President Trump said Wednesday that he was calling off tariff threats that he had issued in an effort to secure American ownership of Greenland, saying he had reached a framework agreement with Mark Rutte, the secretary general of NATO, over the future of the icy Danish territory.
The announcement on Mr. Trump’s social media network came hours after he told European leaders in Davos, Switzerland, that he would not settle for anything less than the United States taking ownership of Greenland — while rescinding a threat to invade it. Mr. Trump had promised dire economic and security consequences for Europe if he did not get his way.
Writing on Truth Social, Mr. Trump said Wednesday evening that he and Mr. Rutte had “formed the framework of a future deal with respect to Greenland and, in fact, the entire Arctic Region. This solution, if consummated, will be a great one for the United States of America, and all NATO Nations.”
The president did not immediately give any details of that framework, and notably did not say that the United States would own Greenland, even when asked directly about ownership by a reporter in Davos soon after posting the announcement. Mr. Rutte and the leaders of Denmark did not release details either. NATO did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
Go ask a someone under 30 if they can afford a house and get back to me. The RCMP has speculated the next generation may riot when they realize they are poorer than their parents.
Trump is pissed because Canada’s record high housing market is too expensive for gen z?
That is the argument you’re making FYI and it’s ludicrous on almost every conceivable level.
The first half of my comment was a joke
oof. on par with your username tho.
Like get better jokes bro
That’s not just in Canada, a lot of western nations have housing cost issues. That’s just rampant and unchecked capitalism. And not an indicator of a failing economy.
Yes absolutely true, same goes for several Asian countries too.
We also have grocery and telecom monopolies, stagnating wages and poor worker investment and production compared to similar nations. Canada is also experiencing a brain drain as skilled people leave for better cost of living & less taxation.
That has nothing to do with Canada or any one particular country, jack ass. That’s just late stage capitalism. Billionaire class slowly but surely, generation after generation, increasing the gap and fucking over the little guys. Every generation gets worse, and now, globally, we’re living in the age when all of that shit since Reagenomics hit the scene has now started to come home to roost.
Saying that that is a “Canadian” problem is like saying that climate change is a “Canadian” problem. Yes…technically it is, but it’s also a US problem, a UK problem. A French, German and Italian problem. Because the over-arching problem has nothing to do with countries, but with the elites that pay for those governments the world over to do their bidding while fucking the rest of us over.
Stop being an idiot.
Canada has it significantly worse than many other nations, and the bigger problem is that housing bubble is the backbone of its economy. Other nations have expensive houses but their economies aren’t as reliant on keeping those houses expensive as Canada’s is.
It’s simply a matter of too much avocado toast.
The ability to buy a house isn’t the only indicator of an economy. Neither is GDP, or CPI, or any of the other numerous stats if used in isolation. Millennials (and their cusps - xennials and zennials) already accepted that we’re poorer than our parents, financially at least, and we didn’t riot. We voted differently and continuously push for other things.
Okay but pretty much all the numbers are bad. If it was just housing or just price gouging on grocceries we would be fine but the reality is many factors of the economy are working against young & blue collar Canadians.

That’s a national post opinion piece. It’s not worth the cost of electricity it took to display it
hahahahaha! Oh, my days…
Alright, calm down everyone! As expected, Canada’s economy is absolutely fine. Nothing unusual here. This one’s just not realised the things they’re experiencing are totally normal everywhere in the world. Canada’s actually got it quite good compared to most everywhere else.
