U.S. trade officials are signalling that Canada will need to make policy changes if it wants long-term certainty under the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement (CUSMA), as the trade deal comes up for mandatory review next year.

    Canada lists demands to US:

    1. Fuck Off.
    2. Eat shit.
    3. Die

    There is no trade to negotiate. No concessions to give. Bad faith negotiators, no court, no congress, no honour or integrity. No trust. There is nothing to discuss. No “deal” will be honored. No concession will ever be enough. Each “give” will only further our dependence on those who want to annex us, and will only be met with more and more demmands for concessions.

    Fuck CUSMA. I don’t want to buy from or sell to fascists. Let’s do our own thing and trade with real partners.

      Out of curiosity, are Canadians not on Lemmy generally about that hostile to the US these days?

      It’s a bit confusing looking from the outside in. It seems like there’s a lot of grassroots resentment, but on the other hand, there are some weird (conservative?) groups that seem pretty Trumpy.

        It’s a spectrum like everywhere on any topic. We have our maple maga to contend with and our conservatives in general are trying to privatize Canadian healthcare to support annexation.

        I’m guessing the hostile types are 30% of Canadians. 10% Maple Maga, and the balance something milder and milquetoast.
