USMCA / CUSMA Must Be Terminated
Canada needs to start the six-month process of exiting USMCA / CUSMA1.
This trade agreement – a reworking of NAFTA which has been around since the 1994 – is irrevocably broken2. It is untenable that this agreement stays in force, giving American firms an enormous number of advantages in Canada, and giving that country priority rights to Canadian resources, all while Canadian operations have their few advantages undermined.
To be clear, NAFTA has always been detrimental for Canada. It put Canada on a path where being a poorer supplicant state of the US was guaranteed, and this has come to pass. Despite all of Canada’s intellectual and resource wealth – it should be a top 3 country worldwide, and we certainly should eclipse that busted kleptocracy/idiocracy – we’ve fallen further and further behind.
And now the US thinks they can make it worse for us? I mean, there’s a hilarious paradox where idiocrats boast about how much richer and better off they are, while also declaring that we’ve “taken advantage” of them (largely based upon math that holds it against Canada that the US buys a lot of Albertan oil, which is all hugely ridiculous nonsense).
If the US has a lawless, unconstrained king – a fantastically stupid, vile, rapist king that steals from charities and is a self-dealing carnival barker conman – that can just randomly change trade rules day by day based upon various tantrum whims, giving an iota to that banana republic no longer makes any sense.
The absolute worst thing the government can do is try to rescue this thing. It is cooked.
Cancel USMCA. Start from scratch after the US’ coming civil war and fracture into ignorant Biblethumpistan versus the more enlightened parts. Settling on a grossly compromised deal just to pander to the “keep as much of the status quo” voices as possible isn’t reasonable. We need to cut the cord.
Bring back every manner of tax and restriction on American firms. Purge this nation of platforms like Meta that are a massive net negative on humanity, much like Howard “Epstein Island” Nutlick.
But What About Canadian Workers In The US?
NAFTA / USMCA has something called a TN visa. It is one of the ways Canada has been hollowed out.
Instead of multinational firms opening offices in Canada when they want to take advantage of an intelligent, highly educated population, they just rely upon Canadians moving to the Valley, NYC, etc, via one of the NAFTA related visas. Having a much larger peer next door makes such a centralization utterly inevitable barring restrictions, and we basically engineered our own hollowing.
So firms like Apple make billions from Canada, while doing nothing here. They even take advantage of huge numbers of Canadian workers, just not in Canada or to any benefit of Canada.
Do away with it.
How Stupid Is Howard “Epstein Island” Nutlick? Extremely.
Howard Lutnick is a garbage-tier human being. He is one of those wastes of carbon that has objectively made the planet worse via his vile, disgusting, greaseball existence.
Speaking of human garbage, it’s worth noting that the massive explosion in Flock surveillance systems isn’t to make the public safer. Instead, it is a kleptocrat funded initiative in response to the Brian Thompson situation, where a group became fearful it would become a trend. Your paedophile kleptocrat class got scared, and demanded a 1984 surveillance apparatus to ensure they can keep their future Soylent Green in check.
It’s so human waste like Nutlick can ply their disgusting, exploitative (both legal and illegal) ways without consequence.
In any case, Lutnick recently claimed that auto plants only came to Canada to evade unions.
Which is a funny claim. Canada has 3x the union participation rate of the US. We have stronger worker protections. We have stronger environmental regulations. We have longer legally required vacations and maternal/paternal leaves. We have stronger injury protections and corporate governance oversight.
Why do these foolish scumbags and rapists lie constantly, about literally everything? Are they either cosmically misinformed, or do they rely upon the American public being both incredibly stupid and misinformed? Doesn’t this embarrass Americans?
In reality automakers came to Canada because we had the Autopact. This was a system whereby the tariff on autos was a function of how many cars they make in Canada, before which negligible autos in Canada came from the US. Many automakers found an educated, healthy, reliable workforce – plants often at the top of the efficiency metrics because of those factors – and a robust market of tens of millions, and it just made sense.
After NAFTA, Canada’s auto industry grew for just a couple more years, and then it has been disappearing since. Despite the country growing its population by 50%, our industry declined 50%.
And yet that orange rapist thief constantly focuses on Canada. It’s bizarre. It’s almost like it’s more that Canada, as a functioning, first-world nation, is a threat to the rapist-powered idiocracy they want for the US.
“But…but…all the exports to America! No, you must bend!”
If you remove oil (which the US is demanding more of3), Canada imports more from the US than we export. Courtesy of an integrated economy we import loads of things that we can of course replace domestically, but we didn’t because the US was a rational, reasonable nation that had laws and checks and balances and so on. This was before Americans decided to give a pants-shitting paedophile clown another go, after his utterly disastrous last term. I mean, at least you’ll get some meaningless renaming of things that will sit like a pox on America for perpetuity.
Why subsidize the US in this manner? It’s time to bring it home.
Of course traitorous MAGA-plants4 like Danielle Smith5 will oppose this – the people of Alberta have turned against her, realizing that installed a Trump stooge just to stick it to the left was a bad idea – but she’ll be gone soon enough.
On Americans Thinking About Canada
A recurring comment I’ve seen on any discussion about Canada and the US is the claim that “America doesn’t think about Canada at all”.
It’s meant to be an insult. But it’s pretty funny because Jesus Christ you people won’t stop talking about us. Constantly. Endlessly. Everywhere. While the orange rapist fails in literally everything (lol, remember the 10% credit cards? How about how he’d eliminate the deficit and the debt, which has now passed $40T and only buying up bonds with SS money has staved off literal country-level bankruptcy, alongside getting your ass handed to you by a hermit theocratic nation, now desperately begging everyone else to clean up yet another American-made mess), the best these foolish clowns have is hoping he’ll knock better countries down a notch.
Bizarre.
I’ve also seen people use the Mad Men bit where Don Draper tells Michael Ginsberg that he “Doesn’t think about him at all”, held as some alpha comeback. The ultimate put down.
Which is actually perfectly on target as a citation, because for anyone who actually watched Mad Men, Don’s statement was ridiculous: He was incredibly insecure about Ginsberg, and actually spent almost all of his time thinking about him. His insult was pathetically defensive, and the simple fact he spoke it aloud betrayed the lie.
Bizarre how people still cite that as a put down or to demonstrate superiority. But they’re revealing even more than they intend. Constantly, desperately announcing how little you think about us, or how totally super irrelevant we are, isn’t really convincing.

You’ll notice that the US hasn’t done so…which is odd, isn’t it? All the endless complaints, but they want the benefits of the deal while also taking advantage of constant uncertainty with their criminal administration constantly demanding that Canada and Mexico dance for them. It renders the agreement a farce, and it must be cancelled.
Just like I am thankful that the disgusting greaseball Howard “Epstein Island” Nutlick apparently sabotaged a foolishly one-sided trade deal that the government almost signed under duress, I’d be thankful if they started the six months expiry on USMCA. Do it you fucking cowards. They don’t because they desperately need the agreement, but want to “change the deal” because they think they can.
America really needs to take out the fucking trash. Your country has been hijacked by idiots, grifters, paedophiles and greaseballs. ↩

It cannot be fixed. The US has shown that it is a lawless banana republic – congress is busted, and the population votes for criminal imbeciles – so for anyone looking to operate in North America, locating in the US is the only defence against trade barriers if Canada and Mexico were foolish enough to allow it. Even if Trump thankfully chokes on a burger and collapses in a heap of his own excrement in the coming days, the relationship is permanently tainted. ↩

When America’s paedophile cadre almost suckered Canadian reps into foolishly signing a deal6, Trump was boasting about bringing even more pipeline capacity from Alberta online. In other words, precisely the thing this foolish self-dealing shitball keeps complaining about! It is perverse when “centrist” Americans repeat the patter that foolish rapist says as if it has any basis in fact.
Oh you want to talk about dairy – the thing we gave concessions for, with identical restrictions going both ways – yet you have zero knowledge of softwood that the US has been imposing illegal tariffs and barriers on for decades? Maybe sit down and shut up and admit you were conned by the stupidest man on the planet. ↩

Smith is an interesting study. She is so blatantly a traitor, and she keeps declaring that the rest of Canada should compromise in any way for the orange goblin. Which is a really weird demand given that if we take the band of rapists at their words, their #1 complaint is Alberta oil. Like, literally, the entire foundation of their argument is the trade deficit, which is entirely due to the oil flow. Now it’s a laughably stupid complaint – the oil is hugely beneficial for the US – but the idea that the rest of Canada should suffer to facilitate that flow is silly clownery. ↩
-
My hope is that Carney et al. knew they would demand something untenable, and just played along to avoid looking like they were trying to be conciliatory, expected to walk away. And when you’re dealing with foolish greaseballs like Nutlick and Trump – both of whom have been insider trading on all of this – you just know it is coming.
The only tenable agreement is equal tariffs in both directions. Anything else is farce, for a failing empire ruled by clowns. ↩
