There may be a method to the madness.

Or is may simply be madness.

I know where my bet goes.

Mark Carney is not the only one with that opinion.

Trump's not saying he's canceling them, he's just pausing them. Why reward this bullshit baby behaviour?

Exactly. That's why the current counter-tariffs stay, and only the scheduled phase 2 is on hold for now.

There's alreqdy examples in those history books of the previous times the Americans tried to take land that is part of Canada.

Manifest destiny is a very old American mantra.

Pausing tariffs on some Canadian goods.

A pause isn't good enough.

And doing it on an partial list is not good enough.

Yeah, but they've been claiming it was just a joke.

We know better, of course, but that was what they were pretending.

Don't be manifesting that into existence.

So Cons get a free flight/hotel/food trip to Washington and don't bother showing up to work?

They were too busy with "sensitive negotiations" at a strip bar downtown...

I would prefer that Americans to stay and fix their own country, yes.

But I also understand and sympathize with marginalized and vulnerable populations (including but not limited to: LGBT folks, racial minorities and women) wanting to move somewhere safer.

Bob Ezrin, for those who don't what to click on a youtube link.

contingent of removal of all tariffs.

And keeping them off.

 

The chaotic on again/off again bullshit is even harder on the economy and business than the actual tariffs.

And cut out the 51st state bullshit.

As for the loser's claims, American guns are a much bigger problem in Canada than Mexican cartels.

And most of the guns the Mexican cartels use in Mexico come from the US as well.

That subreddit is nothing more than an echo chamber. If you express an even slightly reasonable view, you get banned.

The only way for dissenting opinions to be expressed is with the downvote button, and even then most reasonable people avoid going there because it's so frustrating to read.

It can be both.

Thank you.

It's annoying that they won't sell directly to Canada.

Edit: but please edit your post so the period at the end doesn't become part of the clickable link.

As usual, Trump opened his mouth and lies flowed out.

I think the EU should consider sanctions on select oligarchs from the US.

I can suggest one such oligarch, Elon Musk

All of the billionaires who were mugging for the camera at the inauguration.

Ties that look a lot like puppet strings.

As Trudeau said at the top of his speech yesterday:

So today the United States launched a trade war against Canada, their closest partner and ally, their closest friend. At the same time, they’re talking about working positively with Russia, appeasing Vladimir Putin, a lying, murderous dictator.

Make that make sense.

got to strategically tariff so it hurts US but with minimal impact on Canada.

Yup.

That's why the initial list of counter-tariffs were specifically chosen to hit the overlap of red states and things we make ourself, or can easily get elsewhere, or can comfortably do without for an extended period of time.
