So you Canadian MAGAT fanbois... how do you like Trump putting Canada into recession?

[SchlongConery]

So, all reality TV show theatrics and schoolgirl crushes aside, how do YOU feel about Trump singlehandedly pretty much guaranteeing that Canada, our home and native land, will go into a recession and many Canadian businesses will fail as a result? And that automakers and the huge auto parts industry in Canada will have no choice but to close up shop and lay off hundreds of thousands of hard working Canadians?

And for you Yankees, have you yet figured out that it is YOU, American consumers who will pay MORE for everything? Unlike the promise that Mexico will pay for The Wall (you guys are so gullible!) Trump makes no such claim that the Canadian Mexican and Chinese governments, nor Canadian, Mexican or Chinese companies will pay the IMPORT tax! US companies who import goods will not eat the tariffs, there isn't enough markup in anything to cover a 25% increase in the cost of goods. They will pass it on to the consumer. Remember, there is only one consumer, and they end up paying for everything.

And American manufacturing corporations will use the opportunity as an excuse to raise their own wholesale prices. And so they should as the retailers will just raise them to equalize prices anyways.


But mostly, I'm interested in what CANADIAN Trump fans (you are NOT 'supporters' as you have ZERO say in US politics or elections so you are not part of 'we' .

As long as minorities are hurt they don't care.
They are even prepared to surrender Canada to Trump.
Anything and everything for an ideological "win" even if it personally hurts them and all feelings of victory are merely vicarious.

Price to go up even more.

RECAP: Trump made good on his threat to order sweeping tariffs against Canada. Here’s how Canada responded.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced Ottawa’s retaliation against the U.S. after President Donald Trump’s administration imposed sweeping import tariffs on Canada on Saturday. Here’s a look back at the fast-moving events of the day.

It's idiotic.

Once a few GOP congressman get some very pointed phone calls from donors they will form a little cabal to threaten ANY legislation from passing unless this gets resolved.

No doubt a few Senators as well.

I think a few back channel threats to reverse tariff on electricity, oil, and an outright ban of export of uranium sent via allies in Washington will also go a long way.

I really don't understand what the point on this world wide trade war is. And it is a world wide trade war.

We may well see a few benefits. It looks like the provinces are finally going to tear down any Interprovincial barriers and tariffs within the nation. Other nations will step up out of spite.

It will honestly depend on how long it lasts. Once it hits the USA supply chain(apparently several retailers overstocked in anticipation) consumers will react.

Oh, and I tossed some extra oj in the freezer. If does freeze well btw.

If you are one of the morons that thinks its all about fentanyl, and that if we just secured our border this wouldn't have happened, stop being a dumb beta sheep cuck dipshit.

 

[danmand]

Hey Mich, I would not be so sure in the infallibility of Trump and USA.

USA is fighting the Tariffs trade war against Canada, Mexico, the EU, Russia and China ( maybe all of BRICS) at the same time. Does not seem smart to me.

 

[highpark]

The thread is about Trump attempting to put Canada in recession and most of the people here are attacking Trudeau. Proves that partisan idiocy is above reason. And proves why I don't believe in humanity.

Just in case we all forgot. The person leading our country cannot get his calls returned by the US President. He does not have the confidence of his own caucus or parliament. How is he the best person to lead us through this crisis? We are a banana republic because of the vanity of one man.

This crisis is happening because of Trump. He was going to push this whatever stripe was in charge. This did not start because of Trudeau,

This is not to say a more stable fed, whatever stripe, would help us fight it better moving forward instead of Trudeau. We are not in ideal situation lacking the central cog to bring everyone together.

But we did not start the fight as you claim.. Stop being a fucking moron.

 

[nottyboi]

I still have mixed feelings for him. If he can end the Urkaine war and the slaughter in Gaza then I am more willing to accept this. But I think this will prove to be a big mistake. Both Canada and Mexico retaliated immediately, and heavily. I still say we need to inject pain in energy, and I also like the fact the Cad govt did 31B immediately and will take 21 days to announce the full 155B so we can do it and minimize harm to Canadians and the Canadian econ. Its strong but reasonable. I think they wil be ready with some nasty energy measures if Trump follows through with further escalation.

 

[HEYHEY]

To all the idiots that voted in a drama teacher to be prime Minister of canada, enjoy the shit show that we are in.

 

[tml]

Good for Trudeau for standing up for Canada.

 

[csmitting]

High taxes, out of control deficits, mass migration, uncontrolled immigration, skyrocketing crime and corruption, oligopoly protectionism policies. But it’s Trumps fault,

 

[csmitting]

You are describing USA, right?

You’re a genius!

The neo fashy Trumpy fanbois duly appear and parade around, holding up their little placards.

Oblivious to the fact that 99% of Canada despises them now.

Back in my grandad's day in the UK, Hitler sympathizers were put in jail for a few years and made to do unpaid labour in the coal mines while the patriotic British people fought bravely and defeated Hitler. Those were the good old days.

He was a president for four years, wasn’t he? Did he do anything about any of this other than suck Putin’s dick?

If that happens, which I think it will, wait until paid healthcare is a thing.

No that won't happen.
We need to first become a Republic for that to happen and that is impossible.

Many things that were said that "won't happen" happened. We'll just have to wait and see.

I don't know why some of you are so continually dense on this matter. It's good to see at least a few conservative based individuals here with common sense, rather than some like you.

We are in this tariff shit show because of one person. Donald Trump. It was happening no matter who our leader is right now.

Can you argue that Trudeau (or the liberals) was not best to run our country in the past term(s), and moving forward. Absolutely.

But rest assured you beta cucks this tariffs issue is one man, and you are just sheep regurgitating what Trump or his media sycophants tell you.
