What a betrayal, I hope Liberal MPs push for a non-confidence vote.

The longer this "strategy" of not banning trade with them goes on the worse we come out of it.

    give your head a shake, how do "ban" trade with ol donnie dingle dick without antagonizing the world's largest military

    its called pragmatism - we just selectively ban portions in retaliation, perfectly reasonable, and not casus belli

    i mean the state of kentucky will give you toothless blowjobs for life if you buy a bottle of shitty bourbon now, and they were gleefully happy about the tariffs

    literally too stupid to insult

    We used to not trade with them, but the first step would have been to not sign NAFTA, which had destroyed our economy. But then thanks to Trump we were finally out of it and Trudeau went and signed CUSMA. Now Carney has a chance to get us out of CUSMA while making it look like Trump is giving us a free off ramp again and he's not doing that.

    Sure we had some trade but for the most part the US has always been a hostile partner and the bulk of our trade was with Britain because they're actually our ally.
