If the orange idiot goes through with it I hope the Canadian Government rolls out the list of tarrifs they used last time targeting states that supported this.

I'd also love to see the following on the list of retaliation tactics

Time to invalidate any and all us owned drug patents in Canada, and encourage generic companies to go hog wild

While we are at it reduce maximum damages from IP infringement claims from media agencies to a nominal 20-100 $ fee or lower in response

Regulations on foreign house ownership would be a popular thing to play with just not sure how. But could be funny to see any trump owned or trump family adjacent properties taxed heavily and foreclosed/ eminent domained

The government should also put in place road blocks to refuse to tell the IRS any banking details of any Canadian accounts and tell them to pound sand or take years individually replying manually to any requests to see any US citizen accounts in Canada. Why bother helping them collect taxes.

Also would love to see trump refused entry at the border for the lulz

Anyway hopefully smarter people have appropriate counter measures for this. Tit for tat sucks but hopefully embarrassing/ appropriate retaliatory responses.

I like your anti-IP ideas. πŸ₯²

These are all way better than any tariffs we could respond with.

As an American I approve of these right now, you shouldn't even wait.

Eh spare the IRS, its one of the most functional and least corrupt remaining bits of the US government and Trumps administration already tried to kill it last time.
