  2. Lol! So Canada should thank the US for starting a trade war? Canada’s terms are simply lift the tariffs and we will lift ours.

  5. Let’s be the bigger man and thank Trump then.

    And then when Doug comes home and reinpliments the energy charge, the American people can thank Trump too for sabotaging our relationship with the States.

    The farmers can thank Trump for invoking potash tariffs, and dairy and crop tariffs.

    The Car industry can thank Trump for the aluminum and steele tarrifs.

    As a matter of fact the whole world can thank Trump, because he is the sole, single perpetrator responsible for this entire mess.

    So thanks Trump! We wont forget this, ever.

  8. What the hell is even this whole thank you business anyway? If I’m giving buckets of water to someone whose house is on fire I expect him to run off with the water to put out the fire, not prostrate in front of me and stroke my ego for no reason. What a weird shift in the western psyche to even have a conversation about this.

  9. Fuck the U.S.A.

    Now say ‘Thank You’ and be grateful to me for saying ‘Fuck the U.S.A.’ Americans.

  10. God these MAGAts are all c@#ts of the highest order.

    Fuck off already.

  11. Last time I checked Ukrainians were strongly defending their country. I’ll take being compared to them as a compliment and honour.

  13. USA. “STOP RESISTING”.

    CANADA. Keeps spearing orange man and minions in deez nutz.

    Hence the Shart of the Deal

  14. Seriously, what the fuck is wrong with these assholes?

  15. Thanks for awakening more Canadian unity than I can remember ever seeing aside from when Canada beats the US in international hockey events. But also maybe the Americans can thank Canada for the cheap resources they have profited off for decades. Maybe we can now recoup that difference from the market rate.

  16. Negotiations are a waste of time. Export tariff the electricity and potash already. Get on with it. We can lose in the fetal position or risk losing by playing hardball. Fuckem.

  17. This feels like an abusive relationship. You hit me, I react, you hit me harder then tell me to THANK YOU?! That is straight up delusional.

  18. Canada is acting like Ukraine!

    If I was Canada, I’d take that as a compliment.

  19. Doug Ford should call off the meeting and put the export tariffs back on the hydro. Clearly he’s not going into a constructive meeting in good faith when they are saying this shit ahead of it.

    If the meeting goes like the one with Zelenskyy did, I don’t think Ford will stay as calm. He might pop Licknut one.

  20. Lutnick knows better. That’s what makes him particularly evil.

  21. It’s pretty unreal how I am going to have to make a specialty trip to the U.S. in the next decade just to piss on some graves, man.

  22. What are we saying thank you for?

    Thank you for throwing a highly intertwined economy into chaos? Thank you for threatening to redraw borders (set 100+ years ago), and annexing the whole country? Thank you for giving us the honour to become a US state?

    I haven’t really heard any solid reasoning why we should beyond lower taxes. Sure, taxes suck, but I do enjoy not going bankrupt for a hospital stay. And judging how things are looking, I’d be paying more taxes as an American citizen…

  23. “We’re gonna force ourselves on you and you’re going to like it and thank us.” Similar vibes.

  24. Thanks for… fucking with us unnecessarily for months and ‘joking’ about taking us over? eat a bag of shit.

  25. My only response to this is:

    r/BuyCanadian

    r/BuyFromEU

    Now more than ever.

  26. Ford agreed to suspend the tariff in order to get a face to face meeting to negotiate like adults and these clowns turn around and mock him and my country AGAIN. In light if this Ford should say he got hhe wrong impression from the phone call, stay home and up the electricity tariff to 35%

  27. Acting like Ukraine? Honestly, that’s a compliment.

    Steadfast. Committed. Unwavering. Resilient. United.

  28. If Canada is acting like Ukraine…Who is the USA behaving like? 🤔

  29. The US is gearing up for an invasion of Canada with the SAME rhetoric Russia used prior to invading Ukraine.
