundamentalists in the 80’s (used to be separation of church/state). They formed megachurches (Ponzi schemes) which merged Trump as a political leader AND a holy leader. RW can’t separate the two. “American Exceptionalism” let people believe “we’re fine.”
For anyone else listening: when Obama won his 2nd term, GOP hired consultants who said, “You’re not a big tent party (racist). Open your doors.” The GOP doubled down on racism/misogyny, knowing they could only win by cheating. And here we are.
Sorry my countrymen lashed out at you. We're just so angry (angrier than I've ever seen) and forget ourselves sometimes. We know we are the favourite country of Americans. We really do want to live together in security and prosperity. But You have to fix You. We can't do the work for both of us.
We Canadians do know this isn’t on most Americans. Alaska stood up for us today. That was nice to see.
🥰 I totally get it. I just got tired of the other guy screaming at the hostages.
It’s hard because many are so angry. And in disbelief too. I feel for everyone all this is gonna hurt & that’s people all over the world & in the US too.
Absolutely right. 😢
I’ve lost family members over Trump and Musk.
Absophuquinglutely
And not a day too soon - good riddance to that rotten violent depraved nation
Whoa... Tens of millions of Americans didn't ask for this.
Sad, sad, sad day
So sorry Americans have become so stupid I don't get it myself I'm American I hate to even call myself that cuz it's embarrassing & shameful please do what you have to do to stay a Democracy cuz America is ruined nobody cares that it's ruined everybody's just letting it go down the drain
Thanks to the Republican party we are now the enemy of the entire world except Russia. They have been working towards the downfall of the United States for decades. Guess they finally got their wish.
Trump had Elon Musk help rig the election and admitted it basically multiple times. Many people are starting to see that. But I'm wondering what will happen when people have nothing left to lose...
I think we already know the answer to that. Push enough people? Take away enough? There's nothing stopping them from pushing back. They're going to remember just WHY the second amendment exists. And they'll use it. Cause they have nothing left to lose now. Why would they not?
The only thing that will accomplish is giving him total authority & he will use the military against civilians. It’ll result in a slaughter & cement his dictatorship. Rifles & handguns wont beat predator drones & A-10 aircraft. The majority of military personnel are maga w/ no issues killing libs
You guys are acting like the military is going to do what orange mongrel says... The military has recently been put in a vulnerable position because of Republicans. Signal chat remember? They're pissed no doubt. They're not going to do anything to us. Stop with he fucking paranoia. Enough pathetic
They don’t care because they are loyal MAGA they don’t even believe it happened it’s just another liberal lie.
Let him it'll just give people reason to see that no one in govt cares about us. I mean, I did see an EO he will use April 20th... Hitler birthday. Insurrection act.
What people the ones in work camps or the dead because the few that aren’t either of those will be in hiding & won’t be doing anything but surviving.
Especially as I'm neurodivergent and a lesbian
So you’ll get to go to the Farm Camp for reprogramming & labor therapy. Enjoy
Can you stop the fucking Doom and gloom? We're not going anywhere. They can try to fucking force us but it won't happen!
So you think civilians can overthrow the government with their rifles & handguns? And that’s a great idea? You’re just a stupid as they are if you think that’s remotely possible.
The resistance can nonviolently overthrow the dictator by finding the point of leverage, and by creating a situation that inspires even his most ardent supporters to say, "I can't take it anymore. This guy is a loser/clown/ monster. Nope. I'm out of here."
We will eventually repair relationships though it will never be the same. Much of the world was pissed at us when we murdered a million people in Iraq and I swear it's like no one remembers. It was so bad that they gave Obama a Nobel Peace Prize for being elected. lol!
Kruschev openly told the world they would do this...long game.
What a glorious ending to the Cold War
Im sorry Canada.
In a way, the tariffs themselves are not the whole issue. The damage is done. Trump has pissed off the rest of the world with this. Well, apart from maybe Russia.
Yes unfortunately. Just trying to stand up and stop Something
YES!!!Trump destroy everything!!!
Even if Dems win in 2028, these erratic whiplashes obviously aren't good for long-term confidence and trust in steadiness. The whole "Fool me once..." adage here.
oh it's gone, this will take decades to fix (if at all).
I think one day it will be fixed. But you’re right…it’s going to be a very, very, very long time.
For as long as I have left on this earth I will not travel to America or buy anything American.
me too 👍
Yep. The only chance we have to get it fixed in our lifetimes is if Trump, Musk and their goons all get locked up for the rest of their lives, and the rest of the Republican Party is dismantled. We need to prove to the world that we are willing to work to prevent this from happening again.
You will need much much deeper reforms, because at some point, it really does fall back on the American people. I recognize how much people have fought against this, but massive ground has been lost.
Time for the other democracies to put the Felon tRump ‘regime’ in it’s place! Bury him!
The world should embark on economic upturn without the US. Just my 2 c.
Yikes. WTF is trump thinking?
😥
My PM. So proud. ❤️ 🇨🇦
All because of a feckin self-described "stable genius" conman grifter snake oil salesman who doesn't know his head from his arse. The same guy who's declared bankruptcy y times & bankrupted a casino. Feckin pathetic
He would not be where he is without the support of millions of Americans - and Republicans. Trump is not alone unfortunately.
His base is small now. 50 percent of voters vote for him. Thats actual 30 percent off all american voters.
There is no reason to think that the people who did not vote would have changed the outcome. People who say that this is not America are wrong: this is America…
Then get your gutless Congress to answer to their constituents instead of to the billionaires.
Sadly the 2024 election saw the highest turn out ever of voters the only other highest turn out was in 2020! Which means that america is a racist country and on top of that a sexist one too!
It always had been.. Check the history of KochNetwork and how they infiltrated into every segment of society . Democrats have been the bulwark and righted the ship each time Republicans attempted to sink it. Russian style propaganda spread by Finkelstein, Bannon, Dugin, Yarvin are killing the USA.
Cautiously vibin until "we are masters in our own home". Watch for fleas, my friends
And received his Order of Canada from conservative Prime Minister Harper
Didn't you see PP trying to make a pizza... and drop it?
He also could not figure out how to boil water
Well, trump wanted America First/America Alone. MAGA agreed because they believe that the USA can exist on this planet without any other country. Well, we are finding out that not only is trump not a good businessman, but does not care about us.
America alone. America weak.
And yet most people in America still pretend the old system’s alive and well. Denial runs deep.
Love 🩵🩵🩵 Canada.
Statesmanship. Just when we thought it had died forever.
Sad but true. I remember an argument with a trump supporter pre election where they were telling me Dems were destabilizing the dollar, making it so it would no longer be the world's reserve currency. I think they misunderstood exactly who was planning to do this.
I wish it wasn't true, but a third of the people in the United States just does not and doesn't want to understand what this means.🤦♂️
Two thirds - the third that voted for a turd, and another third that didn't vote at all.
Thanks for reminding me, I wasn't thinking about the ones that didn't vote.
Just can't understand it, greetings from europe 🇪🇺. What on earth happened there???😬
Greetings from Vermont, l don't understand it either. Seems like a lot of people over here are playing a game of chicken.
They are still in denial. These are the people we leave behind when we go into survival mode.
Smfh. This sucks
This isn't bafflegab, folks. This is an ex-banker talking. Not a grifting egomaniac.
😑😖
Stark. A new (and hopefully bette) world order is happening now. Thank you Trump 🙏
You’re insane.
In you’re opinion maybe 🤔
It is also my “opinion” that you don’t know how to spell.
Yes. Spelling, punctuation, grammar, syntax...all very difficult concepts for MAGA. 🤣🤣🤣
Apparently, not a US citizen.
??
In other words.... "We must untether ourselves from this sinking stone, and fucking FAST."
💔💔💔🤬🤬🤬🤬💔🤬💔🤬
Carney has run two different central banks and done well. He knows how incompetent and corrupt Trump is.
Carney doesn't have the final say on the matter.
Wonder if there was insiders trading with any of the president's billionaire cabinet.
👍
Prime Minister Carney, I am so glad that you're stepping up to fill the leardership void that Trump has abandoned as leader of the free world. At the same time I am saddened by the loss of that role, and the loss of you, our neighbor, friend, ally, for forever it seems.
2. We as Americans have lost so much during this regime, but I can't think of a finer, more, honorable man than you, Mr. Prime Minister to take on this leadership role. We the decent, sane Americans still , love, and support our Canadian friends. May God Bless you. Viva la Canada!!
dunno about anyone else, but I'm more inclined to listen to the guy with a pedigree in economics, that a clown.
✅
To America's trading partners and all allies--a heartfelt message from Uncle Sam: "Trust me! This is going to hurt me a lot more than it'll hurt you!" ..... Uh... truth be told. 🤦♂️ i.etsystatic.com/16060308/r/i...
So sad to see everything breaking and being gummed up. Hope we can re-establish relations with our alies, once the filthy rotten liar is gone.
Not breaking, evolving.
It is clear that the 'Mastermind' behind the destruction of the U.S. is Vladimir Putin. He has been dedicated to this since the moment the Soviet Union collapsed. It is very clear that every move by the current U.S. regime is focused on making the U.S. a Russian satellite. Putin can taste success!!!
Just the natural outcome of our capitalist system and the neoliberal project. That’s the uncomfortable truth that we in the United States don’t want to acknowledge.
Yeah, you all have no blame at all. Its all Putin lol
All Empires come to an end. The US Empire is collapsing 👍
Having a world renowned economist lead our country is what will ensure Canada’s success. I hope people realize this on April 28th and elect to keep him.
Trudeau made a pre planned perfect chess move. I never underestimated him. Trudeau only wants the best for our Canada ! 🇨🇦
He always did, like his father, he loves this country.
Yes he does. 🇨🇦 ❤️
Must be Nice Please be observant of all Musk & PayPal Mafia interference tactics. They & the other tech bros are why we are living under the #trumpRegime nightmare we find ourselves in within < 3 months! Be Vigilant Canada! We love you
We don’t elect individuals to run the country, we elect a political party. Eg: I will not have Carney on the ballot I cast because I’m not in his riding. And no foreign money is allowed to be accepted
Thank you
We have super strict election finance laws and our elections last a little over a month. Not a ton of time for funny business. Hopefully they’re too busy putting out their own arson fires at home right now.
Good news Thank you
Genuinely jealous of our northern neighbors.
I truly wish he could be the leader of the U.S. as well. He is incredibly solid and confidence-inspiring. We have no one like him.
Carney is essential for Canada right now. He is respected around the world. Canada has a choice right now to step up on the world stage or to follow the US in disasterous decisions. I hope we make the right choice at the polls.
I mailed in my vote for LPC from Europe. Fingers crossed.
Thank you!
Thank-you for voting!
A leader who is actually serious. How novel.
We had one from 2020 to 2024. We could have had another one. Sigh.
Correct. Our attention spans grow shorter and shorter with the inundation of news, but never forget how corporate media only focused on Biden’s age in 2024 while a convicted felon trotted back into power. They’re complicit. They wanted the ratings.
And ignored that DT is the oldest man ever to be sworn in as US President - older than Biden was!
We need to impeach the orange clown. Get with it America
As hard as that would be, it's still easier than rooting out the rot. There's a whole line of worse, and younger, guys right behind him. We need to re-assert the Constitution and Bill of Rights and lock up the jackasses who think they can reshape the country in their own hateful ways.
Canada is so lucky to have him.
The US voted in someone who bankrupted multiple CASINOS - humanity can be pretty dumb.
The rest of the world should decouple from US and engage in free trade. Canada, EU, UK, Australia, Japan, South Korea should form own defense pact and co-operate in producing the necessary military hardware.
Starmer is too busy bowing and scraping before Trump to look to others. They seem committed to a one-alliance economy, even as the rest of us recognize that is no longer possible.
Japan and South Korea should work towards resolving their differences with China. Neither Europe nor the other countries can offer any real assistance in the event of any armed conflict. It would also be sensible for Australia to change course. Just look at Ukraine
If something like this is going to happen, Burkini Faso, Mali, and Niger must be included. Don’t leave out critical African nations that are importantly pulling away from the burden of colonialism.
I have been saying this. Canada needs to connect with African nations. The world will be better when we work together.
When the massive job loss during the NAFTA 1989-94 change was managed by Jean Chretien, 2 of his economic decisions, Canada was able to avoid major fiasco’s-eg retrain workers; avoided big bank failure in 2007 bc his economic moves, make certain you have a whiz accountant as you ascend to the top.
At this rate, the Liberals will even win in Alberta. Esp if their oil revenues go down. I’ve never seen Canada so united.
It's beautiful, isn't it?✌️❤️🇨🇦
Don't jinx them. 🤭
😩sorry sorry sorry
2 months. That's all the time it took.
Great to see Carney visibly drawing a line in the sand. Those words are true. Elbows up!!!👍👍
Don't blame the citizens. Half of us knew what a loser he is, the other half has been lied to and brainwashed.
Sorry, but 6.5 million who voted against DT in 2020 couldn't be bothered to vote at all in 2024. I do blame citizens who voluntarily give up the primary right of citizenship. Shame.
Pretty sure other countries will still sell us stuf.
Trump and his minions made the mistake of thinking the USA has leverage over the entire planet.... and attempting to take advantage of said imagined leverage by way of economic warfare. They're about to get slapped with a masterclass on how 21st century global economics actually works.
We here in 🇪🇺 are with you! The stars and stripes...🤨
Thank Trumusk and all those who have supported him and his sick greedy childish traitor to our country!
The incredible irony of this speech is that it is almost word for word what Putin has been saying for years now. Since 1991, the US has always bullied Russia and treated them without respect or sovereignty, and he finally said “enough.” Now Europe feels a fraction of that bullying for the first time
Now since Canada birthed a complete industry (Justin Trudeau will have my undying gratitude) We can embrace it, support it, and save an incredible amount of money in our public healthcare system. Just like alcohol, prohibition does not work and only ends once. I am happy making ethical money
Sad day for America, the world is moving on.
Sobering. Reality. Somebody in the U.S. needs to catch a clue...
Best we can do is real house wives of Atlanta.
Truly a self-inflicted wound by America. I never thought that “of the people, by the people” wound wind up meaning this.
...and that's the *good* news...
Good job owning the libs, MAGA. 🤦🏻♀️
The United States is over, although it will take some time to disintegrate.
Thanks to Dummy Don and Elon. I don't blame Canada or any of the rear of the world. Our country is full of treacherous bigots and our government has proven, from both sides, how deep the corruption runs.
Rear = rest. My phone is making it up.
F the millions who voted for this POS administration & FU to the millions of non voters. And a big FU to MSM who abandoned their jobs & integrity for ratings & money. The world community wants MAGA = Make America Go Away.
😭
This is so sad. IMPEACH TRUMP!
Maybe Canada can suggest to the United States that they should become a Canadian province? Might be worth posing to the USA's Chief Clown.
We don't want them.
No. We have enough BS coming out of Alberta
Too late. I want nothing to do with that shit show. Now I am willing to negotiate the inclusion of a few specific states in exchange for a specific province
Nah. Alberta is Canadas land and resources. We can exchange people and ship them down and some up. It’s not the land we need to divvy up it’s the people. Insane people who are bigots go south. Sane democratic people come north.
Yes Alberta is First Nations land so Alberta doesn’t get to take the land when they leave. Those calling for separation don’t seem to know how this works
I’m so glad the First Nations in Alberta stepped up to say Alberta is going nowhere and certainly not to the USA under anyone’s watch essentially.
A brave man. He could replace Trudeau appropriately.
Donald Trump is a genius - I just saw a bunch of coal-miner kids aged 5-8 start their own spoon factory!
During the Mao Cultural Revolution, there was an effort to increase steel production. Every small village in the countryside created domestic furnaces. Millions of people died as a result.
From polluting emissions.
The Cultural Revolution was launched to end the "old ideas, old practices, old culture and old..." etc. fueling the cycles of extreme violence that had killed off 70+ million in the previous 150 years. Chinese society is now more stable, equitable and prosperous than at any time since 1800.
But, living in China probably feels like living in a Black Mirror episode .. no economy can make that sit right with me .. ever.
This is like a reverse Herb Brooks speech
He’s so good at this. I wish Starmer was watching and learning, and then joining Carney and the EU in forging a new prosperity that doesn’t depend on that evil man-child idiot in the White House.
A few months of trump fucked up 80 years of frendship. I say fuck trump, Canada stays.
And it'll never ever be like it was. Even if we somehow manage to elect someone new in four years, we can't be trusted that it won't happen again.
From Europe: indeed, it will take a long time for trust to be rebuilt.
They'd have to develop a conscience and a Germany-post-WWII level of guilt and we both know Americans are to American to un-American themselves to that level.
Nope, I'm pretty sure they thought it was a fluke but that we had learned.
We're stunned. Especially by the 6.5 million who voted against DT in 2020 who didn't bother to vote at all in 2024.
Exactly that, the whole world knows without a doubt that the majority of American people are lacking in both intelligence and compassion.
We're already gone. 🍁
The end of the USA as the global leader
It isn’t just Canada who states this!!!!! We are the world pariah behind only the shittiest dictators in the world. However, he will likely take over that spot!!
Carney is admired worldwide for his financial skills with a history of saving economies during crisis. Canada is fortunate to have him. Trump is a fool.
Very Canadian of you to call him a fool. Sorry I cannot be as polite, he’s a fucking moron and the biggest douchebag ever.
Well, I have called him that, too😅
Lol
Could we borrow Carney for a few months. We will try to send the orange guy on a golf tour around the world.
Your crisis is MAGA. An ideology. Carney can't help you with that.
Don't get too confident. Canada has an election to win against Poilievre.
I am more positive than confident. We do have a fighting chance though.
MAGAts need deprograming, as long as Fox News and Newsmax and all those far right wing shit rags that exist. It’s never gonna happen.
Sadly, you are spot on! Sending apologies from a sane American.🫶🏼
Bang on!
No. Sorry, but again, NO.
Nope
He's not welcome, any where else. 😒 😑 😔
Even during the clusterfuck of Brexit Carney was considered to be a measured voice.
Yes, the people praised him for his steady guidance through a scary time. It was Carney on the news calming them, not their government.
Ha ha. The revolving psychodrama of that Tory government was the last thing you'd think of as steady.
Absolutely, but 47 is making the Tory’s look competent! Wow!
While Russia and North Korea are laughing their asses off... No, that's not it, he has shown total incompetence.
You can be sure the citizens of Russia and North Korea are not laughing their asses off. They live miserable horrible lives, unless they have tons of money.
Over 50% are nations that have a poverty line much lower than Russia and North Korea. Why RUSSIA and NORTH KOREA were not included ????.? It's a shame ..... Algeria,Angola,Bangladesh,Botswana,Cambodia,Cameroon,Chad,Ivory Philippines Jordan Guinea Guyana Indonesia Iraq Laos
Carney lives Canada first unlike that scum Pollieve
breachmedia.ca/hypocritical...
Stand by!!!
Fair play to Mark Carney. He has not shied away from calling a spade a spade. Other world leaders take note. There’s no point being polite to someone who is constantly disrespecting you.
Carney is being so much more polite than I would be. That machine that bleeps out cuss words would be smoking if I were Prime Minister.
Yep. I’m from Italy, and our PM needs to wake the fuck up and see reality for what it is. I’m so sick of her.
Hubby still stands in disbelief that she got in.
Right wing politicians everywhere are going to realize that backing the Orange Thing is a mistake. It has likely cost our Conservative Party in Canada their victory. PP is trying hard to backtrack
Is he? He can't or won't stand up to Danielle Smith. Hard to imagine him being tougher on DT.
They won’t learn. They will just find a way to cheat
Well, they won't change, more like they regret that the leopard ate their faces
Let the leopards feast
FAFO.
It's SO over. The nitwitted,adjudicated rapist and convicted felon put tariffs on a remote island inhabited only by penguins, for God's sake.
Penguins are woke and won't give up their DEI. Or something. I'm sure there's a good reason for 10% penguin tariffs.
It’s because they’re both black AND white I guess 
I laughed out loud….penguin tariffs!!! Good one.
It's the whole joining of black and white thing... makes them nervous.
Penguins wear a tux better than Trump.
They are smarter than his supporters
That’s what I was going to say If the penguins would just choose. Or find a spray tan booth
I'm sure there are *females* among them 😱
Good. It’s time. Power corrupts, and America has become corrupted
Yes, you did, Orange Thing. But you also united Canada and ruined your Maple MAGA Ally's easy victory. Thanks 👍
Maybe a coordinated selling of 1/2 the US treasury bonds and agency debt held by central banks of tariffed countries would send a message to Trump. It sure would to the US mortgage market and borrowers.
Build ourselves strong With the assets we have
So will the yuan or the ruble be the next dominant currency?
This is the man to look to for leadership of the free world. Extremely grateful to Canada for recognising his tremendous qualities.
this makes me so sad. unbelievably sad. the whole thing is so pointless. i just don't understand why congress is sitting there with their thumbs up their asses while the guy with dementia is running the WORLD into the ground. wtf is wrong with them, i will NEVER understand or forgive.
And we have Trump and his sycophants to thank for this. It could take generations to repair what this bully and his disciples have accomplished in 2 1/2 months.
Meanwhile, Russia is celebrating the collapse of America.
I still believe it was his direct order to F47.
Canada, the sane people of these United States of America are still your friends. Please don't forget that. One day, this orange shit stain and his ill will be gone.
Will he? Seems like America is just rolling over for him.
The actuarial tables don't lie.
Sure, but our economic and intelligence alliance is over. We can't trust you to vote intelligently every 4 years, and we cannot build our country around that. You're the neighbour we wave to, or throw water on a fire for. That's it.
Sadly, I agree and don't blame you.
And we deserve that.
Yup. Economies and partnerships need certainty, not whimsy and fickleness, let alone volatility and revenge plots.
This really sucks
So bloody sad.
And TFG left to play golf......
At this point it's probably for the best, America is a hot mess
you just were assigned to Canada you want to talk big against USA? Hold an election and then spout about your wadded panties.
We’re in the middle of an election now - we vote on April 28. Do try to keep up.
Can we make the Canadian dollar the worldwide currency now? USA doesn't want to be part of the big wide world.
No, we need a synthetic trading currency or a basket that is not overweighted to the USD. You could do worse than read Carney's Jackson Hole speech available online and his book called Value(s).
💔💔💔💔💔💔💔
Canadians will always be here to support Americans. We don't support fascist regimes. 90% of Canadians hate Trump. 9 % dislike him 1% are ok.with him. That 1% would not be happy when fascism impacts their lives
This is the leadership every country needs. Stand up to the US, it’s no longer our friend.
Pretty sad when we have to look to another country for sane leadership. But I am thankful for Mr. Carney.
😬 rip economy
He’s 100% correct. The USA’s reputation is now trashed. I’m not sure most Americans realise this yet and the impact it’s going to have on them. Who would trust anything agreed with the USA again?
Generations of Americans have been fed propaganda their whole lives about American exceptionalism. They truly believe that America doesn't need to worry about other countries, diplomacy is an annoyance to them.
Genuine question for anyone in the USA who supports Trump’s tariff policy. Given he’s already reneged on deals he himself struck with Canada & Mexico in his first term, what possible reason would any country have to justify seeking a deal with such an unreliable partner?
The magot supporters do not see the bigger picture,no country now will not want to trade with the US as the 🍊💩s word means nothing.
They have no clue how interconnected all the countries are. No understanding of global economies and their healthy reliance on each other.
That’s why they “love the uneducated”
You shouldn't while Trump is president but also, pay attention to the details. He put tariffs on some specific things but at the end of the day he relented and Canada only has a 1% tariff on the rest of goods and he just said a few hours ago he's open to removing all the tariffs. He's a bully.
No tariff for Russia though. My point is who would trust such an unreliable partner? Today it’s Trump, tomorrow it could be some other idiot. Perhaps I am ill informed but USA democratic systems don’t appear to have any system to constrain and control such insane behaviour.
what i have learned is that congress could stop this, but they won't =l
I have read this too. It almost makes it even worse that something could be done by someone, but it won’t. Madness.
Well, there are a few points. Republicans control both chambers of Congress. For a lot of things you only need a simple vote to pass things. To reverse things like his executive orders, you need a 2/3rds vote, they would need to take a vote for each one, and he's signed hundreds.
They've been working on this plan since Reagan was in office so please understand that a lot of what is happening is legal but unprecedented and powers are being abused in ways no one every imagined they would be. They made huge list of wants and spring everything
all at once so we're overwhelmed as a nation. We have elections that could change the power in Congress in 2 years. Republicans catered to the least educated people in the nation so it's hard to educate them enough to change their minds.
The head people at the BAR exam place, they basically said that rule of law is getting decimated and no one should be above the law, even the president. Another article I read. I have article homework in college atm lol
I understand the republicans control congress part, which sucks absolute balls because of just a lot of really stupid things in general, nvm the crashing. BUT, what he is doing is NOT legal. Conservative's are suing Trump over the tariffs because it's unconstitutional in what he's doing.
Because we have a quarter millennium of not being idiots before this and even if China passes us, we're still going to be one of the largest economies in the world. Half of what we're doing now is going to remain unchanged. None of the power from Canada to the US is being shut off.
None whatsoever. He’s a twat. Obviously.
Trust is easy to lose, but almost impossible to get back.
So true
Trump has convinced his low-information base that every trade partner has been taking advantage of the US. His message is that, while the tariffs are hurting Americans, they’re hurting other countries more. I’ve tried to reason with those people, but they’re willing to eat dirt for him.
75 million of us know this. Don’t generalize and abandon this country because of a powerful minority.
They can redeem themselves by standing up to this orange clown. Isn't that beginning right now?
I really hope it is and it succeeds ✌️
"Who would trust anything agreed with the USA again?" This situation is rather extreme, but the U.S. has routinely broken agreements for as long as I can remember.
Yeah...we get it. Some of us do, at any rate...
Biden did so much to repair bridges/assure the world that Trump was a blip. But now idiocy reigns because too many US voters had goldfish memories and no apologies for racists. The world heaped praise on Biden for his tireless efforts & all the press focused on was how aged he looked from the work.
Well put. Every word is true…unfortunately
It is also a matter of threatening neighbours with hostile takeovers. If trump wanted to redefine world economy by devaluing the dollar, that would be one thing. Now he's trying to build an empire noone wants to be a part of because of him.
77M Americans are happy to see us converted to trash because that's more comfortable to them.
Depressingly true. Was hoping someone with a brain would step in but I think I’m being delusional to hope for common sense these days.
Even after Trump has passed from this Earth, the type of voters who elect Republicans will continue to live. No world leader in their right mind would trust America going forward.
😔 will someone in Canada adopt me?
Here you go. There's a process. www.canada.ca/en/immigrati...
Wish we could. Canada could scoop up so many hardworking, decent people.
Trump killed it. Trump is cancer, GOP a disease.
Awesome
As part of the half that voted for the smart black woman, the shame, embarrassment and regret are crushing. 2 months ago, a natural disaster in Myanmar would have boosted my now failed patriotism. We don’t show up any more, except to cause others and ourselves great harm. I’m sorry.
He barely shows up in his own country. Not even the Red States that were hit by tornadoes.
Perhaps Secret Service know they can’t protect him as threat risk increases. Golfing seems easy for them and him. Absent conscience
Not even for dead American soldiers.
So sad but trump laid down this new situation all on his own It’s all on him destroying America and their allies
Time for Poop-tin to step in and take us over, we're done.
Carney is already assuming the mantle of statesman leader. I hope the Canadians recognize that we need people of his calibre and experience to lead the world away from our toxic relationships with the Oligarch Republic of the USA.
Hear, hear from the UK!
I hope so too. Mark Carney for the win!
It would be best if economic order didn't rest solely on just ONE nation cause it's a major security flaw, but short term, if it's Canada or another ally, fucking good. We here in the US weren't the best to begin with but it's never been a better time to take this particular role from us.
Looking pretty good so far but we'd appreciate you keeping your fingers crossed anyhow!
I love that this is the projection, but also am aware that overwhelming polls dampen turnout because people think it's in the bag and don't show up. So important to keep sprinting even after we think we've crossed the finish line, so we don't unconsciously slow down ahead of it.
Polls had Kamala and Hillary ahead too!!! Get out and vote!!!! 🇨🇦💪🏻
*gazes into abyss shaped like 2013 B.C. provincial election*
We are voting! Yes the message has to be to vote not only to ensure #markcarney is elected because he could lead the world, since Trump is no longer the leader of the free world + PARTICIPATE in the big FU to the United States 🇺🇸 that 🇨🇦 is strong and together. United 🇨🇦 💪💪💪
you're right, everyone needs to get out and vote...I will.
Canada has a meth lab below it. We're what happens when people don't give a shit, are complacent, & are uneducated, thinking a failed businessman and his billionaire sycophants give a rat's ass about any of us. We should be a cautionary tale to vote regardless of what charts show. ✌️ from MN.
This projection is betting odds. Here's your real polling averages. Don't get too comfortable, that gap could stand to get much wider. I certainly won't be resting easy until we see that grey line start to slink down where it belongs.
💯agree. The people have to get out and vote or we will end up like the US.
Mandatory voting is worth it, and making it a public holiday shows the government are serious.
YES.. .Please Canada,don't let what's happening in the US happen to you. Over a third of eligible U.S voters DID NOT vote.
Yes, please! You don't want to turn out to be this selfish, racist country. We are not okay.
No, you're really not ok and the longer Congress, the press, your institutions cater to the orange felon, the worse things are going to get. It's really very frightening.
The meanness and trolling laughing at anyone having a misfortunate experience trickles down all the way to the school playgrounds in the US. You don’t want to give anyone like the Republicans here an inch. Crush them now or they’ll ruin a generation of people.
Haleyho, you're 💯 correct! I have never seen so much hate, selfishness, childishness, bickering! And it's coming from the top! Our poor children!
I think that happened with VP Harris here in the US. People thought she was going to win and didn't bother to vote.
Voters ought to be reminded, on an hourly basis, of one name and one number: Hillary, 2016. The only thing that will end up in the proverbial bag, is the head – the lives and livelihoods, the freedom and safety – of the Canadian people.
I think we'll have record turnout, there's some powerfully motivating reasons to do so this time.
Canada is at risk of being invaded by the US they will turn out. It's a patriotic act
If there's 1 thing we can thank the USA for, it's NFL replays that show players who are about to score a TD deliberately dropping the ball at the 1-yard line cuz it's somehow cooler than carrying it all the way into the endzone. In Canada, we know the puck has to fully cross the red line to count 😁
Yup but that also works both ways. People won’t rush to vote for 1% odds either
It's beautiful 😍. Who would have thought that the Liberals could win such a huge majority three months ago? I wonder what PP is thinking 😂
I hope he is looking as good to Canadians as he is to me!
It's the women who will save us. They do not support poilievre.
That's what Americans said in their election and sadly it did not happen.
Carney ain't kamala fucking Harris....
Never said he was. Does not discount the fact that people need to come out and vote.
...my whole comment was based on everyone voting...but when you have 20% support from the women.....it's the women who will save the day. I try not to mansplain....then get forced to....
For Harris only 53% of women voted for her, down from Biden's 57%. So no it was not women that saved the day in the 2024 US election. www.npr.org/2024/11/08/g...
But but I thought it was shallow three word slogans that would see us through??
AND we Canadians need to ensure that the Trump wannabe - Pierre Poilievre- maintains his position as opposition leader in the upcoming April 28 election.
I want him to lose his seat.
I'm scared that it will be a Kamala vs the moron and the moron wins in Canada. My son ( 34 yrs old) just repeated PeePee Poo Poo propaganda, saying that he will get rid of interprovincal barriers. Gee, I wonder where he got that idea ( weeks later than Carney said it).
Carney actually answers the questions he's asked, not the questions he wants to be asked ...this might not last of course !
📌
IMPEACH THE MOTHER FUCKER!!!!
They had 4 years to put this to bed, they failed. Impeachment seems like a dream under this new regime.
We’re past that, babes.
Mr. Carney, can I come live with you? I feel like I'm stuck behind enemy lines in the Handmaid's Tale.
So unnecessary
When accountability came calling for Donald Trump he made a vow to destroy this nation. He is delivering. This is not shocking. What is shocking is how WILLING so many Americans are to lay down their arms, bend over, and take it
I keep saying nothing will change until his supporters start to feel real pain over his policies. Still a long way off from that. If/when they start to feel it then we have a chance to make changes. Until then …. Look out
The MAGAts did that. Putin must be so proud of the cult leader and his cult followers. The enemy from within.
GO CANADA!!! 🇨🇦. FUCK THIS TRUMPTARD INFESTED SHIT 💩 HOLE.
I'm so pissed off at donOld, of course, but the American people (around 33%) put this incompetent pos in power, and now he's burning it down.. I'm also incredibly frustrated by the people who sat out in this election and essentially allowed this horror to take place. Not all Americans support this.
That trump and putin Brotherhood isn't looking all the great, huh 🙄
Trump should just tell his people that he doesn’t want you to buy goods from abroad. He wants you only to buy from USA. Should have been a 10 yr plan or more instead of ripping the heart out.
100% agree. This either incredibly reckless, or part of a larger russian plan to destroy us. Nothing else makes sense. It takes years, if not decades to build and staff the number of manufacturing plants required to replace these imported goods.
Yep agreed. Do you remember a few years he kept saying we need to build 10 new cities maybe he builds around new manufacturing and in red states?
Rooting for Canada! Ya'll better take the helm because ohhh boy someone needs to if the US is going to sink its own ship.
We will feel the pain from this for sure. While the usa has a clown who bankrupted multiple business including 6 CASINOS! calling the shots we, Canada, have a world class economist at the helm. We will feel less pain and recover from this way faster than the usa, just like the last time
Prime Minister Carney is smart, academically and professionally accomplished, respectful, dignified, speaks English and French, and is a pretty good hockey player. He also boldly announced that our previously cordial relationship with the US is dead and buried.
As a Canadian, I'm proud to say he's ours. Sorry, America, but your voters twice turned the keys to your kingdom over to a deranged, paranoid felon who doesn't seem to care that he has transformed your once great democracy into pariah that the rest of the world now wants to distance itself from.
Disgruntled Yank here, America is dead to me too. It's not my country anymore nor do I want it to be.
Same bro. I absolutely loathe my country
We can adopt you. ❤️
Problem is Canadian immigration laws. I have no job skills
We’ll have a look! www.canada.ca/en/immigrati...
Sadly, I have no funds, my only way into Canada is as a refugee
At the rate the USA is progressing it shouldn’t be long before American citizens are claiming refugee status
Honestly when the time comes, if I can make it there, I will fully embrace being Canadian. It does help our cultures are still largely similar.
Yes. And if all else fails you can always do the 90 day finance thing. I know this isn’t funny but I couldn’t resist
Sadly that's not something I want
Apart from the word on your documents, a refugee is just like any other immigrant. As long as the conservatives don't win the next election, you'll be fine in Canada.
Train up
I mean I also fully expect this admin to go after Jews at some point too. Authoritarian regimes always need an eny
I think there is too much Israeli $ in weapons manufacturing for this to occur at the moment. Otherwise it's already be happening but maga cult don't know that so they will probably target Jews anyway. Trump's crew are attempting to unleash the hounds of hell.
Trump just tariffed Israel though. And Trump has said some borderline antisemitic things. That might be my way into Canada sadly.
True. He is a Nazi afterall
bsky.app/profile/jonc...
His French is rough, even for a guy from Alberta. But it’ll get better.
I hope the "old USA + Canada" returns. TrumpMuskrat will have to be gone first; and healing and trust will take awhile to be regained, but is best for both countries.
WHEN we RID OURSELVES of this SCOURGE⁉️ When they are ALL IMPEACHED & IMPRISONED I just hope our ALLIES will forgive us⁉️ Who else feels Humpty is following marching orders from PUKIN⁉️ W/ NAZI'S allowed to march in our streets⁉️ Masked bandits stealing US CITIZENS & ARRESTING elected officials⁉️⚖💙
It was never good for #Canadians, though They never had OUR #HumanInterests or #ecology in mind
It will be generations to repair if it even ever does get repaired. That is what Carney is telling you. The harsh reality that what we used to all have on both sides of the border is gone. We need to accept that and not hold onto sentiment in order to move forward.
Well you have to tell it like it is. You’ve pissed us off to the point where we just don’t fucking care about the US under trump at all
Reality is sobering. This is the new normal.
Sobering and sickening.
Heart breaking 💔 also.
Indeed! 😣
Why don't you question out loud that Elon Musk helped him rig the election? He admitted Elon helped him in PA. I'm done being fucking blamed for this shit. You Canadians refuse to look into your own Trump up there.
Er. What? Carney is leading Poilievre (our own "Trump") in every poll. We are looking into it.
We have to get them out of there and try to repair the damage they've done to us all. To themselves. And their chldren too. No one is safe. Who knows where a natural disaster will strike or when another catastrophe will occur Their money won't always save them. trump is a walking disaster to us all
#ETTD
gotta keep his hands off Social Security & Post Office. He's killed so much already. Hope we can get a little Lazarus going after he's gone. He will go. They always do. No one gets out alive. No threats here, Just saying. We're all mortal & he's not God, but if he was really a Christian, he'd agree.
I wish Canada the best, I'm sorry my country elected an orange jackass.. 😩
We are sorry, too. While we are steadfast in our stance, we are also very, very sad.
Again
I wish Canada could join the EU. In exchange for Hungary, if you like 😌
In the process
A lot of Canadians would like that too.
Us Americans will likely be the last group of people on the planet to realize we lost everything that actually made us great... and I'm actually terrified of how we'll react.
Americans will find the wrong people to scapegoat for their loss in status. And as a brown American woman, I am also terrified.
The beau monde will carry on..and the maga vulgarians will happily serve them…it’s just the “Malcom in the middle” people who will both realize our loss-and try to keep it patched together somehow-like always.
After the wealthy and powerful ruin the economy, we will seize back control. The ultra wealthy and extremists have made their decision to strip the people of health care and dignity. We will deal with them when the time comes. Meanwhile, the rest of the world must shun us to save us.
However US will never ever gain same position in the world. Partner, maybe, in the best.
as an american, this is good. this is what america should always have been.
Ah, yes. Leftist rapture ideology
How did the previous group of people react ?
Which time?
You choose. This in 2022: www.ohchr.org/fr/stories/2...
Americans didn't know what made their country great I think.
60 years of a democrat run house and senate did tat until 1980 reganomics broke it and here we are in the remnants of capitalistic oligarchy
We CAN be at the end of the entire worthless era if our hearts are in it. If not this train ONLY goes one way. We either get ahead of it and take out the tracks. Or…… live LIKE THIS.
The dumbest thing is the guy who is causing this doesn’t even seem to understand it. He thinks he is the leader of the most powerful nation in the world. Whatever his motives are for these world order destroying policies, the outcome still ends up with him sitting as king of a once great nation.
ruling over a pile of ashes.
The realization should be that we did not lose. We were never winning. The corruption has just been laid bare and exposed for all to see by the ultimate exploiter and corrupter. This system was never built for the citizens and that’s why it was easily taken by the worst people.
There is only one way to react that will do any good and it will be up to us- TAKE BACK OUR COUNTRY!
Why are we so slow to adjust? Or see what is right before our eyes.
American exceptionalism
Exceptionally ignorant?
Exceptionally comfy?
Decades of right-wingers chipping away at the intelligence of Americans, and, not unlike the proverbial frog in the pot, no one in power realizing that a little loosening of broadcast regulations here, a little extra undue burden on public schools there could eventually bring down the country.
Many of us are certainly aware. We were aware before he was elected and you saw them come out in the millions yesterday. But I agree, if the truth ever actually gets thru to the majority of the brainwashed cult, it's going to be ugly...and bloody. It may get bloody anyway.
It’s literally like when people are fighting in wars and their limbs get blown off but they don’t feel it yet and continue to fight.
Yah, but that tan suit, and that email server. We can't just pretend they never happened, can we?
Yes. All the leading US companies will lose.
Your nation was never "great" to begin with. It was all lies and propaganda.
You're gonna have a tough go, and it's unfortunate that the MAGAts can't see it. The world is uniting without you. America first means America alone.
I hope Trump lives to see Florida conquered by brave Canadian Liberators

I fear that Republicans have been fomenting civil war for decades. They support the proliferation of firearms. They repealed laws requiring permits to carry concealed firearms.
Kamala voters understood this. Everyone else are drooling morons
We didn't lose everything. Two decades ago we murdered a million people and it was so bad they gave Obama a Nobel Peace Prize just for being elected. 😆 It won't be the same again but it never is. Trump is only here for 4 years and if Dems take Congress in 2 years they can hobble him. We'll fix it.
many of us were the first
Luke Wilson will get you back on track.
We've already lost it and the reaction is to be expected. Have our delusional idiots in denial and the rest of us are terrified.
Half. @bsky.app we need an edit button
And the fact that so many GOP supporters and magats are already fueled by anger and hatred. They will definitely be taking that anger and hatred out on their fellow Americans
Maybe most Americans will literally never realize this? Lots of dull tools in that shed. And if Fox News doesn’t report it, it never really happened.
That's why Fox( not the news) never reported they were sued for 787 million because they repeatedly lied to their subscribers and audience.
“Can’t start a fire without a spark”
It’s Katrina for everyone Heck of a job trumpy administration
Nuke some nation just for shits and giggles?
I agree.
Everything is going to have to burn down in order for the MAGATs to realize how wrong they are. Until they are reduced to nothing they will find excuse after excuse to cheer what he’s doing on. It’s a broke machine that won’t turn off until it’s finished tearing itself apart.
And then what?
And then we write a new constitution and build a country that makes sense
Where corporations AREN’T treated like citizens.
And money isn’t speech
Well, hopefully the MAGA morons will finally do the sensible thing and jump into an active volcano.
They never will. Britain lost their superpower status 80 years ago and still have barely adapted to being a minor power. There'll never be a point where americans realize they've lost it all.
England still think they “rule the waves” 🤷♀️
Everybody so self-centered, we trip on our own feet
What made america great was its ability to take other peoples inventions and popularize them. When your true skill is self promotion rather than innovation, there will never be a shortage of other peoples ideas to steal and promote as your own.
We are actually living the the movies Idiocracy and "Dont look up" in real time as I write this..
Guaranteed that the % of us who voted for trump - or worse, threw their vote away - will be blaming Biden, Hillary's emails, and immigrants for the collapse they voted for.
Got a bit chippy with my supporter mom today over this and she literally acted like she had no idea what I’m talking about Don’t think these people realize what is happening yet because their media sources will not tell them the truth. And they’ve been so radicalized against all other outlets
💯
All they have to do is double down on "the Deep State" sabotaging them at every moment and that's enough to maintain support.
They don’t realize it. They’re in a cult and they don’t see what we see. They’re starting to have doubts—and if we’re smart, we’ll be patient and compassionate with them so we can bring them over to our side, not scare them into doubling down on his. But a lot of us would rather be angry.
This is exactly what I do. I only play my cards when I see a good opening. I went off about being scared to spend any money on my big milestone birthday and all the plans I’ve already cancelled. Explained why I’m scared and she was sad for me. Hopefully I’ve planted a seed.
This is the way! I’ve been learning about how cults work, and it’s been enlightening and made me less angry and more compassionate. The wheels are falling off the wagon for this one quickly as he fails to deliver. It’s going to be hard for them to have their world crash around them.
They’re going to be horrified and have a hard time once the blinders come off and they see what they’ve enabled, like many Germans did. We can argue about responsibility later, AFTER we’ve put this fire out!
I asked myself many times where living would be the best. It was the US we were proud of to have as our friends. They we're our big brother. Today i am glad to live in Europe. Everything we experienced as bad before WW2 might happen again...
Some of us realized what would happen.
40% of the population will never realize it. Trump will have them believing their personal financial challenges are either “liberation” or “Joe Biden’s fault” depending on the day of the week.
Only works for so long
Thats when the wars start.
Better get to it. You’re wasting precious time.
Time is a human construct. We’ve already won this war. Trump is no god. The sun is on our side.
Looks to be lots of winning.
Pretty much... Everyone keeps calling this a "global trade war" but it's actually just a US one. After a brief period of shock, the global economy will realign circumventing the US, the real question is what happens when the dollar is no longer reserve currency and US debt becomes unserviceable
It will take another generation to fully realize that the US was downgraded from a hegemonic to a great power. Facing this reality will have vast impacts.
Someone I follow in Mexico was just saying how (much more) annoying visiting Americans will be, yearning for the comfort and deference their "hegemonic position" afforded them.
America is going to be left in the dust as our allies form new partnerships without us.
Putin is in control. Donald the Puppet serves his interests.
Stand strong!
And they did it to themselves. (America, that is)
Some of us did, @calc88.bsky.social. I, for one, disavow the inbred, subhuman MAGA garbage in my midst... and look forward to the day when Constitutionalist forces rise up, and begin the wholesale extermination of this vermin. The errors made at the end of our first Civil War will not be repeated.
We lost the Cold War after all. All we got from our “peace dividend” was a colossal prison industrial state.
Right on! Don't cave.
So sad. So sad. So sad.
The UK needs to prepare, yes we got the lowest hit at 10% but the US is going to be completely unreliable for the next 4 years
Canada was the lowest hit at 1%. Well, that was yesterday at least. He just said a few hours ago he's willing make a deal with Canada on the other more specific tariffs like iirc 25% on cars. He's a bully. Everyone ought to just blockade the US until he restores the rule of law.
This is just the latest list. The US hit Canada with tariffs earlier that were not included in this announcement.
Yeah I know but on that large board he was holding up and on the list wherever it is, where you see like 10% for the UK, which is just "everything that wasn't included in something specific", Canada got 1%. Everyone else got double digits. He's a BS artist and wants some kind of concessions. 🤷♂️
and beyond.
I think it will take years to fix this mess.
How much of this is not fixable though? My heart is beyond broken. I have tried to stay positive ever since his first disastrous term, but I just can't be very positive anymore.
Never insist on being positive when it comes to world affairs. Be realistic. If things are going well, be happy, if not, be mad or turn the news off. Overly optimistic people only get disapointed or taken out.
Decades. Most of it isn’t fixable.
Wait until trump gets a bill from a recently built bridge.
Fucking rights it's over. Elbows up Canada 🇨🇦
