Dear Americans, we’re not locked out. You’re locked in with him…

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 3 points 1 hour ago

I saw a Guard the Leaf video about the Bad Bunny half time show today, where the guy talked about using Americans as someone who lives in the US is wrong there are two contents that make up North and South America. I will never call myself an American but I am from North America.

Way to show us what a reliable trading partner you are.

Wtf is he on about with banning hockey? That's the weirdest part of the whole thing. This is the second time he brought it up.

This is an insane word salad:

As everyone knows, the Country of Canada has treated the United States very unfairly for decades. Now, things are turning around for the U.S.A., and FAST! But imagine, Canada is building a massive bridge between Ontario and Michigan. They own both the Canada and the United States side and, of course, built it with virtually no U.S. content. President Barack Hussein Obama stupidly gave them a waiver so they could get around the BUY AMERICAN Act, and not use any American products, including our Steel. Now, the Canadian Government expects me, as President of the United States, to PERMIT them to just “take advantage of America!” What does the United States of America get — Absolutely NOTHING! Ontario won't even put U.S. spirits, beverages, and other alcoholic products, on their shelves, they are absolutely prohibited from doing so and now, on top of everything else, Prime Minister Carney wants to make a deal with China — which will eat Canada alive. We’ll just get the leftovers! I don't think so. The first thing China will do is terminate ALL Ice Hockey being played in Canada, and permanently eliminate The Stanley Cup. The Tariffs Canada charges us for our Dairy products have, for many years, been unacceptable, putting our Farmers at great financial risk. I will not allow this bridge to open until the United States is fully compensated for everything we have given them, and also, importantly, Canada treats the United States with the Fairness and Respect that we deserve. We will start negotiations, IMMEDIATELY. With all that we have given them, we should own, perhaps, at least one half of this asset. The revenues generated because of the U.S. Market will be astronomical. Thank you for your attention to this matter!

PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP

I gave up.

So we built a bridge, with our own money, and according to him our own land, and he’s pissed we didn’t use American steel?

Fuck off.

Don't be so quick to trust anything Tump says is truthful. Snippet from this CBC news article about it:

https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/trump-gordie-howe-bridge-9.7081924

Windsor Mayor Drew Dilkens says parts of Trump's post are factually incorrect, as U.S. steel was used in the construction from the Michigan side of the river.

"It's just insane," Dilkens told CBC Power & Politics host David Cochrane on Monday evening.

My goodness it seems that the President is off his medications again. The pressure shown to foreign child predators in the Epstein files is making him feel vulnerable.

[–] FaceDeer@fedia.io 5 points 1 hour ago

At some point medicine doesn't help. Trump is well past that point now.

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago

Holy shit, China is going to take our Hockey away?!?!?!

[–] ageedizzle@piefed.ca 38 points 4 hours ago (2 children)

At this point I say we should just cut our losses and just let that bridge sit unoccupied for now

[–] NotMyOldRedditName@lemmy.world 5 points 2 hours ago* (last edited 2 hours ago)

Nah, leave it open to the border, and let Canadians throw rotten tomatoes across. Could also turn it into some sort of plaza with artisan shops and whatnot. Make it a tourist attraction.

And close the Canadian End of the US private bridge.

[–] Lemmyoutofhere@lemmy.ca 29 points 4 hours ago* (last edited 4 hours ago) (2 children)

Canada paid for, and built the bridge. We should just ban any vehicle with US plates from using it. Although, no Canadians should be crossing anyways.

[–] bowreality@lemmy.ca 21 points 4 hours ago

Hold on let’s put a toll station on it. USA plates $$$, Canadian go free.

[–] Lulzagna@lemmy.world 4 points 2 hours ago

And Michigan still owns it with Ontario

[–] Thedogdrinkscoffee@lemmy.ca 26 points 4 hours ago

There are no concessions to give and no trade deals to be made. A bad faith negotiator who has no checks and balances from courts or congress is less than pointless. Just shut it all down.

Astounding that we are listening to this child rapist racist make demands

[–] Reannlegge@lemmy.ca 2 points 1 hour ago

He is trying to grasp for air as the bodies are piling up around him, and the children’s bodies are coming out of the hiding spaces.
