    Let's treat our long-time allies as red headed step children and simply be transactional. Loads of diplomatic winning there. SMH

    There's bi-partisan opposition to the tax, but it seems that Canada is willing to hit pause on its imminent implementation and instead discuss it as part of a broader, future trade agreement.

    Trump went in Canada dry.

    They cannot be allowed to tax our corporations... period.

    you mean like he did back in 2017, when he rightfully warned them about depending on Russian energy long before Russia invaded Ukraine.. then was chastised by our intellectual class and of course the media and left all Aghast by how he was talking our diplomatic ‘partners and allies ‘

    Only to have them all increase their spending from 2% to 5%. Yeah it’s called leadership on the world stage and not getting bent over by your ‘allies’. Articles below from 2017 and 2018 to help with your memory

    Levity is sometimes needed in these very polarizing threads. :D

    Okay... Canada NOT taxing our corporations shouldn't be that polarizing.
