Jasmin Laine interviews Pete Hoekstra. The elbows up crowd are incapable of listening to what he has to say. Hopefully you’re different.
About 21 minutes in, Hoekstra politely explains that Canada is not special. Canadians may think they’re more important than everyone else in the world, but they’re merely one nation of many that the Trump Administration are now negotiating with.
IMO most Canadians have severe TDS. This a result of the anti-Trump / anti-American propaganda of the bought-and-paid-for legacy media, plus their own ignorance and arrogance. Throw into the mix an unhealthy dose of PVS (Permanent Victim Syndrome) and it is no surprise that Canadians think the way they do. I equate the Elbows Up Canadians to a diva that walks into a coffee shop or spa and treats everyone working there like third-class humans. Then they go around telling all of their friends what open minded, generous, kind people they are. Denial is much more than just a River in Egypt.

‘cant take it with you’ WATCH ME
Absolutely percent true. Too many Canadians think that the world owes us. Whiny bunch of crybabies. All.
Spot on.
Trudeau’s legacy. His constant arrogance and virtue signalling has rubbed off on most Canadians. They would argue that vigorously, but it’s true.
The media in this country has done a great disservice to all, with its constant barrage of disinformation and propaganda, dating back, many, many years. All in a demented competition with each other to obtain taxpayer largesse like pigs in a trough.
Canada is still in the FA stage. It’s going to take at least another 6-12 months to get to the FO stage of its arrogance, indifference, and ineptitude. Meanwhile, it will be the normies who pay for the incompetence and aloofness of the Thug Ford’s and Karl Marx Carnage’s of this country.
And yes, they are all heavily “vaccinated”. They are brain impaired.
The constant arrogance and virtue signalling didn’t just start with the Trudeau era. It goes back many, many decades.
Canuckleheads have been sneering at and claiming superiority over those loud obnoxious war-mongering Yanks for as long as I can remember.
I’ve always attributed it to envy and cover for an inferiority complex.
Amen, like jr high teenagers making fun to cover for a massive inferiority complex. Most Canadians are useless, coward, childish, crybaby sheep and deserve the slaughter coming their way. Shithole.
YUP!
I mean, yes? Obviously?
Canada has had a massive inferiority complex about the US since Confederation. There have been occasional bright lights – Laurier’s ” the 20th century shall be the century of Canada” quote for one – but in general Canadians are une petite peuple ridicule.
The US does not negotiate … it demands. The gist of the conversation is below .
Brian Berletic: Is the U.S. Setting a Trap for Russia in Alaska?

Hi everyone and welcome back. We are joined today by Brian Berlettic, a journalist, international affairs analyst and a former US Marine. So welcome back to the program.
Thank you so much for having me back.
So it’s been now, yeah, 11 and a half years since the 2014 coup that started the war and 3 and 1/2 years since uh the Russians invaded Ukraine. And well there seems to be something of a breakthrough now that is um uh at least for the first time in three and a half years you’re going to have a the American and Russian president meeting and uh it came yeah there was a message message from Russia that they suggest the US has presented what can be considered an acceptable proposal and uh yeah meeting has been set up for between Putin and Trump already now on Friday in Alaska. I was wondering what what do you make of this?
>
> Well, I’m glad that you went back to 2014 when this particular section of this this conflict began, the US overthrow of the Ukrainian government. And if we think back even further than this, the end of the cold war and openly declared US policy to establish primacy over the globe to ensure no rivals of any kind, allied or adversarial emerge. This this is US foreign policy. It has been since the end of the cold war. It is right now. And so if nothing has fundamentally changed regarding this foreign policy or the special interests that are driving it and benefiting from it, then nothing can possibly change in regards to the ongoing conflict in Ukraine. And the Trump administration itself has been very clear of what the actual goal is in all of this. They are trying to force, coerce, draw in Russia to accept a ceasefire so that the United States can have European forces and they also said non-European forces, whoever that will be, move into Ukraine and freeze the conflict. They have no interest at all whatsoever in resolving this. We have to understand that the conflict itself is a US war with Russia simply being fought through Ukraine. It is US commanders at the top of the chain of command of the Ukrainian armed forces. It is the US Central Intelligence Agency overseeing Ukrainian intelligence agencies who are killing um journalists, generals, and others in the streets of Moscow who are coordinating attacks using US and European missiles to hit targets all across Russia. So, this isn’t something that’s suddenly going going to change. This is simply another ploy by the United States to draw in and and outmaneuver geopolitically an adversary. It still considers an adversary and will not give up in terms of encircling and containing.

And zooming out from the the conflict in Ukraine, Russia, China, the rest of BRICS, the multipolar world, they need to understand that the United States obviously cannot be reasoned with. It cannot be negotiated with.
The multipolar world needs to create an international order where the United States is just physically incapable of wielding this this political control and military power. They need to create definite lines that cannot be crossed. They need to create a a reality that forces the United States either into isolation or to constructively cooperate with the rest of the world. Anything short of that is going to end in failure because again the people currently driving US foreign policy are immovable.
They have a supremacist mindset. Again, it is in their policy papers spanning years. It’s in all of the policy papers uh written years before the 2024 election even took place. The Heritage Foundation’s Project 2025. That is those all people that are now in Trump’s current cabinet and they all wrote out this as their policy. They are going to expand NATO. They are going to get Europe not not to end the war in Ukraine but to take over the war so they can pivot towards China.
And these are all things you the United States is now doing. So if if that calculus is not changed, nothing else can change. Which is bringing us back to where we started in the beginning. The US foreign policy objective is to eliminate all rivals, all peer and non-per uh near peer competitors to eliminate them. That is their policy. And there there is no other policy. So, if they’re pretending to negotiate with you on something other than this, the elimination of Russia as a peer or near peer competitor, then it is just a short-term ploy to buy them time to achieve their ultimate objective, which is to eliminate Russia as a peer or near peer competitor. And the same goes for China, Iran, and everybody else.
Wow, another one! You certainly know your wumaos!
Or is he working for India now? Hard to tell with that one, well except for his love of Thai food.
The US tariff success —
Kevin Walmsley (inside china business) as always has a succinct summary … in some of his videos early this year he noted that USA … with Canada in tow are viewed as unfriendly and thus unreliable and China switched their supply chains from France , USA , Canada to Russia and Brazil.
Tariffs wiping out American farmers on all sides, and farm equipment manufacturers are laying off

Who is paying the high Trump tariffs? Me, so far. But not for long.

Wumao Walmsley! Thanks for bringing him up!
I was going to write a long rant (again) about BC (which, we like it or not, is part of Canada, which is the topic of this post) but I decided to just part with the words of my in-laws when they moved here to be closer to us and the grandchildren: BC stands for “Bring Cash”. And TDS is rampant on these parts…
“ About 21 minutes in, Hoekstra politely explains that Canada is not special. Canadians may think they’re more important than everyone else in the world,”
It’s about time the term “pretentious Canadian” is used in the same context the elbows up crowd uses “ugly American”.
Before the election I saw the ultimate expression of the Canadian idiot. I was at the gun range and up comes this guy with an “elbows up” T-shirt. He did start bitching about Trump as a matter of making conversation, figuring everybody within earshot had TDS. I mean this is Canada right? I told him it wasn’t Trump that was going to take his firearms away. But I still know how he voted.
I think Ambassador Pete Hoekstra enjoyed being interviewed by Jasmin Laine, who is friendly, and not needing to explain both sides and why he’s responding in this manner including a defense of his response…
Can’t imagine being interviewed by someone at the CBC where you’d have to preemptively do a roundabout knowing that everything you say is going to be questioned.
Canada is Asshole
