Despite strained ties, U.S. senator says Canada should be cautious of making deals with China

Chinese vehicles into Canada. That's not something we want in the United States." You mean you kept wanting people to buy over priced shit boxes that has the reliability of a late 90s fiat. Yeah we are good .

It’s like an abusive spouse surprised when the abused leaves to find a relationship elsewhere. I agree China isn’t an ideal partner, but it’s the best alternative right now and it’s all thx to one person who doesn’t understand global politics or economics.

I mean, I don't doubt the US doesn't want competition for their vehicles. But also like, who in Canada cares that they don't want that?

Funny, we in Canada don't want you waging economic warfare and aiming to annex us, but that didn't stop you running your mouth did it?

Yeah we don't want to watch Chinese vehicles only enter Canada because we also want them here. Soon these damn Canadians will be driving their efficient Chinese EVs down to the states and we'll all be jealous as hell.

Look how she words it. "Thats not something we want in the United states" Its the same 51st state shit

American here. America can eat it's own filthy unwashed ass.

Ford and GM execs care deeply about this

Isn’t she former CIA? I don’t think she’s a liberal person, probably a very zero sum kind of thinker.

Nope. I trust China more than the USA, too. At least there hasn't been threats to our sovereignty from China. The Canada-U.S relationship is done and will never return to how it was but these delusional fucks seem to think things will go back to normal. We hate them.

I’m an American and I want Chinese cars! Tired of being ripped off for the pieces of shit they sell here. If China takes over our economy, it will be nobody’s fault but the corporations that continuously bent over the American people without Vaseline

Fords CEO drives around in a Xiaomi. Americans want Chinese cars!

As an American, the initial statement seems to have some merit, and then this quote shits on that entirely. I mean, okay I get it, it was said plainly they don't want it to impact the automotive sector. Well maybe someone should have thought about that before all this idiocy took place. We have Chinese vehicles in the US. These people are flat out braindead. Anyways, I personally have said to be wary of China, but doing some trade is just free market policy. I would advise working with Europe as well, it could be mutually beneficial. I definitely wouldn't advise listening to anything this administration says at this point. It's absolutely ludicrous day after day. Why the hell would they ruin NAFTA if they gave half a damn? Maybe they should have thought about that in the first place.  Sorry Canada, it's nice doing business with you, but I would avoid making deals with these people whenever possible. Maybe one day we'll be able to do sensible business again.

I’m an American and I think Canada should do what’s best for them and ignore our hissy fits down here. It’s likely the only way they will stop.

Yes, that is their point.

Isn't Trump going to China this week to talk deals?!

I trust China more than that gang of pedophiles in the white house.

“You don’t get a deal from me. And you are not allowed to deal with China” idiotic orange king’s brain.

This is not hypocrisy. This is a warning from an addict.

Can’t be a worse trading partner than the US

Baby come back, blame the tariffs all on me, baby come back, we need potash and oil for free.

us wants maximum control and leverage over its "partner" states and its passing off its tutelage as paternalism.

Cause the US thinks they own us for some reason.

The US has always been the world's bully. We talk about big bad Russia but the US is the worst country of them all 

Exactly. Lurch towards fascism aside, the U.S. is so underdeveloped compared to other OECD/G7 countries its a statistical outlier. They spend 2.3x OECD avg on healthcare yet have vastly worse health outcomes and have an avg lifespan 6-7 years shorter. Infant mortality rate 50% higher and maternal mortality rate 2x higher than their peers. Almost 50% fewer doctors/citizen. Vastly higher income inequality and child poverty rates. Zero social safety net for seniors, the disabled, the sick etc. No Employment Insurance. No guaranteed vacation, sick leave, or maternity/paternity leave. A Supreme Court that has effectively said its legal for the State/Federal governments and private employers to discriminate against people based on their sex, race, and creed, up to the point of purposefully disenfranchising their votes. I honestly don't think the U.S. should be referred to as a developed nation in the same way Japan, France, Canada, Australia, Germany, Italy etc. are. It's really only developed if you're incredibly wealthy. If not, you'd seriously be better off moving to somewhere like Romania.

Whoa whoa whoa. Cant expect our bought and paid for congress to suddenly grow a spine. It’s a big ask to not be a scum sucker. How till they pay their bills??!

Exactly. We Canadians should’ve been more cautious when we made deals with Americans…

Unfortunately there is a lot of arrogant paternalization that flows northward to us from the US. Some down there have it in their minds that because theirs is a bigger and more powerful country than ours, that also means that they know a) more than us and b) what's better for us than we do. It is one of the most insulting things one country can do to another - claim that they know what's better for them - and it's that exact kind of rhetoric which has historically led to imperialistic invasions and conquests.

Yup, this headline alone has a very obvious bias

We have learned to hold our noses.

Mic Drop! 😄

Slotkin the former cia agent is authentic? The bar must be incredibly low.

It’s still the world’s largest economy, its largest military, and its most technologically advanced country. You can hate the US but it’s still the most powerful nation by far

Underrated comment. You can look at it from a Biden didn't reverse the bad stuff point of view, or from a Democrats didn't hold Clinton accountable for lying to congress point of view. Either way, neither party is good for Canada.

They're all a bunch of pedophile protectors.

Maybe they'll throw some tariffs our way.

If it was just him I would have some hope.  The entire administration is rotten to the core and they are doing a great job of destroying everything they can. 

I’m more concerned about the fact that the third of the country still supports that maniac

He's not the problem. They had a second chance to show the world their true colours, and they did.

To be fair, there's no reason they can't both be bad for Canada. But I agree, America is at the moment much worse. 

It’s self preservation at this point. You guys were super fun neighbours, but you let your shit head millionaires grow into shithead billionaires, so sue us if we start locking our garden shed and our gate.
