U.S. senators urge Canada to ‘give us another chance’ on trade, tourism - National | Globalnews.ca
In other words, some Republican senators still want to insert the knife into Caanda, to drain our lifeblood, but they want it done compassionately.
As an American: DO NOT TRUST REPUBLICANS.
I've known that since the age of 6. lol To me they always seem to hide something, not tell the whole story. And they're mostly background racists.
Your second sentence is just politicians in general.
As a Canadian, DO NOT TRUST AMERICANS IN GENERAL.
Not woke and DEI enough to receive our trade and tourism dollars, sorry.
From that article,
"He [Carney] announced a $6-billion purchase of over-the-horizon radar systems from Australia in March as part of the government’s ongoing NORAD modernization project.'
A NORAD radar.
From Australia.
That just HAS to sent the Americans a message about Carney's thinking towards the Americans.
“Bookings of Canadians to come to Virginia Beach are down significantly, and colleagues of mine in other states are saying the same thing about tourism,” Democratic Sen. Tim Kaine of Virginia told Stephenson. “So we’re definitely seeing it.
I will never visit the United States again. You have the gestapo snatching people off the streets now. A large percentage of your population approves of what is happening, while not requiring the propaganda to reach or hold that conclusion.
“We were aware, because we all have great friends in Canada, that there was a lot of anxiety about, well, gosh, what do Americans think of us?” he said in explaining what spurred the senators’ visit. “The five of us wanted to come to say, ‘Look, we love Canada.'”
The anxiety that you're referencing is a direct result of your country unilaterally choosing to betray us. Not that guy Donald Trump, but you. You enabled all of this, and you have absolutely no idea how to walk any of this back. You're under the impression that you can fix this in an election cycle.
A large percentage of your population approves of what is happening, while not requiring the propaganda to reach or hold that conclusion.
I agree with everything else here, but propaganda absolutely plays a role in the current fascist movement in the States. The Venn diagram of Trump supporters and people who watch Fox News is probably pretty close to a circle.
To be clear, propaganda matters.
I'm saying that there's a segment of the fascist populace that is utterly aware of what is real, what is bullshit, and are quite content with the presence of said bullshit, as long as it maintains the current reality.
There are simply too many reasons to say no. How the US treats people entering and leaving the country. How due process is ignored for people within the country.
In broad terms the US is an unkind society. This is not to say that there are not kind individuals, but they are unable to influence the overall norm that is so clearly on display.
You don’t get to cause so many damages to a partner and then suggest we give you another chance. That ship has sailed and I am ready for us to find other trading partners and address our own internal trade barriers.
The Americans are an adversarial us-vs-them society. There always has to be a loser in the American culture.
Until we stop electing sociopaths, we don’t deserve a second chance from anybody. Canadians know that, unlike the fools who elected you.
Senators, all you’re doing is further insulting a previously close ally. The best thing you can do is shut up.
I'm a fan of balkanization. That'd fix a lot of problems quickly, albeit for a limited number of states and at the cost of making things worse for other states.
I read this in the voice of professor farnsworth from futurama.
The best thing senators can do is vote to convict Trump's impeachment.
Come to America !
See our beautiful prisons and concentration camps.
Buy American and you can feel like a Nazi too!
As for Mr. Trump’s threats of annexation? “We don’t even want them to be the 51st state,” Mr. Cramer said with a laugh. But unable to resist, he added: “We want Alberta to be the 51st state. And then we have two Republican senators.”
Fuck these guys. They're the usual entitled American idiots, blundering around in foreign countries without understanding them.
What a completely tactless piece of trash thing to say.
10 years after you hang that orange Turd we might think about it. Until then fuck off.
You want us back?
Impeach Trump.
Then, if Vance fucks around, impeach him, too. Then Johnson. Keep going until you find someone who isn't a fascist asshat.
That would help with America's "trust" problem.
I think it's more likely individual states or blocs of them regain our trust by seceding
How about fucking off to your backwards country.
hey canada, actually keep up the good work. we got some folks down here who don't get it yet. we'll be in touch once we've fixed our shit
You have almost an entire POPULATION that 'doesn't get it yet'.
Call us when you understand what 'recognition and reconciliation policy'. is all about.
Go jump in a lake
Watching them go through the stages of grief is immensely satisfying. Should've thought of that before you threatened our sovereignty.
Actually, US senators are in a position to do something that would actually go some way toward repairing relations with Canada - they can (with the House's cooperation) remove the profoundly mentally ill, immensely dangerous and brazenly corrupt demagogue Trump from office.
Nothing short of that is going to accomplish much of anything though. As long as that psychopath is in office, incrementally turning the presidency into a dictatorship from which to pursue his literally insane agenda, nobody will or should trust the US for anything.
A profound apology would also help.
I was actually just thinking about that, sort of.
The childish and sort of pathetic nature of the whole thing led me to visualize a hardass middle-aged mom dragging Trump up to Canada by the ear and standing him in front of everyone and saying, "Donnie has something he wants to say to you all, don't you Donnie (pinch)"
In a way, that's exactly what that manbaby needs.
"we'll talk after your next election, if you have one."
I don't know if that is a good idea for us. Even if in two years they take back congress and the senate, the next two years after that they could put in another pack of lunatic fascists. I think we should continue with our diversifying strategy and put much more effort into CETA and CPTPP.
It is their entire adversarial culture that needs to change. The Americans HAVE to have an enemy, even if they change a friend into an enemy.
Never for me regardless if who's ruling is democrats or republican
This is the only response needed to any overtures from the US: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VAbATWsvjTE
And sorry Democrats, until you get your Republican problem under control, we can't trust you either. In 2016 it looked like it might just be a flare-up, but the reappearance of symptoms indicates that the infection is deeper and ongoing.
That video deserves its own post. 😁🙂
🤣😸😂😝😹🥹🤨🤣😸😝😅🙄🫤
No.
Eject the fascist first, then we can talk.
No, no talk until they understand "recognition and reconciliation policy. "
Don't give us another chance until we grow up.
-US citizen
This motivates me more in my boycott.
Exactly, because it shows our efforts are working.
Why? It's abundantly clear any further chances will be pissed upon.
Eat my entire ass, until the fascist is out and you take real steps to make sure that can't happen again, I'll shop elsewhere. I learned to cook over this.
Nope. Not in my lifetime.
tRump is just a symptom. The USA is and always has been an oligarchy, founded on genocide and grown through slavery, patriarchy and misogyny. The original constitution gave ALL political power to Rich White Males and only superficial changes have been made over the last 250 years, the real power still remains with the oligarchs. tRump has just dropped the mask for the world to see what a fascist shit-stain of a country the U.S. really is at its core. The world (and Canada) will be extremely unwise to ever trust them again no matter which faction of the oligarchy is in power.
When Americans understand what ' recognition and reconciliation policy' is all about, they might also understand where they went wrong with Canadians.
Go fuck yourself!
Quit being cunts and maybe people will eventually give us another chance, but I won't blame them if they don't.
You have to earn the second chance, yanks. And given the size of the betrayal, you got to work hard, very hard, to earn it.
Keep safe Canada. Dont give in. My heart has hope you will stay safe out of these people's grasp.
Much love.
Maybe if a friendly Congressperson offers to be an escort through customs.
I might, in four years or so, but probably not. There's a segment of Americans that have the memories of goldfish.
Hopefully, Canadians will have a LONG memory.
Not again in my lifetime. (Presumably a lot longer than 4 years)
I'll be fascinated to see who the R candidate is, and if the election is free and fair at all.
If Trump is in any state to do anything about it, it won't be.
Nah.
Suck it republican maga traitors. You’re trump’s slaves and everyone knows it.
