OTTAWA — Shortly after his election in late 2015, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau declared “Canada is back,” promising a renewed Canadian presence on the world stage.
Trudeau has taken political hits since then for minor lapses, such as a luxury family holiday visit to a Caribbean island and an ill-fated trip to India, but his biggest challenge, just a year before Canadians go to the polls, has come from the leader of Canada’s longtime military ally and economic partner.
Now, Canadians worried that their government has been sidelined in crucial trade talks and may be forced to back down on important economic issues, having been outmaneuvered by President Trump and possibly sold out by an erstwhile Mexican ally.
Several rounds of tense discussions about the North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA) culminated Monday in a trade pact that excluded Canada, prompting Foreign Minister Chrystia Freeland to cut short a trip to Europe and dash to Washington for the first trilateral trade talks with the United States and Mexico in five weeks.

“....America no longer, ‘leads from behind.’...”
Can you imagine what would have happened to this country if HITLERY had won???? A real ugly nightmare...
IIRC, TP, or at least the wood, comes from Canada.
75% american and mexican content in cars, that leaves 25% for japan,china, taiwan, the eu and canada to split.
oops justin..
EDIT:
Who HAS the weed?
“Until this week, Canadians thought they had a special place with America,”
Yeah, at the head of the line in playing “f*uck your neighbor!” I have read that all the “dairy protectionism” ( read 250% tariffs on milk, etc,) are at the behest of Quebec. Canada should have offed these French prigs a half century ago. Let them hook up to Maricon and his bunch in Paris,and get rid of this silly and expensive dual language nonsense. If you’ve ever been to Quebec, you understand that they are not really a part of Canada by choice.
Oh yes - our stupid Prime Minister had that “special place with America” on his mind when he went out and shot his big mouth off like the coward he is after the G7.
The canadians are going on strike (south park).
Is old “thunder thighs” in the purple dress their leader?
Canada is a flea on an elephant. It doesn’t matter to the USA or the rest of the world.
“What, exactly, do we need from Canada??”
French Honker Nasal Spray? I think their only US customer is Bill Maher. Or perhaps Jeff “My Crooked Honker Needs a Crowbar Realignment” Flake.
“Canada is a flea on an elephant. It doesn’t matter to the USA or the rest of the world.”
But Trudeau acts like a flea climbing up that elephant’s leg with rape in mind!
Get on the Trump Train or get run over.
Toot Toot! 
Yep. The Brow was too afraid to take a shot at Trump face to face.
He waited until Trump was on a Ir Force 1.
What we get from Canada is America- and Trump-haters like James Cameron, Jim Carey and Seth Rogen.
Wish this was video instead of a still. Maybe with soundtrack music, the Yakuza scene from Kill Bill!
If you are wondering whether someone has fooled or outmaneuvered you...then it happened a long time ago.
Out thinking Fidel’s kid is something that Trump probably did while sleeping.
Old joke but I can’t remember the punch line.
Did Prime Minister Fluffbalk’s other eyebrow fall off when he heard Mexico had cut a deal?
