They should have made it 26%. Trump wouldn't be able to resist upping it to 27%, and they could just spend a day reaching the logical, yet stupid, conclusion to this mess.
American here.
Don't counter with tarrifs. Counter with embargoes. Trump loaded you a gun and handed it to you. Pull the fucking trigger already.
We're doing both. Both BC and Ontario are cutting off American Booze. That's gonna hurt American company's hard.
My hope if Trump keeps it up we cut off the power, and better yet the gas. Although that might make him try to invade or something.
Up next will be him calling Canadians Nazis and trying to annex Quebec.
I wonder how long Trump and his buddies are going to be able to ignore the mess they are making of the stock market now which hurts his businesses world supporters. It certainly is going to hurt US car companies hard.
This is all on purpose to tank the American economy and put the country in such chaos that Trump can call an emergency, suspend the constitution indefinitely and the GOP can stay in power. All the while there will be a mass redistribution of wealth so great to the already rich that everyone else will be destitute.
Don't worry comrade! This is all for the promise of making 'merica great, again! Even if market indicators under Biden were all pointing in fantastic directions, this will be even better, at some unstated time in the future, and you won't have any of that WOKEMINDVIRUS or brown people speaking funny languages or that one trans athlete to deal with no more.
I'm sure the Kamala timeline would have been Just As Bad (TM).
Well you know, we have Trump to think for that ceasefire that Israel has already violated
If this escalates, wait until Canada decides to stop buying US made weapon systems. It will be expensive and time consuming to retrain, but the US is not a reliable defense partner under the neo-Nazi GOP. The US MIC must see the writing on the wall.
Isn't it great that a narcissistic jackass with no understanding of economics is Duning-Krogering all to death?
As an American, I'm rooting for Canada.
But this all feels very by design of Putin to fracture US alliances.
I’m so upset at my Canadian family members who supported Trump.
I got an uncle who was constantly saying he supports trump cause he’ll “run the country the country like a business” - i don’t think either trump or him actually understand business all that well.
I hope Canadian-European relations get stronger, and hopefully Canadian-American relations will be rebuilt once this fucker is gone
So from the conservative viewpoint, what is the rationale for the tariffs? Are people really supposed to believe it has something to do with fentanyl? Like do conservatives actually believe that or is there some other narrative besides Donald Trump is looking to flex his power?
