What have USAID, Clinton Global Initiative and the Soros Foundation given to Mark Carney's and his wife Diana FOx Carney's "charities"?

This is an urgent question to be determined before the Liberal Leadership vote.

Saudi Arabia has 2 things and are one of the wealthiest countries on the planet. Canada doesn't have sand nor do our current governing politicians and that is only our own fault. The "idiot king" should have fallen years ago....but he didn't so now we find ourselves adrift drowning in our own tears. Just remember it could be worse because we still may have a glimmer of hope if we plot the right course.

[Conrad Black @ConradMBlack]

I wish this latest round of bed-wetting from Andrew Coyne came as more of a surprise. But anyone afraid of annexation is suffering from an acute and irrational phobia best treated by spending less time on social media.

I've never opined on "the wisdom of Trump's strategic vision for us." Not least because he doesn't have a strategic vision for us, he's focused on his own country's strategy. My comments are largely on what Canada's response should be in light of the sobering economic correlation of forces. US exports to Canada represent 1.5% of US GDP. Canadian exports to the US are 20% of our GDP. US exports to Canada could go to zero, and while some northern states would be hit pretty hard, it wouldn't even slow the US economy enough to trigger a recession. On the other hand, if Canadian exports to the US went to zero, it would be a cataclysm.

As a fervent flag-waiving patriot and enthusiastic member of Team Canada, I'm afraid the tough-talk and posturing is not going to cut it. Unilateral insistence that we are entitled to the status quo simply because we've gotten accustomed to it, while refusing to negotiate with Trump because we purport to possess the moral high ground, instead, puffing out our maple leaf emblazoned chests in defiance of the "bad orange bully," is dim-witted bunk (Andrew Coyne's apparent stock-in-trade).

If someone in the beleaguered Liberal cabinet, with the authority to do so, called up the president and proposed two simple things, I suspect the trade war would end overnight.

Firstly, a modest earmark for stronger and collaborative border security measures (which would both satisfy Trump and redound to our benefit—see the Toronto police's seizure of 900kg of cocaine two weeks ago, smuggled over the US border, and note the vast majority of illegal firearms on Canadian streets come over the US border).

Secondly, make good on our long-overdue commitment as a member of NATO to contribute 3% of GDP to defense. Something we should be doing for decades.

That's it. My prediction is those two mutually beneficial "concessions" with a bit of finesse would be enough to resolve the issue overnight.

In my personal experience with Donald Trump, he is a tough negotiator, but I have never known him to reject a fair deal.

As a hedge against his supposed unpredictability, by all means respond with counter tariffs, but that's not a fight we can win. The only real counterpunch, such as there is one, is a combination of heeding Premier Danielle Smith's call to fast track domestic oil and gas pipelines, construct LNG terminals on each coast, and unshackle Canada's resource economy, while getting busy strengthening existing and developing new international trade relationships (CANZUK for starters). Unfortunately, it appears the Liberal government is gearing up to walk the plank, while Andrew Coyne cheers them on.

[The Architect. @TheMarcitect]

Trudeau playing some kind of hero at this point is laughable. The scary thing is people in Canada are falling for it. Overnight they have literally forgotten the last nine years. Unbelievable.

@realDonaldTrump Do you know where Harrington lake is?

[Theo Fleury @TheoFleury14]

Why is this asshole commenting on anything to do with Canada. Was there an election that I missed???

[Tablesalt 🇨🇦🇺🇸 @Tablesalt13]

When tariffs come

the federal government better ship out EVERY WORK PERMIT HOLDER ON CANADIAN SOIL

Canadians need those jobs now.

[govt.exe is corrupt @govt_corrupt]

People are asking why Justin Trudeau won't just secure the border...

But why would he want to do that when the WEF's objective is to destroy Canada and rule over the ashes?

[Bruce @bruce_barrett]

If you want to blame someone for the fentanyl production, blame the “New Canadians” and the government that let these terrorists in.

Think of that when you are impacted by the tariffs.

[Christy 💕 @Christy4Change]

The 25% tariffs is the blood on Canadian politicians hands.

It’s not Donald Trumps fault our government SUCKS.

DO NOT let these POS’s blame him.

[Glenda M 🍎 @McfarlaneGlenda]

If you’re mad at Trump yet continue to give a free pass to the guy who’s incompetence, arrogance and corruption has weakened Canada to a point where the US sees us as a target then you really need to turn off the state news and join the real world.

I will make Canada more competitive 👇

[Yukon Strong 🫎 @YukonStrong]

🇨🇦 will soon be brought to its knees economically.

Love it or hate it, calls to join 🇺🇸 are about to get LOUD

But look on the bright side

We can let Tom Homan loose in downtown Montreal

[Grey Matter Podcast @GreyMatterConvo]

Remember that Donald Trump did not destroy the Canadian economy through tariffs.

[Ralph Lemmon @Onesweetlemmon]

He is an agent of the WEF without doubt, just like Freeland, Carney and Singh. They may act like bumbling idiots but they are executing an extremely well thought out plan. The resources of the WEF are basically unlimited with the greatest minds and AI available at their disposal. They have experts in the Westminster parliamentary system and common law working with them to achieve their goals and roll out their agenda. Since losing the USA with the reelection of President Trump they are now desperate to maintain a foothold in Canada to avoid a major North American defeat to the right. If Canada is lost it increases the risk of them eventually losing France,Germany and the UK so they are desperate and will pull out all of the stops to keep us in their icy grip. At this point I am beginning to think that the WEF actually went to trudoo and actually recruited him to enter politics with the promise of him becoming the PM in short order. I believe that he will be given a patronage position in either the WEF or UN for his assistance in making sure his replacement (Carney) is installed to continue the rollout of their plans. Why else would they offer a mere $1.3 Billion over 6 years to enhance border security while preparing to fund 100's of Billions of dollars (Universal basic income) to support Canadian businesses and workers economically impacted by the introduction of tariffs? All they had to do was to show a good faith effort by appointing a "border czar" and direct Canadian armed forces to set up feild camps along our border to conduct boots on the ground surveillance sweeps in hot spots.

[govt.exe is corrupt @govt_corrupt]

Donald Trump: Hey Canada, secure your border.

'Team Canada': F🇨🇦CK You. How about we destroy our own economy and blame it on you...

So we can implement our socialt CBDC-UBI agenda. How dare you tell us to fix our country!

[Kirk Lubimov @KirkLubimov]

Canada,

You are about to have an unelected Prime Minister with an unelected Senate, printing billions of dollars and no election.

Are you awake yet??
