In his news conference today, Trudeau said Canada will hold firm and push ahead with retaliatory tariffs and other measures until Trump backs off entirely.
I am happy to hear that we are still going forward with our measures regardless of what Trump does until what Trump does is fuck off.
It’s gonna be lifelong for me, even if Trunp himself is gone, the deranged ideology remains. There will eventually be a successor. All the more reason for Canada to decouple, disengage and diversify away from the US, cause at any time a new one could come in and maybe they aren’t as dumb as Trump.
Ironic that we’ll likely have tariffs on the US for longer than they’ll have them on us.
I can’t believe I’ve been baited into supporting tariffs but I agree with the current course of action. No flip flopping, no accepting ‘pauses’.
Yep because their word (or signature on international trade agreements) is meaningless.
The uncertainty from going back and forth is maddening.
Each delay has only come after the tariffs have already started. ‘until he backs off entirely’ is a reasonable ask
Reminds me of the handshake
The US has always been a laughing stock, but to be this embarrassing is something I never expected in my lifetime. Fuck the US - it’s going to take a loooooooong time before anybody can take them seriously ever again.
So much for the master negotiator.
Is anybody surprised this guy can’t keep his policy straight? He can’t even stay on topic for 5 minutes when he talks.
Elbows up. Good work Trudeau and the Canadian Premieres!!
It feels fucking great to be a Canadian!!
FUCK TRUMP.
You pissed up the wrong tree, asshole.
Even when this is over, good luck getting me to buy American products again.
There is going to be a time when our kids and grandkids roll their eyes because we refuse to buy American. It will be fun.
I can’t wait to explain how we almost became American. History books will be interesting.
There’s alreqdy examples in those history books of the previous times the Americans tried to take land that is part of Canada.
Manifest destiny is a very old American mantra.
Unless Trump starts really wildin I doubt any part of his life will make it to the history books.
The fact that he’s been throwing allies under the bus left and right will for sure make it in the history books. An American President who is actively working for Russia is another gem.
This stuff wouldn’t be believable if they were in the movies, yet here we are!
America is just being America. The country has always been volatile and untrustworthy.
Trump isn’t even the worst President based on foreign policy and actions yet because he has yet to invade another sovereign nation under false pretenses like other Presidents have done.
He likes to make threats, but he has also demonstrated himself to be a bitch when things heat up so I doubt he makes a footnote.
The resentment I’ve built up towards America is substantial enough that tariffs or not I’ll be actively avoiding and bad-mouthing American products and businesses for a long time.
I’m still buying US produce when they hit the clearance shelf but I’ve put back far more items than I’ve purchased.
Yeah
I’m not going to resubscribe all the stuff I just canceled.
I’m not moving digital services back.
I’m not going to be supporting their red voting farmers.
If Congress weren’t totally useless they might question the lack of urgency in dealing with the “emergency” Trump used as the basis for the tariffs.
Pausing tariffs on some Canadian goods.
A pause isn’t good enough.
And doing it on an partial list is not good enough.
Oh we’re done with them jerking us around. Today Mango Mao announced new tarrifs but I’m happy about them because they’re on repulsive American milk. The US allows hormones and anti-biotic that Canadian milk does not allow. I don’t want their junk milk products at all. Tarrif that shit away.
Tariffs are on our milk going to the US. What they’re doing doesn’t affect American milk entering Canada negatively or positively. The simplest solution is to just not buy American products at all.
Happy to oblige!!
Good to see, but it will take a tow truck to drag me over the border ever again.
Fool me twice, shame on me. This is stupid and just prolongs uncertainty and economic instability. The Canadian government should make it public that the next round of retaliatory tariffs will have legislated locked-in minimum durations that will double with each re-imposition of US tariffs. Gun on the table, enough with childishness. Trump can troll his citizens all he likes (rather all they allow him to) but international relations are not a circus.
That’s right. Going month to month is no way to do business. The boycott continues and elbows up!!!

Jesus Christ this guy, JUST DO IT ALREADY STOP PUSSYFOOTING AROUND.
He is such an idiot… Fucking Republicans.
