Incoming Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney says he’s ready to meet with U.S. Donald Trump if he respects Canadian sovereignty and is open to talk about a common approach to trade.

“I am ready to sit down with President Trump at the appropriate time under a position where there is respect for Canadian sovereignty and we are working for a common approach, a much more comprehensive approach for trade,” Carney said.

This is the way. Leaders need to stop entertaining the orange idiot. He’s the shitty kid that breaks stuff to get attention. Trump needs a time out.

I like Iran’s attitude. They said “Whatever. Do what you’re going to do.” and didn’t bother having more of a conversation.

This is what Canada needs to do.

    Shumer/Democrats are signaling supporting a budget that includes the provision of unchecked trade war powers for Trump: Never allowing congress to question national emergency validity, or any other provocation he makes. The “Only one man:Trump is responsible for war on Canada” becomes false when full US political establishment throws support behind it.

    Carney should be visiting Mexico and China (Russia and North Korea visits better than no visits) instead of “waiting for respect”. Extreme failure of last government was limiting contacts with US and its other colonies. Cancelling or “Reviewing” military cooperation/purchases with US should be an immediate announcement. Panama just took every US demand up their bodies, and still got “Pentagon drawing up plans for invading Panama” because it might get massive foreign funding of projects in the country.
