It’s becoming quite obvious that Ford is trying to help the liberals stay in power.

That’s actually great idea. It’s hard to tell now whether the car flag people are tv watchers or freedom folks, 1 American and 1 Canadian would make the statement needed! Cheers!

I don't like the retaliatory rhetoric that Trump uses when talking to the PM of Canada. It ramps up hostility and resistance to positive relations.

The best revenge is living well.

I would hope the channels of communication stay open.

We need to work with Canada regarding the flow of fentanyl into US from Canada and

step up the inspection of Chinese ships coming into Canada that are getting very little inspections of merchandise.

Canada is a beautiful country that has been under ruthless leadership.

One has to question the real intentions of this trade war and whose interests are being served and to what end. Trump, Ford et. al. are paid actors, nothing more. What do their paymasters want? Most don't want to ponder this.

Trump walked into a spiraled-down mess. The Biden administration ramped up as much debt between November 5 and January 20, 2025 (election and inauguration day). No doubt you have heard the DOGE reports of USAID and NGO money drains.

I do like transparency in government and hopefully this will be a period of resetting priorities that are positive for the economy and the American people. Striking out at our neighbors is NOT the solution. Praying for wisdom of leaders and peace.

Right-left politics are a psyop. Hope lies in seeing through this veil.

Due to the 2 trillion spent during the covid psyop, it's devastating.

Many different economists are looking at global recessions and one in US too.

It's cyclic. Martin Armstrong interview ttps://usawatchdog.com/europe-is-falling-needs-war-with-russia-martin-armstrong/ and also Edward Dowd are truthful about the coming recession/depression. https://usawatchdog.com/danger-of-deep-worldwide-recession-in-2025-ed-dowd/

Calling people names is juvenile. I think everyone is tired of the name calling.

Dumpy is crazy. He cares about no one but himself and hasn't a clue abour how things actually work! End of story. Ford isn't much better but at least he's a Canadian!

That's part of the psyop: focus on the paid actors. It keeps people focused on form instead of substance. That's how these cheap tricks work and why they work so well at formenting misdirection.

Americans need money to pay for their Debt

Doing everything they can.

What they are actually doing to us is illegal and they know it. Breaking USMCA.

But it can take years in Courts to fix.

Americans need money to pay for their. TAX CUTS!

You obviously don't listen to the real news because the Fentanyl travels in the other direction.

A brief video by US professor of classics and military history Victor Davis Hanson that I viewed yesterday sums this spat up quite well. Trump does not want another California-sized mass of Harris voters (i.e. Canada). Trump does want border security.

Davis noted that Canada had one of the most powerful militaries during WW2, and that we should build on the country's naval expertise by building ships to patrol our Arctic coastline.

The history of the US shows that when DC wants to exert hard influence over a country, the first move often is to destabilize its economy. Over the coming months it will be interesting to see if our Canadian news starts reporting on activities by “radical“ groups - another tool in the empire’s playbook

Confessions of an Economic Hit Man.

Canada is about to be on the wrong end of it.

I don't think Ford's plea on CNN was all that bad but there's gotta be more to what Trump is up to.

Mechanisms have been in place for decades to resolve trade disputes.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/General_Agreement_on_Tariffs_and_Trade

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/North_American_Free_Trade_Agreement

Typically disputes are settled by negotiations, often refereed by impartial agents. What is not typical is using executive power to dictate resolutions. The reasons are clear enough. If you by-pass the established mechanisms you invite retaliation, and as we're seeing, escalation.

You can't point to a single tariff (dairy for instance) and use that as an example of unfair trade. There may be a quid-pro-quo that was negotiated around those tariffs. There are all sorts of reason that things are the way they are. If you suspect an imbalance, then you go through the established mechanisms and if that doesn't work, you revisit them through the power of Congress, not by executive fiat.

Our leadership is so corrupt. They cannot even negotiate a basic border/ drug trafficking deal. They want to cripple our economy.

Dough Ford is not in charge of Foreign Affairs. He is not entitled to menace the USA on behalf of Canada. Period.

How will Poilievre and Carney react to such a lack of diplomacy and usurpation of powers?
