Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney told Donald Trump on Tuesday that his country will never be for sale, shutting down the U.S. president’s repeated calls to make Canada the 51st state.
“There are some places that are never for sale,” Carney said in the Oval Office.
Canada is “not for sale” and “won’t be for sale ever,” the prime minister said.
Trump replied: “Never say never.”
You missed the last part of that exchange.
Carney says “Never”.
He says it over and over bunch of times!
… has Canada considered buying the us? After all, we are for sale.
Canada has a similar GDP to Russia so frankly shame on Canadians for not buying a President before they all sold out.

”The price is you stepping down and agreeing never to run for any political office under pain of death”
Too cheap. It needs to be “the immediate resignation from office of anyone in the US who would want to purchase or otherwise take control of Canadian territory”.
Still too cheap. It should be “The complete dissolution of the United States as a singular entity”.
Still wouldn’t be worth it. We can’t expect Canadians to sacrifice themselves to the shitty US system, even the one without Trump.
Might as well skip the middle part, he’s never going to do any of that anyway.
I’d love to be locked in a room with Trump for an hour, he’d survive but I’d tell the world afterwards what his end goal was and every secret he had.
Is there at a c/iamverybadass yet?

Serious question: Do you think anybody would listen? There have been multiple former members of the White House staff and Cabinet you have come out with scathing tell-alls. Then there are the multiple communications leaks. Then outright just stating that they are going to do the thing.
I’m pretty sure we are well past the point of revealing his true end goals and ending him right there
Look man. If my favorite football team sucks and makes shitty deals for players and has a losing record, I’m still going over the top saying they’re gonna beat our main rivals and are the best ever. Hell I don’t even need to understand why they suck or what they could even do to get better. They’re my team! I can’t let you talk shit about them.

Probably not but I’d enjoy the hour but of course I wouldn’t actually resort to hurting him if possible.
I do want to know if he is actually a Russian Asset though.
if possible
Unless your EEG looks like a topographical map of Iowa, you should be jumping at him almost immediately or you’ll go insane. I cannot imagine the torture of listening to him talk for an hour without being able to physically make it stop.
I’m a bit of a sociopath what he says doesn’t really bother me I’d just be interested in getting the truth out of him.
I don’t want to hurt him mainly due to the legal system. As I don’t want the consequences but I would push the limits until he talked a lot.
I’m N Irish so I think he’d get I was serious and start talking almost immediately due to the accent and the various drills/saws scattered around. If he doesn’t he would regret it even though I’d keep him alive. I don’t want to be a killer but he has a hell of a lot of explaining to do in my opinion and zi seriously want to know whose pulling his strings.
Bold of you to assume he knows who is pulling his strings.
That’s something I’m sure would become clearer with questioning whether it’s Putin, vance or someone else.
It’s probably no one that either you or Trump has heard of.
He doesn’t have any secrets, he’s literally telling everyone exactly what he intends to do. People haven’t been listening.
It’s not a joke you dumb cunt. It was said with its full intention.

Being the convicted rapist that he is, Trump can’t take no for an answer.
Trump reading this as: “Canada won’t be on sale forever”
He should have punched that orange bitch in the face so fucking hard
Then jersey him and feed him a few more.
and get all that orange bronzer stained on his fist.

He didn’t say never he said not ever, open your ears
Is this a world class joke? N’Ever
Yes
Trump, a convicted rapist and felon with little education and a history of bankrupting everything he touches, thinks he’s going to out maneuver Carney, a man who’s highly educated, has run the bank of Canada, the Bank of England, and sat on the board of Brookfield, a company worth……over $900 US billion. Yeah, whatever.
Trump doesn’t even know when he’s being insulted, but nods and agrees.
OK Trump, time for a diaper change, warm bottle and a nap ya stupid fuck.
Well, at least until the cons get elected
Carney also called him a “transformational president” who “revitalized international security” and Trump nodded “it’s true!” because he’s too stupid to realize it wasn’t a compliment.
deleted by creator
Carney used “tranformational” twice, then Trump tried to use it but lost his train of thought.
That was the end of my watching tv cause my head hurt from his utter fucking stupidity.
Carney does like that word a lot, although not nearly as much as “if I may”
“If I may” is Canadian english for “please be quiet, I haven’t finished speaking”.
Or in American “shut the fuck up Donnie”

Or shut your fucking orange pie hole I’m speaking right now.
Your country’s leader may overuse turns-of-phrase. Mine is destroying a lifetime of political capital and hurting millions both domestically and internationally.
I’d choose your leader over mine in a hot second.
may overuse turns-of-phrase
Sorry. If I may, I suspect the listener may need repetition to be comfortable in the conversation, since it will re-use words he’s already figured out.
New deal, Canada becomes part of the US but we just let them be in charge and abandon our clearly failed political system

So much better than Trump’s mouth diarrhea
So fucking embarrassing.
Okay so the thing is Trunp might be embarrassing for you, but the threats to our sovereignty are fucking serious to us. It’s like, not a joke. Trunp has nukes and the biggest military on Earth and he’s saying Canada doesn’t exist, shouldn’t exist, is artificial, only exists cause the US lets us be here, we’re communist/socialists therefore should be attacked, we should be a state etc. The US can’t walk back that shit. We don’t WANT to do business with the US. We don’t want anything to do with the US- for generations.

I love this actually.

Where did I imply that any of this was funny?
Same. I only watched it cuz I like watching carney in action. Everyone else in that room makes me want to vomit
I think he handled him well.
He did. Carney fed Trump’s ego and used almost every one of his good-trigger words so Trump was placated.
If world leaders learned nothing else from the Zelenskiy debacle, it was that.
Imagine if Carney plays him so well that he becomes a trusted voice in Trump’s head, like Putin is. In such a scenario, Trump would pit Carney’s words on econ against his advisors. 😂
How would that even work? I’ll give you 100 dollars to be mine… then that 100 dollars becomes mine again?

and the important thing about the wait times: they may be annoying, but they’re never life or health threatening… triage exists
(i assume; i’ve never used the canadian health system)
Basically. If someone’s been on the receiving end of improvised heart surgery, they’ll be rushed ahead in priorities. So if you’re not having anything serious, the wait may be irritating and long, but if it’s urgent, it will be shorter due to the whole actively dying bit.
deleted by creator
I was envisioning “improvised heart surgery” as in a stabbing with a knife, as opposed to any surgical function.
But generally, if a someone is having a medical emergency and is brought into the ER, or is having a medical emergency in the ER, they will be triaged, and put ahead of a lot of people whose care isn’t as urgent, for good reason.
socialised healthcare! where everything’s free and the wait times don’t matter!
deleted by creator
I went in for chest pains at the end of last year, I was shocked at how fast I was seen. Once they established I wasn’t dying, I had a pretty long wait but overall service was really good and I paid nothing.
Well, not nothing, I’ve paid taxes my whole life. But I doubt I’ve paid the 6 figures amount that would’ve cost me in the US even if you add all my lifetime taxes together and during that time I still drove on roads and stuff.
Socialized medicine isn’t just a better option, it’s the only moral choice.
you’ve probably paid less for your own healthcare, and helped to pay for others’ at the same time
