This was, and continues to be, never about fentanyl.

Trump wants to feel like a powerful leader so instead of taking on actual substantial threats to the US economy he bullies his smaller allies, like the weakling he is.

We can't transition trade away from that failed state south of us quickly enough. And, as with many of Trump's shortsighted "bull in a China shop" decisions, this will only serve to motivate us to do so quicker while also detrimentally affecting the US' own long-term trade prospects.

Headline should more accurately read: "Trump raises taxes on Americans purchasing goods made in Canada by 35%."

Fuck that fucking fuck.

Reciprocate.

What's this? We capitulated to a bully and he... turned around and punched us on the mouth? How can this be? Who could possibly have seen this coming?

FFS stop trusting Americans already.

Our response hopefully:

🖕

Fuck Donald Trump.

They’re in a (self imposed) worse position than us, so I think we just keep pushing them.

Today’s hearing on whether the “fentanyl” tariffs are legal swung heavily in our favour that Trump does not have authority to impose them.

It’s no coincidence he throws a shit fit when things are not looking his way, so he’s just trying to extort us into signing something before the courts rule this illegal and they have to pay back all the importers who paid tariffs.

This will likely go to their Supreme Court, so god knows what will happen in October when that happens, but realistically they’ll lose all their leverage and have to gasp follow their own legal framework as laid out in the US Constitution.

Bring back the DST

I would just love it if someone would just tell this guy to fuck off and follow through.

OMG, he's still on fentanyl, wow. He didn't even use the Palestinian statehood on this one. That's great. It means absolutely no one in Canada would be confused this is bullshit.

The TSX doesn't seem to have responded, so this either already baked in or everyone bets on TACO. Which makes sense either way because:

However, Canadian goods that meet the terms of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement will not be subject to the tariff, which means the vast bulk of Canada's exports can still cross the border tariff-free.

So it's still just theatre. I'm not sure who the audience is at this point.

The taco shitstain will do what the taco shitstain always does, just you wait

who gives a fuck

Epstein file ya gd pedoliar

Funny thing is, he's still a rapist who is partaking in a massive cover up to conceal the fact that he was involved in Epstein's child sex trafficking empire.

We shouldn't be doing business with him, regardless of whatever "deal" Canada expects to get from this unstable idiot.

Marijuana, fentynal, and worst of all: Kinder Surprise eggs

Carney needs to just respond publicly something along the lines of "if you're so concerned about drugs why did you pardon the silk road guy"

Get fucked Donnie, you can have your shit hole country all to your self. Canada is going to end up part of the EU and then you're good and fucked.

Who cares anymore?

Fat donnie thinks he is the ultimate "deal maker, and he actually is... the ultimate "bad deal maker".
