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.”
Carney also called him a “transformational president” who “revitalized international security” and Trump nodded “it’s true!” because he’s too stupid to realize it wasn’t a compliment.
Carney used “tranformational” twice, then Trump tried to use it but lost his train of thought.
That was the end of my watching tv cause my head hurt from his utter fucking stupidity.
So fucking embarrassing.
Okay so the thing is Trunp might be embarrassing for you, but the threats to our sovereignty are fucking serious to us. It’s like, not a joke. Trunp has nukes and the biggest military on Earth and he’s saying Canada doesn’t exist, shouldn’t exist, is artificial, only exists cause the US lets us be here, we’re communist/socialists therefore should be attacked, we should be a state etc. The US can’t walk back that shit. We don’t WANT to do business with the US. We don’t want anything to do with the US- for generations.
Where did I imply that any of this was funny?
Carney does like that word a lot, although not nearly as much as “if I may”
“If I may” is Canadian english for “please be quiet, I haven’t finished speaking”.
Or in American “shut the fuck up Donnie”
Agreed. It’s called “manners” and “diplomacy”. Something Trump knows nothing about.
Or shut your fucking orange pie hole I’m speaking right now.
Your country’s leader may overuse turns-of-phrase. Mine is destroying a lifetime of political capital and hurting millions both domestically and internationally.
I’d choose your leader over mine in a hot second.
New deal, Canada becomes part of the US but we just let them be in charge and abandon our clearly failed political system
I think he handled him well.
He did. Carney fed Trump’s ego and used almost every one of his good-trigger words so Trump was placated.
If world leaders learned nothing else from the Zelenskiy debacle, it was that.
I know! I caught that too! Carney is awesome.
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)
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
… 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.
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.
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.
As an American, all I can say is “I’m sorry that we have inflicted this Orange Buffon on the world.” Thank you for seeing him as the pathetic loser he is.
By all means punish America for this. Our voters seem to be assholes and only concerned with the price of eggs. We need to suffer a little financially to learn our lesson.
As an American, I’d like to say “I’m sorry that we have inflicted this Orange Buffon on the world. TWICE.”
I was listening to a Jim Gaffigan bit he wrote during the first Trump admin which is even more true these days. Short version, he compares having Trump as President to having a parent who’s a raging alcoholic: what he does isn’t directly your fault but you still know you should apologize.
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?
You missed the last part of that exchange.
Carney says “Never”.
He says it over and over bunch of times!

I think his top priority was to avoid confrontation. He has experience with dumb politicians from his time at the bank of England.
He has experience with dumb politicians from his time …
at the recent election
He didn’t say never he said not ever, open your ears
Is this a world class joke? N’Ever
Canada should play the longer game and agree to join the US if:
- each province becomes a state.
- more representatives get added to accommodate the additional states.
- French remains an official/supported language.
- poutine becomes a national dish.
- 5 years of no income tax for formerly Canadian citizens.
- favorable conversion to USD
And lose access to healthcare, get tsunami’d by guns, be forced to capitalize on everything for the shareholders, and become part of the current laughing stock of the world?
I doubt any Canadian would want that.
This shows a deep deep ignorance of the history of Canada. Why don’t you take your chatGPT generated answer and go Amerisplain somewhere else - like US-owned reddit or some shit.
Well, at least until the cons get elected
Carney should have said something like “if you want our countries to be friends, then start treating us like a friend and start acting like a friend.”
Talk to Trump at his level, akin to a 5 year old.
He’s not a 5yo, he’s a sociopath.
And a megalomaniac with Alzheimer’s
Being the convicted rapist that he is, Trump can’t take no for an answer.
What would it even mean to “sell” Canada? Whatever deal they make, the US could just back out of once Canada became a state, and Canada wouldn’t be able to do anything about it. It’s a non-sensical idea.
Selling territories makes sense, but selling your own sovereignty does not.
