Cultural Protections and Language Rights: Late U.S. positions sought to weaken long-standing Canadian protections for domestic culture, media, and French-language support.
Sovereignty and Foreign Trade Restrictions: The U.S. introduced last-minute demands to restrict Canada’s independent ability to pursue and secure trade agreements with other global nations.
Attacks on Core Industries (Autos): Washington pushed unsupportable economic terms that threatened Canada’s domestic automotive sector and manufacturing footprint.
VA CHIER!
DROP DEAD U.S.
Americans? Your government has declared war on Canada. In hard copy for the world to see. This bunch of pseudo-human beings making up the CUSMA negotiators declared war on our culture, our languages and our country.
They declared war by trying to tell us with whom we can trade and negotiate trade deals.
They have attacked our industries.
Word is they also wanted to control our seaports.
Our Prime Minister ordered our negotiators to come home. We all knew that any deal with the U.S. was not worth the paper on which it was written. Nothing coming out of your government is worth a rat’s ass. A government that ignores its own due process, its own laws is not a government. It is a rag-tag collection of fascists and radical right wing wanna-be theocrats.
It is our hope, as a nation, that we go forward without the U.S. It is our hope to open up new trade opportunities with nations that keep their nose out of our sovereignty. It is our hope Americans kick these criminals to the curb, where they belong, come the mid-terms.
