Canada’s pivot to Europe becomes more real. Now 🇨🇦 and Germany deepen energy, critical minerals, AI and defence links. Just signed an agreement on closer cooperation on sensitive security/defence projects. Diversifying beyond the US: building trade, supply chains and partnerships with Europe. 🇨🇦🇩🇪🇪🇺

Greenland and Denmark played Trump like a fiddle. He’s acting like he scored some big new deal, but it’s basically the same arrangement that’s been in place since 1951 but with the recognition of territorial integrity and Greenlanders’ right to self-determination. 🇩🇰🇬🇱🇨🇦

Greenlandic newspaper Serm Sermitsiaq reports that the US-Denmark-Greenland deal looks remarkably like the defence framework the US already had with Denmark and Greenland since 1951. After all Trump’s drama, the agreement appears to resemble the existing arrangement “neither more nor less.” 🇬🇱🇩🇰🇨🇦

Discrepancy continues:Trump describes US rights under the agreement as US control; Copenhagen & Nuuk describe those rights as expanded US security access exercised within unchanged Danish sovereignty and Greenlandic self-determination. We shall see the facts really are when the text is released! 🇩🇰🇬🇱🇨🇦

A clash over detail of Greenland deal. Trump: US has gained permanent control over Greenland’s security. Denmark/Greenland: Sovereignty remains intact as does Greenland’s territorial integrity & the Greenlandic people’s right to self-determination. Will the agreement clarify this contradiction? 🇩🇰🇬🇱🇨🇦

Mark Carney today: “We do not seek power to dominate others. On the contrary, we are pursuing resilience so that no one can control our open markets, impair our sovereignty, threaten our territorial integrity, or undermine our freedoms, our democracies, our rule of law.” 🇨🇦 🇪🇺

Canada’s Carney embraces EU associate membership proposal

After Trump describes the tie-up as ‘laughable’, PM says majority of Canadians support closer ties with bloc

PM Mark Carney offers an inspiring vision: a world where nations cultivate peace and freedom together, and reminds us that what we plant today can flourish for generations to come. 🇨🇦

So heartening! 🇨🇦🇪🇺

The way this delighted me 😂 #cdnpoli

Denmark and Canada are natural friends and partners in our fast changing world.

This European welcomes a tighter relationship with our allies in Canada.

Von der Leyen invites 🇨🇦 to become the EU’s 1st associate member. Together 🇪🇺 & 🇨🇦 can strengthen Arctic security, develop energy & mineral resources responsibly, cooperate on tech & defence, & support Ukraine & global democratic values. As links with the US are uncertain, 🇨🇦 & the EU draw closer.

🇨🇦Trump menace de fermer le marché américain à Bombardier. Québec ne plie pas. La première minister du Québec Christine Fréchette répond fermement : « Le Québec ne laissera personne dicter où nos entreprises doivent produire pour avoir accès à un marché. »

How is it possible that this lunatic with access to the nuclear codes is allowed to continue in office? Claiming US ownership of the Moon is not laughable but delusional. Imagine for a second if any other world leader made such a claim, even in jest. 🇨🇦

Trump’s tariffs were to bring manufacturing home. Instead, ironically, according to the Toronto Star some US firms are heading north. Wildlife Acoustics says producing in Ontario is almost 30% cheaper than in the US. Howell Ski Bindings is planning production in Quebec. They did the maths. 🇨🇦 won.

Trump’s veiled suggestion that the US might side with Argentina’s Milei over the Falklands should make the UK sit up. The UK should learn from Canada: stand firm with fellow serious democracies, resist the intimidation of long-standing allies by a bullying, increasingly reckless US administration. 🇨🇦

Venezuelan Nobel Peace laureate María Corina Machado and opposition leader, normally pro-US, criticises Trump for doing a vast oil deal with an illegitimate unelected regime: “The wealth of our subsoil does not belong to an illegitimate regime. It belongs to the Venezuelan people.” 🇨🇦

UK’s weekly “the Spectator”: The US is waging a trade war with Canada: a country with which we share a close alliance, a cultural heritage and a sovereign, but the UK has said nothing. Standing with Canada against American intimidation is morally correct and in Britain’s own long-term interests. 🇨🇦

Trump boasts as if Venezuela’s oil is already pouring into US cars. But turning reserves into production to fill US gas tanks will take years and billions of US$. And what about the deeply colonial arrogance of stealing another country’s natural wealth? Venezuela’s oil belongs to Venezuelans. 🇨🇦

Ford: "I don't respond to a dictator like Trump, a bully like Trump ... I'm not gonna take any advice off a guy that's the king of bankruptcies ... your own people don't even like you. And they're gonna speak loud and clear in the midterms. If I was allowed to, I'd be down there door-knocking."

Ontario Premier Doug Ford: "The red states we're gonna hit hard ... you think an insult from him [Trump] hurts me? Bring it on, buddy. You're a loser."

Dear PM Carney, Hit the exports of swing states. America will thank you. (And apologies about the lunatic to you and all Canadians.) Signed, America

Canada fuels American growth. Canada supplies 99% of natural gas imports, 85% of electricity imports and 60% of crude oil imports. I don't think they want us to stop sending any of that energy. -PMCarney #TrumpTariffs

The United States and Canada have been friends, partners, and allies for more than 150 years across 32 presidential administrations. And now, solely because of the arrogance, incompetence, and ego of the current occupant of the White House, that relationship is being driven straight toward a cliff.

Yup

Standing up for Canadian sovereignty and dignity, calmly and with all seriousness. 🇨🇦

Ontario Premier Doug Ford has Trump’s measure: “President Trump is the type of person that would steal your lunch money the first day. He’d steal the toque off your head the second day and the third day he’d steal your running shoes.” His conclusion? “Trump can’t be trusted.” Canada: stand firm. 🇨🇦

The True North strong and free! 🇨🇦

Carney Stands Up to Trump in U.S.-Canada Trade War (Gift Article)

Canada’s prime minister walked away from what he thought was a bad trade deal with the United States. Many Canadians are behind him, but it will be costly.

nytimes.com

A statesman’s measured reply from Canada’s PM Mark Carney: deal with today’s US administration with clear eyes. If agreements aren’t honoured, if “partners” can’t be trusted don’t trade away dignity or sovereignty. The world should be watching and learning. 🇨🇦

Canada is right to stand firm. Lutnick’s last-minute intervention upending a deal already on the table to demand still more concessions shows why the US can no longer be treated as a reliable negotiating partner. Sovereignty and self-respect are not bargaining chips. 🇨🇦

Calling North Korea "unthreatening and respectful" when they send missiles, shells, and troops to kill Ukrainians is a special kind of lunacy.
