And as my deceased grandmother would say, “Well now, aren’t you just the cock of the walk”.
You’re looking to grasp at straws, Beauregard.
We are not going to join the USA. Get over it. We’re not for sale or open to extortionists.

I hope he has an attainable goal, rather than annexing canada. Which may be an all-but cessation of Canadian trade.

Am beginning to think this whole exercise is that Trump covets this country for its natural resources and water to which he feels exclusive entitlement. In that sense he poses an existential threat to this country every bit as malevolent as Russia or China. Owing to proximity, perhaps even more so.

30 Day Hold on tariffs and sanctions announced.
This just announced and posted:
This could have been negotiated and agreed to bilaterally without the bastard Trump’s incoherent bluster and thoroughly unnecessary brinkmanship and threats.
For the record, I have little confidence that the WH bastard, Trump, will not move the goal posts again and make additional demands and threats on this nation and its sovereignty. He is a thoroughly corrupted and loathsome lizard. This crisis is by no means over.

It appears they've blocked each other too.
Maybe they've blocked everybody!

So apparently the 1.3B program had already been announced in December. So the concession was appointing a ‘fentanyl czar’.
Looks like Trump was looking for an off ramp.

But you’re right that it had already been offered and agreed upon back in December. Part of the reason why the grandstanding and brinkmanship was so incoherent to us.
Normally we don’t do “czars” here. But if it serves as a soother in the petulant little bastard’s mouth then fine.
If that’s what will make him happy, he can go ahead and suck on it for as long as necessary to get him to shut his bleeding cake hole for awhile.

Wow. The 1.3 was already the result of discussions with Trump.
The whole thing was Kayfabe.
Check the date.

Hey Mik, are your relatives on The Rock telling you anything about this Trump initiated shit show?
Their Premier, by any means no fool, is militant in his open condemnation of Trump.

No, and I have a fair amount in Ottawa, retired army. No peep. I should ask.
