CPTPP: That Makes Pierre A Deliberate Dick.

Canada Gets New U.K. Trade Access Today as Ottawa Looks Beyond an Increasingly Hostile U.S. Market

Canada Gets New U.K. Trade Access Today as Ottawa Looks Beyond an Increasingly Hostile U.S. Market - Trendonomist

Trolling this fool is twice as fun as going after the American POS.

Do You Think We Can Get Him To Change His Name?

I think Panic-mongering, deliberately disingenuous LOSER would be more appropriate! LOL.

PP: Why Is This Guy Still Our Leader????????

Here we go again, with this fish-out-of-water desperately flapping on the counter trying to get some air (read: traction) so he can be relevant...

This is what he had to say last February:

"There's nothing new about that [free trade agreements] at all," Poilievre said. "We already have that. We've had it for years. In fact, Canada has free trade with over 50 other countries, and most of them are middle powers.

"We should look to deepen those relationships, but their markets are already open to us." 

Fast forward to today and look what he has to say about increasing our trading relationship with the European Union, even though Canada can never be a full-fledged member state given our geography. He's such a fear-mongering I-D-I-O-T:

Post

Pierre Poilievre on X: "Mark Carney could not be more out of touch. With Canadians missing meals and mortgage payments, and days before he addresses the European Parliament (instead of the Canadian Parliament) we learn in a foreign newspaper of secret talks to make Canada an "Associate Member" of the European Union. This is not about diversifying trade: we have had tariff-free trade with Europe for over a decade. They would buy more of our goods today if the Liberal government would get out of the way and permit mines, pipelines, LNG plants to produce and ship them. Canadians deserve answers: Is the WSJ report true about associate membership in the EU? If so, will European border policies apply in Canada, further overwhelming our immigration system while our youth can’t find homes? Will Canadian waitresses struggling with rent have to pay tax dollars to the bloated EU bureaucracy? Will Canadian small businesses be buried under the red tape of Eurocrats that have never met a Canadian entrepreneur? All questions I’d ask in Parliament, but it is shuttered. And one more: who decides for Canada? The Welland welder did not elect a Eurocrat to regulate our steel. The Saskatchewan farmer and the Atlantic fisherman did not choose a Brussels agrifood regulator that has never even seen our prairies or coasts. We will NEVER be the 51st U.S. state. And we will NEVER be the 28th EU state. We are Canadians. This is our home, our freedom, our sovereignty, our people. Now and forever."

Just To Be Clear.

To his paid, disruptive bots, all I can say is fuck off, both to them and to the person behind them. You've got a long way to go to be in my league. LOL.

It's Too Bad That Black And O'Leary Don't Have Medical Degrees.

One may not entirely agree with much of what they represent. However, when push comes to shove regarding the Trump Administration's trade policy, we can likely count on them to be more than nominally Canadian. For his part, Black would have made a great diplomat, what with his polished reserve and skilled biting hand capable of ramming home a point in deadly prose while wearing a velvet glove. O'Leary, not so much. He is who he is, but at least down in his bones, his Canadian identity lies somewhat dormant but nonetheless not entirely extinct.

But back to the main point:  it takes an exceeding level of personal skill to be able to talk down and reason with the demented, paranoid, and delusional. In short, the above, truly personified by Trump. Again, it's a crying shame that my designated main actors don't have medical training: that would have given them an edge in dealing with a specimen that is obviously unhinged and serially prone to falsehoods and other assorted deceptions, not to mention ever-present gaslighting.

If my name were Carney, both would have been drafted on the trade advisory committee. It might have come off as controversial, but it would have been debate-wise loads of fun. Hardly a Canadian Fifth Column. More like sympathetic fellow travellers, as it were, charged with a great national endeavour.  

13% Of Canadians Want Carney To Roll Over In Order To Receive Trump's Broomstick.

Guess which side I'm not on? I'd rather see the delusional and foolish skilfully led by Danielle Smith! When these bozos lost Connie, that pretty much summed it up nicely. 

Carney Working To Have Canada Join The EU.

They're working on associate membership, which is a great idea for trade diversification. Hope it drives Trump nuts.
