Trump administration 2024-2028

I can't help but wonder if Ford and Carney are working together on this.

I can't see that Ford didn't get the 'green light' from Carney to run the ads. They seem to be in constant conservations and are seeing each other on an almost weekly basis.

If Carney didn't want Ford to run these ads, and remember these ads started running 8 days ago, not yesterday, and Ford had already been talking about these ads 12-14 days earlier (and possibly much earlier than that as it takes time to find the ad agency, pitch the idea to the ad agency, have the ad agency prepare a handful of options, review all the options, most likely air the options to target audiences, obtain feedback from those audiences, tweak the ads based on the feedback, review and agree upon the final ad, at the same time your approaching the networks about timeslots and cost to run the ads, the networks will review the ads to ensure that it meets with criteria as acceptable and then the ads finally run), Carney would have told Ford to not run them.

These ads have been running/available for viewing the in the US for 7 days BEFORE Trump came out against them. Now, the DAY before the first game of the World Series - which will have viewing around the world - which has the ONLY Canadian team playing against the LA Dodgers (based in California, a place with a Democratic Governor that Trump hates) and these ads WILL BE AIRED during the game, Trump comes out loudly against them. Come on, Carney and Ford worked together on this and both teams (Carney and Ford) had to have gamed out the various scenarios that could happen if this ad went on the US networks.

Carney has a difficult budget to pass, and now gets a sudden influx of Trump being unhinged towards Canada sucking up all the oxygen in the room?

I wonder if Trump and Carney work together more than we think, not just Carney and Ford.

I've tried finding the current trade tiff on Fox News's website and I can't find it. Its almost like Fox News doesn't want to show Reagan saying tariffs are bad.

So, Trump is a genius. Have you guys been following the East Wing demolition/Ball Room construction?

Trump said that HE is going to pay for it. It's going to cost around $230mil. Where's that money coming from?

Well, Trump's lawyers are suing the DOJ for all the cost and suffering he experienced with all the cases brought against him. How much is he suing for? Around $230 mil.

But who signs off on that payment if the lawsuit is successful? None other than DJT himself. When asked by the press what he'd do with the money and whether he thought it was wrong for him to sign off on a decision that would mean money going to him, he said something like "I'll donate it to a charity, or maybe to the white house."

So he's going to sue his own government to pay himself $230 million in order to pay for the construction of his new ballroom.

Fucking, diabolical.

Now that's an interesting theory. It could be very well true.

The fact that a week has gone by since the ads went out and now this happens? Strange timing from Trump.

I think that when this is over and done down the road, Trump may just come out and say that us Canadians were the most difficult to deal with and were worthy adversaries.

Not a chance. Doug is not much of a thinker. When he was on Toronto council, he was always at odds with council and couldn’t see beyond his riding whilst covering for his brother (got any coke) Rob.

Trump's 51st State shit talk died away. Liberals needed the boogeyman back to once again to scare/anger Canadians.

Enter the boogeyman man reacting exactly how everyone knew he would react. Result? Who cares how big the deficit is, we need to be protected from Trump.

The Instrumentalization of Disinformation in the US-Canada Trade War

The trade relationship between Canada and the United States of America (U.S.A) is one of the largest and most integrated in the world, with the combined value of imports and exports between both countries exceeding the $1 trillion mark for the third consecutive year in 2024. Additionally, Canada...

Two levels of court have ruled against them so far. The law seems pretty simple and straightforward on the particular issue at bar.

I hope they do rule against him and his tariffs….but I’m not holding my breath.

Trump needs to draw attention away from...whatever

Carney needs to drive up Americans unfairly targeting Canada.

He gets to do something that means nothing, because he can restart negotiations 5 minutes from now.

It's batman and joker, opposite sides of the same coin, and they compliment each other.

Carney, Trump haven’t spoken since U.S. scrapped trade talks with Canada: sources

Trade tensions between Canada and the U.S. have erupted after President Donald Trump abruptly called off negotiations because of an Ontario anti-tariff ad campaign. Here's what happened throughout the day.

Ford is 'pausing' the ads starting on Monday - but by then they will have ran tonight and tomorrow during the World Series games and most likely throughout Saturday and Sunday during US College Footballs game and the NFL games on Sunday. Pretty much enough time to ensure that everyone in the US will have seen them more than once, lol.

I'm back off to rural Pennsylvania, an hour east of Pittsburgh, tomorrow to watch my daughters Home Coming/Senior's Night Soccer game. I'll let you all know Sunday evening if my car with Ontario plates is vandalized or if my wife and I are tarred and feathered, lol.

Bless him. Hes certainly not a puppet of the Americans like so many feared he would be. He has been very critical of the poor treatment of migrants recently. He certainly is a worthy successor to Francis.

There is a whole parade of corporations and individuals donating to this vandalism as well.

Who's Paying to Wreck the White House?

Names, please.

Trump’s Fat Cat Vandals.
All true. But it seems worth pointing out that Trump’s whims have sugar-daddies. Lots of them. The massive new ballroom is being paid for by his grifty shakedowns extorted tribute corporate bribes private sector contributions.

The well-heeled donors of the Rich-and-Spineless Class imagine that their donations will buy them safety or influence. Some might even imagine that they were donating to a project of historic/civic improvement.

Instead, the enshittification of the White House will bear their names alongside Trump’s in the nation’s Hall of Shame.

CBS reported: “Lockheed Martin is among the companies that have pledged more than $10 million, according to one of the sources. Company officials declined to confirm the amount, but Jalen Drummond, vice president of corporate affairs at Lockheed Martin said in a statement: “Lockheed Martin is grateful for the opportunity to help bring the President’s vision to reality and make this addition to the People’s House, a powerful symbol of the American ideals we work to defend every day.” Other individuals have also pledged to contribute, including Blackstone Group CEO Stephen Schwarzman.

But the list of funders of Trump’s profane desecration of the White House is much longer. It includes:

  • The Adelson Family Foundation
  • Altria Group
  • Amazon
  • Apple
  • Booz Allen Hamilton
  • Caterpillar
  • Coinbase Global
  • Comcast
  • Google (Alphabet),
  • Hard Rock International
  • HP
  • Meta Platforms
  • Micron Technology
  • Microsoft
  • NextEra Energy
  • Palantir Technologies
  • Reynolds American (R.J. Reynolds),
  • Ripple
  • T-Mobile US
  • Tether,
  • Union Pacific Railroad.
(Carrier Global Corp. committed an air conditioning system and YouTube contributed $22 million as part of a lawsuit settlement.)

Individuals reported as donors include: Stefan E. Brodie, Charles and Marissa Cascarilla, J. Pepe and Emilia Fanjul, Edward and Shari Glazer, Harold G. Hamm, the Betty Wold Johnson Foundation, Benjamin Leon Jr., Kelly Loeffler and Jeff Sprecher, The Lutnick Family, The Laura & Isaac Perlmutter Foundation, Stephen A. Schwarzman, Konstantin Sokolov, Paolo Tiramani, Cameron Winklevoss, and Tyler Winklevoss.

Shame on all of them.
