"We're going to be demanding respect from other nations," Trump said.Β Β
Respect needs to be mutual. He sounds like the typical asshole uncle that always acts like they're owed respect be have never showed any in return.

Reminds me of this image:
This how the aholes in my company treated our vendors. Vendors said go suck it, leading to increasing lead times to "yeah I dk when you'll get stuff" for a year. The fact it happened 2x in a few year is mine boggling.
Ah, did you work for a Volkswagen or General Motors supplier in the late 1990s and early 2000s?
Because I recall that exact situation, and the resulting crash of quality.
Rofl I won't say much but let's say I'm very certain they were rehired somewhere I know and then fired for the same behavior. Lessons here is don't hire anyone from auto industry. They are just bullies.
Respect is earned, not given.
Most of the world had respect for America before Maga surfaced and it was revealed that it was full of Morons and Nazis. At least more than was suspected before.
I suppose Albertans in oil and gas should call Danielle and tell her to stop the clown tricks and join Team Canada now.
That would require them to have the ability to perceive consequences in the future.
These are the type of people that get a notoriously unstable job making 6 figures on a high school education and immediately lease a brand new $80K truck and start a coke habit because they can currently afford it.
Yeah. That's the Alberta legislature, but what about its citizens? They're gonna be out of a job unless Alberta thinks of something else.
I have an idea: do what Peter lougheed promised to do, which won the election for the cons for the first time in decades. Do that. He didn't, and they didn't, so maybe now? Just grab his notes.
they're going to be out of a job
Isnt that kind of their own fault, though? Aren't they the ones that keep electing these mini brains who only care about themselves?
"Team Canada" is bogus crap. Interprovincial trade barriers mean the cult mantra of "Team Canada is a distraction tactic from blaming the Liberal party for any tariffs and loss of jobs in Canada.
I can't imagine 12 of 13 premiers would agree on taking some of the heat off of any federal party, especially one that's all but leaderless.
Is the federal party that you are saying is leaderless? Why do you say 12 out of 13? Who are you not counting, and why?
I'm sure you must know the answers already but clearly I'm replying to your comment and referring to the Liberals, the party whose leader has announced his resignation. And once again, it's pretty clear Danielle Smith is the odd one out. She refused to sign off on the first ministers letter a couple weeks ago and every single other premier has been specifically quoted as supporting a team Canada approach, even Scott Moe.

Make America Great Depression Again
MAGDA!
"Felon who has had no need or interest in the price of oil, gas, vehicles or lumber makes statements about the necessity of oil, gas, vehicles, and lumber"
Fixed the headline
But we do need the Food that Canada grows and exports to the US. So fuck you trump you idiot. He bankrupted a CASINO!!!
He's probably right wrt the USA needing our exports, as much as it sucks for us.
Maybe now we'll actually diversify our industries and seek out new buyers.
Probably not though, since PP is gonna be in charge and that man baby only wants to double down on selling oil to the USA, and thats the entire extent of his economic plan. And by that I mean he is gonna throw money at oil companies and hope it magically turns into more sales to the USA.
What's the opposite of diversify?
Consolidation.
I mean we could just close the borders/ air travel a few days a week as a trial run to see how it goes. A trail separation if you will
Does that mean we can answer the late night calls from the EU?
Then I guess Canada can just switch lumber production and construction standards over to metric now.
Shortly after, tradespeople across Canada burst in flames.
Every country that transitioned had some difficulty l, and it is a good idea for a metric country to use metric in construction ... but it would make for good political ammunition.
A 2x4 stopped being a 2x4 so long ago, and keeps becoming less, we might as well measure them in metric now
There's a joke to be made here that the Amish still use actual 2x4's, but it's a bit dated.
Trump can go fuck himself!
What a moron.
That's the thing, Canada is mostly a raw materials exporter and the main importer is US industry.
It'd basically be like when China tried to "Wolf-warrior" Australia and ended up with coal, pork and grain shortages.
I'd love to watch the US handle skyrocketing prices because they got rid of all the immigrants, then they got rid of Canadian lumber and oil, causing those prices to skyrocket as well.
Add to that the costs of the yet again border wall, costs of the immigration ~~death camps~~ vacation parks with all the guards, legal shit and transportation, the tax cuts for the wealthy and the extra taxes for people who already can't make it to the end of the month.
So far, el cheeto is doing GREAT!
Something occurred to me while watching some news yesterday. It won't take ICE raids removing people from farms for the effect to materialize. The fear from raids will cause people to stop showing up for work at the farms before that. That's why I think we'll see the effects on food prices quicker.
Absolutely, the results are already visible, and prices in the US keep rising.
People voted trump to make the inflation go down and he just started a trade war with Canada and Mexico and is about to start one with Europe
Seriously, by the time he's gone, the US will be in shambles. Soft power will have evaporated, any good deals they had world wide will be gone, the US will likely never recover
Trump can ban Canadian imports to prove that he's not bluffing
Maple. Syrup.
