As usual, you don't know what the fuck you are talking about!

Thank you, andcoming from you, that's a SPLENDID compliment, My Good
Man...!!!
If Alberta joins the States, will you "flee" to Cuba, Ontario, North
Korea, or Quebec as a "political refugee from TRUMP", Graham...???
OH, and Canada has long been one of NATO’s laggards. It has NEVER met
the alliance’s target of spending at least 2 percent of GDP on defense
and shelled out a mere 1.37 percent of GDP in 2024 - simply
SHAMEFUL...!!!
Read and WEEP, Graham... BWAHAHAHAHAAAAAAAAAA...!!!
NATIONAL REVIEW:

Mark Carney Will Lose the Standoff with Trump
He has no good options.
"Thursday’s U.K.-U.S. trade deal may give hope to Canadian Prime
Minister Mark Carney that his nation could score a similarly rapid pact.
He should think again...
President Trump’s deal with Great Britain likely came so quickly because
so little was truly at stake. The U.S. had an $11.9 billion trade
surplus in goods with Britain in 2024. Add in the trade in services, and
the U.S. surplus grew to $78 billion...
America, on the other hand, ran a combined $31.6 billion goods and
services trade deficit with Canada in 2023...
Trump wildly overstates the true amount when he says the U.S. subsidizes
Canada to the tune of $200 billion a year, but it’s clear he intends to
turn that into a surplus...
Turning that around means either Canada would have to export less to the
U.S. or, the more likely path, purchase more from it. Either approach
would cause Carney significant economic and political headaches...
Canada could cut the trade deficit a lot by purchasing U.S. weaponry as
part of a military spending increase. Canada has long been one of NATO’s
laggards...
It has never met the alliance’s target of spending at least 2 percent of
GDP on defense and shelled out a mere 1.37 percent of GDP in 2024...
It’s just a fact that Canada’s economy depends much more on sales to the
United States than vice versa. Fully 19 percent of Canada’s GDP consists
of exports to the U.S.; only 1.5 percent of U.S. GDP comes from exports
to Canada...
No wonder Canadians say that when America sneezes, Canada catches a
cold...
Carney, then, has a choice...
Do what British Prime Minister Keir Starmer did and strike a quick deal
on America’s terms and take the heat or play to the domestic audience
and hope to wait Trump out...
Having just won an election by playing on Canadians’ historic fear of
their much larger neighbor, Carney will likely take the second path —
and pay a much higher price when he eventually must bow to reality...'
