President Donald Trump mocked transgender people in front of Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney, whose child identifies as nonbinary, during an Oval Office meeting in Washington, D.C., on Tuesday that was intended to focus on trade relations but instead became a showcase of Trump’s familiar culture war politics.
The meeting, held in the presence of reporters, aimed to emphasize renewed cooperation between the two countries, which remain deeply economically intertwined. But as The Independent reported, it “devolved into a political rally disguised as a routine press availability.” Trump repeatedly veered off topic to attack Democrats, the media, and transgender people, boasting that under his leadership, “We have strong borders. We have no men in women’s sports. We’re not going to take your child away and change the sex of your child.”
I’m not sure why he’s wasting time on that orange turd. He should be getting the rebuild of our lost industries going and telling the americans to GTFO and eat dirt at this point. Stengthen ties with EU and Mexico now.
I wish we could do that. The biggest problem with doing so is oil. There is no continuous pipeline from Alberta to eastern Canada that doesn’t move through the States. If the worst happened, the biggest Canadian economies, Ontario and Quebec, would be devastated.
Before that oil was moved through pipelines it was moved by train, I’m sure that could be arranged to bridge some of the demand. Not perfect by any means, but it would help until we could solve the pipeline problem. At this point we need to plan for a “when” scenario.
I’m aware that the feds have been working on more international trade with our allies in Asia/Europe/anywhere that isn’t the USA…
I was commenting the other day to my SO that most products don’t even need to be “made in Canada” for me to want to buy them, they just need to say “not a product of the USA” and I’ll consider it a viable option to buy.
Anything made in the USA, I try to avoid or find non-US made alternatives.
The hardest thing for me is to get rid of Yankee shit is digital services eg Microsoft (use it for work) & google. My next phone will be a nothing or a fair phone.
I agree that Microsoft and Google are difficult to get rid of.
I haven’t yet decided what I’m going to do in this regard. Good luck friend.
There’s alternatives, protonmail, NorthMail, lots of non-google search engines, I need to find an alternative to google drive.
ill prefer made in canada, and be fine with ‘not american’
That’s pretty much me too.
