Yeah, what country in their right mind would want to trade with the world’s largest economy?
so basically Canada becoming a 51st state.
gee I wonder why it didn’t work out? /s
Cool. What does this have to do with the stock market?
Trump is such a frustratingly short term thinker. He looks at the position the US holds in the world, sees a power imbalance in their favour, and thinks every other leader was just too stupid to take advantage of that. He doesn’t understand or particularly care that other countries won’t put up with that and will quickly move to minimise US leverage. And when this is the relationship you’re now in with the *entire world*, it doesn’t bode well for the future of your country. And there aren’t even any great upsides! The US hasn’t gained anything that matters and tariffs and just making inflation even worse.
Our “allies” have been ripping off the US.
Fuck no, Eh!
An empire that looks to canabalize it’s allies is an empire in decline.
you don’t ask for a veto when negotiating in good faith
“Not all were publicly confirmed”. (Look at disclaimers in fine print at bottom) I hate Trump as much as anyone but I’ve not seen any proof of this being real thus far
* **Cheaper Tech and Online Shopping:** Lowering de minimis thresholds (Point 12) means you could order goods from U.S. online retailers tax-free and duty-free, leading to cheaper prices on everyday items.
* More Streaming and Media Choices: Eliminating CanCon quotas (Point 5) means streaming services like Netflix or Spotify would show you content based purely on popularity and your algorithm, rather than forcing Canadian content into your feeds.
* **Cheaper Groceries:** Dismantling supply management (Point 7) would likely result in an immediate drop in the price of milk, cheese, chicken, and eggs at the grocery store.
Basically, the US wants to rule Canada.
At this point, the US can just eat 💩.
Va chier mon câlisse
That’s a No from me, dog.
As an American, that has got to be the stupidest shit I’ve ever seen America try to do
As a U.S.ed up citizen, I want to apologize to our Canadian friends. There’s a lot of people in America that get fooled into voting against their own best interests or just want someone else to realize their worst impulses, so they can pretend to be “nice people.”
Page not found on globalnews.ca – how much of this is BS ?
Just wow, the audacity is breathtaking.
Right… these terms are treating Canada as a vassal state.
Who could have predicted this deal would fall through
America acting like the crazy ex
As a Canadian I am so saddened for the USA. We all grew up looking at your culture through the glass and so much of who we are is based on the best parts of capitalism, democracy, and everybody having a chance to make it not to mention pop culture. I am hopeful we will find our way back there.
