    1. “Purple Jesus”.. And you know she knows the cameras are clicking, so this is her “Attitude Gear”.. But Quiver Donald, cause this is the “2015 Team”… We are fucked, and Turdlala thinks he still has a chance..Duh!

      1. Check it out… she’s wearing the colour of George Soros revolution… just a coincidence I’m sure:)

      2. I thought “Purple Jesus” was taken by Uber Twitter King Nenshi?

    6. THE COLOR PURPLE:
      is the color of the anti-bullying movement in LGBTQ communities. It is one of the colors in the suffragette flag. It is the color of penitence

    1. She’ll never look good. But she didn’t have to wear such an ugly costume. Is this PM Dressup’s influence?

  3. Donawld Blumpf needs to understand that diversity and gender issues are key to making a deal with Canada on this going forward.

    1. Bwwwaaaaahahahahahahahahabahahaha…. Who in their RIGHT MIND gives a gnat’s testicle whether they get a deal with the likes of Canada? What, you gonna throw your weight around? Like what? Send the 24th LGBTQWERTY Infantry Battalion to shake ’em up? Since BBY went nuts-up, what exactly has Canada achieved that makes deals with Turdeau so compelling? Fact is, Canada, Uncle Sam owns you. You get to exist because Uncle Sam says you do. It is that simple. When a man-child like Juthtin Turdeau LaDoo and his toadies’ circus of fairies and prune-mouths jumps up and down talking ish about Uncle Sam outside the bar, the rest of us in the real world grab popcorn and beer, and get ready for the inevitible bone-crunching ground-and-pound…

  4. Still lightyears ahead of whoever thought steel and aluminum tariffa were a good idea.

    1. Those tariffs are part of the bargaining process. And Chinese steel and aluminum being branded as Mexican or Canadian is a real problem.

        1. allen stupid, Trump is using “trade” to effect the process with the Norks. That trade is with China, and the steel and aluminum that is being funneled through kanada and messico is part of Trumps leverage over china. He stops tis flow and has china by the pussy. Get you stupid libby fool. You remind me of the diaper wetting lefties of the Ragan years, who then didn’t know what to say once Ragan achieved his goal. You should learn to STFU and listen to those who are smarter than you, and that would be most in here!

      3. And if every single tonne of steel that Canada imported from China was somehow slipped into the US under NAFTA, it would amount to less than one percent of US consumption and less than half of what the US imports from Russia. Can anyone parroting the Trump line actually show documentation of this “real problem”?
        Just because the Spawn’s team are a joke and embarrassment, doesn’t make the loose cannon populist and protectionist on the side of Angels. If Trump wants to get us on a real problem take on supply management so that at least all but 13000 Canadians will benefit.

        1. Chittick, if you think that Dairy and Poultry Marketing boards are good for Canadian consumers, please take a one way ticket to Valenzuela

          2. Yes, troll, understand why Freeland and her team of Barneys are failing. Marketing boards are a cancer on this country, troll.

        2. I have several clients here in central Alberta who import container-load after containerload of steel and aluminum from China at jaw droppingly low prices – fabricate it sometimes with very little labour inputs (the product is extruded aluminum) and then ship 80+% of that product to the US as Canadian-made.

          This happens a lot. That it isn’t documented is because there are no authorities in Canada with an interest in documenting it.

          1. As long as it passes the “substantially transformed” criteria it is now a manufactured product of Canada. Trumps tariffs wont change that.

            The majority of steel is produced in Ontario. The majority of aluminum is produced in Quebec. It would take one hell of a route to fool CBP. Raw steel and aluminum need mill certs to cross the border. CBP also knows what mills produce what. A tariff number outside the norm with a fabricated mill cert crossing into Washington state would instantly set off alarm bells.

            The shipment would be seized and there would also be severe issues for the importer.

        3. So. Canada’s steel exports amount to NOTHING in the big scheme of things. So why does PM Sockeye care? Who cares? Trump is placing tariffs on a nothingburger. Kool! Then the Adams Family of Canadian negotiators can all go home. Buh bye!

        4. https://www.google.com/url?sa=t&rct=j&q=&esrc=s&source=web&cd=1&cad=rja&uact=8&ved=0ahUKEwinjNKu07vbAhVk4oMKHb89DqIQFggnMAA&url=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.trade.gov%2Fsteel%2Fcountries%2Fpdfs%2Fimports-us.pdf&usg=AOvVaw03BvNOw8oW0bMcwZktTQs4

          Imports by Top Source: The top 10 source countries for U.S. steel imports represented 77 percent of the total steel import volume in 2017 at 26.8 million metrics tons (mmt). Canada accounted for the largest share of U.S. imports by source country at 17 percent (5.8 mmt), followed by Brazil at 14 percent (4.7 mmt), South Korea at 10 percent (3.4 mmt), Mexico at 9 percent (3.2 mmt), and Russia at 8 percent (2.9 mmt). While the rankings of the top 10 source countries for U.S. imports has fluctuated over time, Canada has retained the top spot.

          From similar sources:

          Canada’s crude steel production averaged 12.5 million metric tons between 2009 and 2017
          The gap between demand and production narrowed significantly in 2015, to 1.6 million metric tons where it remained in 2016. In 2017, this gap expanded slightly to 2.1 million metric tons.
          In 2017, Canada imported 8.7 million metric tons of steel
          In 2017, Canada exported 6.7 million metric tons of steel, (different souce and above the number was 6.8)

          Looks like after covering our production shortfall the rest of the Imported Went to Exported and the US is the main recipient of that passed through steel.

          1. 55% of Canada’s steel imports come from the US. Canada’s total imports from China amount to 0.8mmt. Chinese steel is supposedly the big problem.

          2. Reply to J. Chittick: checked your numbers, 55% and 0.8mmt, and agree these are verified. Makes me think that the US position is in fact a negotiation tactic unless there is more to the story that is simply buried in the details.

        5. You do realize that not a single steel producer in Canada is Canadian owned anymore, right? So who is skirting NAFTA?

        6. Not that I recognize you as being stupid, but ” If Trump wants to get us on a real problem take on supply management” is exactly what’s going on. He’s explicitly tweeted about opening up our $50 billion dairy industry. Anyone who’s ever been in a tough negotiation realizes exactly what Trump is doing. Trump’s “BATNA” – Best Alternative To a Negotiated Agreement – is to walk away from any deal, because he knows Canada needs the US more than the US needs Canada.

          If Trudeau had any brains (hahahahahaha), he’d at least try to combine Canada’s movement on dairy with a US move on softwood lumber. He’d be doing a tweet storm to the US media, noting how much the softwood tariffs are costing each American who buys a new home, so that he could get some traction domestically with Americans. And, he would open up the dairy market, but with STRICT LABELING LAWS, so that all milk from cows treated with hormones would have to be labelled as such. Since almost all milk in the US is produced with bST, Canadians would then have a choice between cheaper, hormone-treated milk, or more expensive, natural milk. Given the knee-jerk aversion to ‘hormones’ by Canadian consumers, this would lessen the blow to Canada’s dairy farmers, and allow them to transition to a competitive economy, just as New Zealand did.

    3. So you like the two pigs fighting under a purple blanket thing? Get stuffed troll!

      She should be embarrassed by her tramp gear, and her junior high assistants.

    4. As if you would have a bloody clue. Frankly, I’m kind of enjoying Quebec being put on the spot. It’s about bloody time.

    1. She is. Along with every other piece of filth who entered Canada as a bogus refugee claimant, like her Nazi grandfather who by rights should have died in a Russian prison.

      That Chrystia was ever born is an insult to every Canadian patriot who died fighting Hitler.

  6. That was an accurate statement; that team is the absolute best that Canada can muster. That is Canada’s A team. That is the pinnacle that Canadian society is capable of producing.

    Ponder that, while you enjoy the decline.

    Trump could recruit random people in persistent vegetative states, and they would beat that team. If you put a dog turd, into a paper bag, lit that bag on fire, put it on the front step at 24 Sussex, ring the bell, and run away, you would be ahead of that team.

    1. I bet she likes having “Her Boys” around, sequentially, at night. Catherine the Great without the Greatness.

      1. Robert of Ottawa…I doubt it…
        As for Catherine the Great…those youngsters just closed their eyes and thought of Mother Russia.

        1. … with reference to the advice Queen Victoria gave her daughters for their wedding night!

    2. It’s “the pinnacle that Canadian society is capable of producing”. Only under the current government. The previous government went for competence rather than all sorts of diversity.

  7. Always remember; everyone who voted for Trudeau, is dumber than Trudeau. And that is the majority. There is no cure for stupid.

  8. Trump’s team of Trade Assassins meets Trudeau’s very pretty and photogenic LGBTQDFFFFF quarry.

    Commerce Secretary Wilbur Ross
    The Wall Street guru made his fortune as a vulture investor acquiring and modernizing troubled corporations before reselling them. He’s dubbed by Trump as one of the world’s greatest negotiators. He sees Nafta talks finishing by early 2018.

    Trade Representative Robert Lighthizer
    Once the deputy trade representative in the Reagan White House, he’s also spent decades as a trade lawyer representing clients including steelmakers. As USTR, Lighthizer is by law the president’s principal adviser on trade policy and the country’s main representative during trade negotiations. Three monthis into the job, he’s steering the USTR office in a more protectionist direction.

    Assistant USTR for Western Hemisphere John Melle
    With almost three decades of experience at the USTR office, Melle has spent the last six years overseeing U.S. trade initiatives in the Americas. Lighthizer has delegated day-to-day oversight of the talks to Melle, who will serve as chief negotiator getting down in the nitty gritty details.

    1. But, but, but … there can be NO free trade … until we FREE the transgenders and the terfs. The Canadian SJW-A team will see to that!

    2. Sorry, but none of the Canadian Negotiating Team even look experienced enough to be a coffee bearer for the team of Ross, Lighthizer, and Melle. Remember how Candidate Trump said he was going to hire “Killers?” These guys are killers. They will gut you, skin you, and leave you with a smile on your face when you sign on the dotted line.

      I bet that Ross and Lighthizer have more individual experience than the cumulative experience of the Canadian team. I don’t know who the Obama team would have been, but based on the fact that President Obama had young Ben Rhodes as a senior National Security Advisor, some of them might not even be as experienced as your current Canadian team.

      1. I heard all Trump’s speeches during his campaign and I do recall that he said that he knew the best negotiators and if he won the Presidency he would hire them to help MAGA. The audience loved it! This was electrifying! We ‘d never seen a campaign like this one! Kiddingly, I even thought I was American.

        So, my point is, is that the Canadian team should’ve listened and learned rather than talked about our issues. Usually both sides of these talks go into what each side wants and then little by little they meet in the middle. Each side gains but loses too. A good deal is when nobody is completely happy. I surmised that things weren’t going well because there were way too many meetings.

        Under Trump and Trudeau the score is 0 for Canada.

        1. It appears Trump destabilizes the partner/opponent first with much and varied rhetoric, offering many possibilities and views, looking for weak spots. This is done in an agressive/assertive manner “Punch China on the nose”.

          It’s like a boxing match; Trump is the Cassius Clay of diplomacy 🙂

          1. Robert of Ottawa:
            One must be very observant of body language as well as the total package one brings to the table. If the Canadian team were doing eye rolls and checking their phones they could’ve possibly have turned the Americans off.
            We’ll never know because we weren’t there.

            I like your Cassius Clay/ Mohammed Ali analysis…Canada should have sent a Dr Ruth Westheimer the sex therapist type of person to negotiate for us instead of the Eh Team.
            P.S. see my other reply to you @ 10:23 am

  9. This looks like a promo shot for a CBC original about a bunch of bad-ass white collar Canadians.

    It isn’t though…

    … is it?

  10. Sadly, and we know this to be true, there is a very good chance, no matter how badly sideways this deal goes, that the stupid and vacuous will reelect Trudeau to another term, and ignore the deficits, debt, exodus of talent, investment, and jobs. They still bitterly cling to their virtue signalling and rejoice in not having Harper any longer that they cannot help but imperil the rest of us. Canada is done. There will be no coming back from this. We’re divided more than any other point in our history. British/French? Bah, pikers. East/West? Nothing but a snow fight. But intelligence versus the voting for more free stuff mob? That will sink the ship faster than an iceberg and bad rivets.

    1. Things were pretty polarized under Satan himself (pet). Looks like junior likes the same amount of hate emanating from western Canada as his asshole of a father.

      We will survive him, but it’s the Greentards that we should be most concerned about. They are the true enemy, true fascists. But yes, this group of virtue Signalling liberals is running neck and neck with the greentards

      1. Take a look at this group of nobodies, do they look like they could successfully negotiate a lease on a lemonade stand from a couple of girl scouts? This bunch couldn t negotiate their way into a Brothel with an arm load of hundred dollar bills!

  11. They think they’re going to win at the NAFTA poker table. They should remember what Al Capone said: “A Smith & Wesson beats 4 aces.”

    “The most elite Canadian negotiating team ever assembled for NAFTA.” What a bunch of rubes!

  12. Maybe the pm is destroying the oil industry in an attempt to recruit some talent?

    1. No, don’t say that…..even after a six pack, after 2am, not tapping that! She at least a 3 bagger.

  14. I don’t know which has more humour and hypocrisy – the total avoidance of any reference to Canada’s 240 percent tariff on US dairy products by our press and federal politicians (yes, including Conservatives), or the spectacle of these Liberal hypocrites pissing their panties and wringing their hands over the possible demise of a trade deal their Party has historically reviled.

  15. Does Ms. Freeland actually have any Canadian bona fides, other than that her American parents bought her a condo in Toronto, and that she is the MP for Bob Rae’s old riding.

    Oh, there’s that name again — Bob Rae; what’s with that picture, exactly, with Andrea Horwath from the 1990s.

    If you love Ontario, vote for Doug Ford!

    1. Again—she is the granddaughter of a Nazi who should never have been admitted to Canada in the first place. Her Canadian citizenship is fraudulent. It should be revoked and Chrystia deported to Russia.

  18. Who in hell are those kids with her, and what if any experience in the world of business do they have, or was all their experience theoretical, in the classroom, taught by socialist/marxist professors?

    Talk about the “wet behind the ears” bunch.

  19. Oh look, the Purple Barney brigade, and her “dress” looks to be two sizes too small for her lol.

    1. Most of her outfits are, to say the least, snug. Noticed this way back; not impressed. Have seen more modest on a “Third Avenue special”.

    2. Much too tight, and too short, as well. I can guarantee that when she sits down, the dress rides way up, exposing her underwear. I know that the Dress for Success rules went out of the window a long time ago but this is nowhere near professional attire.

  22. My flag will have a guillotine on it,I am done funding the useless and clueless,such as photographed above.
    The kleptocracy of Canada is done.
    Unreformable.
    It is collapsing at good speed.
    Best part is watching our effeet elites going..”Wa…ah?”

  24. Christian Freeland ‘s background does not qualify her to be negotiating / destroying NAFTA. ( degrees in history, literature and Slavonic Studies) She had worked in journalism, and has a political life of 5 years. Sounds lovely, Harvard and Oxford etc.

    A degree in business or law might be what is required to even understand what the issues are. Perhaps it would have been beneficial to learn what her colleagues’ qualifications are. Nevertheless, if you’ll pardon my prejudices, they look fairly young. Donald Trump must be laughing, and he probably would’ve preferred to speak with all of their parents.

    As long as there’s comments on wardrobe, take me along as you slide on down: (oh how I love a good gossip) Though I do not create for Vogue magazine and last time I checked ( let’s have a look here, yes) I am still a woman, that ugly purple ” shmatta that that shiksa is schlepping ” really sucks. The youth gang that she’s with have better taste. They could’ve made a commercial for Ralph Lauren the day this photo was taken.

    1. Yes. See my comment above.

      Lighthizer, Melle, and Ross will gut these people, skin them, and leave them smiling when they sign on the dotted line.

      1. rd : someone told me that early on in these negotiations or talks if you will, Lighthizer couldn’t tolerate Freeland and after awhile wouldn’t meet with her and sent someone in his place. True or not I ‘m not sure.

  25. Wearing the Royal Purple, trailed by her “courtiers”, looking in the mirror, she sees Wonder Woman…

    Since, she files her reports to Canada’s Peter Pan. It’s a Marvel in D.C. crisis in the making.

  27. Numb nuts and the Dweeb Doodlers is the first thing comes to mind when looking at that picture.

    Also

    Couldn’t find their behind with both hands and a road map

  30. Sometimes less leg showing leaves more for one’s imagination. Nothing positive left to imagine here.

    1. I saw the picture, and wondered: “Do none of these women own a pair of stockings? Or even spray tan?”

      (Yeah feminist grrrrls, I said that one for you. Because you know its true.)

  31. Your move Mr. Trump.
    “Checkmate”
    Freeland “There’s no checkmate in checkers”

  32. Hey, it could have been worse. Rainbow Pony could have sent Climate Barbie along, though I’m sure the American negotiators would have had enough to laugh at with that bunch shown in the picture.

    1. If I may, IMHO I think the Goddess of Weather, as you’ve called her, would’ve been better qualified than Freeland. She is a lawyer and Freeland is not. I could be wrong, character and stamina is everything….something about those Peace River Alberta women…

  33. Take your kids to work day…
    I am not sure whether to laugh or cry
    Please have Mercy on us Neighbours for we know not what we do!!!

      1. I do not hear ” eh ” spoken all that much. Occasionally when happy people say, Nice day eh? Cuz it’s always freaking cold here. However, Obama and Hillary always misused the articles. Example:
        “Eh” clean car…instead of
        “Uh” clean car…

        Here we say the latter. Maybe it was a Chicago thing though.

        1. Many years ago, shortly after I began grad studies, I went out with a young lady who ended just about every sentence with “eh?”. It drove me nuts.

          As it turned out, she eventually married someone else. Considering how irritating that verbal mannerism of hers was, better him than me.

  35. I think Trudeau and his government doesn’t take Trump seriously.

    I like to say that those who don’t take their opponent seriously will be taken…. seriously.

    Canada can bend over and kiss its NAFTA reliant economy good bye. NAFTA is deader than Jean Chretien could ever make it.

  37. The new Canadian Avengers teamed up with the new Canadian X-people…
    Starring Christia aka the stormy purple eggplant woman storm thing…and her X boy toy clones or her executive super advisors….plus the dark horse chick with the bad ‘tude, dude. Oh, and the brown guy….
    Note the middle finger on meaningless briefing note maneuver…slick chick. Where is super Justin when you need a dose of bad DC comic behaviour (DC…punny, eh?)

    1. I’m not the world’s most passionate guy, but when she squeezed me tight, she nearly broke my spine…

      I think the bad tude chick’s name is Lola…

  38. Freeland is maybe 5′ tall. She has a horrid sense when it comes to fashion. She doesn’t have much to work with but has anyone explained what a power suit is to her?
    Last time around Canada had Simon Reisman as chief negotiator. He got a pretty good agreement for the country.
    Don’t see a repeat of that with this bunch.

    1. Somebody needs to teach “Dumpy” how to dress for success. How can anyone take that appearance seriously?

    2. I think whoever did moochelle’s warddrobe has been hired by hair lisp for his Indian trip and Freeland here.

  39. Adios NAFTA. Damn it feels good to be a ganstah! Good luck trading with the USA on an EQUAL footing. I can hear a GIANT SUCKING SOUND … of all those lost manufacturing jobs coming back to America. Eat shit Globalist corporate elites.

    1. You are absolutely right we are done, Kenji!

      Both are closer to the end, there were 172 comments, last I looked!
      Peace Out! Smiles!

  40. Did someone Photoshop her neck into oblivion? As well, she needs a Hillary pant suit. My eyes are bleeding….

  41. You have to wonder if they’re expecting to walk away from these talks with a few brown paper bags full of money. You know…like all other Liberal negotiations go down.

    Considering who canada is sending, they all get an A+ from me if they come back wearing pants. 🙂 (especially the purple monster)

    One can always hope that they cede Saskatchewan and Alberta to the USA in negotiations.

  42. The gal in purple displays an extreme lack of self-awareness with the short sheath shrouding the fire plug torso. She appears to be someone who would use bullying as a key bargaining tool. That only works with some kind of leverage on her side and a degree of fear on the other. In my experience, bullying negotiators are one-note charlies. Suspect those south of the 49th will walk away. It’s all remarkably cringe worthy.

    2. “Suspect those south of the 49th will walk away. ” Yes it is likely that “Most favored Nation” status has gone.Canada is selling it’s Access to the USA market to all comers.

      A comparison Analogy would be a Friend who asked you to get Super Bowel / Stanley Cup tickets for them, you did and then found they had sold them on EBAY…… disgraceful conduct

  43. It’s not Chrystia Freeland’s fault if she’s short. it is however the USA’s fault if the country has an idiot for a President. Last night, Pete Coors, director of MillerCoors breweries, highlighted the inevitable rise of beer prices because of Trump’s tariffs on aluminum. . Keeping in mind that Pete Coors is (or was??) a Republican and ran a huge fundraiser for Trump during his campaign.

    Loyalties often change suddenly in politics. Guys like Trump eat their own at the drop of a hat.

    https://www.cnn.com/videos/cnnmoney/2018/05/31/tariffs-could-increase-beer-price-coors-nobles-dnt-lead.cnn/video/playlists/trump-and-trade/

    1. Is that because the can is worth more than the Coors beer inside it?
      IMO, The can is definitely more valuable than Coors.

      The cost of the can will skyrocket from 4 cents to what? 5 cents? 6 cents?
      A quarter a case?

      How ridiculous are the taxes Pete?
      Cut those. Save your customers a few dollars a case.

      1. That stuff made by Coors is beer? Surely you jest! (I brew my own, so what do I know?)

    3. hey Murcky, you don’t understand business, and sure as hell ain’t no math expert. Ever hear of recycling, that and home grown aluminum, then throw in imported, directly from China, @ kanukistan prices and boom, NO can shortage OR increased cost. Funny how business people can find solutions to problems. That happens a lot. Maybe P Coors is just looking too increase profits!!!!

    Game,set, match.

    Seriously, if Canada had elected competent representation it would be immediately recognized that NAFTA is not “free” trade, nor is it fair, and Canada could actually enjoy gains through renegotiation to include surplus reduction with U.S. and larger deficit reduction with Mexico soon followed by China if you play your cards right.

    If you don’t think Mexico is going to pay for the wall, think again. And if these twits are at the table… Canada’s paying for it too.

    1. Obviously that picture was posed, sunglasses and all. It makes me wonder if whoever came up with that watched too many schlocky TV shows.

  47. So where are the seasoned corporate executives in high powered business suits? Oh I forgot. They’re on the Trump team.

    1. Steve Verheul is Canada’s chief negotiator, as far as I understand, and David Usher is there as well so there are at least two adults in the room. Whether they actually have any say with the clowns running the show I don’t know.

  48. Freeland strutting her stuff, she won’t wiggle out of anything with that dress. It’s a wonder it doesn’t ride up her rear

  49. And now, compare the lady that has brains, power and style just walking.

    The mass media cartel still wont talk nice.
    Did she serve a republican president or something?
