Ok it's starting to feel like a game now. Can we cause American hyperinflation by a targeted tariff feedback loop?

No, because Canada's economy will collapse long before the US economy if each side just keeps increasing tariffs. What Canada needs to do is make things cheaper for Canadians, not more expensive.
Take any law related to US intellectual property and decriminalize that.
Violating the copyright on Hollywood movies? Go for it. No charge.
Something you want to do is covered by a patent held by an American? Do it, you won't be prosecuted.
Want to bypass DRM on a tractor, a printer, an iPhone, sell or give away tools to allow anybody else to do it? Feel free.
The biggest advantage of this approach is that if the US did the same thing with respect to Canadian IP, they'd have so much less to work with. The US has geared its economy towards producing IP, and then used trade deals to demand that other countries respect that IP or the US will put tariffs on their stuff. Well, clearly the US isn't holding up its end of that bargain, so fuck 'em.
The only difference is we're putting tariffs on things that we can source elsewhere vs the blanket tariffs from the states. But I agree we should also do all the IP stuff you mentioned.
Or like the sort of thing a hostile foreign government might really want to have happen to the US...
Good thing we have agent Krasnov at the helm.
Oh we're going to get embargoed
I'm trying to decide what black market US goods are going to be the most profitable, asides from guns. Bourbon maybe?
Trump doesn't understand he's a bitch no matter what he does.
When you have a 25% tariff, additional tariffs really don't matter.
Look forward to the day that orange shit stain is dead. Hopefully tonight.
Americans: Just imagine the White House is an elementary schoolβ¦
Is this real?
it's drumpf and incredibly stupid, so my bet is on yes.
This guy is gonna start a war.
He already did. Tariffs are an act of war, especially when overtly related to annexation goals (as is the case here).
Economic warfare is warfare, just not with guns.
