Keep boycotting US goods, people. Even if no tariff comes to pass, we need to swing away from our dependence on US trade.
Hell, I want to boycott US goods and I’m an American living in America!
I’ve been trying to de-billionaire my life lately. The strategy at the moment for spending money is:
Buy nothing, if possible. Then buy used, if I have to spend money. If I can’t buy used, then buy local. If I can’t buy local, then buy Canadian or Mexican.
Buy Canadian. Our beer and whisky is better anyway.
Dont let your dreams be dreams.
I wanted a hamburger. Instead I ordered chicken Tikka Masala. I think that’s about all that’s in my power to do at this point…
I had Schnitzel instead of chicken-fried steak.
SMAE!
Buying Canadian just got 25% easier!
I hope the various provinces continue to not shelve US alcohol. Trump said he was pausing the tariffs. When he says he’s canceling them, then ease off.
All that noise lol.
First tariffs on “day 1” , then Feb 1, then Feb 4, now Mar 1. I wonder how much more credibility he even has left on this.
Trump and friends are just pumping and dumping the stock markets.
They let you do it if you’re a billionaire.
That’s just the fringe benefit. The real aim was to distract from the plane crashes he caused with his mismanagement of the FAA, and the half dozen agencies that have been hijacked by people without security clearance
Canada should keep imposing the Tariffs until March.
Trump didn’t expect Canada to hit back, so he is unprepared for the fallout. If Canada also pauses until March, Trump will use the time to prepare and he’ll reimpose the Tariffs in marchMy thoughts, exactly.
This move was simple intelligence gathering. Now he knows how the world will respond to this threat. He’s far more prepared to do it for real the next time.
Canada should hold their ground and call his bluff. Make him suffer for just the idea of threatening us.
I’m an American in a blue state and I voted for Kamala. I fully support this!
Yeah I’m still never knowingly buying another US product ever again. Fuck them.
He backed down like the weak nepo baby he his
And… Trump blinked.
Sort of, I’d say he winced. He still got a stronger boarder which was something he was wanting (cause Canada is the problem /s) but obviously the trade deficit didn’t change.
We’ll truly know if he is blinking if he follows through on the tariffs in a month. I just hope Canada (and others) wake up and realise they can’t depend on the US anymore. They should diversify themselves as much as possible as quickly as possible
The increase in border security spending was announced back in December. The only real change announced today is that Canada will now stick the bogus title of Fentanyl Czar on someone. Oh, and the fact that Canadians now will actively avoid any American products. Great job mango Mussolini.
For the record, a trade deficit is not a bad thing, Trump is just obsessed with it because he’s an idiot.
Border.
And he didn’t get a “stronger border”, he got Canada to pretend to take a non-problem seriously.
Myself and a lot of other Canadians have already started avoiding American goods, even before these tarrifs were set to go into place
I can’t wait until Trudeau makes an innocent joke and Trump bans him from his communities.
Once again… Trump bent the knee.
Trump is on both knees taking it up the ass, while sucking the cocks of billionaires as they rob us blind of our government information and money.
Sorry for that ugly visual.
Sorry for that ugly visual.
You are not forgiven. You’re not wrong. But you’re also not forgiven.
Gonna be agonizing to live through 4+ years of this bullshit. We need to run them scared out of here.
Nicely done, Canada.
Not sure this was a Canadian win? We had to commit a billion to border security and USA had to commit to status quo for 30 days.
I get it now, 10000 Mexican troops on the US border with Mexico, 1000 times more fentanyl seized along the Southern border, so that means ten Canadians deployed along the Northern border. Easy!
I know it is applying logic to where there is none but…
In what world does it benefit trump, project 2025, and putin for Canada to have 10k more troops on the border?
It shows them that he’s a strong leader who can get other world leaders to do what he wants. He made a threat, and Canada reacted by doing something he demanded. It’s incredibly stupid, and will be completely ineffective, but the show of strength is the important part.
Entertainment for his cultists. They like seeing troops on the border. More importantly, they’re tearing down the global economy on purpose so they can remake it as they please. If Trump gets his demands met, he knows he can go farther next time. If not, things collapse and his accelerationist billionaire buddies are happy.
Because Trump can claim he beat Canada.
Trudeau should take one for the team and fuck Melania.
Now now now… look, you can hate Trudeau all you like, but that’s no excuse to make him have sex with that undead corpse in funeral dress.
Think about it though next time Trump wants to impose tariffs Trudeau can release the Melania tapes.
I was going to ask whether that would be a good idea, then I recalled your username… yeah that checks out.
There isn’t. He just didn’t want to look weak.
After the announcement of tariffs, world markets saw Canada and China’s markets drop a couple points and the US’s surged a couple of points.
If you knew that market shift was coming and had a few billion in international markets and sold while the US surged, you made a shitload of money (at least, “shitload of money” from my perspective, because I’m a poorsie).
I remember a time when this would be considered a conspiracy theory.
Ah, those were simpler days.
I know a day when this would be considered insider trading… poor Martha, went to jail for nothing.
China next?
Tell me lies, tell me sweet little lies…
So that would give Canada and Mexico to diversify and find alternative markets after Trump capitulated.
That would also give Trump time to find alternative markets to prepare to reimpose the tariffs
So what happens after the 15th time Trump does this?
