Rules:

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

So is Trump empty, filling, or sitting in a full diaper? In this photo, my money is on filling.

"Last-minute changes in the US proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal."

That is how trustworthy the US is. Even if they would sign a trade deal, it would not be worth the paper it was signed on.

Let the world move on without the US.

This is literally the only way forward

The problem in that scenario is that dollar for dollar will hurt the Canadian economy way more, as the American economy is literally 10 times bigger, it will also only hit USA 10% as much relatively.

We all need to boycott USA, because USA has become a rogue nation without respect for international law, and an international menace even to their "former" allies.

EU has literally threatened USA that EU could stop respecting American IP in a trade war.
Trump and USA are getting what they asks for. Just not in the good way.
