Trump mocks trans folks to prime minister with nonbinary kid
-
President Donald Trump mocked transgender people in front of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, whose child identifies as nonbinary, during an Oval Office meeting in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday that was intended to focus on trade relations but instead became a showcase of Trump’s familiar culture war politics.
The meeting, held in the presence of reporters, aimed to emphasize renewed cooperation between the two countries, which remain deeply economically intertwined. But as The Independent reported, it “devolved into a political rally disguised as a routine press availability.” Trump repeatedly veered off topic to attack Democrats, the media, and transgender people, boasting that under his leadership, “We have strong borders. We have no men in women’s sports. We’re not going to take your child away and change the sex of your child.”
Nah trump is just gonna take your child away with ICE and disappear them into whatever island hes setting up for Maxwell when he pardons her and gets her back to running Epsteins business for him

Typical neolib capitulation- ahem I mean tolerance. That’s worked great for the Americans, I’m sure it’ll work for the Canadians /s
As much as Canadians would like to say fuck off to all things American, cutting ties like that would cripple us economically and potentially result in the destruction of our country. Tanking our economy to spite the States would not only destroy lives, but it would give Danielle Smith more fodder for AB separation, which in turn would result in a broken Canada, and eventually no Canada at all.
At the very least, Carney still needs to “play nice” for the moment, and I’m really hoping once things are in place with other markets he publically tells Trump to pound sand. I’m saving my judgement for the end of his first year. He’s arguably got the hardest road of any PM in decades. That said, I really wish he’d put his elbows back up.

we’re gonna need to get rid of the open-air mines before doing any alliance
canada always firmly stood with the american imperialists for our own gain, i doubt south america would trust us just now that the US is starting to show us it’s back

You prefer Trump lite? (The conservative party of Canada)
Never said such a thing. I can dislike our Liberal PM without being a con idiot. This is not a what about moment but lots of my fellow countrymen choose to make it so. Very murica of you all. Guess we’ll get fascism too while you all judge.

Antagonizing the US has worked great for Cuba after all.

Nah, children can’t consent, so that’s rape.
You think that would stop him?

I’m just surprised that people think Carney, our prime minister, should antagonize Trump, who is currently master and chief of one of the largest, if not the largest military force in the world, over his stance on trans people. And to do it when he’s there for trade talks.
I’m just surprised that people think that Carney sitting there and refusing to engage in Trump’s bullshit, when the purpose of his visit is to negotiate trade on behalf of our entire country.
I’m not sure why anyone thinks Carney’s priority should be arguing with Trump over trans people, when we currently have a trade war going on, that can easily devolve into an actual war…
I’m not sure why he’s wasting time on that orange turd. He should be getting the rebuild of our lost industries going and telling the americans to GTFO and eat dirt at this point. Stengthen ties with EU and Mexico now.

You’re “surprised that people think that Carney sitting there and refusing to engage in Trump’s bullshit”?
Okay.

I’m aware that the feds have been working on more international trade with our allies in Asia/Europe/anywhere that isn’t the USA…
I was commenting the other day to my SO that most products don’t even need to be “made in Canada” for me to want to buy them, they just need to say “not a product of the USA” and I’ll consider it a viable option to buy.
Anything made in the USA, I try to avoid or find non-US made alternatives.

You know, if we stopped pretending there were only 2 parties in Canada we could actually get away from the lib/con bullshit and have a healthy multi party parliament.

You’re 100% right and I agree with you wholeheartedly but there is a part of me that wishes out of moral principles someone public chastised him on this bullshit. He needs a dressing down on national television regardless of the consequences.
Oh, I agree, but unfortunately I think I know how that will go.
He’ll continue to spout his bullshit and shit talk whomever gave him the dressing down, whenever he is put in front of a camera for at least a few weeks afterwards, probably calling whatever country they’re from a shithole, his supporters will buy it up and nothing will change.
If that was done by Carney, it would just politically burn any credibility in trade negotiations, and put Canada under the gun for further punitive tariffs.
I really really want to see someone call him out too, but I also understand why Carney wouldn’t.
He has to be as focused on the topic at hand and stay away from any side tracked conversation, as much as he can; he’s representing so many Canadian interests and companies that he can’t take the risk. I wouldn’t want him to take on that risk.
I can shit talk America’s tariffs all day long, and call Taco any manner of names, but at the end of the day, the (almost entirely) free trade that Canada and the USA had before now was always beneficial for both countries, and getting back to that point would be beneficial for everyone.
We sell a lot of material to US companies, and so they make up a nontrivial amount of the GDP. We’re working really hard right now to change that, but it’s still the reality of the situation.
Personally, I’m rooting for international trade with allies that are not the USA. That’s what I want to see. As much as I feel bad for our American neighbors who don’t support drumph, it’s up to them to rally together and fix this crap. I support them in their efforts, but more diversified international trade is only going to benefit Canada.

Thanks Trudeau!

I’m certain the basic ability to do so isn’t the problem. More like, they have us at a disadvantage and he thinks tolerating Trump is the smartest play. Time will tell if that works out at all.
Tolerating Nazis has historically never worked.

If only Carney was a good politican who had helped Canada in literally any way since taking office. At least he sorta looks good in comparison to a dementia riddled fascist, I guess. Fascists will see this as Canada bowing to the king.

I’m pretty sure the UK GDP was comparable to Germanies pre WW2 if that’s what you are referring to. I agree with your point though. If I was Carney I wouldn’t take it head on, but instead work behind the scenes to better position Canada.
-
Right we should piss him off so he can fuck over the rest of our economy before we can transition our supply chains elsewhere. Brilliant.

Or just straight up invade to “save us” from our evil communist government.

Pre-WWI maybe. Wiemar Germany isn’t know for it’s awesome economy.
Which is why Britain never lost much ground despite letting them build up and prepare for a decade or whatever. And then the Nazis opened another front and got owned.

The way carney was staring intently at Trump with lovers eyes while he blathered on… very embarrassing

Domestically? Yes.
Internationally, we’re not Britain letting the Nazis build up, we’re fucking Czechoslovakia just praying they don’t decide to take the Sudetenland. The EU is probably Britain in this analogy, and the Soviets are, like, China.
