https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/carney-says-canadas-us-ties-have-become-weakness-2026-04-19/Canada's close ties to the United States were once a strength but have become a weakness, Prime Minister Mark Carney said on Sunday, in a video message to his country in which he also praised the heroism of military leaders who fought against U.S. invasion more than two centuries ago.Holding up a small toy soldier depiction of General Isaac Brock, the British military leader who died defending what is now Canada from a U.S. invasion in the War of 1812, Carney said Canada can't control the disruption coming from its U.S. neighbors, and can't bet its future on the hope that it will suddenly stop."The situation today feels unique, but we've faced down threats like this before," Carney said, referencing Brock and several other Canadian historical figures, including Chief Tecumseh who united Indigenous Nations across the Great Lakes to resist U.S. expansion in 1812.Carney, who secured a parliamentary majority for his Liberal government last week, has said his electoral win will help him deal more effectively in the trade war started by U.S. President Donald Trump.U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick slammed Canada as a difficult trading partner last week.Canada, which sends almost 70% of its exports to the United States, is this year due to review the trilateral U.S.-Mexico-Canada free trade treaty. U.S. officials have suggested they want major changes to the pact.As well as imposing tariffs on Canadian exports such as steel, aluminum and autos, Trump has repeatedly mused about annexing Canada and turning it into the 51st U.S. state.Carney's office did not immediately respond to questions about why he had praised figures who resisted U.S. expansionism.Carney said he plans to give regular addresses to Canadians in the weeks and months ahead to update them on what his government is doing to grow Canada's economy and defend its sovereignty.
wtf is wrong with world leaders? Are countries so weak that they can't handle a four-year break from the US?We are going through a little period here, with no real leadership, no direction. If your country cannot take a four year break from us, then that's a You problem, not an Us problem.
>>1507295>Are countries so weak that they can't handle a four-year break from the US?Yes, they are that weak and dependent.
>>1507295Why would you want to go back to the US knowing all that stands between them being reliable and them being actively hostile is them electing another retard?
Leaf lyricsThe True North strong and free! From far and wide, O Canada, we stand on guard for thee. God keep our land glorious and free!American Patsy lyricsO say does that star-spangled banner yet wave....NO! O’er the land of the SERFS and the home of the SCARED!PS:I living Ontario, 200 km north of the GTA. Anything below this, the U asS A can have
>>1507295It's going to be more than four years. This has shown the US is one bad election away from betraying their allies. They don't want to rely on such instability and they're right. Unless the US does a full on purge of the MAGAt demons, shit will not be going back to normal.
>>1507310The fact that even the more "moderate" of the Republicans all fell into lockstep with the MAGA branch is proof that even our more "stable" politicians are weak to the nonsense if it means securing another few years in office
>>1507294from the prime minister whose anti-oil during an oil global shortage....his prececessor who he served as an advisor for literally gave the middle finger to Japan and germany when they came to canada asking for an oil deal. that would've given canada more autonomy from the US instead they shut down the pipeline project and now his collective of far-left narcassists and retarded boomers are running the country into the ground.Its incredible how he managed to find a cabinet member incharge of immigration whose on record writing multiple times to immigration officiers to allow a known terrorist member into the country in the past because he didn't want families to be seperated
>>1507321so do you like being made fun of, esl shill?
Canada are welcome to join the EU
>>1507316This is more an issue of how far right wing America is, as a result of the demonization of anything, that's even centrist over the past 50 years where we consistently see things moving to the right to the point we now have concentration camps.Having even a left of center leadership, like we see with Mandami in new york would go a long way to restoring America's reputation as a result of all the damage caused by conservatism. Also it might help to just start extraditing everyone in the trump regime that is wanted by another country. It's the perfect loophole to trump abusing the pardon system and the republican supreme court declaring trump is a king.
>>1507325>Having even a left of center leadership, like we see with Mandami in new york would go a long way to restoring America's reputation as a result of all the damage caused by conservatism.Absolutely unhinged take. >>1507294Yeah, he's doing the thing where he distracts the locals from all the absolutely abhorrent shit his party has done to the country by fixating on Le Orange. That is, after all, how he won his election.
>>1507327His party won, in part, because he stood up for Canada against Trump talking shit about annexation and imposing tariffs for no good reason
>>1507330As I said, he used Trump to distract people (mainly boomers) for the absolutely obscene shit his party has done to Canada over the past 10 years.
>>1507330>economy stagnating at 1% GDP growth >massive cost of living crisis, housing prices among the worst in the developed world >mass migration causing endless social issues >butwhatabout Trump doe?
>>1507330Canatards are Canatarded..
>>1507332What was the purpose of Trump talking so much shit at Canada? If Trump hadn’t done any of that then there probably would be a different government in Canada yes, I agree. You could argue that Trump won the election in Canada
>>1507295It’s been 10 years
>>1507348He wants Canada to suffer. And they are suffering.5D chess, get fucked Canaturds,
>>1507295>with no real leadership, no direction.Wait did we reelect Biden? I thought he dropped out and Brat lost.
>>1507351Pathetic
>>1507352Trump is the guy who is repeatedly starting and stopping ceasefires with iran. And who is threatening to invade at least 3 different nations that are allied to the USA.Kamala/biden didn't do that.
>>1507325trump is now in power because people are tired of how far-left america's been. this is the majority going against the unhinged far-left group of lunatics who've spent the last decade preaching tolerance while enacting the complete opposite.the fact you don't realize that shows what everyone else already knows, leftists are a party of out of touch narcassistic lunatics who thinks everything they do is fine.Trump isn't in power because his policies are good, he's in power because he stands against lunatics like you and I hope Ice gets you too
>>1507361go tell it to the facebook boomers esl shill
>>1507361And Trump is about to lose power because everyone realize "holy fuck the far-left was better than this complete insanity."
>>1507363nothing is worst then far-left lunatics, as long as trump gets leftists purged out of power anything is fine.
>>1507364it's pretty weird that you want to make wurst out of leftists, esl shill
>>1507363Fake news, real Americans are 100% behind our president. For 47 years the Iranian regime has been attacking the United States and it's time for pay back. We didn't start this war, but by God we are going to finish it
>>1507351we'd be suffering anyways the country is ran by selfish retarded boomers who voted liberals because they're scared conservatives would raise the retirement age. we know that for a fact every voting block outside of 59+ was around even split.59+ was a 70/30 split between liberal and everyoen elsefucking boomers
>>1507367It is weird. They deserve a far wurst fate.Liggeral sausages taste like shit and are infested with HIV anyway (ask that faggot Jeffrey Dahlmer),
>>1507363>And Trump is about to lose power because everyone realize "holy fuck the far-left was better than this complete insanity."Actually no. So many people have left blue states for red states that when we re-apportion congressional seats in the next census Republicans will get a baked in majority in the house. Thats how horrendous the left has been at governing, they have created a structural barrier to themselves ever getting the trifecta again.
>>1507382you're literally not american
>>1507382Seems plausible, but I'd have to check.
>>1507361>>1507327You just can't lie on /news/.
>>1507361>get sick of leftism>decide to elect a president that has begun to implement defacto AI communismYou fucking idiot
>>1507295>VOLUNTARILY vote in an astonishingly retarded man who is hostile to all allies and trade partners>immediately goes to work destroying the world economy>dude trust us it'll never happen again LMAO
>>1507385you're literally SEETHING
>>1507363You're retarded. Trump isn't going anywhere and you can expect the next Republican to be even more right wing in response to how sociopathic the left has become. And guess what? Those far right Republicans are going to get elected after the Democrats fuck up again
>>1507399>>1507400you should get a real job
>>1507400The problem is the democratic party has been controlled by center right corporatists since Clinton took over the party and wiped out the liberal New Dealers.Putting forward actual liberal policies and using social media to bypass the republican controlled mainstream media would do the democrats a lot of good. They just need to follow the Mandami playbook.
>>1507295But it wasn't four years. You fucking retards elected Trump TWICE, thus proving that it was no fluke. Now nobody can trust you to not elect the next treasonous window-licker to walk in the door.
The only reason trump won twice is because his opponents both times were women, if they were a straight white guy he wouldn't have stood a chance.
>>1507397He’s not hostile to Israel, although that’s probably because they aren’t officially allied, but they are called the greatest ally
>>1507429And both times those women were selected to run by the party against the popular choice. Bernie won the primaries for 2016, and Biden should’ve stepped aside after one term and they should’ve done something better than just putting Harris forward
Yeah the Republicans like to say Democratic people have mental health issues while watching themselves do unspeakable things all the while burying the truth
>>1507396leftism has literally got us retards like AOC whose openly trying to call for a vigilante who protected people from a serial stabber to get lynched.fuck you, I hope next time you're on a bus in your blue state you meet one of them and no one bothers to help you and they get off on bail after turning you into a pincushion
>>1507434look at the hideous disgusting lefty self-projecting, Oh they're the hateful group we're just openly promoting a terrorist adjacent organizations to the point we physically assault people who don't vote bluewhat a fucking retard you are.
>>1507460It's only because they're mentally ill terrorists.
>>1507433I will always maintain Biden is the reason Trump won the election because he was too greedy and corrupt to let someone else run. I hope history remembers this way and that he dies a slow painful death from his super cancer.
>>1507460>>1507462I love these fucking idiots who believe shit they see in YouTube videos and never fact check them but go on countless boards and repeat idiot bullshit. While their cult leader literally threatens terrorism and genocide. And drives up the cost of living and drives down the quality of life for his cult members but my oh my the libs are owned, right?>>1507470Biden and the Democratic Party. They rallied around and lied to the people about Biden’s mental state till they couldn’t deny it anymore after his terrible debate performance then they forced Kamala on us without a choice and told us it was her or nothing. Just 4 months before the election. Then Kamala refused to do any hard interviews and refused to acknowledge that Biden was mentally failing. So a lot of people didn’t vote.This is why the democrats have such low ratings now. We want real fundamental change to the levers of power. They are offering a return to the status quo before Trump.We don’t want the status quo. We want new laws that limit the president and the Supreme Court powers. We want term limits. We want no more money to Israel. We want accountability for the Epstein class. The Democratic Party is offering none of this. The Republican Party is offering the opposite of this. They are all pedophile protectors. We are fucked.
>>1507475>gotta love these fucking leftist cultists that keep moving the goalpost and refuse to accept responsability for anything their side does."terrorism" lol I hope he purges you and you end up in a furnace because you're the real terroristYou're an actual POS who thinks the democrats wanted accountability for the epstein class when they literally didn't do anything and tried to bury the case as well.fucking dipshit I hope you fucking die
>>1507569Settle down sharty.
>>1507475https://baumgartner.house.gov/2025/04/25/baumgartner-applauds-wsu-firing-staff-over-assault-student-wearing-maga-hat-no/>we want everyone who isn't with us dead>we're the party of tolerance>shut up don't you care about this and that>whataboutism don't call us out for our hypocrisy>>1507571I hope you get assaulted and raped because the people you support wanted to create more victims over tolerance policiesThe moment you voted for that and supported a party that's been openly commiting assasination attempts vs its political opponents you're complicit your family alongside you
>>1507573>The moment you voted for that and supported a party that's been openly commiting assasination attempts vs its political opponents you're complicit your family alongside youDamn bro, way to speedrun your place on the terrorist watchlist.
>>1507576buddy you're already on the terrorist watchlist ur a damn democrat who supports murder
>>1507321Canada could have run pipelines from Canadian oil fields to a canadian port (and built Canadian refineries). But of course they were against it.
>>1507576I strongly doubt trump is going to put his own followers on a watchlist.
