Summary
Canada is preparing to retaliate against Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, which could trigger the largest trade war between the nations in decades.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised counter-tariffs worth $37 billion, with potential for further measures, depending on Trump’s final order.
Canadian officials warn the tariffs could harm both economies, disrupting key sectors like automotive, energy, and agriculture.
Labor leaders expressed concerns over job losses and urged collaboration. Canada hopes to avoid tariffs by highlighting their mutual economic impact to U.S. lawmakers.
I just wish yall decided to have your meltdown -before- Russia turned fascist, got bold, and decided to start shooting wars.
Europe is asleep at the wheel, disarmed themselves a decade ago and are now playing catchup and sitting on their hands with a wait and see attitude. Its a very “Adults have left the room” feeling. New adults are going to have to step up.
At least the Russians are greedy fucking idiots or we’d all be in big trouble
And for a shocking number of EU nations: “Oh hey, your weird street-corner-arms-dealer cousin who hangs out on 4chan a lot says he wants to be ‘man of the house’ now, whaddya think?”
