Pete Hoekstra is doing a great job as Ambassador. He is telling Canadians the irritants USA has.Meanwhile what is the Canadian Ambassador to the USA doing? Seems to be hiding and collecting a paycheque with no work. The last Canadian ambassador Hillman was a total disgrace and Trudeau lackey.
Individuals like Pete Huckster understand only one thing; if you do not stand up to their vicious and vapid bullying, they will only continue with that behaviour, nay, they increase it. There is only one way to deal with him: stick his nose in his own feces, then kick him to the curb. You can’t play nice with sociopathic behaviours. The current American administration is one large sociopath. Better to cut out the cancer before it metastisizes.
Hey guys, don’t forget about my Epstein Files 🙂
This new release has me fondling a 7 year old
Carney is the one ruining Canada so we can be sold off for parts.
Canada would logically be better as the 51st state. You can’t expell someone for telling the truth.
Carney cucks to Trump
maybe it’s time for Americans to revisit changing their constitution to allow states to leave the United States. We have the ability to add new provinces…maybe current Americans would like Universal health care without the need to go bankrupt.
Pete should have been sent packing months ago.
Carney won’t expel Pea-brain Pete because his replacement will be worse.
Pierre Poilievre would probably be even more of a wimp and Canada would already be part of the United States if he was Prime Minister.
All the traitors in the comments need to be strung up
Looking forward to going on my phone and seeing that the orange pdf file has finally shuffled off the mortal coil.
@Beverley. Great deflection on the failed approach by Carney so far with the Trump Adminstation
There is no way the CCP is going surrender its North American Province to Trump to become the 51st State.
Carney is no longer Elbows Up. He wants to Make America Great Again so now he is bootlicking Trump as he needs the USA.
Trump loves trolling the left
Their emotional instability makes it easy to do
Carney the Coward has spoken! He wont fight back, at all. Its beneath the great and wise Carnster to engage with someone threatening this country. Its beneath folks these days to show guts and courage and stand up for what’s right! SICKENING! A media sl*ts lead the charge!
Who are the red meat voters? Carney ended people affording red meat. In fact MC says nothing, just promises.
Oh wow. Global is letting on all kinds of freaks from the UASS of A. Yeah your country is going gangbusters uh-huh! You have a el presedentia and his dementia running the sh*tship, what could go wrong?
You want to invade Canada? Bring lots of body bags. F*ck you.
Has Poillievre EVER said anything important? It’s all rage bait for his red-meat voters.
If Canada would become the 51st state they would be the California North and we all know how that’s going.
Canada is in a recession, the USA is not. So logically Canada would be better off as the 51st state. Why are people upset about facts?
Canadians are so soft and now get offended and outraged by everything. It must be a lingering problem that was intensified under the Trudeau regime.
death to maga
The USA government is a bunch of immature billionaire frat boys basically they’re assholes
I think Hoekstra is doing an amazing job as US ambassador
anonymous you and idiot
Carney, after all his Elbows Up rhetoric, now wants to Make America Great Again as Canada is the ONLY G20 economy to slide into a recession. Quite a failure.
Russkie trolls love that Carney is at 67%.
How’s Putin doing? Still need lots of body doubles?
Poor dementia riddled trump.
PLEASE MAKE CANADA INTO THE 51ST STATE!!! AND THEN BRING IN ICE!! DO SOME HOUSE CLEANING!!
51st State? Put it on a bumper sticker and drive around up here…. FAFO
I find Carney so embarrassing as the PM of Canada. His constant flip flops and that silly “Elbows Up” act is so childish and his pride day pronou penchant is very concerning.
Who cares? trump is down to 33% in his country.
More and more people know he is mentally ill.
Like me.
Russians back here. Cowards that won’t enlist for Ukraine…lol
North America is a cesspool, all caused by the left.
Get rid of this guy in Canada. He is not honorable.
Please take us as your 51st state Alberta is willing to be a proud and strong 51st state
Ambassador lol
Diplomat lmao
More like another useless Trump parrot like the rest of his administration
Who Cares ?
I’m eating like a King,because I am one ,Brookfields doing great and I just suckered half a nation into giving me a majority simply by spouting out some dumb catch phrase.Something about Elbows I think it was.
Thanks Suckers ..Life is great when you’re as rich as me !!!
I would rather Alberta join the USA then stay in Canada. The choice is obvious.
The difference between Trump and Careny are so stark:
Trump: strong, determined US President
Carney: Weak, flip flopping, spineless, cowardly leadership.
Good to see you happy Jay V .Usually you are foaming at the mouth after guzzling back the Liberal Kool Aid all day.
I guess with your gender reassignment all set to go with a welfare cheque and a fist full of safe supply,you have finally found the Liberal Shangri La all leftists long to reach.
Congrats !!!
As an American, I love that Trump is putting the boots to Canada. Canada for a very long time, took advantage, freeloded, and didn’t pull its weight.
You media folks need to stop giving Hoekstra so much coverage. He’s just an ambassador, responsible for greeting dignitaries, holding state banquets, etc. He’s not a policy maker. Let him mouth off all he wants, just ignore him.

It’s unfortunate that such a beautiful country is under the control of the wrong people”
not really, it’s more unfortunate asscracks like you live in our beautiful country, if your even Canadian, prob just another MAGGOT TURD
@konrad. Yes I do think PP could have done better, and certainly not worse. PP would have not wasted a year on this failed “Elbows Up” approach.
Carney is a genius in fact his entire party is full of amazing people. Life is so great with my Elbows up and voting liberal since 2015. Soon I will get my tax payer funded gender reasignment and that will be followed by a few years on government safe supply drugs until I am so happy I apply and get MAID. Every day is a gift with my Elbows up and head in the sand. Oh and Trump is the devil he is the only reason Canada has EVER had issues.
What a pussy, Marc Carney is.
just another yankee a hole
Carney is a coward, he is doing a great job of destroying Canada where trudeau left off
The paid MAGA mouth pieces are out in full force here.
I dare the MAGA brigade to say that in Canada. If the US can ban Canadians for making anti US comments, we can do the same to Hokey and Trump. Oh and Poilievre, resign and spare us your attempts at relevance.
So many trolls…lol…
like flies to zhit
To all of you who hate Carney so much, tell me, what would your beloved Poilievre do that would be better? All he ever does is complain about Carney, but he never offers any solutions of his own.
99% of every other Canadian would send him back in a box, but our politically correct Prime minister chooses to take the high road! Meh..
Good ol gutless Carney. Running scared of the fat f*ck as usual. GROW A PAIR AND BOOT HOEKSTRA THE JOKESTRA THE HELL OUT OF MY COUNTRY!
Poor Canadians they got offended about everything. Lol
Carney as a dumb man, hope Trump takes advantage of that
Should kick the guy out after there’s a trade deal.
Carney is a smart man. I am sure when he makes a deal it will be good for canada
The only “rupture” in Canada is Carney and his credibility. A total joke really. Not impressed with his performance so far.
Trump is trolling Canada to destabilize negotiations, and we fall for it every time – hook, line, and sinker. It’s standard art of the deal practice. Ignore it. The last thing a Republican would want is a 51st state of left-leaning Canadians.
The American ambassador to Canada either has is head so far up Trump’s ass or the is just plain stupid. Diplomats try to find common ground not amplify dumb comments from the his President. Since it’s not in his skill set let’s just ask to leave. He is not helping the relationship.
Carney went from Elbows Up to Sucking Up. Hilarious. Trump totally dominating Carney
We don’t expulse diplomats for their shi**y takes….. But we sure as f*** shouldn’t be entertaining their disrespect.
Do’em like we on Tinder. Swipe left and ignore.
Carney now wants to Make America Great Again as Canada slides into a recession. I thought Carney said Canada doesn’t need the USA and we are our best customer.
The average Canadian is poorer than the average US citizen. Also Canada is in a recession and things are going to get a lot worse if Canada doesn’t start negotiating in good faith over CUSMA. So Trump says joining the USA would be a good thing for Canada. While a lot of Canadians that like waving little Canadian flags are upset, Trump is just stating the obvious.
Carney wants to cross the floor to the USA & deflect from Canada so he can sell us out to Trump for a loonie and we will be known as the 51st state, elbows up pants down.
Grow some pucks and throw hackstra out! Oh wait, years of liberal crosswalk painting leadership that all the twits keep voting for has left this country in a position of weakness? Who’d of thought.
I hope BC and Alberta can be one state with the capital in Edmonton, so at least we can have some level headed decisions finally
Leave us alone for God’s sake. I am not here to judge, and I am not here to view details at the moment. I am not here to explain and I am not here to have someone to take over like ruling over Canada. It is not going to happen. Hey, Trump! Leave me alone, leave Canada alone stop with your comment online. I am not here to see your face on social media I am here to say Canada is turning into upside down in already and letting Canadians are angry about it. I am here to stand for my Uncle Ian and for my Grandfather! Leave the 51st State out of Canada stop calling us Snowbirds I refuse that.
I am truly getting a headache will all this back and forth from carney. Are we or are we not dealing with US. First we were friends, then enemies, then friends again, then we kissed their boots, then we hated each other again, now we are back to kissing and making up. Carney has no spine
Canada has to react to something… The usual response is to expel the ambassador. Trump has never apologized for his statement, or to calling our prime minister a governor. Carnival Carney was elected on the promise that he knew how to deal with Trump. As yet he has not done anything. Time to step up to the plate and call the toddler out. – saying boys will be boys is never the answer to a bully.
Trump and his administration can lick the crack of my a**
Oh all the libbies clutching their pearls. How long are you going to milk the Trump cow?
Get your azz in the house of commons
Carney, and answer some questions!!
It’s unfortunate that such a beautiful country is under the control of the wrong people
Carney says: It’s an administration that we have to work with,” he added. “It’s our biggest trading relationship, our biggest security relationship, many other relationships, and we work with that administration. We take the administration as it is.” but it wasn’t long ago that we were no longer going to deal with the US. He needs to make up his mind.
What happened to Elbows Up Carney. Now Bootlicking Carney
He’s a threat he pushed the 10Xvote system which has logged voters in alberta is a breech. Also the Netherlands kicked the bum out because he did such a bad job maybe we should follow suit.
Throw the bum out.
Very sad being a Canadian with current relationship with USA. Still think trade issues from LGBTQ. We need this solved.

Prime Minister Mark Carney on Tuesday said Ottawa will not expel the U.S. ambassador to Canada for amplifying U.S. President Donald Trump’s latest reference to Canada as the “51st state.”
Trump made the comment on his Truth Social account on Monday while sharing a news article about Canada falling into a technical recession, based on the latest GDP data from Statistics Canada.
U.S. Ambassador Pete Hoekstra on Tuesday shared a screenshot of Trump’s post on his official X account.
When asked by reporters at a press conference in Longueuil, Que., if his government can still work with Hoekstra or if it is time for Canada to ask him to leave, Carney replied, “The short answer is no, to the second part of your question.”
“It’s an administration that we have to work with,” he added. “It’s our biggest trading relationship, our biggest security relationship, many other relationships, and we work with that administration. We take the administration as it is.”
A U.S. Embassy spokesperson told Global News in an email that amplifying Trump’s Truth Social posts “is our usual practice.”
Earlier Tuesday, Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre told reporters that Trump’s comment was “ridiculous, and it’s never going to happen.”
“We have to make sure that we don’t allow ridiculous comments like that to distract us from the very real suffering that Canadians are experiencing as a result of Liberal policies here at home, the families who can’t afford food, the one in four Canadians who are living in food insecurity,” he said.
“They don’t want us to be distracted by a foolish comment like that, they want us to focus on reversing the Liberal policies that have made them hungry in the first place.”
Hoekstra has previously dismissed concerns about Trump’s “51st state” rhetoric, which many Canadians have taken as a threat to the country’s sovereignty and reacted to with anger.
The ambassador has repeatedly said he doesn’t understand why Canadians are upset about those comments, urging them to instead focus on ways the two countries work well together and can improve the relationship.
A House of Commons petition urging Ottawa to consider expelling Hoekstra from Canada for actions and statements that “have been inconsistent with the standards of conduct expected of a diplomatic representative to Canada” has garnered 14,600 signatures since its introduction in February.
Hoekstra’s post came as Canada-U.S. Trade Minister Dominic LeBlanc was travelling to Washington on Tuesday to meet with U.S. Trade Representative Jamieson Greer.
Ahead of those talks, LeBlanc penned a letter to his counterparts in the U.S. and Mexico urging a renewal of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement on free trade (CUSMA) for another 16 years.
The three countries are undertaking a scheduled review of CUSMA leading up to a July 1 deadline to decide whether to renew or renegotiate the trade pact.
Carney on Tuesday pointed to LeBlanc’s trip to Washington, where he will be joined by Canada’s chief U.S. trade negotiator Janice Charette, as evidence of the ongoing work between Ottawa and the Trump administration on the bilateral trade relationship.
Asked if Trump’s “51st state” remark would impact those trade negotiations, Carney noted Trump is “an exceptionally active user of social media” and that his posting activity has “only gone up in recent months.”
“We’re not going to respond or react to everything,” he said.
