Trump ‘acting like the enemy,’ Ford says as premiers wrap final day of meetings

Following a day of talks focused on domestic issues, such as bail reform and health transfers, Canada’s premiers are wrapping up their three-day gathering in Muskoka presenting a united front in the ever-looming threat of U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade war.

“We can walk and chew gum at the same time,” New Brunswick Premier Susan Holt said during a post-meeting press conference. “What’s happened is that the pressing threats that Donald Trump has made to our economy have meant that instead of occupying all of our meetings and squeezing out conversations about bail reform and immigration, we’ve been meeting a lot more.”

"We’ve spent a lot more time together in my entire tenure as premier in just eight months than I think my predecessor would have spent in six years,” Holt also said.

The premiers are wrapping up three days of meetings in Huntsville, Ont., hosted by Ontario Premier and Council of the Federation Chair Doug Ford.

While the provincial and territorial leaders have covered topics ranging from internal trade barriers to health transfers and immigration, the threat of Trump and his trade war loomed large.

Prime Minister Mark Carney also joined the premiers in Muskoka for a meeting on Tuesday, aimed mostly at giving an update on the state of negotiations with the United States.

Trump works 18 hours a day 7 days a week. He’s making all these lazy commies work for a change and they hate him for it. Go back to bed snow Mexicans.

So, what you’re REALLY saying is your, ‘Gravy Train’ is leaving the station and you may just have to WORK for what the Canadian Taxpayers (who are RAPED even more so than American Taxpayers) PAY you to do?

Socialists. So good at STEALING other people’s money...and WHINING when they have to do some actual WORK!

Yeah, yeah, yeah... we get it, Susie. You guys have been laser-focused for the past eight months (since last year’s US election win by Trump) on the ‘real enemy’ you face... the orange man bad. You claim that you can walk and chew gum at the same time but the problem is... you’re walking blind, deaf, dumb and stupid... which means that you leftists are stumbling down Jack@ss Lane with your heads up your rear ends. Quite a feat, even for Cannucks. We American patriots are in awe of your skillz....lol.

So... you Canadians elected an actual commmunist to replace Trudeau, another communist, to rule ‘over’ your citizens with even more of an iron grip while you whine, bitch and moan about American tariffs that are only balancing the scales... yet you deem Trump as the enemy? Good job, Canaduh. You’re running true to form, while we Americans have righted our ship, albeit maybe only temporarily (time will tell).

Meanwhile, the big bad bear Donald is improving our economy, recuperating our military and our national security, deporting criminals, eliminating leftist woke insanity and making life worth living again in the USA. He is making American cities safer again by getting rid of all the ‘sorta-human refuse’ that leaders of your ilk have allowed into our country for the past four plus years.

I don’t know where all of this is going or how it will end, but right now I’m feeling much better about being an American than I ever did with one of your friends, the leftist Democrats, in control of the nation. So you can meet and talk and plot and plan all you want. We American patriots will be waiting if you ever get up the nerve to do more than bloviate. We’re patient that way.

Oh, and.... about that comment of your illustrious commie leader Carney about “not trusting Trump as far as he can throw him”. The feeling is mutual. You can bank on that.

Does this mean Trump is a good thing for everyday Canadians? At least politicians don’t have time to talk about flooding the country with more migrants and letting criminals back out on the street.

PDJT is holding their feet to the fire on tariff negotiations and the Canadian pussies don’t like it.

The Japan deal has seemed to set the mold for the West on tariffs when they agreed to the 15% level. EU cannot expect us to penalize Japan auto imports competitively by providing the EU the 10% tariff they are insisting on. In the end, they will agree to 15%. Both will onshore more auto production in the US Looks like this is shaping up to 15% on rich nations, 19% on less advanced nation and special higher tariffs on the Big Cheat, China.

It'll be interesting to see what will happen with Canada. They're acting like @$$holes and they got away with it for a long time.

If you have to say it, you probably can't do it.

He brought the crack, so he's in charge.

It would be great to see a movie about Bob and Doug Ford, but John Candy and Chris Farley are both no around anymore, so ...

Canada has been our enemy since the advent of Turdeau. Let’s stop kidding ourselves.
