Canada's Safe 3rd Country agreement deems the US a "safe third country". It isn't anymore.

We should temporarily suspend our agreement with them on this - at least until the Trump administration gets it's act together. That will send a message!

The reality of the US getting 'ripped off': If the US buys more of your exports than you buy from them (they export to you), you are being unfair & ripping them off.

This is how it works.

I agree with Tay - Chiang's apology is not good enough. Given the gravity of what happens to pro-democracy voices in HK/China.
More than disgusting or deplorable - it's toxic!!!

Chiang should have been removed or stepped down immediately. It's just toxic!!!

With the F-35, "the US gov't has control over what's loaded into the latest version" of the F-35". This leaves us vulnerable.

I worked abroad & ended up in the middle of a civil war.

Diversions were created (by ruling power) to shift people's focus - very clearly a strategy to shift focus off concerning issues (including human rights).

The attitude & actions Trump & his team are taking remind me of that.

I think Trump is playing with your head, Pierre.

It gets your focus on Carney - part of Trumps' divide and conquer strategy. I think he's playing you, the election, and the Canadian people when he talks like that.

It's his talk, not Carney's.
