Peter Navarro said Canadian lobbyists should ‘get the hell out of our country’

One of U.S. President Donald Trump’s trade advisers is threatening repercussions for Canada if it “interferes” in the upcoming midterm elections — though it’s not clear what he anticipates the country would do to impact the vote.

    As if the US isn’t ACTIVELY fucking with our own elections (BC and Quebec). Projection… again.

    Every accusation is a confession… you’ve heard this one before.

    I do feel bad for many Americans, but boy am I enjoying watching the collapse of that shit empire. The most corrupt country in the history of the world, it’s only fitting to go down this way.

      It’s not even the most corrupt country in the world at this moment, let alone in history. No need for hyperbole, the reality is bad enough.

    Canada has absolutely no control over what the US politicians make into an election issue. The Republicans under Trump are giving all the ammunition that the opposition needs, no help from Canada necessary. This election will be an entirely Made in the US of A product.

      They can say whatever they want. As long as our leadership is putting in guard rails to prevent future governments from collaborating with the US then I don’t care.

      Odds are more than zero percent that he declares a state of emergency with the false pretext that Canada “interfered” in the election.

      Or he goes to war with Canada.

        Pretty much all of the top generals in America have bluntly told Trump they can not and will not follow an illegal order from him to attack Canada. That pretty much makes it zero percent probability. Besides, the second in command in NORAD that has to obey such an order is a Canadian officer. The top American commander can not do it alone.

        Will that be before or after the US annihilates Iran (again)? Oh wait, the US also has to invade Cuba and build as many bases as they want in Greenland.

        Canada will be penciled in for summer 2028.

    When your enemies make clear that they hate what you’re doing, that’s the best indication that you’re doing the correct thing.

    Trump didn’t seem to care that much about election fairness when he started discussing the Annexation of Canada.

    So if the Dems take more control it will be Canada’s fault not the shear incompatence of Trump and his administration?
