Huge. "Canada just walked away from the United States. We ended our economic and security ties with Trump’s America, but it was historically stunning nonetheless. Not in some passive, “we’re disappointed” way. Not a strongly-worded letter. Not a polite diplomatic eye-roll. No — Prime Minister Mark Carney gave a full break-up speech on live TV.
“The era of deep economic, security, and military ties between Canada and the United States is over.”
And just like that, 150+ years of the world’s most peaceful, "mutually beneficial, boring-but-beautiful border relationship... done - dismantled by one orange blowhard/rapis/felon cosplaying as a capable President when he’s just a Russian asset in a fucking diaper.
"This comes after Trump allegedly tried to set up a phone call with Carney, to which Carney said “nah.”
"Donald Trump — in what might be the most unhinged foreign policy week since “buy Greenland” — slapped a 25% tariff on Canadian auto imports, called Canada a “national security threat,” and floated the idea of annexing us as the 51st state.
"Yes. Annexing. Like Putin-lite. Except fatter and with worse grammar.
"Then, when Canada pushed back by deepening economic ties with the European Union, Trump jumped on Truth Social and typed this out with his whole chest:
“CANADA IS TRYING TO UNDERMINE AMERICA. IF THEY THINK THEY CAN PARTNER WITH THE EU AGAINST US — THERE WILL BE HARSHER SANCTIONS. CANADA AND EUROPE BE WARNED.”
"Carney called that bluff today most soberly and seriously. Canada isn’t taking a break for it’s economic and security alliance - we’re torching it and betting on ourselves with a few other deomcratic superpowers not led by a fucking dotard Putin Puppet.
"Today, Mark Carney made the most consequential announcement of any Canadian Prime Minister in modern history. Visibly pissed but composed, he said enough was enough:
“We have to look out for ourselves. And we will do that.”
“He [Trump] wants to break us so America can own us. And it will never ever happen.”
“We will defend our workers. We will defend our companies. We will defend our country.”
"It felt less like a press conference and more like Churchill with better lighting. That wasn’t a press conference. That was world history in the making. A moment that will come to define us as the world’s biggest energy superpower, and it will be done in an unimaginably short period of time because it has to be. Canada will do things not thought possible. And we’re here, so it has to get done.
"Trump did this. Not Canada. Not Mark Carney. HOWEVER, maybe we should think about sending him a gift basket because the butterfly effect of having the dumbest fascist alive be the 47th president of the United States
"The Global Fallout. This wasn’t just a press hit — it was a geopolitical earthquake. Here’s what’s happened in just 12 hours:
The Canadian dollar surged as markets responded to Carney’s leadership and a pivot toward Europe.
The Dow dropped 700 points after U.S. automakers panicked over retaliatory tariffs and global realignment.
EU leaders released a joint statement backing Canada and fast-tracking trade + defense integration.
American allies from Germany to Japan are quietly freaking out — not because Canada left, but because it finally did what they’ve all been thinking.
“Canada is now the first country on Earth to formally sever close ties with Trump’s America.”
And it’s about damn time."
The problem is, Canada really only has 5 cities. I know there's more than that. I live in one of them not listed, but really it's just five cities.
And none of them are further than 10 kilometers from the border. Because of ease of trade.
There's Vancouver, Calgary/Edmonton (take your pick) Toronto, Montreal and sometimes Quebec City when people remember the province of Quebec exists ... when they ask for more handouts.
Never mind the maritime provinces or the territories, they don't really count either.
So the economies of all 5 cities are too closely tied to the US to do anything but have to give in to the US demands sooner or later. Demands like stop tariffing everything out the ass and try a fair deal once in awhile. (seriously, some goods are over 100% tariff, or worse. Did they think that would last forever?)
Or they'll get economically fucked as soon as they realize that nothing we export to USA they can't just say fuck it, we'll do it ourselves and spin up within a year or two and make whatever it is for themselves.
The US has lumber, gas, oil, steel, energy and auto parts. Which by the way is like 32% of Canada's economy in just those 6 things.
And it wouldn't take much to ramp up production on those six things, and fuck Canada into the toilets while we scramble to find people to sell it to for under value, all so we can pretend it's affecting USA because of orange man bad syndrome.
Which is literally what the liberal government did to our oil for a few years.
