Don’t believe for a second that the economic impacts are worse for the US

Totes McGotes 🇨🇦 📎🐾 @beccaroob2.bsky.social · 10h

No buddy this is worse for Canada than it is for you

You don’t understand economics apparently. Like so many comments on Canada from Americans, somehow you think the world should feel sorry for you while the guys you elected fuck over the global economy

At least we don’t have ICE but

I’m afraid they’re going to use the Trump playbook for how to get sued

They’ll slow walk and file appeal after appeal and then simply not pay

Seriously?
The cons think a tax cut is the answer for this?

Thank goodness it’s David talking to him and not JP Tasker

Cuz that’s not what Carney has been doing??
- why don’t they just admit they couldn’t do better

Totes McGotes 🇨🇦 📎🐾 @beccaroob2.bsky.social · 11h

He keeping him busy by asking for help and then he’ll blame his afmin for “just doing what they think is best” or not understanding what he told them. Nutlick knew the Jeep decision was coming the day the were in the Oval

Wtf did Trump ask Carney to meet with Kurshner & Whitcoff? Makes no sense

Totes McGotes 🇨🇦 📎🐾 @beccaroob2.bsky.social · 11h

He’s doing this thing that narcissists often do.
I don’t know how to explain how I know but I could see it during that meeting and even more so with the Gaza stuff.
Pretty sure he’s been playing a game with Carney where he’s asking for advice and pretending to be needy and so appreciative.

I’m so annoyed by this story

We truly need to make them pay back every cent

Totes McGotes 🇨🇦 📎🐾 @beccaroob2.bsky.social · 12h

You know that’s not how economics works right?

Totes McGotes 🇨🇦 📎🐾 @beccaroob2.bsky.social · 12h

Im disappointed but not really surprised that the US and their companies are screwing Canadians

That meeting in the Oval Office was fishy. Especially the comments from Nutlick and Trumps praise of the US ambassador.
Carney and team need to study up and narcissism- fast

Make them pay every dollar back to Canadian taxpayers before they leave. Every tax credit or corporate welfare benefit they received ought to be returned
Every. Last. Dime.

So discouraging to see a twit like this has 5k subs on Substack 😒

Clearly a convoy nut job who describes himself as a”covering politics” but basically cherry picks bad news to post against the libs and the NDP
Not sure why but I see quite a bit of Maple Maga crap on Substack

Lumber tariffs are a “two fer“ for Trump he hurts BC and he hurts California trying to rebuild

Totes McGotes 🇨🇦 📎🐾 @beccaroob2.bsky.social · 1d

I think he hates Eby for having a strong tariff stance from the beginning for being on the west coast for being NDP and for being an enemy of Danielle

If this shit keep up we’ll be forming a country with the west coast states

Call me paranoid but I’m pretty sure that BC is being singled out by the Trump administration
I know we have foreatry across Canada 🇨🇦 but it seems he really hates anything west coast

We have armed secret police kidnapping people off the street based on the color of their skin.

When we win: we will haul them before a Senate committee. The masks will come off. There will be consequences.

Deluded-and he’s not the only one who just won’t face what’s actually happening

In Canada our conservatives are pretending they aren’t controlled by a far right essentially Maga wing of their party. They enjoy being smug about the softness/impracticality of liberal values
