Canada

And the same thing will happen to Americans and American companies, and to Mexico and Mexican companies.

Trump has just decided he's going to trash the entire economy of North America, and destroy any chance of anyone being willing to make a new trade treaty with the US for at least the next twenty years, because the US can't be relied upon to actually hold up their end of it.

We can't fix what he's broken. Best we can manage is to diminish the chances of anyone trying it again.

Which means Canadians will lose their jobs, they will be out of work, and some companies in Canada will not hire because there's not enough sales to hire anybody new.

We know. But that's Trump's fault for starting this stupid fight.

Or are you suggesting that we just "shut up and take it" like a good little rape victim?

If so, fuck that. We're kicking him in the balls.

10 day old account with the worst political takes in every Canadian post I see you in. Either you're an agitator, or you somehow passed high school in Canada without a basic understanding of how the government works. Either way, not worth listening to.

Bootlicking the US isn't gonna help Canada long term, especially since arguably that's what's led to this mess in the first place.

That's what Trump wants.

we didnt choose this commercial war but boy we will defend ourselves. You can thank that cartoon that americans chose to represent them.

Consider the cost of inaction. A decade of lost economic growth, fewer jobs, and diminished competitiveness – all because we lacked the leverage to counter these blatantly unfair tariffs. Can we afford that?

Either those tariffs come down quick because we fight back, we massively expand our trading relationships with countries we don't get along with (China, Russia, India) Erdogan-style, or we experience what could amount to a Great Depression once Trump escalates further again knowing we're an easy target.

There’s no doubt it will be painful.
