      It wont help you feel better but more Americans voted against him than for him the first time. Hell, even on the number of people who didn’t vote are framed as if it would change the outcome when unless they live in very specific locations it wouldn’t because the system is fucked.

      Not telling you to be less angry here, I encouraged Canadians to feel this resentment towards me and my fellow Americans. I’m just trying to explain the shitshow more than corporate interests care to.

          I agree. I just can’t in good faith have a problem with Canadians wanting to not be invaded. Me being sorry and not being at fault doesn’t really change the situation for them and I feel for that.

    I’m so sick of all this faux outrage bullshit performance art where they attack someone and then cry foul when people get upset about it. Calling it a trade war is “a dangerous place to go.”? You know what’s actually a dangerous place to go. STARTING A FUCKING TRADE WAR. We’re not the bad guys for pointing it out.

        Prepare for war while we still can. If we’re incredibly lucky maybe we won’t need it, but if so, it will be because we did prepare and that made us an unpleasant and dangerous looking target. Bullies always target perceived vulnerability. We need to do everything we can to fix that perception. Even showing them this anti-American sentiment helps. They need to understand we will not be pushovers, no matter how badly we might seem to be poised to lose at least some territory and/or treasure if they tried to actually use force or severe coercion to take our lunch money, as bullies do.

        If we look like too much trouble, they may think twice and try to go bully central America or something instead, I have no idea how this will all work out, but I do know we’re in big fucking danger, and we need to do everything we can to make sure they know we’re going to become a big fucking problem for them if they try it.

  • warns those counter-tariffs and continued boycotts will still taint the feedback from Americans in upcoming public consultations.

    Since when do you care about what the public thinks? If you did care, you’d be kissing our asses instead of sucking Trump’s dick.

    Hoekstra said “there will be a whole lot of comments” coming in from American businesses, and “they are not going to be positive.”

    Huh… I WONDER WHY? I wonder what the source of the negativity might be? Is it your friendly neighbor to the north that you’ve been abusing and threatening for no good reason? Or is it the orange piss baby that you’ve elected to run your country? Hm… There’s truly no way of knowing. 🙄

    I’d like to give a shoutout to Finance Minister François-Philippe Champagne for not capitulating to American bullshit.

    Peter Hoekstra can get the fuck out of my country and never come back. - How’s that for sentiment?
