Stephen Harper: "It is clear that the current U.S. administration views our level of economic integration as incompatible with our separate sovereignty. Thus, to maintain that sovereignty, we must pursue diminished reliance upon the United States."

[Maria Shriver @mariashriver]

And so here we are. This statement from Trump blows my mind. That a sitting president would not let any renovations to a public building go on unless he gets to first put his name in the said building… What a sad state of affairs. What a tragedy. Actually, how small minded, how narcissistic. Actually
great men, devoted to public service and the public good do not act like this.

It seems that this man will not rest until his name is permanently connected to the name of a great president, whose memory this building was dedicated to. Imagine spending your time and your days focused on this, as everyday Americans struggle with healthcare, gas prices, rent, and food. Imagine spending your days focused on this, while a war rages under your leadership.

Enough said. Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Trump has withdrawn US support from Ukraine.
Trump broke his promise to help Iranian freedom movement.
Trump threatened to invade and annex territory of NATO allies Denmark and Canada.
Trump has ruptured trade relations with EU, South Korea, etc.
All to wage war on Minnesota.

Your state has the 7th highest homicide rate in the nation — over double California’s.

Spare us the grandstanding over “enforcing the law”— you’re a heartless fraud.

[Jason Kenney 🇨🇦🇺🇦🇮🇱 @jkenney]

Martin, with precisely zero provocation, Trump said a year ago that he intended to “annex Canada” and make it the 51st state by applying “economic pressure;”

- He imposed lifted, increased, decreased, re-imposed and repeatedly threatened tariffs on everything imported from Canada, in gross violation of the CUSMA agreement that he signed, calling it “the greatest trade agreement in history;”

- He initially did so on the entirely specious grounds that Canada was a major source of fentanyl imports and illegal migration to the US, both claims completely contradicted by data, and US law enforcement agencies. The claims were so ridiculous - even for Trump - that he has not repeated them for the past ten months;

- He has repeatedly said the US needs “nothing” from Canada, specifically mentioning our energy

- He continues to maintain crippling sectoral tariffs on Canadian steel, aluminum and certain auto components in violation of CUSMA, tariffs that are costing the Canadian economy billions of dollars and thousands of jobs;

- Senior Administration officials (Greer, Lutnick et al) have been intimating for months that CUSMA will not be renewed;

- Trump has repeatedly referred to the Canada-US border as “imaginary” and “fake.”

- His insults and provocations are too many to list, but just in the last week he has said that Canada has been “completely taken over by China” because of a discrete tariff agreement requested by western provinces and initially *endorsed by Trump*; and insulted the honour and memory of our troops, claiming that they “stayed a little back from the front lines” in Afghanistan.

Given all of that and more, you blame the Prime Minister of Canada for CUSMA being in jeopardy? WTH?

After a year of this, how can we still have some Canadians blaming Canada for Trump taking a wrecking ball to the relationship?

Under these circumstances, Prime Minister Carney has exercised remarkable restraint.

What would satisfy you? Grovelling subservience? Giving the US total control over our trade relations with the rest of the world?

We Canadians can and should debate the most prudent way to deal with the completely unpredictable and destabilizing threat from Trump. (I, for one, don’t support the recent deal with China.) But surely no reasonable person can conclude that Canada provoked or is any meaningful way to blame for this crisis.

No new funding.

Kristi Noem must RESIGN.

Greg Bovino must be FIRED.

Suspend the LAWLESS mass deportation raids nationwide NOW — ICE is no longer just deporting dangerous criminals.

Send the border patrol back to the border.

End the militarization of ICE + the sick racial profiling.

End the perverse cash incentives that are bounties to perpetrate Trump’s cruel agenda.

Require thorough, real background checks for everyone, and 2+ years of training before even setting foot in the field.

INVESTIGATE and PROSECUTE every single federal agent who is breaking the law.

[George Conway ⚖️🇺🇸 @gtconway3d]

You are a depraved, sociopathic liar.

In the same week as his humiliating climb down on Greenland, he confused Iceland and Greenland multiple times, and now his staff is confusing Antarctica with Greenland (penguins inhabit the former, not the latter.)

The most powerful nation on Earth being run like a clown show.

[David Axelrod @davidaxelrod]

Make no mistake, this latest threat and sophomoric bombast isn't about trade.
It's about ⁦@MarkJCarney⁩, the PM of Canada, forthrightly telling his people & the world hard truths about the unreliability of America as an ally and a partner in the era of ⁦Trump.

[Pete Buttigieg @PeteButtigieg]

If there was ever a moment for libertarians and conservatives to step up and join the rest of us, we’re in it.

Americans have to unite and stop this descent from a freedom-loving nation into the kind of place where masked, militarized government agents are sent to politically noncompliant areas to roam the streets, terrorize civilians, and deploy violence with impunity.

[Bill Madden @maddenifico]

This is not a US presidency, it's a mobster running a criminal enterprise out of the White House. In American history, we've never seen a criminal like Trump:

The corrupt, serial lying conman pardoned tax cheat Paul Walczak after his mother bribed Trump with $1 million at a Mar-a-Lago dinner.

Walczak stole from his employees to fund an extravagant lifestyle — and was pardoned by Trump before he ever reported to prison.

It takes a unique kind of genius to fuck up the US-Canada relationship.

[Susan Rice @AmbassadorRice]

You clowns are up to the same old tired crap. When your guy screws up and royally embarrasses himself and the U.S., you try to change the subject and lie about a favorite target to distract and deflect.

For the record, I have never met Zelenskyy and never spoken to him. Ever. Or advised him or anybody around him.

It’s a shame that you contend that it is in the U.S. national interest to sell out Ukraine and suck up to Putin.

[Christopher C. Cuomo @ChrisCuomo]

Remind me what the Trump plan is here ?
