    If Governor Carney thinks he ls going to make Canada a Drop Off Port for China to send goods and products into the United States,

    he doesn’t

    China will eat Canada alive completely devour it, nduding the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life.

    They won’t

    If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the USA

    So why pressure Canada this hard? Sounds like whatever Canada does, Trump is gonna be upset about it.

      Especially when he suggested it was a good movie a few days ago! Grumpy Trumpy strikes again.

    a Drop Off Port for China to send goods and products into the United States

    That’s what Made in USA generally means these days.

    He doesn’t realise that the reason to make a deal with China is to better be able to ignore random tariffs like this

    If you deal with China they’ll destroy you and to prove it I’ll make my citizens pay twice as much for your wares!

      Hey neighbour, if you don’t stop talking to the other neighbour, I’ll start stabbing myself in the testicle.

    Second comma in the title is unnecessary.

    Is Carney’s title Governor? I thought he was a Prime Minister or something. Is he not the head of the Canadian government (under the British monarchy, so basically the same “rank” as Kier Starmer)?

      You’re correct, but this was another “51st state” jab. Trump is reiterating his own threat to absorb Canada at the same moment he’s crying crocodile tears about China eating us alive.

        Make him apologize for each one. Resume trade while there are no outstanding gaffes.

        This includes electricity and oil.

      We need a new comma that means it could be a separation or a joining for this very reason.

      If you are a putrid sack of orange human goo with the IQ of the smegma oozing from Steven Millers minicock, you think calling a Prime Minister “governor” is hilarious. It really just make it seem like you don’t understand anything.
