So you are saying that Trum* is corrupt? If so why do you support him?

You don’t listen to what you don’t like. You have a tendency to twist words. It is dishonest to the conversation.

But as I said, voters were tired of corrupt politicians enough to find a person we trusted to correct it. Trump is the solution and not the problem. (I don’t mean that he has no problems. He is as human as the rest of us)
But while you are attacking him for the good that he is doing, don’t expect me to pile on with you.
What Trump is doing is good for our country and fair to yours.
You will survive your bellyache.

Yep. And a generation of voters are tired of it and found someone to fix it.
But coming off of welfare is difficult. You seem to know exactly what I am referring to with sarcasm about your equalization payments. You expect Ottawa to give up a cash cow easily? We don’t expect other nations to give up their cash cow easily either.

Difference is that the US negotiated those trade deals Alberta did not have any say in what the federal gov choose to do in taking $600 billion out of Alberta.

Alberta has a legitimate argument but the US does not.

Canada has taken responsibility for CUSMA. You slapped your name right on the front. Own it. You negotiated it. Stop complaining about it.

We are not the ones saying the that the other country took advantage of us. Trum* has said that over and over that Canada has taken advantage of the US. So blame your negotiators for doing a poor job.

CUSMA is good for all three countries. The US just cannot see that as Trum* only sees things through an I win you lose view.

The reality is that it will all work out and CUSMA will be agreed to once again. And then Trum* will crow about how it is the greatest trade deal ever made just as he did the last time.

Thank you for what? Why do you thank someone for being a jerk? The US has tied to bully the world but it has not worked out as it would have liked.

Trum* is just doing what he has always done so I am not surprised by it. But the world is turning away from the US as it has become an untrustworthy nation.

Will we trade with the US, sure. Just as we will trade with China, the EU, India etc.

LOL. Silverhai*, your anger as a Christian is interesting. But, I'm sure as a Christian you are praying for the leaders of this world we live in.
Again a simple 'Thank you' would suffice.

How do you come up with me being angry? When I point out the obvious flaws in your leader you put your head in the sand. That is not anger, I just have sympathy for those that have to put up with him as their leader.

You think we should thank you and I ask for what?

For cooperation and allowing you to negotiate CUSMA.

That is a rather odd comment coming from someone living in the US.

Odd how we keep getting all those US officials threatening Canada if we do not do so and so.

Buy our planes, drink our booze, drink our milk. For a nation that you think we should thank I still have to ask, what for?

Ask your farmers what they think of paying double for the potash that they need to grow their crops.

Your Canadian ego is as large as an American ego.
I have been adding in sarcasm for a while now.
Your anti-American attitude doesn’t change anybody’s mind. It actually just turns Americans off. At this point, I don’t feel like it matters what you think. I am sorry to say it. But nothing we do pleases you so there is no point in considering your feelings because it won’t change anything.
This is kind of an odd statement. But then everything I say to you is odd. We live in two different worlds.

I am not anti US just anti Trum* due to his silly actions that have in turn made the US into an untrustworthy nation.

He has been dismissive of the whole world and it has and will continue to cost the US.

But be that as it may.

The CUSMA deal will be renewed as it is best for all three countries. And life will go on.

Do you think a country should not respond to the threats that come from your gov? Have you not noticed that those Gov's do not respond with threats but just do deals that move away from the US?

Your super pro-america attitude is to be expected as you have been told your whole life that the US is the greatest at everything. Most of the citizens of the US have lived in a bubble and know nothing of the world.

Yes we do live in two different worlds, I live in a world where nations cooperate and you live in a world where the US has to dominate.

It was nice talking to you Chamberlain.
