Just like the EU treating the UK and non EU countries in Europe. Unfortunately Carney was a part of that but seems to have learned his lesson. 🤷‍♂️

Seems fair enough, if Canada was a US State!

This is mostly Carney’s spin, no?

That’s an anonymously made AI-made graphic. It looks pretty but is completely uncorroborated. Those are guesses and spin.

Funny 🤔 I thought Carney was all for allowing foreign governments to dictate your own country’s trade policy or was that only for the UK?

Not as intrusive as the EU’s demand on the UK.

You're a supposed "Journalist"? You post a meme of utter bullshit. Rather than do a deep dive as an ethical "journalist" would, you go get a meme floating around and repost it without any context, and that is completely biased. Hey, wait, maybe you are a "journalist".

Wake up, Andrew... you're supposed to be a journalist.

Add “The right to veto domestic laws” and this could be the UK’s requirements to rejoin the EU.

Grok: 'The graphic cites a non-existent Global News article as its source. It is not authentic reporting from that media outlet'.

Andrew this has been exposed as an AI fake. And a rather obvious one. Don't circulate it.

Canada needs to accept the reality of the situation and become a semi autonomous region of the United States. Canada continuing under the illusion of being an independent country only makes the people living there less wealthy and less free

The URL at the bottom of the image does not exist, and I cannot find the source on the cited website in any form. I think you've been suckered by a fake. globalnews.ca/news/12026323/…

The best thing Canada could so is put Carney back in his box.

Reported, Andrew. By Global News. An organization that survives on governments subsidies. Aerospace was on the table. China has been flooding Canada, buying up companies. Transshipping extensively. The Canadian steel association has also made this point. Chinese owned port infrastructure has not worked out well for some countries on the belt and road. I live here. Carney has made a big mistake for his ego. Canada has been and will continue to get poorer.

“These are reported US demands. Not all were publicly confirmed by both governments.” That’s the fine print.

Links to reports confirming US 'asks' are given in this post.

Canada wouldn't have put up with the EU either then. Good to know.

Grok seems to have a more nuanced take. No, the demands listed on the infographic are not fully correct or verified. The graphic (titled “SUMMARY OF KEY U.S. DEMANDS IN 2026 CANADA–U.S. TRADE NEGOTIATIONS”) presents a detailed 13-point list that has been circulating online. It is unverified. Neither the Canadian nor U.S. governments has confirmed the full set of specifics, and no major outlet (including the Global News article it cites from Aug. 21, 2026) has published matching “official documents” supporting every item. thedeepdive.ca What is supported by reporting and statements Prime Minister Mark Carney and sources familiar with the talks identified these as real sticking points that contributed to the collapse: • Restrictions on Canada’s ability to negotiate independent trade deals with non-U.S. countries (described by Carney as limiting outside partnerships). • Demands affecting Canadian culture and French-language protections (CanCon quotas, Online Streaming Act discoverability rules, Quebec product labeling/manuals under language laws, and related cultural subsidies). • Auto sector changes (excluding medium/heavy trucks from tariff relief and tightening rules around Canadian content/steel). • Preferential or first-refusal access to Canadian critical minerals. • Ending or limiting “Buy Canada” public procurement preferences. • Adjustments around dairy supply-management licensing/quotas (Canada offered administrative measures but not full dismantling). • Ending remaining Canadian retaliatory tariffs and restoring provincial sales of U.S. alcohol. These match the core reasons Carney publicly cited for walking away (“they asked too much and offered too little,” threats to language/culture/sovereignty, and late changes on autos and third-country deals). thedeepdive.ca What appears exaggerated or unconfirmed Several of the more extreme or highly specific items on the infographic go beyond verified reporting and are part of the circulating unverified list: • A formal joint U.S.-Canada review board giving the U.S. a functional veto over major infrastructure investments (ports, telecom, energy, power grids). • Price caps + limits on domestic processing and exports of unrefined critical minerals. • Mandatory extension of pharmaceutical data exclusivity / patent periods. • Binding military spending benchmarks tied to purchasing specific U.S. hardware for Arctic/NORAD. • Priority allocation and price guarantees on Canadian energy exports. • Lowering the de minimis customs threshold for e-commerce. • Specific investor-state dispute settlement changes. These have not been confirmed by Carney, Canadian officials, or major reporting. The graphic itself includes a disclaimer that “Not all were publicly confirmed by both governments.” Bottom line: The infographic correctly captures the broad themes of sovereignty, culture/language, third-country policy autonomy, autos, and minerals that sank the talks. However, many of its precise mechanisms and extreme formulations are not substantiated by official statements or credible journalism and should be treated as unverified amplification rather than an accurate official list.

So the US just copied the EU

Andrew, Carney's move towards China has enabled the rethink from the US.

Seriously, AI propaganda? You wouldn’t use this if it was pro-U.S. Do better.

If they turned off the tap on their natural gas tomorrow, the lights would go out in about 12-13 states. I wonder how Trump supporters would react then?

At the bottom the text reads: “Not every demand received public confirmation from the governments of both countries.” Why are you confident in your statement?

The US want guaranteed access to our energy & critical minerals. They want to dictate who we can trade with, our defence $, and what languages we speak. They want tariff free access to our markets. They want all the benefits of being a province without actually being one.

It’s amazing how so many pro Brexiters* - including in the Trump administration now - have suddenly drunk the cool aid that geography and volume of trade is important for growth and trade strategy. And that the EU was a wonderful template after all (common external tariff)

But @MarkJCarney always tells the g7 U.K. we should bend over and accept the demands of the big trading bloc we are near …. He doesn’t apply the same logic to his own country 😂

I’ve been following this since it happened and that list is news to me. No idea where any of it was supposedly reported.

But Mr Carney wanted us in Britain to bow down to EU rules and regulations

They sound like the EU 🤷‍♀️

Don’t push propaganda, the talks fell apart because Mark Carney refused to label steel and Aluminum from China as Chinese made so China could circumvent the tariffs on their products. You are either naive or evil.

Publishes Canadian propaganda unquestionably and still thinks he's an objective journalist

Canada in effect would have been annexed

Why does he constantly treat his allies with such contempt? It doesn't work. This isn't the real estate business in the eighties.

The U.S. is acting to minimize situations in which Canada could independently leverage resources, infrastructure, regulatory tools, or third-country relationships in ways that undercut U.S. safeguards or free-market (and security) priorities—especially amid documented concerns about Chinese influence. Whether every item on the graphic is literally accurate is secondary; the direction of U.S. demands is clear from official statements and contemporaneous reporting.

This list has not been confirmed in reporting or other sources.
