Dear Canada, turn off the oil, turn off the electricity and turn off the potash. Other countries will buy it.

Wake up World, wash Your hands of America and let it flounder in its own dirt.

Canada should stop the export of Uranium. We'll see how USA deals with the lack of Uranium for all USA'S nuclear power stations

This is a wild move. Feels like Trump just cranked the difficulty level to Insane mode for North American trade. Does Carney actually have a strategy here, or is he just trying to keep his streak alive while the economy takes a hit? Total chaos.

If you want to help Canada, stay in the UK, avoid the US.

The European Allies and Canada MUST break all ties with the US of Aggression.
Will it be painful? - YES but no pain, no gain.
@
STOP BUYING US PRODUCE / PRODUCTS / PROWHATEVER.

Just stop reporting on Trump and his idiotic behaviour. Ignore him. Canada closes its borders to the US and keeps the idiots out. Just like that.
@
Funny how we got along with Canada before. He is such a loser.
@
Trump keeps claiming that the world respects the USA more than ever before. I hate to tell him, but he has singlehandedly made the USA look like an incredibly immature and grossly incompetent country. Far from gaining more respect, its actions are enraging many around the globe and they are being increasingly loathed rather than loved.
@
Trump has shown very clearly that he is Canada's enemy.

If you see a ‘made in 🇺🇸’ product, move along.

this is probably just retaliation for Carney getting hugs from the Spanish football team, while he got the no look handshake.

More Illegal Dump tariffs that will have to be refunded. 🙄

All other countries should take note. Agreements with this administration are worthless.

Stop calling the USA and Canada friends and allies. Those days are gone.

I agree, Priya. Do you think these shifts are designed to appease different factions, or is there a specific mechanism that triggers these reshuffles so early on?

That's a fair point, RetroRick. I'm looking into the sources now to see if there's any concrete data on those stability ratios.

He's been an enemy of Canada . He's playing Hitler's playbook called project 2025. My country needs to wake up to this evil. Kristi noem is working for a mining company in British Columbia. The US ambassador to Canada has done nothing but try to infiltrate and divide . And I suspect the Alberta separation is United states involvement as well. What else Eh?

They said Donald has never been the same since being dumped by a Canadian model in the 60's. How sad.
