Canada

I think the shutdown of auto and aerospace manufacturing will do enough damage on both sides.

Relationships between the us and Canada are forever tainted thanks to the orange douche bag. I think it's time to do a few things

Invalidate NAFTA 2.0 and negotiate solely with Mexico when it comes up for renewal.

Also Look at existing agreements with the us and consider them null and void or at the very least about to spoil. Defence agreements technically fall here so let's prep for the us turning Thier backs on us.

Revert copyright laws to more sane say 10 years plus a 5 year extension if warranted and justification is more than more moneies please. Make this retroactive to all works in all mediums in all fields.

Consider poaching talent from the US offer good apples a way out and use the talent to making a greener economy. Let's not rush to the bottom here let's make Canada better stronger and more resilient to energy price swings.

Invest in projects that improve our resilience to market forces. Let's try some ideas out vertical farms solar on new builds micro nuclear reactors lets give the lot a go and see what sticks.

Strengthen our electoral process maybe make a stab at something other than first pass the post. make it so the gop playbook doesn't work here.

This is a war declared by US rulers. Your measures would hurt individual Americans specifically.

Don't worry, things will probably get pretty bad without needing to do all this.

Too extreme of a reaction

American here, you guys have a huge number here on your side. We need another 1814 in a really bad way.

I prefer "double" export tariffs to shutoffs. Electricity 50%, and oil 20%. split between federal and provinces. Stuff like OJ and Bourbon, 50%+ tariffs instead of blocking imports.

Absolutely, soliciting US states to join confederation as a province is something that should be open, official policy, now. You/we can "dress it up" as US constitutional convention (normally 75% of states call for, but 10 provinces too) for exploration of 10 new states joining, or dividing "the union" into Canada and US.

Do we have to hurt socialist Vermont of all things? 🥹

Maybe in ~1970 we could but our oligarchs shipped all of our manufacturing abroad. And even so, raw materials come from everywhere.

With a US war declaration, Canada needs to join rest of world aggressively. Eliminating US empire dictated sanctions. NORAD is essential to US global extortion. The only withdrawal to US's declaration of war comes with just "flirting" with US national security diminishment, and freedom from colonization.

Outcompete Mexico on Fentanyl, with a mission to cut Heroin with it for purposes of killing US addicts as a Canadian government program is a better response to end the war than appeasement. No visas for Iran IRGC soldiers while tariffs apply.

American Exceptionalism makes it hard for a lot of Americans to have an "are we the baddies" moment.

Visited Nova Scotia for work several years ago. I'd go back in a heartbeat! Sign me up, and it'd get me out of Alabama.

That's an evil idea - I love it. (As an American)

I'd take that deal.

Honestly, if we can un-fuck housing then this is a great idea. Problem is I really don't believe we can un-fuck housing at this point.

Take meeeeee. I have some carpentry experience.

1. The EU wouldn't take us.
2. Western Canada would see joining the EU as a bad deal. Alberta especially would be very opposed to it.

How the fuck is Elon fucking musk taking over all these different us bureaucracies? Don’t know but it’s happening. The “law” is a fig leaf. They don’t give a fuck.

Creating a fake "national emergency" means dictatorial powers. This is a declaration of war because the national emergency is false, and a pretext for war and extortion.

There is a need to suspend our "military alliance"/subservience while these tariffs apply.

Today is the day where "US empire values" makes you rethink your unwitting foreign agent role. :P
