"Wow! Canada has just announced that it is backing statehood for Palestine," Trump posted on Truth Social. "That will make it very hard for us to make a Trade Deal with them. Oh' Canada!!!"

Do not cave to this narcissistic bully. Do what is right.
Fuck Trump. Elbows up.

What is right is unconditional recognition of palestine. Not ask palestinians to disarm and let occupation continue like uk, france and canada

Trump just wants his "Trump Gaza Riviera" resort, and he's not going to get it if Israel actually stops killing/displacing the people that live there.
Canada should call his bluff, and let him lose our top trade partner. If everyone had just come to a mutual agreement to call him on his shit either 1) he would have reversed and dropped this whole tarrif/trade nonsense by now OR 2) he would have absolutely cratered our economy and maybe even his base would see the light.

France doesn't have conditions for recognition.

If it's pissing off Trump you know we're on the right side of history.

We are not we are still selling weapons to isrsel, we refuse to blame israel. We want palestinians to drop their right to self defense

This is the least Canada can do, Canada’s continued weapons shipments to Israel make us directly complicit in genocide, while it’s dressed up as diplomacy.

This clown has no say on our laws. Stay in your own lane Trump.

Trump wouldn't dare slam us. We aren't 14 years old.

I don't understand Carney's timing on this. Why didn't he wait until after a deal was signed before announcing that Canada would recognize a Palestine state?

I don’t think that would stop tRump from trUmping. If anything, he’ll use that to further his lie that Canada’s a nasty country to deal with.

Remember when people refused to vote for Kamala Harris because of the war in Gaza? Did they think Trump would support Palestine?
