* Trump’s anti-Canada agenda has little support in Congress or from the American people. It has cut deeply into tourism from Canada. It has cut deeply into purchases of American goods by Canadians. It has undercut the chances of his fellow conservatives winning government in Ottawa.
* It has cut deeply into the goodwill that existed for so long from Canadians toward the U.S. Now, about two-thirds of Canadians view the U.S. unfavourably. Before Mr. Trump the number was only about one-quarter.
* The purpose of his campaign has been to bring Canada more and more into the American fold. It has backfired. He’s rallied Canadians against a common enemy. He’s prompted Ottawa to pursue decoupling initiatives from the U.S. heretofore unseen.
Fuck that government. Whiniest babies to ever get elected.
Fuck the orange turd
Who cares what Homelander thinks.
Stay mad Canadians, keep the elbows up, we’re winning!
Absolute joke of a country.
I think it is fair to say that all of Trump’s policies both foreign and domestic have been a train wreck.
About the only thing he is good at is corruption but man does he excel in that arena.
If the American people don’t support what their president says, that’s on the American people.
Only Americans can change that.
We’re waiting.
Why even grief about it? Just cut tie with US, focus on Canadian! Innovate, adapt, improve and be better than USA. Stop whining.
Why is this article even here? Trump said he didn’t need Canada so let it be so. We don’t need to travel to the US and spend our money.
Not today but in the future, say 10 plus years, what are the odds for a Russia Ukraine style land grab of Alberta? The US can claim the separatists want to join the union and take another oil rich territory like they did Venezuela. Is there a 5% chance? 10%? The scary thing is, I don’t think it’s 0.
Depends on the actual goal. If the intent is to bring Canada more under the US boot, then yes, it has been so far a failure. However, if the intent is destroy US creditability, reduce it’s global leadership role, and permanent damage 80 years of alliances, he’s succeeding.
It would be interesting to see an article **”Canada isn’t dropping its Anti-American campaign.”**
Given the reality is that we started the trade war, for more information take a look at the Northern Perspective video

And yet Carney’s Liberals have little to no intention to actually work to make amends and actually get a deal like Carney claimed he could when he ran.
yet instead this “New” Liberal government, which is basically the Same liberal government that has increased the cost of living, watched as our crime rates sky rocketed. and ignored all the issues facing Canadians, all the while padding the pockets of Carney and his ministers.
We need to stop the BS of ” oh we stand by the deals we have made with the USA”… Fuck the USA, and cut them off from our resources.
A major risk to our sovereignty is Danielle Smith. She is a full maga supporter and out to destroy our country.
Everyone needs to wait and see if and when a reasonable administration gets voted in, sadly I think there’s a lot of republicans that have learned the art of the deal, so like I said “if and when a reasonable administration gets elected “.
Trump has gone his entire life without admitting fault or failure. Do people think that’s magically going to change now?
What do we expect? Trump is a flailing, self-obsessed, comic book super villain, with no ability to admit wrong doing. Furthermore, he has very little recourse but to… uh, is it octuple-down now? Anyway, he has no choice but to continue to threaten Canada in some way. His base (around 30% of Americans), have been sold on the idea that external factors and nations (Canada included) are the root causes of USA’s problems, to admit any form of defeat, will shatter any chances of credibility with them.
It simply it what it is.
He seems to have managed to sway some hockey fans, if Reddit is any indication.
Considering he’s easily one of there worse presidents ever and failing on almost every front why would we expect him to change course because he’s failing here? Unless we were operating an island like manager Bibi..
He’s circled back to Greenland as well in recent days. He’s in trouble and knows only one tune.
I can’t wait until Americans realize trump is destroying their country.
We will have to make it more of a failure.
He wants to control our resources and ideology, that has never changed but we all were just a bit too relieved when he gave up going on about us every day.
I propose that r/canada ban all Trump news. That shit face lives for this, stop feeding him please.
He’s a strongman, not a smart man…
Gift link, anyone?
Trump, and the USA, can fuck right off. Canada has had the wake-up call; we’re ditching the USA and finding new partners.
Let it play out.
And yet there are clowns in this country that still want us to just roll over and show our bellies to the US… it’s unreal.
The hope is this absurdly disappears with him, soon. Soon.
