    It’s unhinged to call Canada the 51st state.

    Actually, it’s a “trade special operation.”

    ‘We don’t talk about it that way. For us, it’s business, it’s economics,’ Greer told the FT News Briefing podcast.

    Who is this ‘we’ he is talking about?

    It must be something not part of the US government and not represented by US media.

        No, but, Truth Social is all about the truth, isn’t it? It’s the one source I was sure I could rely on. I mean, it’s right there in the name…

    Their demands included us being a vasal nation.

    That is a declaration of war.

      Canadians definitely haven’t been showing enough gratitude since these tariffs on their products came into effect!

    ““Prime Minister Carney used the term ‘war.’ It’s not a word we use, right? We don’t talk about it that way. For us, it’s business, it’s economics,” Greer told the FT News Briefing podcast.”

    I guess we could just do some “business” and “economics” and stop sending electricity and oil to the US…

      It might be because people in Geneva get nervous when Canadians get into a war.

    Most of these quips from US trade officials have been so weird and out there I can’t even get mad.

    No, no, no, no, no. It’s just enhanced interrogation techniques. It’s not torture at all.
