Just a few minutes ago convicted felon President Trump posted “I look forward to meeting the new Prime Minister of Canada, Mark Carney. I very much want to work with him, but cannot understand one simple TRUTH — Why is America subsidizing Canada by $200 Billion Dollars a year, in addition to giving them FREE Military Protection, and many other things? We don’t need their Cars, we don’t need their Energy, we don’t need their Lumber, we don’t need ANYTHING they have, other than their friendship, which hopefully we will always maintain. They, on the other hand, need EVERYTHING from us! The Prime Minister will be arriving shortly and that will be, most likely, my only question of consequence,” so you know this chore for Carney is going to go just spectacularly.
Canada supplied 25 percent of the US’s lumber and 19.3 percent of its oil in 2023. It’s beyond fucking suicidal to say we don’t need either of them and to cut off the imports.
