This is just bluster to force Canada to make deals on things like water, natural resources and the north. It is his bullying, nasty style of bargaining. I detest him.
They hate my 🏳️🌈 family. Now it’s Jews 😡
We should pick a same day event across this nation and our LBGTQ+ and Jewish family should demonstrate outside their stores!
And do another one about a month after Trumpian gets inaugurated! May as well push him on using OUR military against us.
Everyone will add tariffs but unlike Trump they'll be selective to do the most damage. My bet would be a high tariff on corn imports and move the purchase to Brazil. That would be a $6bln hit to corn farmers (red states)
They can purchase pulp, paper and aluminum from Canada directly. Another $9bln
She's already said she won't accept immigrants from the US and will send all American immigrants back if he starts his crap again. Just what I would do. I like her!
Prediction: Mexico will continue to improve themselves, but the US will create conflict within when the Mexican government doesn’t “play ball” with literal fascism. Mexico will start shifting their trade to Central/South America.
She's already made it clear she is not going to be another Dump Simp. She said people being deported are welcome to come to Mexico, but if that happens, she's sending back all the US immigrants who live in Mexico in return. Also people may want to start growing their own tomatoes.
A lot of the Canadian Provinces want to basically break NAFTA into two deals, one with the US and a separate one with Mexico...most of them support Trump as well. I'd go out on a limb and say they don't really want Mexico in North America...
I don't know which Canadian you're talking about but it's nothing like what your describing in my area.
Even some friends who voted CPC think Trump is nuts and dangerous.
And we are fine neighbors.
Trump’s authoritarianism would punish Canada for standing by our allies. Trudeau won’t back down, but Poilievre? He’d roll over like a puppy begging for belly rubs. #Trumpism #Poilievre
It's a cancer that has spread worldwide. I do hope that we can all work together, world-wide, to make this world a better place one day. I have always wanted that, but moreso now. I hope it's before I die, never know anymore.
Not just the provincial conservative leaders, but twisted Harper & the IDU etc too …. All of these extremist, except for the self proclaimed queen of Canada.
Most of us do not support Trump - we aren't idiots. He's about to wreck the US economy if he thinks that a 25% tariff on Canadian goods is going to be paid by Canada. Sure, it will eventually hurt us after the US goes into recession.
We have a few provinces who have MAGA adjacent leaderships because of toxic social media and apathetic voters. Russia working hard to oust our prime minister - we now will be like Europe and try to dodge a dictator.
2 separate polls in Oct revealed Canadians would have voted for VP Harris over Trump. One at 60%, one at 64%. Both showed 21% for Trump. Alta, Sask. & Ont. are historically right leaning Conservatives, the polls show only 21% are possibly far right. None of us want to cut trade with our neighbours.
There's a difference between the majority of Canadians and the conservative governments of Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario, and Nova Scotia. The leaders of those four provinces support Trump, not the majority of citizens.
Unfortunately, Ontario and Alberta are 53% of Canada's economy.
🇨🇦 Ex-pat Saskatchewanian here: Note that Sask. came very close to throwing out its 17-year (ugh) right-wing government in the recent provincial election. It was highly encouraging.
As a 🇨🇦, I can say that most of us R not Trump supporters; but yes there R Trumpers here. In my own family, 2 people who claim 2 B religious big Trump supporters. I call these 2 family members as religious hypocrites who lie & manipulate people like Trump. Plus, 🇨🇦 Conservative leader just like Trump.
Read this substack from @timothysnyder.bsky.social!
Conservatives spend far more time thinking about how to manipulate people than they do thinking about how to govern for the people. We need to educate ourselves & others of the ways we are being manipulated. https://snyder.substack.com/p/the-phantom-campaign
Note: I said Canadian Provinces...NOT Canadians. IE, the people running the show. Apparently I was not clear enough...
Yes, the majority of Canadians dislike Trump. However, the leaders of Conservatives led Provinces DO like him ~though some are starting to sour.
So glad you qualified your statement! The Western Provinces seem to have consumed an enormous amount of Trump’s “KookAid” plus the Ontario Conservative Party. We have to work so hard to prevent any semblance of a MAGA OF THE NORTH!
I’m Canadian and have never met another Canadian that likes Trump. I’m sure there must be some but they’re few and far between. Most of us just think he’s a joke and are bewildered at the American people voting him in again.
A strong woman scares the living 💩 of these weak ass men especially Trump. Should be interesting to watch. Wonder how long it will take Putin to intervene.
I have an idea…let’s do a switcheroo…Dems go there…… since their gangs are already here AND millions more are heading over the border as I write this. 😂They can stay here with the cult. They’ll get along just fine. We go to 🇲🇽 and keep our rights. Win win!
The company I work for presented a few small contingency plans in the event of tariffs on goods from China, and a few involved Canada. 😮💨 Guess those won't be working out. ffs.
Trump’s shitty tariff bollocks. I’m doing my bit to fight back. By ensuring I buy nothing made in America. I suggest every single consumer of American goods in the world. Does the same.
Well the highly intelligent Trump voters insist this is genius and Trump is a chess master and libtards just don’t understand the markets. The proud Trump voters think it’s genius that Mexico is finally going to pay. 🤦♀️
Indeed, I doubt he has watched the Princess Bride which would forewarn him of that, along with going up against a Scicilian in matters of life and death!
The man is an idiot. I bet more drugs go from USA to Canada than the opposite way. He says those countries pay tarriffs. No the USA consumer pays them. So we are now paying taxes because other countries send drugs in. I have a thought, do a better job of inspection at borders and ports of entrance.
Actually, there's a over 12 BILLION $ of #Canadian #Drugs coming across the US border...
Prescription ones & their ingredients NOW priced at just 25% higher...than US citizens pay currently! 😷
It’s part of a larger plan to demonize us, for many reasons. Shitler hates Trudeau, hates the example we set for sanity and progressive policies, and setting up a future grab - we have the land and water, and will be better off as the globe starts heating exponentially.
Yes Trump is an idiot. However, it is the people who voted for him that concern me as well. How stupid does a person have to be to vote for a man who doesn’t understand how tariffs work? That gives me deep concern.
He's off to ruin everyone's economy. I don't think he realizes how much this is going to affect the US. And the retribution tarrifs on raw materials is going to hurt alot.
Canadian here: The US has elected a despotic king who is also a career criminal and a sick pathological liar. It's not just your country that will suffer, but the entire planet. We're sliding towards a world controlled by the oligarchs & the mob. The US will one day invade my country, I'm afraid.
With Trump or his prodigal sons, I would be worried. Trump has threatened to attack and bomb Mexico. If he gets a bug up his rear about Trudeau, who knows what Trump will do. He's drunk on power and worshipped by crazed MAGA loons.
These are not really Canadians, more visitors to Canada... we have the same issue, they come on visitor visa, work for cash, huge families in big houses harboring the illegals cause they are family. Not sure what can be done honestly from our side.
Im very aware, i live only a few miles from the border... trust me, if there is any crossing, the number would be very small.its probably more come north than go south.
No kidding. I recall joining hundreds of Canadians going to our airports to offer food and shelter to stranded Americans after 9/11. Would I do it again today? Damned right I would, just to shove it up Trump's ass as to how a neighbour takes care of their neighbour.
I think he is doing this now as a distraction from all the hype over his horrendous cabinet picks. Hants to control the narrative... he is a master at deflection
I agree with you there... have watched him a lot. He has or his minions have used this strategy before. He is a malignant narcissist for sure and has gotten way worse.
I hope the upcoming times really hit home for voters and cut through the sane-washing media does on these things. Doesn't matter what the news says when it hits everyone's bottom line. I can only hope people see..
Me too. People questioned my interest in the happenings in the USA, but I knew it would affect us. Trumpism has crept across our border, and sadly, some of my family went down the rabbit hole
Yes, the day after election my husband and I agreed which lines crossed is our call to leave. It's always been in our head to go to Canada, however I see too that there's similar issues creeping over there. It's a shame, Ottawa could be perfect. Otherwise we're looking at Melbourne.. which is far
Keep it up Donny. It all serves to isolate USA even more, and turn countries to better alternatives (like BRICS).
The world will be all the better for it.
I'm from Canada and there's a lot of things that the orange fool relies on us for.
It will be interesting to see what our leaders do about this insult.
I know!! Who the hell picks a fight with Canada?? More red meat for his brainwashed base, that has no reason to even be a thing. Republican Consequences!! You are all gonna find out!
I heard the Kanadians want to invade America and eat our Kats n Dawgs!!!! Only our Orange Dear Leader can protect us from the scourge to come......amen....
"The top goods that the United States imports from Canada are crude oil and related products such as petroleum gas; vehicles such as cars and car parts."
I hope Americans are willing to pay an arm & a leg for the maple syrup they put on their pancakes. I hope Americans are ready to pay an arm & leg for furniture made from Canadian lumber. They better be ready for a lot of financial pain because a President has decided to have a trade war with Canada.
We don’t have to do anything. China buys their agricultural products. Those farmers were targeted after Trump’s last tariffs. That’s where the punishment will come from
Someone missed the memo detailing how completely interconnected automotive manufacturing is across the US, Canada and Mexico. Watch car prices reach some crazy new heights.
Do you agree that negotiating via twitter / truth is the way forward, along with calling Putin on your mobile. No need for transcribers, agendas / main discussion points or experts - grab the phone & sit on the gold throne
Canada is basically screwed. Trump can squeeze us through tariffs AND his deportation plan (irregular immigrants will move north). He'll use these two levers to exert big concessions. I could imagine he'll ask that foreign investors (i.e., American) be allowed to buy Canadian newspapers at will.
Ha, ha I thought this way your observation Paul, not a repost.
I scrolled back to say I'm stoked to read some background on “Canadian Bacon” a film which seems ever more prescient with hindsight in your upcoming #BookSky John Candy book @pulmyears.bsky.social
CDN here, here’s the deal: Trudeau is a pretty good PM who is getting rat fucked by the Conservative provincial premiers. The federal govt sends transfer payments to the provinces to pay for things like healthcare & education. The premiers are sitting on that $ and starving those services out.. 1/2
…and saying it’s Trudeau’s fault that everything is broken or falling apart. Meanwhile ex hash dealer and Ontario premier Doug Ford is selling off our province to his mob friends, just last week set up some BS $100 million Starlink deal for who knows what or why. JT isn’t perfect but we’re… con’t>
Maybe there's software that is able to collect the data which would benefit Elon in Starlink and he's offering protection to corrupted f*cktards in return. Nothing would surprise me...
…getting screwed by a cartel of Conservative premiers. JT’s biggest miscalculation was probably immigration levels which he has dialled back. He’s getting a raw deal and many of us can’t stand Poilievre, he’s a slimy weasel who refuses to get security clearance and wants to be PM. What a joke…
Don’t forget JT negotiated an EU trade deal and one with Pan Pacific nations knowing we can’t rely on US stability. In the meantime provincial con govt throw temper tantrums.
Trudeau is our PM and doing a fine job, having learned from one of the most successful PM in our history. More importantly, he stands between us citizens and the rot and corruption of the shit hole called America.
He has no clue on how co-dependant the supply chains and trade are. His tariffs will cause all 3 countries GDP declines. What happened to China at 60%(😂)?Walmart called and paid tribute? He should leave all the existing tariffs as is. The economy is in great shape and his fucking with it is his ego.
$3.69 for a dozen at Fortino's this morning. And that's for Canada Grade A eggs via Ontario's oh-so-socialist Egg Farmers of Ontario marketing board. No idea what the problem south of the border is.
Orange Jesus is going to set the continent on fire. He's that filled with rage. Biden has full immunity in this moment and could become the greatest hero this country has ever known...
Canada will respond and the US will be paying more for electricity, oil, minerals, water and many many more manufactured goods. The people who pay tariffs are not the exporters, but the final purchaser. tRump cultists are too ignorant to understand that.
The fight against ignorance, arrogance and incompetence is a tough one, but these same qualities could bring their demise, if the democrats develop a frigging effective strategy.
😂😂😂they seek to remove / oust every single democracy. They have been already targeting Canada, France , Germany , Poland etc… musk helps the fascists by using x and recruiting our kids . Wake the fck up .
Does he realize that Canada supplies 60% of the U.S.'s crude oil for its refineries? Or massive supplies of the rare minerals that Musk needs? Or a fair bit of water, which is not just there for the taking? Unless Trump's endgame is invasion, Canada has a few bargaining chips.
As a canadian, i'm outrageous about this tarrif and now i'm scared to see many product getting a price hike which is more higher in CAD due to our dollar value
💯 agree, and I'm truly sorry. I would love to defund the nra and have sensible gun laws. Requirement to own a gun safe, requirement to attend safety classes. Stronger back ground checks. Stronger regulations on gun sellers.

Dumbing down the electorate is the Cons’ game and it’s working.

USA storms the Capital
Canada says Hold My Beer
Then parks a bunch of trucks outside the parliament building and has a weeks long party!
Guess which country enacted a wars measures act to break up the mob?
But instead he will get his ass kicked.
He is a joke and not respected by any country
Make Timmies Canadian again! ;)

God help us
Prescription ones & their ingredients NOW priced at just 25% higher...than US citizens pay currently! 😷
We should have 25% or more added to America bound syrup cost but not on Canadians
It's the only way to save us.
Fentanyl is being smuggled from Mexico by American citizens into the U.S. Likewise the migrants are coming from Mexico.
Why is he threatening us. What did 🇨🇦 do?
Number of migrants sneaking into the U.S. from Canada 2021-2023 was in the hundreds per month (increased to about 2K per month since April 2024).
Doesn’t warrant $125B in tariffs (25% x $500B in exports).
When Trump speaks, he calls it a “weave”, going off on tangents and then claims it’s sign of genius.
Maybe, but see same behaviour in crazy. He’s just all over the place all the time. He’s lost it.

I'm sure Tariffs will put an end to that.
Yeesh.
Yup
Parrying loke it's 1999
Buckle up your house prices are about to go up.. waaaay up
We in 🇨🇦 Canada don’t need to do anything to retaliate
It’s not us that’s paying for it..
Trump will just destroy your economy 1 announcement at a time
The world will be all the better for it.
It will be interesting to see what our leaders do about this insult.
"The top goods that the United States imports from Canada are crude oil and related products such as petroleum gas; vehicles such as cars and car parts."
He "plans to bring it back." How's that going to work during a trade war?
If anything, tariffs make people struggle even more, which can boost migration, not prevent it.
F Putin and F Trump!
Our population is equal to New York State and we all want to live there.
First, we take Manhattan....

(I seriously think this might factor in his thinking. Or whatever it is his brain does)
https://tradingeconomics.com/canada/exports/united-states#
Not to mention electricity. Or fertilizer for crops.
The cost of gas in America is not a political issue is it?
Time to export more O&G overseas
