Canada will keep in place its retaliatory tariffs against US-made products as long as President Donald Trump persists with a trade war, said Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister-designate.

    Good luck – E. Jean Carroll just kept getting excuses to re-sue him, which was hilarious, since he just could. not. resist. defaming her when legally ordered not to. :). The man seems absolutely compelled to double-down on his disrespect if he is pressured to act like a decent person. He just can’t resist trying to “assert dominance” or something.


    Carney should formally demand Krasnov “say Thank You” for our water, oil, wood, steel, potash and aluminum, before we drop tariffs. Heh.

    EDIT: Vance, too. He should have to say Thank You, on the air, on Fox ‘News’, before we drop tariffs.

        this congress? the majority is drunk on the maga juice, the minority is a disorganized mess still in shock. and combined, the vast majority is bought and paid for by those who stand to gain the most from this shitshow.

    It seems selling Tariffs to his constituency as something that only affects other countries was his biggest grift after all.

    Ah, who am I kidding. It’s all grift. A gigantic hairball of grift.

    I wish I knew enough about Canadian politics to have a deeper opinion, but afaics: Good

    Oh and as a Eu citizen I feel very good about Canada maybe hopefully joining some sort of alliance with us. I didn’t have it on my radar before 2025.

      You know Canada is a NATO founding member, don’t you?

      Also we have a free trade agreement with Canada.

      The Democrats don’t tend to immediately back out of whatever direction the previous Republicans set the country in. maybe it has something to do with not being wasteful or respecting democracy or I don’t know . I’d imagine this New foreign policy will last for 20 years.

    Good to see Carney is holding the line. But will he keep/bulid off of the energy Trudeau used?
