It might be, we don't know all the details yet (they called it an irritant) but so far all these global tariffs have disproportionally hurt Canada more than other countries. I can see the US smoothing things over with others but keeping this as a point of contention with Canada.

But if it is the last barrier to reaching an agreement, how long will the rest of Canada support Quebec? This is being done to test our confederacy.

Edit: Not supporting Trump, just being realistic about his intentions.

Trump is using this to cause a crisis in Canada. Quebec objects, the ROC 1) may grow impatient with an agreement not being made. 2) IF the ROC rallies behind Quebec, the US will use it forever to justify tariffs.

Dirty tactics.

They have at different points in history. Maybe we're due.

Also, why do they get to talk like that when they're threatening their owm neighbours and former allies.

Yes!

I feel it comes down to money as always. The modern world works on markets, not nationalism.

It's why these ideas get floated around without consequence. Business just ignores the ideas it till it impacts the bottom line. Then they make whatever changes are best for them, very seldom are the changes made for principles or morals.

The US knows this. They attack Canada without declaring war to convince businesses to invest in the US instead of Canada. It works for the most part, tragically.

"Everybody hated the Nazis but not enough had a problem doing business with them though."

Edit: Canada will be alright. We're bringing down interprovincial trade batriers. It'll help gets projects done all across the country. Out word is gold as well. We keep our promises, unlike the US who don't realise how destructive breaking all their agreements really is. It makes sense to invest in Canada. We just have to show that to the rest of the world.

I hate the ones that say "Claps back at..."

Merch in general for me.

Vance "Denmark hasn't done enough for Greenland"

Also Vance "We need your eggs cause our prices has skyrocketed for some reason."

If that day comes that'll be it for me and Reddit.

So do something then, other than just complaining about it.

If I was the US military I'd be troubled by the fact the President doesn't recognize how irresponsible and dangerous this all is.

"Top democrats shout at wall."

Vance was in the chat too.

Because greed allows us to ignore the fact we aren't accounting for the limits of this planet. We get to use greed to justify complete moral abandon, which in today's world can be really damaging. A few people are getting rich atm by tearing the world apart, it won't lead to good things.

But our system isn't designed to communicate the good around you to you, it's the opposite pretty much. The good is there it just doesn't brag, or shout or mock. It's quiet but it spreads. But you know when is is gone. It is conspicuous in its absence

What about their threats to a G7 ally? Does that contribute to the dropoff too?

The people who bought them don't appreciate them working for other people.
