Justin Trudeau taunts Donald Trump after Canada's hockey triumph
-
I suggest he lets that one marinade!
-
Being offended is not quickly forgotten. Ever hear the phrase "it's not what you say, it's how you make people feel"? That's because emotions are held for a loonngg time. Next time tariffs come up it's just a feeling of "Trudeau's an asshole, fuck him and Canada".
-
Don't forget, he already hates Trudeau, and probably won't love his successor either.
-
And this isn't helping. It's only adding fuel to the fire. FFS, why are you so intent on being a stick in the mud.
-
Doesn't that imply your plan is to put out the fire? That's not an option.
FFS, why are you so intent on being a stick in the mud.
I feel like we haven't been at this nearly long enough for that distinction. It hasn't even been an hour.
-
Seriously? No, not adding more fuel means NOT ADDING MORE FUEL. Let Trump get distracted with the next thing, god knows there's enough, and let this thing peter out.
And so you are a stick in the mud. Thanks, lets me know who I'm conversing with. Not worth it. Ciao.

Just totally shut down land trade through the center of the continent? Wars have been fought over less lol
-
and making a coordinated attempt to close land trade thru America…
What kind of logic are people using where that sounds like a snap decision with immediate results?
I genuinely am curious because apparently multiple people are coming to the same wrong conclusion.
Like if a 12 year old says they want to become a doctor, are you back the next day asking what the hold up is?
Is planning ahead just that foreign of a concept these days?
-
The answer is "Not".
Cowering from bullies doesn't make them ignore you. It just reinforces that you're an easy target. You stand ground, and be ready to pop em in the face if they come for you.
You might even get the worst of it, but from then on they know they can't come for you without having to pay for it.
-
Lol it's not cowering. It's letting Trump get distracted by something else. Lots of people here are 14 and very badass. A literal war is not out of the question and Canada would lose. "What are you going to do, stab me?" - Man that was stabbed. Trudeau would be better to just let Trump get distracted by the next thing.
-
Ok but they barely won. Like calm your titties that goalkeeper saved like 10 goals in insane ways
-
The fact that a war isn't out of the question is exactly why we puff ourselves up and look as intimidating as we possibly can. Trump is not simply going to ignore a free meal of all our national resources, but he might give it a pass if he realises we'll bite back.
-
Yeah you do that politically and militarily. Not with taunting and snarky hockey comments.
-
-
Yeah you do that politically
If the PM saying publically "You can't take our country" isn't an example of doing just that, I don't know what would be.
-
He has so much hate-filled energy, I think he needs all the pushback the world and his own constituents can give him. Keep him busy.
-
Sigh. That's not political. That's stupid smack talk. That's fucking asking him to do it. "What are you going to do, stab me?" - man that was stabbed.
-
Push back politically, not with stupid taunting smack talk. "What are you going to do, stab me?" - man that was stabbed. Let him get distracted with the next thing in the world.
-
Is this supposed to be our response to Trump's threats? Can't say it instills much confidence, or any actually.
-
I get what you're saying, but exports to the US are close to 20% of Canada's GDP, so it'd be more like chopping off an arm or two.
