International affairs are not always a zero sum gain meaning that whatever we get they give. But a lot of it is in fact just that. Trade competition is only not a zero sum gain where one country has a lot of something the other needs and does not have. Like rare earth minerals or oil.
But Canada has nothing important that we dont have in abundance. The only thing they can give us is a lower price on things likeoil gas iron ore etc than our US owner are willing to sell for. That is the definition of a zero sum gain.
So screw Canada. They beg us to buy their bauxite and crude oil.
They voted against the leader of another country to get back at themselves. I guess us having to put up with another failed state on our borders is their way of punishing us.
I like President Trump but he wanted this guy in charge in Canada if the Canucks where dumb enough to fall for his 51st state trolling and not what would have been good for the country then Canada deserves every ounce of pain they are about to go through
“Carney pledged to “punish” Canadian companies that contribute to “climate change.”
There are TWO large countries that will be benefit from Global warming. One of them is handling the issue PERFECTLY, the other is Canada.
You left out something else. Carney will have no sympathizers in the US. Trump is free to go in hard on them now. Had the other guy won, at least some Republicans would have tried to get him to take it easy. So expect higher tariffs and a worsening economic situation in Canada - and its already pretty bad there.
How I wish we could convince our homegrown regressives what a paradise Canada will soon be, and how they ought emigrate thither.
The majority of Canadian voters obviously have TDS. They are going to show us by ruining their own country.
These retards will reap the whirlwind.
Did this guy even campaign?
‘Consequences Arrive for Canadian Voters, and They Deserve Every Bit of It’
I couldn’t agree more.
And it’s their own fault.
Agreed.
Pierre even lost his own seat. He was not able to pivot to the new circumstances after Trump talked about them becoming the, 51st state.
Pierre felt a need to become very anti Trump, which is understandable, but a more talented politician would have simply said, we need to keep our focus on what is best for Canada, etc.
“Canadians should be reminded that they chose this. What’s done is done, and you can’t save people who don’t want to be saved. So let them suffer.”
Kind of like the USA and our Democrat problem.
Hoist by their own retards.
in two years Canada will be begging to be a US state.
Canada is a lovely country with wonderful people that I will never set foot in again until those same wonderful people (as a whole)* acquire the good sense to choose a Conservative leader, rather than a Communist.
*Don’t worry. I know Canadian FReepers did not vote to punish Trump by punishing themselves.
Good point. Donald Trump did all of this according plan.
....until those same wonderful people (as a whole)* acquire the good sense to choose a Conservative leader, rather than a Communist.
“Canadians should be reminded that they chose this.....

Just by way of some basic facts.... Canada has a population of about 41 million. In the past 10 years, the liberals under Trudeau let in about 5 million immigrants. The immigrants in Canada tend to all vote liberal. These folks didn’t all vote (or all vote Liberal) but who can win when the other side has a head start of that magnitude? PDJT met the issue of migration (and what it was doing to the electorate) in a head on way.... the Conservatives in Canada did not seem that they wanted to confront the issue at all. Bottom line is that the population demographics are such that it is hard to visualize a Conservative ever winning (at least at a federal level) in Canada again. Just think of where the US would be if PDJT had NOT won the 2024 election and there had been another round of immigration along the lines of what seen in the past 4 years.... well, that is where Canada is at.
As for PP losing his own seat.... there were shenanigans galore in his riding. Start with gerrymandering his riding, then dump 100 independent candidate in and you get what you get. The Conservatives overall captured a higher percent of the vote than previous elections, they won more seats... but the leader of the party who had won his seat in 4 consecutive elections (I think it was) loses his own seat? That being legit takes about as much belief as Brib’em winning the majority of the bell weather counties in 2020...
