@Albertastrongg @B1955Lesley @RodKahx It’s not about what he says. Trump’s negotiating style is not about pursuing classic “win-win” outcomes. His approach, has more often emphasized leverage, pressure, & claiming a better deal for the United States (or for himself in business).

@gr365patriot @DeIntelpatriot @VP Except the version of the SAVE Act you’re pushing could disenfranchise eligible citizens, especially married women whose birth certificates don’t match their current legal names, by creating new documentary barriers to registering or updating their voter registration.

@Albertastrongg @B1955Lesley @RodKahx Interesting definition of “ally.” Trump has repeatedly said the US doesn’t need Canada’s oil & gas. Alta may value the US market, but Washington views Alta as a supplier, not a partner it will put ahead of US interests. Canada gives Alberta far more leverage than going it alone.

@cbcwatcher Danielle Smith is off base here. A win-win requires both sides to want one. Trump’s negotiating style has long been about pressure, leverage, and declaring winners and losers. Canada shouldn’t mistake that for an interest in a balanced outcome.

@TeslaUltraBull @DriveTeslaca …and they likely get charged with dangerous operation of a moter vehicle, at a minimum, if they are lucky enough to survive it.

@JonFraserTF @staceybrotzel We’re more concerned about Canadian workers, as you should be. As long as that buffoon is in the White House, there’s no economic certainty. That uncertainty hurts Canadian businesses, workers, and investment.

@RpsAgainstTrump Before lecturing others about respecting Congress, Jim Jordan might explain why he ignored a lawful congressional subpoena for J6. The credibility gap is hard to ignore.

@Ontarianram @atrupar Don’t let the door hit you on the way out.

@brianlilley No need for Carney to bend. Trump’s tariffs will likely face legal challenges. He’s relying on a rarely used 1930 law and has publicly linked tariffs to wildfire smoke, not proven discriminatory trade practices by Canada.

@themegtv @wordsmith1960 @MAGALieTracker “Sigh” and “Kamala salad” aren’t evidence. Canada and the U.S. both benefit from integrated trade, energy, defence, intelligence and supply chains. You keep repeating that Canada benefits more, but you haven’t provided a single fact proving it.

[Melanie Beaton @melbyhz]

@themegtv @wordsmith1960 @MAGALieTracker If Canada benefited “far more,” why has the U.S. maintained and expanded this relationship for generations under both Republican and Democratic presidents? Because it advances American interests too. That’s not opinion, it’s policy spanning decades.

@TuckFrump01 @RapidResponse47 @DrOzCMS Imagine if California kept the $800B it sends to Washington each year. Meanwhile, Alaska, Kentucky, West Virginia, and Mississippi consistently rank among the most federally dependent states. Funny how many critics rely on revenues generated by donor states such as California.

[Melanie Beaton @melbyhz]

@nickshirleyy @RapidResponse47 @SecKennedy So what you’re saying is the people of California need to pay for alleged mistakes made by their government? Trump just handed the midterms to democrats. +13 in the house with this move alone!

[Melanie Beaton @melbyhz]

@politico Maybe California & Minnesota should halt their $5.3T in federal tax payments!

@essenviews Maybe California & Minnesota should halt their $5.3T in federal tax payments!

@FarmerDenn94377 @FayBellefo75161 @MAGALieTracker Trump has called Canada “mean & nasty”, a “very nasty negotiator,” said we would “cease to exist” without the US, dismissed our border as an “artificial line,” called our PM “Governor,” and repeatedly threatens to make Canada the 51st state. We’re absolutely going to respond?!

[Melanie Beaton @melbyhz]

@themegtv @wordsmith1960 @MAGALieTracker Canada hasn’t ripped off the US for centuries. We’ve been one of America’s closest allies, fought alongside the US in major wars, share the world’s longest undefended border, cooperate on continental defence, intelligence, energy, and trade. That’s partnership, not exploitation.

@acnewsitics This is not a “leftist” thing. Even Ron DiSantis said they weren’t welcome in Florida!

@KristjanBackman @Tom_Shinerr @FrankieSaysNews The US supports its own industries, then challenges Canadian policies as unfair. With dairy, demanding access despite US subsidies; with lumber, calling crown stumpage a subsidy; with steel, the US uses national security tariffs. Different laws, same protectionist playbook.

[Melanie Beaton @melbyhz]

@KristjanBackman @Tom_Shinerr @FrankieSaysNews Doubling imports is unlikely. We don’t want hormone filled dairy. With US dairy farmers receiving billions in government support through various programs, Canada’s supply management helps level the playing field rather than competing against subsidized imports.
