I sort of glad it's happening just because I am so sick of the threats from the Trump regime. Yep it's going to hurt on both sides of the border but Canada will survive. I'm not sure I can say the same for democracy in the US. He's almost dismantled America in one month. Push back America, hard
Give the man a break will you - he has no choice, he needs that tariff revenue to reduce the unjust taxes on Elon and Bezos. You Americans just have to buckle down and work harder, is all. If you work really, really hard you may not even notice that social security evaporated.
And soon, billions of federal funds will be given to MAGA friendly groups like Midwestern farmers to keep them from feeling the pain the rest of us will feel.
USA has been the cause of numerous mass displacements of populations. Where can Americans go if the coup continues to wreck the economy? The experience of economic migrants to America is one of humiliation and degradation.
Europe are going to absorb a lot of Canadian products from now on, you can have a bigger market here than you have in the US....the CETA trade agreement have just been boosted bigtime. But USA have no safe harbor, this will really hurt an already challenged middleclass in the US.
Rather depressingly, it seems that the whole world gets impacted by the fallout & not just Americans. Don't get me wrong, all nations have had some disastrous leaders. But voting him in again seems rather rude to the rest of the world.
I think I understand a lot of the moron does, but this one? Is it just because he doesn’t understand how they work or he wants the economy to crash? And blame someone else?
Hello? Elmo said they had to crash the economy to "balance the budget." He said the middle class would feel the crunch, but it would only be temporary. He didn't even mention us poors. We obviously don't even enter his ketamine-riddled brain.
I never heard the part about taking the beloved Wall Street with him. They were all salivating at the idea of no regulations and lower taxes, many not thinking that tariffs would really happen, consumers would get angry or rising unemployment numbers would be this real.
Warren Buffet said it so well, "And then what?" in the meantime Johnson is sure the protests represent paid Democrats....they could not be more wrong. The people have moved way past party. This is about each other.
I stocked up on fabric as much as possible in anticipation of prices going up. Today the denim I bought for $12 a yard last year is $20 a yard. I have a lot of allergies, and a weirdly-shaped body, so I make a lot of my clothes. I've lost 65# so I need new things. I'm gonna have a SMALL wardrobe.
First place most Americans will notice tariffs...the grocery store. Expect fruits and veg to race upwards in price...25% is just the wholesale cost, retail will be much higher.
Cars will see prices rise from 4-12,000 per new vehicle. The resulting slump in sales will force layoffs in US and Canada.
A lot of blue voters live in red states. Ohio became extremely red because of illegal gerrymandering. Citizens tried to change this, but the R's cheated. It was not always this way. I never voted for Trump or any Republicans.
The retaliation Canada has strategically planned federally on top of the additional import/export bans each of the provinces are individually planning is going to hit the US economy like a freight train.
As an American, I hope so and am so grateful that’s the plan!! I am SO sorry for what we’re putting sane world actors through right now, but YES PLEASE to appropriately severe consequences so we can finally put a check on this madness!! 🩵🇨🇦
Keep in mind when, you're celebrating their pain, that blue voters living and working in those states and industries will be suffering, too. We didn't choose this shit. I voted for the black lady.
not one state in this country is exclusively populated by members of one politicial party.
Bourbon and Tennessee Whiskey are big Red State business. Much of it is bottled in Indiana, in addition to Kentucky and Tennessee. Easy target. 1st on the list, I think.
I'll enjoy watching them get their just desserts, but it will be tempered by the suffering of my kids and grandkids. The grands had no dog in this fight, but they're gonna get fucked all the same.
Just listening to a financial analyst on the radio here in Europe saying that the Trump tariffs could cost each American household $2000 in 2025 alone. Is that what Americans voted for?
Indeed. Trump is isolating America from its allies, weakening the country in every possible way. Aligning America with Russia & North Korea must be of great concern to true American patriots, especially members of the armed services.
I suspect that when their living costs rocket, healthcare is under threat & their social security benefits are cut, even the most stupid MAGA cultist will realise something is amiss (though they’ll probably blame migrants, liberals, Canadians, George Soros etc, anybody except the orange coward).
If only the registered voters took 5 minutes to educate themselves who would be the better president in 2024. The convicted felon who loves communism and Russia along with dictators. Or the prosecutor will stand for democracy and the rule of law. America, Ukraine, the world. Didn’t need this crap.
We're low income blue voters. We've been eating Spam since the 1980s.
As for low grade coffee, who can afford the expensive shit? Not us. Dunkin in the orange tub is the best we can buy.
SKIP THE STATE OF THE UNION TOMORROW AND SIGN UP FOR THIS INSTEAD! We'll be joined by Prof. Timothy Snyder, who wrote the book On Tyranny: Twenty Lessons from the Twentieth Century. Sign up: https://go.redwine.blue/304SS-TH
Fat Donnie just halted aid to Ukraine - a violation of the Budapest Memorandum, violation of the separation of powers. This would be impeachable had the electorate not 💩 the bed and allowed R’s a trifecta. Consider throwing a few bucks to United 24 that directly supports Ukraine. 🇺🇦❤️ https://u24.gov.ua/
No one in Canada wanted this, not our people nor our Prime Minister. This is ALL Donald Trump’s doing. What a horrendous, moronic decision by Trump and his atrocious Republican backers. They’re trying to crush Americans, so they can reap the benefits in the end.
Canadians are prepared. Millions of us have been boycotting American produce and goods for a while now. We have lots of produce from other countries. It’s elbows up for Canadians.
LOL. Canadian have been livid ever since DonOld said he wants us to be the 51st State. We are united like never before & are in this fight for the long haul. I have not purchased one thing produced in the USA since. I check the things I buy very carefully. Millions of Canadians are doing this.
One of the greatest tricks that Donald Trump and Elon Musk ever pulled is to convince millions of people that DOGE is about government efficiency. It's about narcissistic, resentful destruction: The Death of Government Expertise.
It will decades to regain all our allies trust again. Trump has gone after Canada,Mexico, Greenland,Panama, the Middle East & our European alliance. Their intelligence will always remember the classified documents that Trump stole. America is not the greatest country in the world,that is gone now .
While we haven’t been the greatest country in the world for a very long time, we’ve never been despised as one of the worst either. Sadly that that’s all over now. Heated to the degree of Russia. We are a pariah and we deserve it.
As an act of resistance- Dems should boycott DJT’s speech to Congress- let MAGA see an empty chamber on Fox News - no more being collegiate and playing by the rules
Ps, we have invested in candles, and hurricane lanterns, and camp stoves, and fake fid, and over 40 gallons of H20. My kids always made fun of me for this. They are now all adults. And my stock response has always been, "I hate it when I'm right." LOL, you know?
Stock market has factored that in. WAPO {Bezos} has factored that in, so no negative headlines or editorials. NYT {Ochs-Sulzberger family} has factored that in, so no negative headlines. After trump/Zelenskyy presser he can not now deny RUSSIA, RUSSIA, RUSSIA. Half our country has factored that in.
Lord we ask for peace for those who need peace, reconciliation for those who need reconciliation and comfort for all who don't know what tomorrow will bring🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦🇺🇦
Yes, it is very worrying…and also, please use all your resources, contacts and influence to help Ukraine! We are Americans; we support our allies! We can not allow Trump to freeze their critical aid!
That is the last line, without the word tariffs, in the best movie that Adam Sandler has ever made, called, punch drunk love. Unfortunately, the connotation in the movie is for happiness for the couple. In this case, it's going to be bad on everyone
Yes ma'am!
6 minutes in to this trade war and this Canadian is pissed. That said, I've been more pissed than I've ever been in my life for a while now.
I hope you guys can do something to stop him.
Feel your pain. It doesn't have to be this way. The agenda for chaos is taking on too much collateral damage to be spontaneous. Our court systems have failed. Congress is tainted by Cult. The Executive branch is corrupt.
It’s going to take all of us on this planet. I think this is the WW3 Trump refers to-but we need to flip the Project 2025 script on them TrimpMuskPutinites
Tariffs being the dumbest fvcking idea in centuries, we TEACH about them in Elementary school history classrooms to demonstrate just HOW stupid , self defeating and fiscally irresponsible they WERE... emphasis on WERE
are we making me look stupid to my former students? or is #TraitorTrump stupid?
After T destroys this country and try to flee to his nefarious buddies' countries, I hope they reject him after doing their biddings and make the sea his home, bc he cannot come back home.
He's nothing but a slumlord putz. He's not a billionaire, He's a wannabe. And now he will never be because of his tariffs. He's going to get very poor in a hurry because inflation's going up the market is going down and he's a fucking idiot.
Since we will have tariffs, does that mean my income tax withholding will go to zero? And there will be no need to file income tax returns? Like prior to 1913?
The irony is that Trump is whining and complaining about the trade agreement he made in July 2020. Right up through October 2024 he was bragging (138 times) about how he's the master dealmaker and it was the best trade deal ever.

Elbows up!!
Canadians are ready for this fight & we will hunker down.
Personally, I would not have pressed this button.
Now do you understand how Trump went bankrupt six times?
May also lead to horribleness.
I cant call it 🤷.
Social media posts and and demonstrations won't cut it. You need to make things inconvenient for the billionaires.
It is surely is being spread across the ND back & forth to Reseve.
I know this for a fact Joyce.
tariffs effect prices
They very well may be by morning!! 🤣🤣
WTG Red State idiots!! YOU & YOU ALONE ARE 100% RESPONSIBLE FOR CLEMENTINE CALIGULA DESTORYING THE USA... AND THE TARIFFS! YOU OWN IT! FAFO!

Shows that the idea of American Exceptionalism is a crock of shit.

However, this is an existential situation for many Canadian towns and industries. It's just different.

-Lift sanctions on Russia.
-Pause aid to Ukraine.
Anyone else see what's going on here?

Nothing good is going to come from this, and US consumers are going to be hit hard.
He's the biggest moron ever elected, from anywhere on the planet.
Buckle up kids… it’s FAFO time.
🇨🇦
It’s going to be interesting.
not one state in this country is exclusively populated by members of one politicial party.
Not only did the Kentucky & Tennessee whiskeys get pulled, so did Titos vodka (Texas) & Bacardi rums (Florida).
We will do it again.
We are going to fight back & we are going to make it hurt because Canadians are super pissed off.

Or anyone else other than Trump.
Start investing in candles?🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️🤷🏽♀️
“yep....he will blame the inflation they cause on President Biden....mark my words”
Bet on it
If Trump were actively trying to recreate those conditions, with recession, unemployment AND inflation, would he do anything differently?
I think not.

The whole world knows.
We are waiting for you to do something to help. Like, SOS.
I like the cut of yr jib 😘
are we making me look stupid to my former students? or is #TraitorTrump stupid?
Farms will be snatched up by broligarchs at fire sale prices.
JD Vance's Acretrader spp will make a mint.
What will it take to get the horsemen of the apocalypse out of the WH?
Hope my car lasts. Can-t imagine what repairs will cost.
(spoiler: it was a bad hair transplant)
All I have to say is “fuck Trump”. That’s it.
Can I get a residency permit?
Now he hates it.
