Canada's Carney says Trump must stop comments before bilateral talks can start (www.reuters.com)

Can someone explain to me

  1. Why does he think Trump the yaphead would ever shut up about anything ever
  2. What good are "bilateral talks" with someone that can't keep their word anyway ?

What is the point here trying to show everyone just how much of a illequipped, stay-the-course, liberal empty suit he is and how he's going to boldly going to try to "do the same thing we've always done except not woke this time and hope it keeps working"

Don't these people understand that the US is only good at one thing and it's eating liberal banking stiffs alive ?

Are they trying to lose on purpose ?

That's exactly the kind of hedging their bets centrist bull that will lose them the election. We already know they are insincere and there won't be negotiations because even an agreement would have no value. Give the Orange douche a bloody nose right now, rather than putting red lines he's obviously going to cross and that will just make Canada lose face for nothing.

You keep saying he's doing it wrong without saying what you think he (or any leader of Canada) should do. How exactly do you want him to give Trump a bloody nose and what do you think the response from the US would be?

Forbid electricity and oil export. We can use the cheap electricity and cheap plastic, aluminium, steel production to undercut everyone else on price for manufactured goods. Then make US finance holding canadian asset squeal by throwing every trick at them until they liquidate to canadian owners at a steep discount. Mop up any unemployment with a massive housing building and infrastructure program. For the next four years, every productive investment is going to be free. Start that money printer.

If americans look at us wrong, ration potash exports, especially during planting season.

Also reneg that anti satellite weapon agreement and purchase 50x top of the line french launch vehicles, develop a kessler doomsday weapon thwt will make space unusable for 500 years, to be ready to launch the instant an american tank crosses tge border.

Make national universal healthcare because provinces have trying to kill and privatize their public healthcare.

That and massively boost trade with China, SEA Africa, BRICS everyone.

Not that I need to provide any solution just to have the right to point out the current bad, do nothing, appeasement strategy

That’s exactly the kind of hedging their bets centrist bull

Clarification required. What bets are being hedged here, regarding "there isn't any point in bilateral talks, but let's say we'll do it if he shuts up about that thing that he can't stop talking about" ? I don't see a bet and I don't see a hedge.

We already know they are insincere and there won’t be negotiations because even an agreement would have no value.

Yup, covered in "there isn't any point in bilateral talks" above.

rather than putting red lines he’s obviously going to cross

Not seeing that any such "red lines" have been put in. The closest is the demand that you-know-who stop talking about you-know-what, but ... a red line is "don't do yak yak, if you do that you cross a red line and we will respond by blah blah" and in this case orange voldemort has already done yak yak and there's no blah blah response given.

that will just make Canada lose face for nothing.

You've got a point here. But the moment that 51st state started to get mentioned, the face was lost. So in this specific category, is there really anything left to lose?

Give the Orange douche a bloody nose right now

Agreed! I'd argue we're already starting to do that (e.g. Doug Ford's electric surcharge threat).
