“The Great State of Canada is stunned as the Finance Minister resigns, or was fired, from her position by Governor Justin Trudeau,”

“Her behavior was totally toxic, and not at all conducive to making deals which are good for the very unhappy citizens of Canada,” Trump continued, ending his post with: “She will not be missed!!!”

Stupid misogynist President-elect using opportunity to dunk on women he doesn’t know, more at 7.

Hey, that’s not very fair - he dunks on women he does know just as often.

He’s an egalitarian misogynist he treats all women (excluding Ivanka) uniformly like shit.

He has personal experience with Freeland that is informing his fragility.

I bet he never heard the name before and still has no idea what she was doing. He’s just trying to start a bandwagon and doesn’t seem to realize how much this makes almost everyone in Canada want to slap him on sight.

Unless he forgot, Trump is well aware of her.

She was one of the lead Canadian negotiators during the re-negotian of NAFTA (a process Trump triggered because he pretended he could negotiate a better deal). She was tough and capable, and Trump hated that.

Also, she is very strong on supporting Ukraine against Russia, so Putin also dislikes her to the point of adding her to the list of individuals banned from Russian territory.

More then that. She employed guile and cunning to both push for our desired position and delay our southern neighbours to the point where they didn’t get a chance to plead their case in the negotiations. In short, she owned the USA in the negotiations for the USMCA. If Trump knows someone other than ‘the governor,’ you just know that she’s a threat to him. Let’s make her PM.

The Great State of Canada

I have to give myself daily reminders that the US and Canada are still allies, despite him acting this way.

The problem with him is that he doesn’t uphold his agreements. Combine that with him thinking that the President is King and the US is an extension of himself means that you can no longer trust the US to uphold its agreements. So, no we are no longer allies in any way that you can count on. I’d suggest that Canada pay lip service to the “allies” bit, but not count on it in any way.

Given who the US allies with, you might want to take the opportunity and join the right side of history as a nation and isolate yourselves from the US.

It’s kinda hard to isolate outselves from the US when we share a 5500 mile long land border.

Like it or not, they’re always going to be an outsized factor of life here.
