Canada should just cut off non-vital trade to America until we have a new trade policy

My coworker loves Trump loudly and obnoxiously. But she's mad about the tariffs and votes for the NDP here, but says he's "doing good things for his country", but can't identify what. She doesn't know anything about weaponized disinformation, Russian troll farms, or dark money, and I very gently explained these things to her today, and saw this dim light turning on behind her eyes. So many people don't know how badly they've been suckered by weaponized disinformation and dark money.

It hurts itself in its confusion

I love seeing that video of a journalist asking trump about what he said about some tariffs and him responding "I think the other countries pay them". He truly doesn't know how they work.

He may be dumb but not as much as the people who voted for him

Trump: "Fuck framing lumber. All my homies hate imported timber for house framing."

Governor? It's he really referring to the Canadian prime Minister as though he is the governor of a state? And they said Biden was losing his grasp on reality.

Just skip to the end and stop all imports and exports between both countries, see how well that goes.

God I'm exhausted.

At this point, we just need to cut it all off completely. Oil shipments, electricity, lumber, aluminum. All of it.

I know that that's a hard ask for those industries that are affected, and if it means the federal goverment has to temporarily raise the deficit in order to subsidize those industries it'll be crazy expensive and inflation will shoot up. But I'm convinced that that would be only a short amount of time that that would actually be needed.

Let the United States go one week without our stuff. 100%...fuck 'em. They'll last one week. Maybe two. And when they quit their bullshit, make it clear that we are diversifying our business partners making it easier to pull it from them again anytime they let Trump open is fucking mouth.

Hold our resources hostage against them.

Fucked up Beyond All Repair.

All this could have been avoided if one guy had slightly better aim.

Looks like the Governor of the 47th Oblast is throwing another hissy fit.

There goes my crown again...

Bankrupting his country like he did with all his businesses, including a casino. Notoriously difficult to bankrupt.

It's all going to be used as an excuse to invade us. Oh look at Canada they made your lives more expensive. It's Canada's fault and once the people believe it, they'll have their support and invade us.

Speech from Trudeau gave me "we're at war" vibes.

It's incredible at which speed things are falling apart.
