During a visit to Beijing last week, Carney hailed a “new strategic partnership” with China that resulted in a “preliminary but landmark trade agreement” to reduce tariffs – but Trump warned of serious consequences should that deal be realized.

If Carney “thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for China to send goods and products into the United States, he is sorely mistaken,” Trump wrote on his Truth Social platform.

“China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life,” he said. “If Canada makes a deal with China, it will immediately be hit with a 100% Tariff against all Canadian goods and products coming into the USA.”

    The neoliberal western govenments’ israeli actions were symbolic meaningless gestures first of all.

    I do not see how that refutes my point either. Countries like aforementioned saudis, or turkey, love to pick on them when canada makes some moral stand. Makes the leaders look tough.

    Israel and the us surely did pick on ca and the uk et for this one too but that is a different dynamic entirely.
