As a Canadian I can tell you that one thing that Trump's tariffs have done is make everyone up here hopping mad. Not only will there be counter tariffs for US goods, but people are talking about voluntarily boycotting products from the US. Trade wars don't benefit anyone.

Americans are perplexed too...

towanda76.bsky.social•28 days ago

Trump is just throwing his bigly man-baby tantrum.

@peterbakernyt.bsky.social I would like to know why the White House has closed its public comment line and removed the online comment form from its website. Does the president want to avoid hearing from the American people? I think the press secretary needs to respond to this.

@peterbakernyt.bsky.social the outgoing voicemail for WH public comment number said the line would be open from 11a-3p ET Tues-Thurs. Just called a few times and kept getting User Busy tone. No answer. @jwatsonco.bsky.social @kaitlancollins.bsky.social @brianstelter.bsky.social @wired.com

jwatsonco.bsky.social•26 days ago

Thanks for the update. I will call!

jwatsonco.bsky.social•28 days ago

Trudeau seems to understand the American people far better than our president.

throttlechop.bsky.social•28 days ago

Time for us to learn O Canada to disrupt gatherings by the corrupt.

zinfangal.bsky.social•28 days ago

Trump is attempting to extort Our neighbors

needmoreram.bsky.social•28 days ago

Because it is stupid. Utterly stupid. These tariffs are stupid.

emmyinballard.bsky.social•28 days ago

This is getting me emotional. Canada is our friend and neighbor.

diamondlifeca.bsky.social•28 days ago

Neighour.

Isn’t there a Canada/US/Mexico trade agreement that Trump signed? Can’t Canada sue?

ccesco.bsky.social•28 days ago

Trump is the enemy of everyone in the Americas!

briantarbell.bsky.social•28 days ago

The crazy people who support the president might though.

r3fugiado.bsky.social•28 days ago

Nah he wouldn't do that he's just bluffing.... Oh s***

coastsideobserver.bsky.social•28 days ago

Americans are just as perplexed.

inselwanderer.bsky.social•28 days ago

We don't wake up saying we should go "after Canada," we wake up saying we should go "to Canada."

cycliszt.bsky.social•28 days ago

Easy.
Because a son of a bitch is always a son of a bitch.

donnad308.bsky.social•28 days ago

Honest to God. That guy is deranged 😞🤦🏻‍♀️

truthmatters101.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yet all Americans just sit there and do nothing to stop their Nazi leader 🤡

hapynobody.bsky.social•28 days ago

Half the time, no one remembers we're here.

hankhoffmanct.bsky.social•28 days ago

Your paper should have this insanity & Musk’s coup at Treasury as glaring headlines on both its hard copy front page and website. But it doesn’t.

mdavey10.bsky.social•28 days ago

Pissing off our allies while cozying up to dictators. Trumps America First is worse than the original pro-Nazi version

bluedotteacher.bsky.social•28 days ago

Yes this American is perplexed and livid about this.

graced61.bsky.social•28 days ago

We need new trading partners and allies. This relationship is definitely not working and far too imbalanced. 🇨🇦

mlrich24.bsky.social•25 days ago

No there aren’t but no one will do or say anything against Trump’s hard power grabs until/if it hits their pocketbooks. Human right? Meh $$$ They suddenly care.

sprather3.bsky.social•28 days ago

Trudeau said, "Canada has stable, democratic institutions." We did too before Trump.

4legsrgood.bsky.social•28 days ago

Every reporter on capitol hill should be hunting down R state senators and asking if they support this nonsense.

Because Canada is going to be targeting them.

jamesbakerstudio.bsky.social•28 days ago

Quite the opposite. Canada has been the perfect neighbor: polite, considerate, and a great host when their wild neighbors from south of their border visit.

Trump made a big mistake. In a week, US automakers will start shutting down plants for lack of parts made in Canada. We didn't want this fight, but we will not lose it.

diamondlifeca.bsky.social•28 days ago

I can’t wait to see those MAGA tears.

erikdeboer.bsky.social•28 days ago

As always, they will going to blame someone else for it. It’s classic.
