- Doubt
- I’ll never, ever, ever, forgot how the US is behaving right now. They’re never more than 4 years from being this shitty, we cannot ever rely on or trust any deal they might try and make.
- How about those Epstein files?
Carney: “We’re not going to do anything about it for the benefit of the economy.”
Ron Howard: “The economy being his closest billionaire friends.”
On number 2, I won’t either. The whole lot of them too, even the ‘good ones’ are running excuses now. It’s getting that bad they’re starting to blame our countries for not sanctioning them. Don’t they get fucking wild when you tell them to stay home and fix their problem.
For years they took shots at us about our reasonable gun laws, socialist oppression, lack of Fr3ed0m…now they’re bending over taking it, we have to be understanding.
This is Trump’s way to divert the world from the Iran quagmire he got himself into.
The Epstein files.
and the pdf files
He’s mad Spain photoshopped him out of the team photo yesterday and we’re the closest to his reach.
Trump to hit
CanadaAmericans with new 50% tarrif on Canadian goods.FTFY. Mexico didn’t pay for the wall, Americans did. Canada doesn’t pay the tarrifs, Americans do.
There’s no wall
Your statement is contrary to factual reality which can be physically verified. Trump built 705 km of new primary barrier in his first term. Biden actually ended up adding to the wall after initially stopping construction. Since Trump’s second term, wall construction has restarted with plans to complete the wall before the end of his term. None of this construction has been financed by Mexico.
The length of the US/Mexico border is over 3000km.
A few useless barriers isn’t a fucking wall.
Sure but as prices increase people purchase less Canadian goods, so still hurts us.
Maybe there will be fewer purchases. But only if a few conditions have been met:
- there is an alternative product; and
- buyers can switch to the alternative product; and
- the alternative has characteristics that make it more desirable than the Canadian product once prices rise from tarrifs;
Or
- people can choose to not buy a product at all.
If the Canadian products are still the cheapest (or cheap enough), better enough in some other quality (e.g. not diarrhea inducing?), if buyers are locked into long-term supply agreements, or if people just need the product because there are no alternatives and not buying isn’t an option, then tariffs don’t impact total sales for those products directly.
It would be interesting to see a breakdown of the tarrifed goods against how elastic the demand for them is.
Ok
Toddler having another tantrum.
Anyways…
Bring back the digital services tax.
I’m ready to start banning US corporate donors now.
Oh, you donated to Trump, sorry Apple, 100% tariff. Sorry Meta, you’re banned.
Fuck it.
I’m ready to start banning US corporate donors now.
Plenty of people started doing that when the list of corporate donors to Trump’s re-election was made public.
Oh, you donated to Trump, sorry Apple, 100% tariff. Sorry Meta, you’re banned.
Don’t forget Tesla and Twitter.
“The Court’s 6-3 decision determined that the 1977 IEEPA law does not grant the executive branch the authority to levy tariffs, emphasizing that the power to tax and impose duties rests exclusively with Congress under Article I of the Constitution.”
That was in February, I swear that any Republican whom thinks he isn’t anti republic is hiding their head in the dirt.

Essentially Trump is pulling the exact same farce, just with a different law this time.
I think it’s time to start allowing Canadian corn whisky to be called “bourbon”.
This would be so funny, the fit that would cause would be awesome to behold.
If NAFTA ends, so does the special naming. It’s in there.
Dope.
You mostly hear about the tariff rules, but it’s true that there is a lot more in there.
It’s sold as bourbon style whiskey. Better than that Kentucky turpentine.
The best response to unpredictable neighbours: Canada needs to diversify, maintain strong internal unity, and to focus on relentless self-reliance. Canada has goods the world wants. If the US doesn’t want them Canada can and should go elsewhere.
Trump. Rapes. Children.
Smoke and mirrors. Don’t look up.
exempting “energy, potash, critical minerals and fish” is interesting. I wonder if a possible strategy would be to put limits on those just above the current export amount, just to demonstrate that we could.
When does Canada impose tariffs on America for their vile, insidious, invasive wildfire smoke from Oregon, Ohio and California needlessly gassing poor innocent Canadians?
Sheesh, we can write crap sensationalistic stuff too ya know.
no need to tariff the US, just support production here in Canada for actual small Canadian businesses
the auto sector doesn’t need any more help, for example

Good. Double it. Triple it. Cut off all trade.
