Actually, it's a "trade special operation."
Yes! How dare you stand up to the bully? You should take the wedgies and say thank you!
Canadians definitely haven’t been showing enough gratitude since these tariffs on their products came into effect!
“"Prime Minister Carney used the term 'war.' It’s not a word we use, right? We don’t talk about it that way. For us, it’s business, it’s economics," Greer told the FT News Briefing podcast.”
I guess we could just do some “business” and “economics” and stop sending electricity and oil to the US…
It might be because people in Geneva get nervous when Canadians get into a war.
"It's not a word we use, right? For us, it's special operations, it's tactical engagements."
It's only a war when it's against a concept that can't actually fight back, like terror or drugs. And they still lose.
He’s worried about losing another “war” that Americans started with no exit plan
'We don’t talk about it that way. For us, it’s business, it’s economics,' Greer told the FT News Briefing podcast.
Who is this 'we' he is talking about?

It must be something not part of the US government and not represented by US media.
They know.
They don't care.
No, but, Truth Social is all about the truth, isn't it? It's the one source I was sure I could rely on. I mean, it's right there in the name...
Pretty fucking annoying CBC not posting these quotes in the article themselves.
What would you expect from the government that thinks what's going in Iran isn't a war?
Their demands included us being a vasal nation.
That is a declaration of war.
Most of these quips from US trade officials have been so weird and out there I can't even get mad.
No, no, no, no, no. It's just enhanced interrogation techniques. It's not torture at all.
The entire world is unhinged! The Untied States ripped the door off its hinges so hard, the hinges disintegrated!
