I agree. The only ones who are going to stop this madness is the Americans themselves. The counter- tariffs are necessary as a measured reaponse. But its the americans that are going to be the ones who have to grow up and stop this shit.
I can understand the sentiment, and I was all for it when this whole mess started, but now I think this is a terrible idea. Trump is insane and desperate, his deals are falling through and he's desperate for a win. Giving him an excuse to call us the bad guys and escalating his actions won't help anyone.
I agree we need to hit back, but we need to be careful in how we do it.
Start raising of oil, power and potash to compensate our losses. Keep increasing the price everytime he adds a new tarrif. Hell I would raise everytime he says 'governor Trudeau'
Agreed. This was never about drugs, we can't stop what isn't happening. Trudeau bought us a month to get our shit together and prepare for the inevitable, Which we've done. At least we won't be completely blindsided this time.
Liberal leadership hopeful Mark Carney says he'd run a deficit to 'invest and grow' Canada's economy
At least he's being honest about it. There's going to be alot of growing pains strengthening Canada, people need to be prepared that that.
This issue is that Trump is an unhinged lunatic now in charge of arguably the most powerful military in the world. We would need to be careful how we push back so he doesn't have an excuse to start an actual war. I once thought that no US President would be dumb enough to pull that trigger, but I am starting to have my doubts.
That whole back and forth was so very Canadian.
Your probably right. That would be the safest way
Absolutely, I am doing the same. I hope the various provinces keep good on their plans to strengthen Canadian business and not go right back to the way things were. This should be a wake up call.
Yea, I don't blame Americans at large. I believe most of them don't want this either.
Yea, we don't know what happened in the phone call. I don't think Trump was expecting us to fight back, he would have taken any deal to safe face and say he won. The important part is that all of us don't forget what happened. Regardless of what happens next month, America threatened us, we can't go back to the way things were. I am going to continue to choose Canada first, fuck the States.
That's going to be up to each of us, I certainly am. America raised their hand to us, whether they strike or not is beside the point, they can't take that back. I am going keep as much of my time and money in Canada as I can. I think all Canadians should.
Agreed. If someone raises a hand to you, doesn't matter if they strike or not, the damage is done. America proved they are untrustworthy. Fuck em.
