another TACO in the making!

This is hysterical: Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney was asked about Donald Trump demanding that Canada apologize to the United States, and his reaction was something to behold.
He laughed.
That's right. While Trump is demanding an apology from one of America's closest allies, Canada's prime minister is apparently finding the whole situation pretty amusing.
And the timing couldn't be more remarkable.
The United States and Canada are in the middle of an escalating trade dispute. Instead of resolving the disagreement, Trump is publicly demanding an apology from our northern neighbors.
Carney, meanwhile, has emphasized that Canada intends to defend its economic interests while remaining open to a negotiated agreement.
And that brings us back to Carney's reported reaction.
Sometimes a political exchange generates pages of statements, lengthy press conferences, and hours of television commentary.
Other times, a laugh is enough to become the story.
Trump has made his demand public, putting the Canadian government in the position of responding to an American president who expects an apology.
But the real issue facing both countries is much bigger than a war of words.
American and Canadian businesses depend on trade between the two countries. Workers, farmers, manufacturers, and consumers all have a stake in whether their governments can reach an agreement.
And with tensions continuing to escalate, the pressure on both leaders to find a resolution is growing.
Carney has repeatedly emphasized Canada's economic interests and its willingness to negotiate. Trump, meanwhile, has continued to make public demands of the Canadian government.
It's an extraordinary moment in the relationship between two longtime allies.
And Carney's reported laughter has added another memorable chapter to an increasingly public disagreement.

Prime Minister Mark Carney's chances of being Time magazine's 2026 Person of the Year got a huge boost thanks to his firm stance during trade talks with U.S. President Donald Trump and his push to strengthen ties with the European Union, according to Covers.com.

At the same time Donald Trump's approval numbers are hitting lows never seen before, Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney is enjoying a burst of popularity that's letting him push his agenda through with little resistance.

The reason? His refusal to be bullied by the American president has Canadians and political rivals lining up behind him as his party adds new members.

Sorry, felons aren't usually admissible to Canada.   

Carney is the right guy at the right time. Compare his resume to Trumps.

Prime Minister of Canada (since March 2025); Leader of the Liberal Party.
Governor of the Bank of England (2013–2020) — first non-British governor.
Governor of the Bank of Canada (2008–2013) — led Canada through the 2008–09 financial crisis.

So true!
 Trump is a convicted felon!  If Trump goes to Canada, will Carney ‘lock him up’!  There will be be legal precedence to do this and lawyers advertise this on Buffalo New York radio constantly. Since Trump is the “law and order” party, this should be done!

What’s Trump?  264 out if 266 at Wharton with someone doing his homework!  Doesn’t understand tariffs and communism to boot!

Please add on to this!!

Trump did enter Canada when we hosted the G7. It's believed Trump used a diplomatic passport to avoid the embarrassment of his personal passport being rejected.

Re. Wharton:
https://news.meaww.com/fact-check-did-trump-graduate-first-at-wharton-despite-not-making-the-deans-list

In 2017, Penn’s student newspaper, The Daily Pennsylvanian, reported that 366 students graduated from Wharton in 1968 and that Trump was not among the 56 students on the Dean’s List.

The list represented about the top 15% of the graduating class. Trump’s absence from the list suggests that he did not rank among the top students, but it does not establish his exact class position.
