Incoming Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says he’s ready to meet with U.S. Donald Trump if he respects Canadian sovereignty and is open to talk about a common approach to trade.

“I am ready to sit down with President Trump at the appropriate time under a position where there is respect for Canadian sovereignty and we are working for a common approach, a much more comprehensive approach for trade,” Carney said.

This is the way. Leaders need to stop entertaining the orange idiot. He’s the shitty kid that breaks stuff to get attention. Trump needs a time out.

I like Iran’s attitude. They said “Whatever. Do what you’re going to do.” and didn’t bother having more of a conversation.

This is what Canada needs to do.

    They will pay attention when their prices skyrocket. Other then that they are braindead to anything else. I say, let it happen.

      Maybe, but who will they direct that anger at?

      Will it be at Trump and his cronies, or will they direct it at whoever they are told is “America’s enemies”?

      Maybe, but there’s a good chance that they’ll blame Canada.

        On one hand, more than 50% of Americans read below a 6th grade level so it wouldn’t be surprising if they misattributed the blame. I doubt many would be able to tell you what a tariff is or how it works.

        But on the other, greater than 50% are not pleased with how Trump has handled the economy thus far and the consequences haven’t even hit their wallets yet.

        Americans are extremely disconnected politically but if there’s one thing they care about its the price of gas. If that goes up substantially then they will blame the president.
