Trump wants Canada - period. He is starting with destabilizing the economy. Forget it! Canadians have stopped buying American products and travelling to the 🇺🇸. Trump we 🇨🇦‘S have long memories!
Trump will continue to beat up on Canada and Mexico until we are "greatful" for the beatings. At this point we (Canada) should try our best to form other trade avenues so his economic measures are less effective.
Canada could start by selling its oil and fertiliser to other countries. Plus, everything else that Americans don't think they need to import by really do.
I find that I am okay with that. Cut off everything. Will it hurt us? Yes, but it will only make us move more quickly to other markets. We must never allow ourselves to be beholden to the US again.
I wonder how many pounds of guns come into Canada illegally from USA? I wonder how many Canadians have died as a direct result of US being unwilling to regulate their firearms OR manage their border? A beefed up Canadian border is now a wise and timely investment ... against America.
We used to say things with pride like "worlds longest undefended border" or " Americas only true friend" how Naive we were.When you sleep with an elephant they will eventually roll over. We don't know what we did to our friends to deserve this.All we know is that are friends is now a threat.
This particular round of tariffs supposedly is in relation to the near non-existent fentanyl and immigrants coming into the US from Canada. Our step up at the border has resulted in some large seizures of drugs coming into Canada from the US, as well as immigrants coming into Canada from the US /1
Drugs and guns from the US entering Canada illegally has been an issue for decades, with zero interest from the US in dealing with this. Since the US thinks the US borders Canada's responsibility (and we are paying to monitor their border) and since 90% of illegal guns in Canada are from the US /2
...Canada should fine the US $5M for each US gun and pound of US drugs caught at the border and guns pulled off the streets as a way to recoup the costs of being made responsible for what the US can't (won't) do to protect their own borders
He doesn't seem to understand how deals work. His idea of making a deal looks quite similar to bullying. He should read a book about deals and maybe get some deal-making training from someone who's good at it.
Foolish statement - "“Tariffs are easy, they’re fast, they’re efficient, and they bring fairness,” Trump said. He described the levies as a “a powerful weapon” that other presidents had not used because “they were dishonest, stupid or paid off in some other form”."
Anyone in the USA still supporting Trump really is an idiot, aren't they. The markets are now crashing in value, prices for US consumers are about to rocket & for what?
We know what, little Russian asset Trump is undermining the health & stability of the USA under orders & the GOP are letting him.
And that's why this is happening. The trumpy scum are sadists. Their primary form of sexual gratification is inflicting pain and suffering upon those that their master has declared to be "the enemy", which basically means anyone that doesn't beg and plead to suck the poisonous orange mushroom.
And the truly ironic thing is that even those at the lowest levels of the trumpy pyramid will also suffer right along side "the enemy", despite their plainly stated desire to suck the poisonous orange mushroom.
To their masters, they're just as disposable as we are.
As a US citizen I say, screw us good. The only way Maga could possibly wake up is to make this painful. 100% on tesla, 50% surcharge on energy. I try to by nothing but even with a tarrif I'll try to buy Canadian is possible
