    I’m disappointed in the American people for allowing Trump back into the White House!

      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.

        As disappointed as I am with those who voted for him, I’m equally sorry for those that didn’t. Good luck to us all 😔

          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.

    Threatens to annex country

    Upset about smoke while denying climate change

    Actively waging a trade war

    Damm those Canadians are so rude and ungrateful with their civil boycott of american goods and travel. How could they develop such an anti American attitude? Bet this wouldn’t be happening if they would just join us already so we could send our national guard into all their cities and deport everyone we don’t like.

    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.

    They know what they’re doing.

    Now they’re disappointed. Soon, they’ll be angry. Then they’ll have no choice but to do something about it. Mark my words.

    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?
