“I am ready to sit down with President Trump at the appropriate time under a position where there is respect for Canadian sovereignty and we are working for a common approach, a much more comprehensive approach for trade,” Carney said.

This is the way. Leaders need to stop entertaining the orange idiot. He’s the shitty kid that breaks stuff to get attention. Trump needs a time out.

I like Iran’s attitude. They said “Whatever. Do what you’re going to do.” and didn’t bother having more of a conversation.

This is what Canada needs to do.

    Ain’t gonna happen

    Trump wants Canada for whatever reason it is and he won’t let go. I fully expect him to threaten (and execute) with military actions if Canada doesn’t capitulate

    Maybe a cynical point of view but we’re talking about idiots with access to nukes that won’t give up

      Insert article 5 turning the US into a hostile country and the millions of Canadians (who coincidentally look like Americans) with their new-found American citizenship & right to bear arms.

      Going to feel so liberated!

      I’m just hoping the chaos he’s causing internally will take down the USA sooner than he can invade.

        They will not survive a war with Canada. We won’t beat their military in direct combat but the insurgency right next door which can easily cross into their homeland, hit some of their most populous cities, and hide easily in Canadian wilderness, would end way faster than Afghanistan and Vietnam with the same outcome

        Yes there’ll be suffering on both sides, but it’s suicide. I’d rather he accomplishes that another way but fuck it

      He wants our resources and, as the premier of BC said: if the president’s so interested in Canadian water, we’re gonna help him by letting him keep his watery beer.

      I saw a reference the other day to him as yam tits which is the single best moniker anyone could come up with.

        There are truly so many good ones. I’ve never before seen such extensive creativity in name calling. It’s something I go out of my way not to do with almost anyone else. But while I still try to keep things tame, it feels like I’m dishonoring myself and respectable Canadians any time I use Dumpster’s real name.

      He could call him President Musk, because isn’t that the truth?
