Just like Trump's tariffs

I sure hope the guy Trump picked to lead the FBI tells him how deeply offended he is by this obvious lack of trust.

And somehow they've spun that as terrorism.

Better to not coordinate. Trump comes up with new problems for Canada on a regular basis, only fair we do the same to him.

The article doesn't mention whether we're moving up tariffs that were supposed to be part of round 2, or adding tariffs to more goods than were originally planned.

Smart for the people relying on stupid people to keep them in power

There's going to be an election this year, so he may not be PM that long.

Putin must have reminded him not to be too obviously on Russia's side.

If Congress weren't totally useless they might question the lack of urgency in dealing with the "emergency" Trump used as the basis for the tariffs.

What's supposed to happen and what will happen are not necessarily the same thing, especially with this administration.

For those unclear whether the "Criminal Trade Advisor" is a criminal and a trade advisor, or an advisor on criminal trade:

Navarro, Trump’s senior counselor for trade and manufacturing who was jailed for contempt of Congress last year after refusing to testify about the Jan. 6 Capitol riot, was speaking about U.S. tariffs on our northern neighbor with Fox News’ Bret Baier on Wednesday evening.

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

Sounds like a way for Trump to cancel the tariffs without saying he's canceling the tariffs. Such a coward.

Booze is the headline but that's not all that's going on:

The federal, provincial and territorial governments are also working toward recognizing certified professionals no matter where they received their credentials in Canada.

Following a meeting with Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday, the first ministers directed the committee on Internal Trade — which is responsible for implementing the Canada Free Trade Agreement (CFTA) — to develop a Canada-wide credential recognition plan by June 1.

Along with recognizing labour credentials, the premiers are launching negotiations to allow goods certified in one province to be bought or sold in another without additional red tape, excluding food.

You don't get to be a Republican's chief of staff by having a conscience.

Part of the agreement allows for a review next year and his complaints could have been addressed them, but apparently negotiated such a lousy deal he can't wait that long.

My father is retired and still needs to use PowerPoint. He is very bad at retirement.

“She is evil, chosen solely because she checked identity politics boxes,” Cernovich wrote. “Another DEI hire. It always ends badly.”

She was DEI hired by your guy, motherfucker.

The tariffs were already delayed by 30 days. A competent person would have the details worked out by now.

If Vance were president Republican spines would start to grow back. Trump's hold over Republicans is a major part of the problem.

The article doesn't offer any real evidence of the "love" side of this supposed "love-hate relationship". The nearest thing I could find was this bit at the end, which isn't super loving:

“I love Canada, I love the people of Canada,” Mr. Trump said at a cabinet meeting at the White House. “It’s not fair for us to be supporting Canada — If we don’t support them, they don’t subsist as a nation.”
