The Tea β˜•

Alright, fam, listen up! So, word on the street is Canada is planning to officially recognize the State of Palestine at the UN General Assembly in September 2025. The Prime Minister, Mark Carney, is like, "Yeah, we gotta do this because of the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and the promise of political reforms."

But hold up, 'cause Trump's not feeling it. He's basically saying if Canada goes through with this Palestine thing, it's gonna be "very hard" to make a trade deal with the US. He even set a deadline of August 1, 2025 for a bilateral economic and security deal!

Canada's all like, "Nah, we gotta preserve a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict," and they're pointing to the worsening situation in Gaza. Plus, they're saying their recognition depends on the Palestinian Authority actually committing to reforms, including elections in 2026 without Hamas, and demilitarization.

This is happening as France and the UK are also thinking about recognizing Palestine, making Canada the third G7 country to signal such plans. The leader of Palestine, Abbas, is happy with the news, but Israel is big mad. The UK will also formally recognize the state of Palestine in September unless Israel agrees to a ceasefire in Gaza, so things are getting spicy!

Oh, and let's not forget Trump already slapped a 35% tariff on Canadian goods because he's sus of Canada not stopping fentanyl from flowing into the US. So, yeah, things are lowkey tense between the US and Canada rn.
