BREAKING: Canadian Member of Parliament Charlie Angus humiliates MAGA Secretary of State Marco Rubio for his reckless remarks — says that he "needs to be sent back to school" before really tearing in.
America has become the laughingstock of the world under Donald Trump...
"Well, I think Marco Rubio probably needs to be sent back to school because when you say that someone doesn’t have a right to have a country, that’s an act of war," Angus told MeidasTouch.
He was referring to Rubio's support of Trump's idiotic demand that Canada become America's "51st state." Supposedly, the disastrous tariffs are an effort to coerce Canada into surrendering its sovereignty but there is simply no scenario in which they'll agree to do that.
"When you rip up arbitrarily trade agreements, and threaten, and say you're going to break a country, that’s an act of war," said Angus. "And Canadians have responded in kind."
"The boycott that Canada has launched against the United States is punishing," he continued. "We were told in January a 10% drop in Canadian travel to the United States would cost 140,000 jobs. We’re seeing at least a 40% drop now..."
"...and we’re hearing these nightmare stories of ICE detention centers, of people who are traveling across the border to fix their visa or that, that have been strip-searched, chained, and kept in deplorable conditions," he went on.
"Is Donald Trump really trying to destroy the tourism industry in the United States?" asked Angus. "And then like three days before St. Patrick's Day picks a fight with the Irish of all people? You're going to pick a fight with the Irish on the eve of St. Patrick's day, throwing 200% tariffs and then 200% tariffs on France?"
"I mean that's the last bottle of bourbon that'll be sold in a generation in Europe so what we're really picking up here is not just the rising level of resistance in Canada — and I've been on a tour through the industrial heartland of Canada and the resistance is so much stronger than I could have even dreamed — but we're picking up now the rest of the world is watching Canada and following our strategy..." he said.
"...which is just disengage and to disengage economically," he continued. "So the United States has become a much weaker force on the stage of the world. If people aren't buying products, if people aren't traveling, if people aren't willing to buy anything American right now that's hurting so many American businesses who are basically collateral damage in Donald Trump and Marco Rubio and J.D. Vance's idiotic campaign to please the MAGA voters."
"Its hurting us to some degree but it's right now, we think the impact on the average American business that has always had good relations with people in their markets, they're getting punched in the face right now because of what Donald Trump's doing."
Angus is absolutely right. America gains nothing from these destructive trade wars. All Trump is accomplishing is the immiseration of his own people. Meanwhile, our adversaries are starting to look like far more stable trading partners to our former allies.
Soon, America will stand alone.

More trumpy effect. There's no better advocate than trumpy to sour the thought of a right wing government.
"Prime Minister Mark Carney is calling the election Sunday with polls suggesting his Liberals are poised to defeat Pierre Poilievre’s Conservatives.
According to the Signal, the Star’s election predictor, Carney would win a majority of seats in the House of Commons if an election were held today."

You need to read up on Carney's Carbon Tax. Well, you were for the original carbon tax so you don't care....
CHARLEBOIS: Mark Carney’s carbon tax rebrand won’t stop food prices from rising
Prime Minister Mark Carney has signed an executive order eliminating the so-called “consumer carbon tax,” leading many Canadians to believe they will no longer feel its financial burden.
But make no mistake – the most damaging aspect of the carbon tax for our food economy remains intact.
Carney’s plan appears to shift toward what some call a “shadow” tax system – continuing to tax major polluters in the same way as before. While this version of carbon pricing may be less visible to consumers, its economic impact is no different.
Most Canadians support strong environmental policies that promote sustainability, but if those policies undermine food affordability and competitiveness, they warrant serious scrutiny.
At its core, the carbon tax accumulates costs at every stage of the food supply chain. It starts with farmers, who pay carbon taxes on fuel, fertilizers, and equipment – taxes that are further compounded by GST. Despite government rebates, production costs continue to climb.
