Summary
Canadian leaders, including Deputy PM Chrystia Freeland and provincial premiers, pledged unity against US president-elect Trump’s threat of a 25% blanket tariff on Canadian imports.
The tariffs, aimed at addressing drug and migrant flows, could disrupt key trade, including oil, driving up US fuel costs.
Canada is preparing retaliatory measures, echoing its response to Trump’s 2018 tariffs.
Officials argue such actions harm both economies, noting Canada is a critical supplier of energy and materials to the US. American oil groups also oppose the tariffs, citing potential consumer and industry harm.
Rude! At least pretend like it isn’t a clown show down here.
In all seriousness I wish you all the best, friend.
The one saving grace is the House has a 2 seat difference. We just need fuck face to do his tariffs and blast the cost of everything through the roof before the four (five?) vacant seats come up for a special Election. That would be interesting and sad at the same time.
The old Anarcist Punk wolf in me wants chaos, but the Dad Wolf wants better for my kids.
Friendly banter is tariffed, 20% please so that we can find our soon-to-be shrinking government?
