Summary

Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, along with threats of more on lumber and dairy, have sparked widespread backlash in Canada.

Canadians are boycotting American products, canceling U.S. trips, and rallying around “Buy Canadian” efforts. Ontario has banned U.S. liquor sales, and Premier Doug Ford threatened to cut electricity exports.

British Columbia’s premier vowed national unity against the tariffs. The federal government launched a $5 billion aid program for affected businesses.

Many Canadians see the tariffs as a betrayal and reject Trump’s taunts about making Canada the 51st state.

    Canadians have two moods. The first is “I’m sorry”, the second is “You’ll be sorry.”

    Second mood activated.

      I’m still in the opinion that we should send corn beef as peace offering.

      Canada has two sides of a coin, one is “I’m sorry” and the second is “we’re the reason for a lot of the Geneva Convention”

        A Ukrainian has since broken the record but if you really piss off a Canadian they’ll say “sorry but fuck you” from 2 miles away.

          Yes, we’re really proud of our long distance telecommunication. It’s like the sound of jungle drums, one ping only.

      I’ve been saying “Canadians are nice by choice, not because of something in the water.”

      I like this one, too. I intend on stealing it and spreading it. #ElbowsUp
