BREAKING: AMERICA LAST: Canadian PM Carney SNUBS Trump, and signs $1.75 BILLION deal with Australia for radar tech instead of U.S. systems!
Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney just made it pretty clear that the United States under Trump is no longer their go-to trade partner by signing a massive $1.75 billion deal with Australia to build an Australian-designed long-range Over-the-Horizon Radar system for Arctic defense.
Announced Monday, the deal announced Monday deepens defense ties between the two Commonwealth nations and marks Australias largest-ever defense export.
Canadian and Australian officials hailed their new strategic partnership as they stand shoulder-to-shoulder as the world adjusts to new strategic and economic realities.

Let's see if we can't get democracy right next time for All Americans. Tax the rich into oblivion. Expand free education. Toss citizens United in the trash heap with the East Wing and the pool sludge. Pass the equal rights amendment for women and make it illegal to abuse stalk and disappear immigrants. And universal health care!
I'm sure there is much much more.
