Double it, Mark!
Thump Trump
It’s Friday, I’m sure it’ll be fine by Monday…
Taco is gonna taco
Would you say Taco may flip-flop-o?
Carney starts looking at those bonds…
As if these taxes never backfire back to the consumer. It’s like a national sport in Canada. Raise taxes, mask it with fancy words as if you’re taxing corporations then when push comes to shove, like what happened during covid, bail out the very same corporations instead of thousands of unemployed and unhoused.
There’s no point raising prices, as if employees aren’t going to pass that on to their employers by demanding higher wages. Why do companies always try to increase their profits by raising prices?
Honestly, it’s simply futile to seek compromises with this tyrannical government. Like all bullies, nothing is enough for them. They will keep on taking from you until you clap back.
I think it’s appropriate to note here that during his first term, Trump tore up NAFTA and negotiated his own trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Now, just a few years later, he’s torn that one up too. If I were a country considering negotiating a trade agreement with him, I’d keep in mind that any agreement struck could evaporate on his whim.
The solution is to simply not “negotiate” with terrorists. Just make decisions that financially damage them and their cronies, while forming close relationships with non-terrorist states.
Exactly.
Why waste time and effort trying to come to an agreement with a regime that routinely lies and has a history of breaking agreements they previously made?
Not just effort. Negotiating trade agreements with the states have always involved giving concessions that mean enacting legislation that deliberately hurts Canadian industries and/or consumers in return for low cost access to their markets. If they are going to be unreliable, we should not be hurting ourselves in hopes that they will play by their own rules.
Not sure why Canada even bothered. Trump is clearly unpredictable and untrustworthy. He’ll go back on his word at the drop of a hat.
I think it’s for show. “Look, we tried. The problem isn’t Canada.”
Yes. This manufactures consent among us for harsher actions that would hurt us more in the short term.
We didn’t want to, we elected a government specifically to not attempt it
Yeah it is called TACO, Trump Always Chickens Out.
Canada should increase it in response. Then drop the mic.
Yes please do this Canada
He’ll soon be crawling back to negotiations like a bird on its belly, crowing the entire time that whatever idiotic thing he is going to do has brought Canada to heel. Sad. Weak. Trump always chickens out.
This mother fucker is so exhausting.
Smash us with tarrifs. Refuse entry to all politicians. I dare say hold back the maple syrup.
The (very real) Maple Syrup Mafia would not be happy if they could not sell to the US. They should really start working at other markets.
Like meth?
Sure like breaking bad meth, but in Canada so it is maple syrup instead.

TACO!
Canada needs to build about 400 nuclear warheads as part of our NATO rearmament commitments, then we need to cut off all energy and resource exports to them.
If we could only pull that off without being preemptively “defended” against… I don’t think them fuckers would sit tight while we make a nuke. I think the only way we pull this off is if we could buy or “host” European nukes which must happen in total secrecy and extremely quickly from conception to deployment.
Make that a medium term measure while we develop our own. We have the resources and technology to build it quickly.
Just cause the US has dropped two nukes (accidentally and unarmed) on Canada does not mean we need to arm up.
On the contrary. Become like Switzerland, neutral and too big of a mouthful to chew on.
“Please tax us more as long as it makes the orange man mad”. You people are crazy.
If Carney really wanted to stick it to Trump and help Canadians at the same time, he could change piracy laws to decriminalize pirating US content or better yet anything other than Canadian content. But nope, he wants us to pay more for the privilege of having US data grace our routers and phones.
Some people are okay with giving up their personal comfort to work against fascists. It’s called having a spine.
Why was OP banned for posting a Reuters link? Or did a mod edit this post somehow after the fact?
Oh okay, i only looked at this community’s modlog and was a bit confused. That makes more sense.
