Any other Canadians on here wanting to comment on the trade war (US friends welcome)?

Just watching the news here and feelings are ranging from "meh" to despair. How the H-E Double Hockey Sticks did we get here?

Agreeing on both counts. ✅
Impeachment has been filed again, I believe.

Just a quick AI search - attached

Currently watch CTV coverage with Trump:

Canada has been ripping us off for a very long time on trade;
we defend Canada for nothing;
they don't pay us to defend Canada;
who's the worst to deal with on trade? That's easy - Canada. They feel entitled.

I see SK is imposing at 50% reciprocal tax on US alcohol. 👍
it's the least that can be done considering we made a concession to re-stock US booze before negotiations broke off.

I think the biggest stick is travel, though. No Canadian should set foot on American soil.

And no money should be spent on non-essentials from the US, so no online shopping from US retailers.

Stark raving mad. That's the only conclusion I can draw.

Trump is barking.... apparently he's fuming that Carney can speak French..

Yes, but Trump is still in charge and his party is happy to support him. I think some ideas are his and some are the party's. They're all f'ing crazy, but equally terrifying.

I think 6000 pairs of electric shock gloves have been order for ICE. What kind of society is envisioned? Dystopian is the only answer.
The changes in, and aggression by, the States have far-reaching implications.
The joking about Trump has allowed people to just write him off as a nut and make excuses and justifications for his behaviour, but, again, his party is behind him and I think their vision for their country is deeply troubling and dangerous.

Time for a name change!
