He just loves hitting the American beer and soda market with punch after punch to the gut. Even with 50% tariffs they have no choice but to buy our aluminum. Get fucked trump. Can’t wait to read your obituary.
Ok.
Man, it’s like +11 Celsius right now! You guys enjoying the weather so far?
yeah it’s nice out
The same tariffs that the auto makers in the US told him to undo otherwise they’d be in trouble… sounds clever.
Ford just backed down. Ford acts tough but he’s a giant pussy.
Ontario has agreed to suspend its 25 per cent surcharge on electricity exports to the U.S., a joint statement from Premier Doug Ford and U.S. Secretary of Commerce Howard Lutnick states.
He also is a mega Trump fan, the surcharges were performative theatre. He may have stuck with them, but we all know he was hoping he could weasel out of it somehow.
He didn’t, yet - he’s meeting with Trump on Thursday.
I’m not defending him, but didn’t spread BS until we know for sure he went limp dick on us.
I agree to a point, he should have kept the 25% surcharge in place until he gets back from the shake down he is walking into down in DC.
Where are the Teamsters these days? I hear they don’t like people messing with their livelihoods.
Meh. Remember how he made Mexico pay for the wall? But really it was the American public that paid for it? Ahahahaha. Orange insecure man.
Trump: fuck you Canada
Canada: no, fuck you Trump
Trump: uh… Double fuck you Canada!
Big Auto: STHAP THE LINE GO DOWN AHHHHH!
I love how his response is to hurt America even more, lol, this guy is a goon. How embarassing for Americans.
It all comes together when you remember he’s acting on orders from Putin to weaken his own country. Some of the first actions he took were to A) Stop helping Ukraine to take strain off Putin, and B) Start weakening the US economy by angering trade partners. Canada is the biggest trade partner of the US so naturally we got hit first and hardest.
But the US is the land of greed and maximum profit so they don’t actually make much there any more. Canada has a healthy internal economy that just got a big boost from lowered inter-provincial trade barriers whereas the US does not do as much trade internally. They rely heavily on imports of goods and raw materials, especially from Canada.
Canada will hurt from this but we have materials and the world is full of customers, so we can adjust strategy and adapt. The US? They need to buy these materials and they just gave the middle finger to the entire rest of the world. The US will hurt so much more in the long run, and I’m sure that is entirely why Donald is doing this. Even if the US were to invade it still wouldn’t fix their shattered economy as all trade with Canada would cease and they would have to find a way to obtain said materials and send them south all while fighting a multi-million strong resistance that would likely be assisted by foreign powers. All while their own economy would collapse and internal unrest might turn into civil revolt or even civil war. None of the states that border Canada are going to want a conflict on their soil and border cities are so close together that US citizens will suffer too.
There is no situation where the US walks away as a winner, but I’m sure that is exactly what Putin ordered. This is a highly planned attack on the US by itself, taking pressure off Russia and leaving the pacific open to China.
he’s acting on orders from Putin to weaken his own country
People need to stop believing liars repeating this meme. He is picking easier wars to win than the losing war on Russia. When you believe this tripe, that everything is for master Putin, you support stupidity and evil in retaliating vs Russia. Even if US and Russia become allies, any country isolating themselves as enemies of both, destroys itself. Infighting among colonies and Mexico has been the divisive success of Trump. Stupidly keeping the same enemies that are historically pure propaganda programing by US empire, is a loyalty to your enemy. Deprogram yourself from this garbage.
I’m sick of this dick measuring contest already.
Will Doug throw the switch then, or just bump the costs up a bit more ?
Yay my electricity bill when Ontario matches.
#TrumpDidThat
More importantly he’s initiating a state of emergency and threatening annexation again. Thats a dangerous combination.
Price of energy increases for Americans. Trumps solution increase the price of aluminium for Americans.
That will show them.
Cool I can now have steel to build my robot.
