Exactly, lots of hate towards Trump, but definitely he has given a much needed jolt to Canada, to fix borders, drug problem, drug mafia, Chinese influence, look more opportunities, Mining. In a way it is good.
Tariffs on Canada delayed for 30 days. Edit: The tariff war has begun.

I sense there is a fear here that Trump will influence Canadian politics. Not by intervening, but simply by example.
The worst thing to happen for the Liberals is for Canadians to assess 2015-2025 while peeking over the border.
I think it's better to get a good location down by the beach. Sell some sandals too, add tanning lotions, etc.
yes that is a concern, the liberals / loonie left will defiantly try to paint Pierre P as the canuk Trump
however I am confident the electorate knows better
that's funny
much more value for the consumer than the bullshit they will try to sell
Danielle Smith was smart enough to haggle with Trump...she knew Trump don't want the oil supply of Alberta to be closed for the US... YOu can sleep at night now knowing Trump is happy with the outcome and Canada dodged a 25% tariff... that's what happens when you are willing to sit down and talk it over... retaliatory tariff would've been a disaster...whoever advised Trudeau to talk to Trump and show he's sincere to keep the offer deserves a promotion.
How does one paint defiantly? Were they told not to paint and defied the command? SMH.
Definitely. You're welcome.
The use of the word defiantly is completely appropriate in JL's post.
You could apologize, delete your comment or dig in. You can choose to have a reasonable conversation.
I'll have to put away the popcorn. Hope Johnny Larue didn't make a mess of his pants.
Trudeau victorious.
Americans don't know Canadian one-liners.
- I'm sorry
-You'll be sorry.

Smart enough to haggle? If it was up to her we'd have 10% tariffs on exports.The province's got the Tariffs pushed back. Guess she should have showed up to sign the agreement pack, huh? Ended up on the wrong side of the argument. Fucking Traitor.
Now she looks stupid kissing Trump's ass for a whole week and then getting left out in the cold during inauguration.
Venue change for inauguration means Alberta premier will miss in-person ceremony
Alberta Premier Danielle Smith won’t be at president-elect Donald Trump’s inaugural ceremony on Monday after all, due to bitter cold weather forecasted for tomorrow in Washington, D.C.

Retaliatory tariffs made Trump fold.

Trump started a spark that could turn into a SoCal fire.
This is the optics I don't like.
Trudeau originally ran. It was Ford that got everyone on the same page.
Nope.
Trudeau did the work, Ford went to the cottage.
Ford is running for a new mandate but won't say what it is and now won't even answer questions from the press.
Kick the MAGA arse out.
Not really?
I mean, USAID is less than 1% of the Federal budget, probably closer to 0.5%.
That really doesn't seem excessive to me.

When a child is disobedient, it's not uncommon for their parent to make idle threats as a means to elicit compliance. In politics, this tactic is called Brinksmanship.
John F. Kennedy once said "When I tell Canada to do something, I expect Her to obey".
I'll believe the tariffs if and when they are actually imposed.

What example did you have in mind?....
The heavy use of bronzer?
Or the continual litigation losses in Federal court?
A good pimp knows that when one of his hoes gets uppity, the threat of sanctions is often enough to elicit the proper attitude adjustment. Trump is a good pimp, and Canada is one of his hoes.
Trump doesn't want to impose tariffs on Canada; it will hurt the economies of both Countries, particularly if Canada reciprocates. He does, however, want Canada to tighten border security, and he wants Her to pay Her fair share of mutual military expenditures. Threatening to impose tariffs is a pressure tactic designed to force Canada to act, because asking nicely doesn't work.
If you judge Trump by his results in this term, as opposed to fixating on his methods, I believe that he will achieve a lot of positives by the end of his current mandate. The people who won't be happy will mostly be those who complain the most and contribute the least. They currently aren't a large enough minority to collectively hold the balance of power, and Trump's attitude towards them is "Fuck 'em".
Consider the high school gym teacher of old, the football coach, or the drill sergeant in army boot camp. They frequently use/ used humiliation as a motivational tool. They are generally despised when they are doing their job, and they expect that. When their job is complete, however, many of their subordinates acknowledge that success would not have been accomplished, if they had been politely asked to do what was demanded of them.
