The US is threatening #Canada (again) if we don't but their F-35s. Here's what Denmark said about the ones they bought, and regret buying:
"They're in for repairs about half the time or even more," he said, "so the Americans have all the power of actually destroying our air force just by shutting down [parts] supplies."

Petty little man-child #Trump threatens new 100% #tariffs on #Canada over possible #trade deal with #China
The comments threaten to deepen the divide between Trump & Canadian PM #MarkCarney, after back-&-forth threats to impose tariffs on Canadian goods, including 10% duties, after Ontario’s ad featuring former President Ronald Reagan’s speech about tariffs.

I don’t know how I could get up in the morning, given everything that’s going on, if I didn’t know I was making a small difference for Canada’s future.

"What sparked Carney’s intervention was not Sudan, Venezuela or Gaza. It was the US threat to Canada and Greenland.
A western prime minister took umbrage only when the US, under President Donald Trump, threatened to treat the prosperous West in the same way it has long treated the Global South.
Let’s return now to Israel’s recent invasion of Unrwa’s headquarters in occupied East Jerusalem: a gross breach of international law and a direct attack on the United Nations.
Article 6 of the UN charter establishes that any state that persistently violates its principles can be expelled from the UN. The attack on Unrwa is part of a pattern of Israel’s criminal hostility towards the UN, including its refusal to respect orders from the International Court of Justice on Gaza, its slaughter of UN aid workers and its regular attacks on UN positions in southern Lebanon.
The case for expelling - or at the very least suspending - Israel from the UN is overwhelming. Yet neither Carney’s Canada nor Starmer’s Britain, nor any other western power, has so much as suggested the idea.
In his Davos speech, Carney set out Canada’s approach as follows: “We aim to be principled and pragmatic. Principled in our commitment to fundamental values: sovereignty and territorial integrity, the prohibition of the use of force except when consistent with the UN Charter, respect for human rights. Pragmatic in recognising that progress is often incremental, that interests diverge, that not every partner shares our values.”
This is all well and good. But on the evidence so far, Carney is prepared to be principled when it comes to western countries like Canada and Denmark, and pragmatic when it comes to Palestine and Venezuela.
This is a fundamentally racist equation."

The dictator dunce is threatening Canada with 100% tariffs if they continue making trade deals with China.
Countries around the world can deal with whoever they want. Especially if a long time trading partner continues to break deals, cheat, and threaten them.
Side note: It’s going to be very, very expensive to be an American consumer and manufacturer soon.

It’s a turnaround from his previous comments. #Trump told reporters on Jan 16 that, “It’s a good thing for (Carney) to sign a #trade deal. If you can get a deal with #China, he should do that.”
Earlier this month, #Carney met with Chinese President #Xi Jinping on his turf, where they formed a “new strategic partnership,” with #Canada easing #tariffs on Chinese #EVs & allowing up to 49k Chinese electric vehicles into its market annually.
#China is also expected to reduce tariff barriers on Canadian canola seed, lobster & peas later this year.
It’s unclear what would classify as a “deal” to trigger the tariffs against #Canada.…
#Trump’s threat comes after #Carney charted a path forward for Canada on Tuesday, warning that stronger countries have been using “economic integration as weapons,” “ #tariffs as leverage,” & “supply chains as vulnerabilities to be exploited.”
#Trump mockingly referred to #Carney as “governor,”… playing off his call for #Canada to become the 51st #state.
“If Governor Carney thinks he is going to make Canada a ‘Drop Off Port’ for #China to send goods & products into the #UnitedStates, he is sorely mistaken. China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, & general way of life,” Trump posted…
