Canada, if you’re listening… Put 100% tariffs on Tesla and take them off Chinese EVs. Use export tariffs on energy and critical minerals. #strikeback #tariffs #econosky #finsky

Well one probable outcome with the Mexican tariffs will be the repatriation of Fentanyl labs into the US… Trump will probably claim a victory on that.

He will blame Hunter Biden’s laptop

canuck1949.bsky.social•35 days ago

What he has wrought isn't so much panic and hatred and loathing for our closest ally.

liberatedcanadian.bsky.social•35 days ago

Canadians are more American patriots than Republicans.

brainmeberries.bsky.social•35 days ago

I implore our allies to strike back.

adisneygeek.bsky.social•35 days ago

No panic, just seething anger. We aren’t buying American goods anymore 😡

earl-i-lark.bsky.social•35 days ago

No panic. Just anger and resolve.

awilm.bsky.social•34 days ago

Americans with a brain are angry too

jandehn.bsky.social•35 days ago

BLOG: Trump launches tariffs again even though they were a miserable failure last time. So why do it again? Because tariffs serve special interest groups - at YOUR expence. Here is my take on Trump’s tariffs as an economist and financial analyst for many years.

mavsuperman.bsky.social•35 days ago

They should be angry. I hope they don't roll over and take it

mamaemfish.bsky.social•35 days ago

We won’t. Thank you.🙏

dracula1959.bsky.social•35 days ago

I live in Canada. We've been friends with Americans for as long as we've been countries. We've had issues in the past that we've confronted and moved beyond. But this economic warfare that Trump has vollied against us is disturbing because it's not based on reason. It's political. Trump is chaos.

cholz.bsky.social•35 days ago

All I'm seeing is anger up here. In no way are we in panic mode.

ajohmss1956.bsky.social•35 days ago

No panic here.
Just anger and determination.
Sorry, America, but we are not afraid of you and your Fuhrer.

abellemare09.bsky.social•35 days ago

Panic no but anger is a yes, bye, bye to our close relation, hope provinces stand together and eventually pull the plug on export of energy

jbretd.bsky.social•35 days ago

And in red states

jcpozo.bsky.social•35 days ago

Panic? Ha. They are retaliating.

kar54.bsky.social•35 days ago

But, are they really panicking? Really?

mamaemfish.bsky.social•35 days ago

No. We aren’t. We will just buy Canadian instead.

danisooooo.bsky.social•35 days ago

How can someone panic because a retard like Trump?

unkledak.bsky.social•35 days ago

I have every intention of boycotting as many American products and companies as possible. And not just for the duration of the tariffs but from here out. Until the American people remove Trump I do not consider them a friend or ally to Canada.

raphiwsk.bsky.social•35 days ago

Now we know why they went to Venezuela. It wasn’t for the prisoners. 🤬

bobtheangryone.bsky.social•35 days ago

Canada should close the border, cut ✂️ off oil, cut electricity, etc.

The Orange Wanker wants a trade war. Give him nothing.
NO TRADE.

donnamenner.bsky.social•35 days ago

Glad Trudeau is being strong.

jonas-29.bsky.social•35 days ago

What is buddy trying to achieve with all the tariffs on his allies ?

xrmechsolutions.bsky.social•35 days ago

Chaos. As his boss demands. That is the only reason he would be threatening invading other allies as well or trying to "annex" Canada.

erulux.bsky.social•35 days ago

A lot more anger than panic. Trust me. 🤬 Always remember. Psychology 101: Anger is better than despair.

saneusapres.bsky.social•35 days ago

It is the job of President to represent the American people on the international stage. To the citizens of the country, Canada and Mexico are our strongest allies and neighbors. We should be finding things to bring us closer together. Instead this administration continues its legacy of division.

peterghardy.bsky.social•35 days ago

Panic? I see anger and I see determination, but not panic.

nickw69.bsky.social•35 days ago

This is likely to backfire in so many ways. Trump seems to think that playing with the economy is bit like a game of monopoly and I bet he is shit at that too.

teufelhunden0352.bsky.social•35 days ago

If you want to know Canada's response, the link is to Canada's CBC live stream. At 8:30 pm ET Canada's PM Trudeau is expected to announce their response.

And in the U.S. We didn’t want this. A majority of us didn’t vote for him. We’re being held hostage by #Trump and #Elon

nik4democracy.bsky.social•34 days ago

It’s heartbreaking to watch but quite infuriating that we aren’t seeing you guys organised and out in the streets. Scared citizen = compliance.

missfisher1923.bsky.social•35 days ago

Well he won the vote and you were told what he would do.
So now is FAFO time.

billie25.bsky.social•35 days ago

No panic 🇨🇦 will get through this!👍

radiobill.bsky.social•35 days ago

And in the United States

lindarosemoniak.bsky.social•35 days ago

Well, duh.

sandi89701936.bsky.social•35 days ago

The panic is on the American side equally. Trump scammed voters and now the price of eggs are a minor concern

rktecture.bsky.social•35 days ago

The Yanks are the ones who should be panicking - for a whole host of reasons - but rampant inflation being the most obvious immediate one...

meadia.bsky.social•35 days ago

Why is everyone panicking now? Like we knew he was gonna do this. Give me a break. If you didn’t think he would do this then you are a dumbass

ijustneedaname.bsky.social•35 days ago

Started a trade war.

daniel71.bsky.social•35 days ago

.... and America.

whereitsat68.bsky.social•35 days ago

We are hurting our Mexican neighbors both inside and outside the border. For no reason. 😡

chrayzichrissy.bsky.social•35 days ago

Trump signed tariffs against Canada, Mexico, and China on 2-1-25.
Tariffs to take effect 2-4-25.
Most wood is supplied from Canada
....
Toilet paper gonna cost arm and leg

ceepeed.bsky.social•34 days ago

Trump's tariffs spark panic and anger in the US.

kersha27369.bsky.social•35 days ago

Canada did not panic
We are resolute and prepared.

varisawful.bsky.social•35 days ago

12 days in and it’s a predictable mix of vicious and incompetence. “Move fast and break s***” isn’t a governing philosophy. Losing allies and goodwill. Eroding US economy from within. #omnishambles

dominiondem.bsky.social•35 days ago

Panic and anger in America!

This crazed/illogical act will spike inflation and destabilize financial markets and create uncertainty in the business community. What is the purpose of this Republican trade war. We are harming our allies/neighbors!

What a disastrous first two weeks!

tracey31.bsky.social•35 days ago

What panic? Piss off. We'll fight back. End of.

f23b58.bsky.social•35 days ago

💯💯 Canadians are resilient and united. 🇨🇦

skyeangelwillow.bsky.social•35 days ago

Canada and Mexico are not panicking. This is a stupid headline. They are firm in their response.

randvar7.bsky.social•35 days ago

The parallel between Putin’s invasion of Ukraine and Trump’s economic aggression toward Canada—despite its commitment to a free trade agreement—is undeniable, especially given the repeated “joke” of Canada being the 51st state. I wonder who, from what little remains of the free world, would help it

beckylemay.bsky.social•35 days ago

USA just confirmed what the world suspected about the red, WHITE and blue

ozmaofoz2016.bsky.social•35 days ago

I'm an American and it makes ME angry. Pure spite from the felon filth.

f4wso-1.bsky.social•35 days ago

Hope that anger is directed to Donald Trump where it should be

bigguy1231.bsky.social•35 days ago

Nobody in Canada is panicking. We are just pissed and ready to retaliate. Ban Tesla's from Canada to start with.

suebarrbrown.bsky.social•35 days ago

Trump voters will pay the higher prices and blame Biden.

annala2.bsky.social•35 days ago

And in me !

missfisher1923.bsky.social•35 days ago

No panic and no anger just amazement that King Trump would turn on a trusted ally. Canadians play hockey and we know how to go for the teeth. We have our elbows up. Canadians never start a fight but we know how to finish one.

billf55.bsky.social•35 days ago

Sad to witness the fall of the USA civil society. Closing the US border to American goods and sports teams is fine with me.
