Summary

Donald Trump launched a trade war against Canada by imposing a 25% tariff on nearly all Canadian goods, including a 10% levy on energy products.

His action, intended to pressure Canada to curb fentanyl flows, contradicts official trade figures and ignores that most deficits result from American demand for cheaper Canadian oil.

The tariffs, set to remain until Canada complies, could cost billions to Canada’s economy and disrupt $800 billion in annual trade.

Canada is expected to retaliate, forcing Prime Minister Trudeau to respond amid escalating cross-border tensions.

              As a squid, fuck all of you who live above the ocean. Won’t even let me fly out of the water in peace without one of you mammaling all over the place or whatever.

          I think your name in Nahuatl is Mazaxayacatl. Mazatl (deer) + Xayacatl (face/mask) = Mazaxayacatl.

          Use that information as you see fit.

            Okay.

            As a side note, nobody draw a circle in the woods and chant that name three times under moonlight. I’ll probably be asleep, so suddenly teleporting into the woods in the middle of the night will be very annoying and make me cross.

        I’m also a dual citizen, and as soon as people find that out, all they want to talk about is “your president”, as if I voted for the motherfucker. I’ve lived in Canada for 16 years and will never go back to that shithole, and everybody wants me to take responsibility for what D-bag does. I didn’t vote for him, I don’t live in the US, and all they want to do is yell at me every time he does something idiotic (which is of course every single day). Needless to say I stopped telling people where I’m from. I’ve gotten really good at the Canadian accent, I sound like I was born & raised on the Prairies. Nobody could pick me out… except for the fact that I don’t have a German surname and I’m not Mennonite
