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.”
… 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.
You missed the last part of that exchange.
Carney says “Never”.
He says it over and over bunch of times!
Being the convicted rapist that he is, Trump can’t take no for an answer.
”The price is you stepping down and agreeing never to run for any political office under pain of death”
Might as well skip the middle part, he’s never going to do any of that anyway.
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.
Wimpy sat there, too stupid to know he got insulted, and too scared to use his big boy voice. He only does that shit when he’s backed up by his homies or alone at a mic at a rally.
Literally stared at the carpet. You could see the gears turning, but the only thing really going through his mind was that he wanted a hamburger. And maybe a diaper change.
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.
Well, at least until the cons get elected

This wasn’t a “meeting”. This was Trump embarrassing himself, as usual. Trump talks about Canada joining the US, saying “tremendous health care”. OK, really? Talking about Carney, right in front of him: “This man coming up through the ranks”. OMG! Look at Mark Carney’s resume you idiot. And, bringing up Wayne Gretzky?
It’s not a joke you dumb cunt. It was said with its full intention.
Trump reading this as: “Canada won’t be on sale forever”
Damn fucking right. Eat shit Trump and moron sycophants.
Carney fed the troll. Somehow I guess he never heard of “don’t feed the troll”.
I think his top priority was to avoid confrontation. He has experience with dumb politicians from his time at the bank of England.
Justin was coy with Trump too. Our scumbag cons brought that out so often I thought it was a rented trumpet.
He has experience with dumb politicians from his time …
at the recent election
How would that even work? I’ll give you 100 dollars to be mine… then that 100 dollars becomes mine again?
And let’s not forget our health care. We may have challenges, but Canadians aren’t losing their homes and/or life savings because of medical emergencies. I dislocated and broke my arm last year from a bad fall. Long wait at emergency, but once x-rays were done and I saw a doctor, surgery was scheduled quickly. Total bill: $0.00
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.
“improvised” will be rushed ahead in priorities? No, that’s not how it works. No one is dying.
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!
You think medical staff has magically more resources when the funding is managed differently?
i think that socialised healthcare tends to have better health outcomes and wait times are both not that bad, and at worst a minor inconvenience
If someone needs immediate health care, it’s there. Everyone is triaged, which means you are evaluated and are put in order of severity. No one loses their house because of health bills. No one loses their life savings because of health bills. No one dies because they can’t afford their medication. In the US health care is big business. In Canada it’s a right.
Yes, triage exists. In my case, despite my injury, they monitored me and I was placed in sequence of severity. My heart beat and blood pressure were ok, so I waited. I’m cool with that. If someone is in more distress than me, by all means, take them first.
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
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.
