Summary

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denounced Trump’s sudden 25% tariffs, warning they threaten American jobs and will inflate consumer costs.

He revealed that Trump refuses to take his calls and sharply criticized claims linking tariffs to illegal immigration and fentanyl crossing U.S. borders.

In retaliation, Canada and Mexico imposed matching tariffs, targeting crucial American exports like auto parts, agriculture, and red-state staples like famous Kentucky bourbon.

Trudeau warned American factories may shut, citing integrated supply chains.

      I don’t feel bad for the companies; I feel for the poor bastard that has to scrape it off.

        They can just take their sweet, sweet time to take them off, time they get paid for. Probably more relaxing too.

        I used to be a pump jockey, I personally wouldn’t have minded. Thats just my take of course.
