Elbows the fuck up.
Doug Ford let’s start cranking up that electricity we sell them and they desperately need for their AI. US citizens are already seeing their electricity rates get hiked, let them see what their “dealmaker” delivers.
Government of Canada needs to dump Microsoft completely as European countries are doing. That won’t be easy, but it’s necessary.
And Canadian citizens need to stop fucking ordering off of Amazon.
Let’s start cutting them off our lumber and see how their housing crisis goes. Ours could use the raw materials and manpower.
Let’s cancel those jets, they’re US subsidized, that’s unfair according to the Wizard of Oz down south.
Elbows up is what you do when you’re ready to start knocking out some teeth. I’m ready to take some gut shots if it means standing up for Canada.

You forgot about the export excise tax on potash and oil.
-
I bought a bunch of potash stocks at the start of the year and it’s up a lot
Was a good buy all thanks to Trump.

This more than any other suggestion here. And as an Albertan if Morlaina Smith fucking complains, nationalize all of the O&G assets and kick out the companies. No more kick backs for her.

Don't worry, when it comes to Trump just think Taco. This will probably be pulled back or extended before August the 1st.

Sounds like the digital service tax needs to be back on, and doubled.
-
No one believes your threats any more, Taco Don

No Canadian politician is going to tell Trump to fuck off. That means we have to keep the boycott up. Shouldn't be hard!

Wab is doing a good job at it.
-
Love Wab.

I'm trying to figure out Trump's game here. We've been negotiating on trade and security and we backed off on the DST. What's the benefit of Trump antagonizing us? Is he trying to push Carney to get him to lose his cool?
Carney's response was predictable and measured. One gets the sense that that is what peeves Trump most of all. But Carney is wisely trying to buy Canada as much time as possible to get our shit together with national projects and new trade deals elsewhere.
In my heart, I hope all of this is in anticipation of a massive trade counteroffensive that includes the largest of fuck yous possible as we skid out of the driveway.

Negotiations behind the scenes are probably tough. Canada is not letting the US push them around.
So, Trump acts tough and applies pressure publicly.
1 - maybe it works and Canada caves
2 - if Canada does not cave, he can sign whatever and simply announce that it is the best deal ever (like he did with NAFTA / USMCA). He has already shown his supporters how hard he fought.
3 - if anybody makes a big deal that he got a bad deal, he can always break the agreement (like he did with USMCA)

US will impose 35% tax on American consumers buying Canadian products, Trump says in letter. Magazi bootlickers thank him and ask for more.
FTFY
