Trump warned he will impose additional tariffs on the European Union and Canada if they band together to “do economic harm” against the United States.

Get @#$%ed, Trump. Good read. Short but detailed about how partnered we are already and what our next priorities should be

      So, when you generalize canada in your mind right-wingers is what comes to mind? Or just the govt?

        Hard to call Canada not right wing when basically 90% of the country is voting for central right and far right parties. Liberals haven’t been even slightly left leaning for a long time. The most generous way to describe them is a party that uses left leaning policies to achieve right leaning goals.

        This is from a European view and while not the US the political spectrum suffers from the same problem.
        What some Canadians consider left is only relative.
        So this is your ‘liberal’ party?:

        And it’s a simple verifiable fact that voters decide on the goverment, so maybe it’s only in your mind that they’re not right-wingers.
        Maybe it’s an uncomfortable truth?

          I love how everyone answering this question is taking an aggressive posture like I was defending or attacking something.

          Fun stuff. Thanks for answering anyway.

            I guess if you find my answer aggressive I’m right that it’s an uncomfortable truth for you.

              You said ‘your liberal party’ as if I would ever vote liberal. Swing and a miss there. Liberal is basically an insult to me.

              And then you claimed that I would somehow be uncomfortable with what you consider to be the truth. If that isn’t plainly passive aggressive tone then I am a wombat in need of a martini.

              All I was asking was if you thought of run-of-the-mill canucks as right-wingers, or if you meant the govt. From that you assumed my position and blithely attacked it.

              You are cute though, I’ll give you that.

        Almost 45% of our voting population are voting for the Conservatives. That’s a lot of people who desperately want to be the 51st state and live under authoritarianism and fascism.

        Why they don’t just move there is beyond me. I would gladly see every single Conservative voter move to the America they want us to be. Canada don’t need them or their kind.

          You know damn well that 60+% of that 45% have no idea what you are talking about if you say the words “51st state”.

          I am all for shitting on conservatives and liberals alike. But let’s at least be honest with ourselves before smugly wiping.
