The US/Canada Trade War
You must log in or # to comment.
The trade war wasn’t against Canada or Mexico or the world … it was directly against the American people and according to the belligerent, the American government is winning.

You are correct. The “leaders” don’t. The majority of Americans are also disillusioned into hating people not responsible at all for the struggles they have to face. The soverignty of nations should be respected, but that hasn’t, historically, been the American way either.

And the White House burned, burned, burned
And we’re the one’s that did it!
It burned, burned, burned
While the president ran and cried
It burned, burned, burned
And things were very historical
And the Americans ran and cried like a bunch of little babies
Waa waa waah!
In the War of 1812!Everybody loves Canada. We’ll be cheering you on if you do it again for the lulz 🤣 (until the nukes start flying and the world ends, anyway) But if you want to do something a bit less incendiary, DJI drones aren’t geofenced anymore so maybe dropping a nice Canadian flag 🇨🇦 on top of the white house would make a clear point, with clear historical precedent!
(Sigh. Please come back to your senses soon, USA.)
according to the belligerent, the American government is winning.
And according to objective reality, the American government is being destroyed by a traitorous enemy agent and an unelected kleptocrat.
As a Canadian - I don’t want to fight the US indefinitely. Our countries are much better off together than apart and everyone with any economic training knows it. I really like a lot of Americans, and they like me. I have had multiple Americans apologize and insult the Trump administration in the strongest language possible. I absolutely know this trade war and abuse from Trump et al. is not what my friends even remotely want.
But your government right now is intolerable. So I’m very much in support of this wave of Canadian national indignation and FAFO but I hope it doesn’t last for long. As long as it takes, but the quicker our two countries return to cooperation the better for citizens of both nations. Even if everyone wanted to, decades of steadfast alliance cannot be undone cleanly and would likely leave our two nations weaker for it.
Id argue we need to pull away from US economic dependence. Doesnt have to be all or nothing, but coupling your economy to another this deeply is risky by default.
We need to diversify as much as we can. I know it isnt easy or simple, but in the long run it might be best.
So much for, “Trade wars are good, and easy to win.”
Also he showed us is that his goal is to fuck up US and the West.
It doesn’t even look like incompetence, but pure malice.
From what I understand, it’s that when he looks at various agreements he doesn’t understand how to work with countries to mutually improve.
It has been said a few times now that he only sees agreements as having a winner and a loser. In his eyes, a win-win means one side could have done better.
Zero sum game. A life philosophy for assholes.
This is it. And even after lying, cheating, and stealing his way through life he still managed to bankrupt seven businesses including a casino. If he had put his inheritance in a market index fund he’d be fabulously wealthy. Instead he’s been pretending to be a billionaire for 40 years.
The funny thing is, after all that, he finally is a billionaire for real because of truth social of all things.
If they’re so easy to win, that means the other guy can do it too
So anyways, as an American, I think the United States of Canada has a nice ring to it…eh? (Did I do that right?)
It would have been better to end with, “Sorry, I hope I did that right?”
which new provinces would you be willing to accept?
Which ever one was willing to get rid of all the handguns.
Yeah, we don’t want them (American states) either.
The US folded? Can someone send me an article about it because DDG isn’t providing
This maybe?
Canada’s initial retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. will remain in place despite President Donald Trump postponing 25% tariffs on many imports from Canada for a month, two senior Canadian government officials said.
What is DDG?

Thinking that they’re just doing anything they can to crash the stonks so they can buy low… Agree? Guess it doesn’t matter if the market never recovers and nobody wants to do business with the US
I really thought Donny ‘two scoops’ was gonna play HARD BALL! I guess not.
