In his news conference today, Trudeau said Canada will hold firm and push ahead with retaliatory tariffs and other measures until Trump backs off entirely.
Pausing tariffs on some Canadian goods.
A pause isn’t good enough.
And doing it on an partial list is not good enough.
Oh we’re done with them jerking us around. Today Mango Mao announced new tarrifs but I’m happy about them because they’re on repulsive American milk. The US allows hormones and anti-biotic that Canadian milk does not allow. I don’t want their junk milk products at all. Tarrif that shit away.
Tariffs are on our milk going to the US. What they’re doing doesn’t affect American milk entering Canada negatively or positively. The simplest solution is to just not buy American products at all.
Happy to oblige!!
I don’t care at this point. We’ve shifted off of buying US imports (I’m even buying Turkish Pistachios because I fucking love Pistachios) and we intend to stay that way.
American businesses can get fucked.
How do the Turkish pistachios stack up?
Better in quality but more expensive. Unsalted they have a much more nutty flavor.
Edit: Apparently, me and typos are a thing today.
Yeah, we’re cutting out every American product we reasonably can.
The reason I’m on lemmy and not Reddit is part of my person boycott of US stuff. Am trying to get off US platforms and media. I switched from gmail to proton. From Reddit to lemmy. It will never end. I ditched streaming platforms.
The US has always been a laughing stock, but to be this embarrassing is something I never expected in my lifetime. Fuck the US - it’s going to take a loooooooong time before anybody can take them seriously ever again.
I am happy to hear that we are still going forward with our measures regardless of what Trump does until what Trump does is fuck off.
It’s gonna be lifelong for me, even if Trunp himself is gone, the deranged ideology remains. There will eventually be a successor. All the more reason for Canada to decouple, disengage and diversify away from the US, cause at any time a new one could come in and maybe they aren’t as dumb as Trump.
Cool, so we up the cost of the goods until April, then we lower them so the Americans still pay the same but we say we’re giving them relief since the cost would be even higher, otherwise lol.
Trump’s not saying he’s canceling them, he’s just pausing them. Why reward this bullshit baby behaviour?

Exactly. That’s why the current counter-tariffs stay, and only the scheduled phase 2 is on hold for now.
FUCK TRUMP.
You pissed up the wrong tree, asshole.
Even when this is over, good luck getting me to buy American products again.
There is going to be a time when our kids and grandkids roll their eyes because we refuse to buy American. It will be fun.
