Poilievre was quick to respond in a post on X Wednesday morning and used Trump’s comment as an opportunity to go after Carney, saying he “is weak and would cave to Trump’s demands.”
For a guy that talks a big game about national strength and unity he sure is quick to turn on his own.
“As Canada faces the greatest threat to our sovereignty since WWII, the effects of Donald Trump’s threats are already being felt by most Canadians. As a proud Canadian-owned and operated company, we want to do our part to support Canadians. As a family, we have decided to absorb all immediate increases in our costs due to the Trump-tariffs for the rest of the year to maintain our prices.”
It finished, “We will continue to reinforce Canadian-first policies within our operations because together we are stronger. We will never be the 51st state!”
What are the protocols/powers involved in declaring something a national emergency? Like what decision power does the president gain in that scenario?
EDIT: This site seems to cover a lot of the benefits gained and what protections are in place to limit overreach, but given the current state of affairs I can’t imagine why Congress would reign in the abuse.
I had these same questions when I started seeing these tags as well. If we’re going to tag Canadian products, at the very least all Canadian products should get tagged. Considering how a lot of stores are turning to digital shelf tags it shouldn’t take a whole lot of effort to put a little digital maple leaf on each item.
Well shit
