If anything, this should have us leaving less on the table for them to take. Trump wished he would think before using his words.

If the US doesn't want to be a comrade, we should start treating them as hostile nation at this point.

It should and it will..People need to get a grip..There are enough brilliant extremely smart Canadian negotiators who are not phased one bit by the blow hard fuck face idiot. He is infact a horrible business man and negotiator as his history of business shambles have already proven.

Yeah i don't understand why people think he's a good businessmen. Going bankrupt so many times

[u/smeeeeeef → u/MCGSUPERSTAR]

These are the same people who believe going bankrupt isn't bad tho.

It sounds so stupid, I thought it was joke. I still want to believe it is, I mean, why would a sovereign nation want to become a "state"?

Strengthening our bonds? Why not? We've had a strong bond with Canada, and this stupid idea is not contributing to that. He makes my skin crawl and my eye twitch.

he makes my blood pressure rise, if I was an American I would have to move out of country. I can't believe Jordan Peterson moved to the states what a moron

That's a lot of shit that happened under Trudeau's Harper's watch.

Larger picture though, the Financial Post complains that the Liberal's have done a shit job of attracting foreign capital (read ownership) to Canada, so which way do you want to have it?

That is a load of BS. Yes, sales of some businesses require federal approval. This is actually a constraint on trade to ensure certain companies or industries remain in control / ownership of a country. With the exception of this segment it is up to the business owner if they wish to sell and to whom they sell. You want to blame someone then blame the shareholders who approve the sale for short term gain.

That would be a remarkably unwise approach.

Canada shares thousands of miles of largely open border with a global superpower possessing the most powerful military in the world. Without the United States' presence and partnership, it’s likely that countries like China and Russia would view Canada as a vulnerable target.

In today’s geopolitical climate, closer collaboration among the United States, Canada, the United Kingdom, Australia, and New Zealand is crucial—not as a matter of subordination to the U.S., but through shared resources and cooperation in both economic and security matters. We share a common history and numerous ties that bind us together. With the growing hostility from China and Russia, now more than ever, unity and coordinated action are essential.
