It at least shows how piss weak these people are when it comes to feeding their disgusting greed.
Finally some populism I can get behind.
This is the way. Canada should keep making these kinds of moves to hurt the oligarchs, not the country they claim to be part of.
Musk has proven his goal is to interfere with politics on a global level, not just here in the US.
Canada will be more efficient without the Musk.
It is interesting to see that Canadian apathy has suddenly turned into a united stand for Canada.
I heard a 10 year old kid in the store yesterday, "Dad, can I get this? I checked , it is made in Canada"
It sucks it has come to this.
Doug Ford is a douche, but he is enough of a douche to not be politically correct in terms of relations with the USA.
I wish I was Canadian
I don't, but that's mostly because I like having very good Internet access and I'm European.
If I was USian, I'd wish I was Canadian.

I will go out buy a case of Molson Canadian or Labatt's.
As an American I support this message.
Isnt a contract something that you get in trouble for ripping up and not paying? Like that's the definition of a contract
Depends on the contract and the clauses. We dont know what it says or how its worded.

If the penalty is less than the increased tarrifs then they're still saving money

What's Elon going to do? March up there to Ontario and throw a tantrum on the steps of the capitol building? He can take them to court in Canada, but that would take years.
Yes, he will take them to court. He might take them to court in the US. Where was the contract signed?
If they have any assets in the US, those could get frozen. Or if they do business in the US, those transactions could get seized.

Doug Ford is basically Julien getting out of jail and chasing Cyrus out of the trailer park.
And Iβm all for it.
I know Ford makes bad decisions, but I am all for this decision. Punched right at the core of the problem.
It's nice in theory, but if there's already a contract, who much is it going to cost to get out of it? You can't just "rip it up" and then act like it never existed.
Also, Ford has already backtracked on this with the 30 day extension on the tariffs.

I peeked into conservative subs, and people are cheering βowningβ Canada for not treating us fairly.
β¦WTF? Has this been going on for a while?
Other than family with some Canadian ties, the only real sentiment Iβve heard before the inauguration was is that Canadians are overly polite, even among conservative family. The fentanyl thing seemsβ¦ what?

Any conservative forum is an enforced circlejerk.
Has been for a decade.
The fentanyl thing seems⦠what?
Like a blatant fucking lie?
This whole bullshit trade war is based on Trump lying. About everything.
Keep in mind that a lot of "conservative" opinions are bought and paid for... They literally hire people to spread propaganda and stir shit up, around the world. For example, https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/poilievre-ballingall-conservative-leadership-canada-proud-1.6433088
