    Trump says Canada has “unreasonably imposed new barriers to United States companies seeking to access the Canadian government procurement market.”

    His solution?

    “…directing federal agencies overseeing government procurement in the United States to remove all products of Canadian origin.”

    This reminds me of incels for some reason.

    "Debbie is a fucking removed and won’t fuck me even when I offer to pay her. Fuck Debbie and all the whores who look like her.

    Starts cursing out all attractive women.

    “Why can’t I get laid?”

      We’re not even doing that. we’re finding new markets to trade our goods and services with that is a better return. This is called Capitalism and it’s what America claims to want.

    Given that no one has defined yet what “associate member of the EU” even means, if anything other than a mere decleration if intent for deepening cooperation, it is funny how rapidly Trump is complaining about it.

      Trump has turned Canada into the new hotness on the global stage. The world sees that idiot man baby attack us and Carney playing it super cool and just brushing it off. He knows Trump is a fool and he calmly lets the world know he knows. People fucking love that shit.

      People used to say Trump’s fumbling was actually 4D chess. The problem is the game is regular chess and Canada is kicking his ass.

      I have no doubts Canada is going to emerge from all of this as a force we’ve never been before.

    World War III is already on. In a hundred years, when fascism has fallen, history books will call Trump a butcher, and Congress, complicit traitors.

            Just like climate change / global warming.

            Subject matter experts have been warning about it for many decades, and have been ignored by policy makers for just as long.

        Historians have been warning about the new rise of fascism since the 90s. It was very much seen coming.

        Hitler didn’t happen in a day either.

    So here’s a piece of old tribal wisdom:

    When you hit someone, don’t be surprised if they hit back.

      Canada isn’t hitting back. We dodged the punch and left the bar mumbling “This place used to be fine but it’s turned into a removed filled with idiots”.

      Now we’re at the nice bar down the street, having drinks with Ursula, and not giving it a second thought.

      As an aside, does anyone else find Ursula kind of hot?

          Right now Canada is being seen globally with very favoured eyes. That would be a huge mistake for Trump.

          He’ll probably do it.
