How did we end up with that toxic piece of shit paying any sort of attention to us? Just focus on murdering your own citizens there, Donny, and leave us the fuck out of it.
And to think this summer we were just inches away of saying the same thing about him.
Stupid misogynist President-elect using opportunity to dunk on women he doesn't know, more at 7.
He has personal experience with Freeland that is informing his fragility.
Hey, that's not very fair - he dunks on women he does know just as often.
He's an egalitarian misogynist he treats all women (excluding Ivanka) uniformly like shit.
Bro. Get back to your own country.
They don't send their best people. They're rapists and criminals.
What an insufferable bastard.
I guess The Great State of Canada is gonna be a thing now... ๐

I bet he never heard the name before and still has no idea what she was doing. He's just trying to start a bandwagon and doesn't seem to realize how much this makes almost everyone in Canada want to slap him on sight.

Unless he forgot, Trump is well aware of her.
She was one of the lead Canadian negotiators during the re-negotian of NAFTA (a process Trump triggered because he pretended he could negotiate a better deal). She was tough and capable, and Trump hated that.
Also, she is very strong on supporting Ukraine against Russia, so Putin also dislikes her to the point of adding her to the list of individuals banned from Russian territory.

More then that. She employed guile and cunning to both push for our desired position and delay our southern neighbours to the point where they didn't get a chance to plead their case in the negotiations. In short, she owned the USA in the negotiations for the USMCA. If Trump knows someone other than 'the governor,' you just know that she's a threat to him. Let's make her PM.
The Great State of Canada
I have to give myself daily reminders that the US and Canada are still allies, despite him acting this way.
The problem with him is that he doesn't uphold his agreements. Combine that with him thinking that the President is King and the US is an extension of himself means that you can no longer trust the US to uphold its agreements. So, no we are no longer allies in any way that you can count on. I'd suggest that Canada pay lip service to the "allies" bit, but not count on it in any way.
We should constantly refer to him as Lt Gov.
Given who the US allies with, you might want to take the opportunity and join the right side of history as a nation and isolate yourselves from the US.
It's kinda hard to isolate outselves from the US when we share a 5500 mile long land border.
Like it or not, they're always going to be an outsized factor of life here.
Did someone fart? Oh no it's just the asshole talking.
Stop promoting any shit this Nazi says.
I'm sorry to inform you that you will be hearing every word that comes out of his mouth for at least another four years. You might want to disconnect if it really bothers you.
Gods, I'd love to disconnect. Not really feasible.
But the head Nazi says stupid shit on social media with the sole purpose of pissing people off. Canadian news media righteously repeat it ad nauseam. Then more social media (Lemmy) righteously links to the news sites, vastly expanding his original reach.
The media needs to take a principled stance and calmly call out his bullshit as bullshit - and we have a responsibility to not amplify it.
Actual matters of state - report on that all you want, as much of a shitshow as it's going to be; but the only way to address his infantile rants is to treat him like an infant.
Do you think his comments and attitude towards our elected officials don't matter? I think they do. To me this isn't just one of his random mouth farts.
I guarantee you that if (or when) he decides to visit Ottawa after his inauguration his motorcade will be lucky if it can get 2 city blocks from the airport.
Canadians are usually pretty laid back, but the orange asshole is pretty close to learning what the war of 1812 was really like for America.
What's going on Canada?
