The 25% tariffs President Trump announced on Canada and Mexico — which will likely plunge our northern neighbor into recession — have united Canadians of all political stripes in indignation.

Old news. Apparently canada has agreed to stricter border security…which was the goal. Same with Mexico. The point wasn’t the tarrifs, it was getting help on border security
Trump has threatened our sovereignty and pissed off his biggest customer. 🇨🇦 He will destroy both economies in self inflicted mutilation. I would rather die than become American. #boycottAmerica
Trump is doing Putin's bidding. Ostracize America. Make enemies of its allies then start real shit in the world where we have nowhere to turn. All of this is planned. Trump is a puppet. The domestic nonsense is just cover for the real agenda, whatever that might be.
Follow the money. I can guarantee Trump and friends will make bank on this. The tariffs are a mechanism for Trump to bias the market to favor his inner circle thru special carve outs or subsidies that will go to those who have pledged fealty.
They will be tariffed in Canada soon, but I honestly can't see many buying them with 85% of the population in staunch agreement and the 15% that aren't, aren't exactly the type to be electric car purchasers.
In the long list of blunders, this one is truly at the top. Like the removal of the security details of Pompeio, Bolton, Fauci, and Milley. Even though China was enemy #1 during the campaign, the slaps the highest tariffs on two good friends. Why? Because their leaders personally humiliated him.
Funnily enough, he probably just handed the LPC a 4th term if Carney is leader. The Centre-Right doesn’t really like Poilievre and he was only seen as “better than Trudeau”.
Now that they have a guy they trust, it’s game over for the CPC. Their advantage in young white men wont translate.

It is economic warfare on our closest friend.
In what Universe does it make any sense at all?
