It's not obvious to me that Trump has leverage against Canada right now. The incumbent government is paying no price is for playing maximum hardball. In fact it's benefitted them greatly. How often in politics do you get to risk harm to your economy without electoral cost?

They'll be 3 months into their offensive when they realize they captured Anchorage.
Our voting districts are gerrymandered and compromised, our junta leader admitted to using musk for election interference, and our “opposition party” is telling us to get over it.
You’d be surprised at how many of us hate the bastard.
Just not enough of you.
You were outnumbered by Trump voters, and more significantly, indifferent non-voters.
Embarrassed doesn't even explain how we feel. Y'all have more balls than anyone in DC. Clowns running Washington who think their 💩 doesn't stink say things like doesn't Canada realize how this is going to screw up their economy.
Canada: yep and 🖕🖕🖕
( Go 🇨🇦)
Decrease oil production and make us pay more for Canadian oil. We deserve to experience consequences.
It’s the only way.

That single winner narcissistic bs really doesn’t work.
Who we talkin bout?
One on one the US economy will probably win.
Against everyone their economy fails first.
Also, incentives everyone to divert their trade to each other instead
A tit for tat strategy mostly leads to second mover winning (and everyone losing while the fuckers are playing stupid games)
His poll numbers are dropping almost as fast as Tesla’s stock price.
However, logic and common sense don't apply to this asshole who is accompanied by Fox News and an entire right-wing media empire.
As we plunge into a depression, many will be brainwashed that America is on the fast track to greatness.
Who is his target? Canada? Does he want to weaken them to get something? Is his target the US? Does he want to weaken the economy to the extent that it becomes an emergency and then he uses emergency powers to completely take over? Both?
Canadians I've spoken to are preparing for invasion
Canada and the US have had free trade since 1989 and I wasn't aware that Canada has restricted rare earth metals from the US, or any deal that he attempted to promote that Canada ultimately declined? Maybe he wants exclusive mining rights?

I think the only choice is to decouple and try to protect Canada from the vile cancer killing the US. They let greed destroy their democracy and we'll suffer the same fate if we stay close to them.
But even before then William Seward and Charles Sumner tried to annex Canada
And before that there was James Madison's laughable invasion attempts
And before that the American colonies during the Revolution
This whole thing has become a 4-dimensional onion - I pity the future scholars attempting to write US history books for the 2020's.
We Love 🇨🇦
Fuck 🇺🇲
I mean, we share a border with Denmark and France. It seems logical.
Its becouse TDS
In 2023, the United States exported approximately $15.67 billion worth of motor vehicles to Canada.
In 2023, the United States imported approximately $34.9 billion worth of cars from Canada, accounting
Nope...seem Trump have case
And the auto industry is so integrated across all of North America it’s a poor metric to use for comparison.
Nothing personal.
It’s changed the game.
I mean, with enemies like these, who needs friends?
But Justin now has a LOT of friends.
Electoral pressure will be a complete non-factor in their decision-making. They simply don't plan to ever give up power.

Some #Fox News anchors are starting to criticize him too.
Let’s hope old Rupert finally realizes the danger he helped to unleash.
This is not revelatory.
In the long term, this will destroy America's economy.
Like a tsunami, it looks harmless at first, until the power of it finally hits in force.
Tariffs benefit no country when used as economic weapons.
This is not normal politics and the popularity of a government means little when it's in exile.
The moment Putin thinks he doesn't need him, he'll drop drumpf like a hot potato.
Do we hold a byelection so he can Lead the Government? or save some money and hold a General Election? (must be called be Oct)
Doug Fucking Ford.
It all boils down to a bunch of old asshats with a mental illness that sit around and figure out how they can get more, who cares about the millions of lives that get disrupted.
It’s bullshit
More proof that nobody on the left ever considers human motivations and has ABSOLUTELY no idea of what negotiations look like.
Maybe that’s why your go to argument style is to cover your ears and scream. 😜 So funny here on BS. I pop in daily for laughs!
See you tomorrow!
You could be worth a follow (if this were not BS).
Trump is now our biggest enemy, and the US is now our biggest security risk.
There is zero chance that this doesn't hit the US economy. It already is.

It's like announcing you're going to divorce.
The "fun" part comes later...
His rich (much more than him) "friends" already told him to back down.

Don’t overthink it.
Also screw any invite to Mar-a-lago to kiss the ring
Our friends up north are pissed at being mocked and rightfully so.
We need Right to Repair legislation to create small repair businesses.
And we need looser patent rules to allow Cdn production of needed medicine, tools and technology.
As a Canadian American, I’m all for it
If the US is suddenly irrational and dangerous, what’s left of NATO is fighting a war on two fronts.
Entirely possible there’s some sort of “Russia and US each take half of Europe” deal.
This what Trudeau has done to him twice now 😂
Also the “Maple MAGA“ movement is collapsing pretty rapidly as they get a clear look at Trump.
1) prevent smuggling from Canada to the US
2) prevent Canada exploiting its unfair trade advantage over the US
3) to liberate the people of Canada from its tyrannical government
I hope that this unwarranted scare mongering
Point 2-- he never did explain this and we all know he's full of shot
Point 3- real rich from a guy who's outlawed free speak
#elbowsup
Genius
He's also threatened Gaza people with death.
His time is limited for sure.
And I mean that in the way of not just rolling over like the republicans did for MAGA to ensure they dont get voted out.
