U.S. President Donald Trump says he is terminating all trade negotiations with Canada over an advertisement by the Ontario government that uses the late U.S. president Ronald Reagan's own words to send an anti-tariff message to American audiences. 

In a late-night post to his Truth Social platform, Trump attacked the ad, which he attributed to Canada rather than Ontario, as fraudulent and fake. 

"TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A." Trump wrote. "Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED."

So I guess CUSMA is dead?

It took ~16 years for Chile to get rid of their US installed military dictatorship when the US decided to ruin their popular social democracy and slaughter people and fuck up countless lives. And much longer to rebuild after Pinochet fell. I wouldn't be suprised if it takes at least 16 years for parts of the US to start crawling out of their current dictatorship (with or without donny). And it sure looks like it's going to be just as brutal if not more. It's just getting started and there is a very long way for them to fall. 2025 is going to look like a very tame year compared to what is coming, I suspect.

Yeah we will see 2025 as the year one elected official was not sworn in (they were elected in a bi-election), because of Trumps “big Beautiful Bill.” 2026 will be the year that elections are cancelled.

Remember there are still 2 and a bit months left for the US to collapse this year, and the government shutdown is still on!
