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?

@Parker231 Yes, lowest since Covid-era June '20...and Trump is off to play golf today. 🙄

Auto workers are taking a huge hit. This is from the Toronto Star, but there are multiple reports on both sides of the border. I'm watching Doug Ford on the CBC right now.

Detroit affected as well

Just catching a bit of news on tv now. Anyone else watching the mass protests happening down south? 😱

Just seen some coverage of a huge anti Trump demonstration in Boston and another in Detroit and Windsor - supporting each other from either side of the river.

I came across this article about recent cross border traffic/travel.

Our PM, Mark Carney, met with US president Donald Trump today. The tariffs are still in place, and likely a renegotiation of CUSMA will be needed to remove or change that, but I won't be surprised if Trump seeks to dissolve it.

Loved Carneys attitude!
I suspect we will learn more about the private meeting in the days to come.

I'm curious about how people felt about the throne speech yesterday. 🤔

Fucking AB lifted their ban on US alcohol imports. 🤦‍♀️

Idiots! I want them to get tougher - not roll over. I want to hit Trump (and sorry - average Americans) every way possible!

They're showing their ability to be self determining. They do want to secede, afterall...🙄

At least whilst he’s having his fall outs with Musk and putting his foot in where it’s not wanted in California, he’s not mentioned Canada being the 51st state or taking over Greenland. Still amazes me that anyone could be daft enough to vote for him.

@Parker231 watching the protests in California here.
I hope the rest of the country is paying attention.

Feeling a bit annoyed we're lifting a US tariff for the tech sector to get talks going, if I've understood the bit of news I caught the other day. 🙄

It’s getting silly - tariffs on, tariffs off.

The digital one was only 3% but would have hurt Google, Apple, Amazon etc.

Time to be strong and hit where it hurts - potash, electricity, steel.

Yes, @Parker231 and are we going to tolerate the re-writing of the MCA?

Trump will probably deny that he signed it in the first place!

He'll def have some sort of crap to say about it and limely blame us somehow. 🙄

He’s probably get bored by next week and move on to causing problems somewhere else 🤣

It drives me crazy that now that he's back in office he's either on tv or being spoken about every day. 🙄

The idiot is at it again - he writes like a child in a temper!

Personally I think the tariffs are simply to please it's MAGA supporters, when the dust settles they will vanish.

Every time there's talk of tariffs my share portfolio drops in value....and I can't be the only one. Thankfully I purchased a load of Microsoft shares 16 years ago and they have not been affected....but I have a lot in the SP500 which had only just recovered

Hopefully Trump supporters will wake up when they see the damage to their 401k’s. Trump supporters = idiots!
