Trump keeps trying to get Carney to bend the knee. At first Carney did (Digital Services Tax) but now he knows it will just nevebr end.

You can't negotiate with someone who is constantly moving the goal posts and is clearly mentally unstable.

It's going to be a painful separation seeing that we integrated our two economies so intimately over the decades, but we got complacent because it was easy to trade with someone so close geographically. That friendship and trust is gone. Kaput. Fix yourselves before you come back to us as friends.

Watch out! According to the orange jello salad, we Canadians are nasty to make deals with! πŸ˜œπŸ‡¨πŸ‡¦

Thin-skinned orange baby. Or is it TACO again? All we can do is keep calm and carry on with new trade deals elsewhere.

He's going to have spend money we don't have to get us back on a better track and away from the US. When was the last time a PM was fully engaged in getting nation building projects off the ground so quickly? Post WWII? Oh and fuck you America. Thanks for the assault on our economy.

He's the most conservative liberal ever! Lol! But if anyone can get us out of insanity it will be Carney. Having an investment banker as a PM does have its advantages.

Perfect example of white entitlement. If he was black or brown, do you think these patrolmen would have put up with this much attitude? Taser his belligerent ass and throw him in the back of the car.

Why do you Americans insist on keeping these geriatrics in power? Your Congress must smell like a urine soaked diaper.

Carney says Stellantis offered reassurances on Brampton plant TORONTO β€” Prime Minister Mark Carney says the global head of Stellantis told him the automaker is looking at finding a new model to fill the idled Brampton, Ont. plant, but that a decision won't be co...

If Stellantis and the other American auto makers want to take our federal money to retool their plants then move production back to US, then we should drop the tariffs to China's EV's.

Time for Blue states to withhold payments to the federal government if they are not going send it back to you to use.

California should succeed from the great failed experiment. It is the 4th largest economy in the world.

Personally, I think we should pull a page out of China's playbook. If you want to sell your cars in our country, then build a plant here. Whether it manufactures cars or parts but give our workers jobs too!

They are doing the same to Canadian farmers because of our 100% tariffs on their EVs.
