      The funny thing is that the USMCA was negotiated by Trump to replace NAFTA during his first term.

    NAFTA may have helped Canada grow economically but only if we stayed under the thumb of the US and jumped every hoop when asked. Trump just took it up a notch with USMCA and now wants Canada to be completely subservient. It may hurt in the short term but it is time for the US to become ‘just another country’ and for Canada to continue to pivot away from them in every way.

    During his first term, Trump negotiated and heavily praised the USMCA as a superior alternative to the “disastrous” North American Free Trade Agreement (NAFTA), which he said had offshored US jobs, among other problems.

    It was a slightly tweaked NAFTA with a new name, but he wanted votes from people who were opposed to NAFTA, so we got a lot of political theater.

      Is it possible that we just stop trading with the US, can we make that happen?

        Don’t think so. Not in the foreseeable future. But we can start trading with more friction and therefore do more to protect important sectors. The increased friction would increase the need for doing more ourselves, as well as trade with non-US countries.

      Setting the path in place to blame whoever happens to be in power at that time.

      If the fascists are still in power, they’ll just push it further back.

        Yeah but a new administration can just sign it again. Having this long cool down forces it to pass through multiple administrations so it has to be agreed upon long term to end it.

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF OCTOBER 19 2025

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to “Mom! He’s bugging me!” and “I’m not touching you!” Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
