    We very much do need their lumber and electricity. Commissioning a new power plant can take a decade, and growing a forest takes even longer.

      We’ll build new homes out of our spite and anger. We don’t need no Canadian lumber – some right wing dipshit

          That’s just desecrating the graves of all the black people and Native Americans destroyed by this country to use their bones as building material.

          Should see X-ecutive order to that effect in a month or two.

      He’ll just sell our national parks to the lumber companies.

    American living in Canada here. Canada does not give a fucking shit. Canada is already making arrangements to trade elsewhere. I’ve already eliminated most US produce from my store and will not be buying any in the future unless it’s impossible to get elsewhere.

      Steel and aluminum? Too bad his base will thank him for the consequences of his stupidity.

      What do you suppose the cars that can easily be made in the USA will be made from with the increased tariffs on the things that compose the automobiles?

      The reason the US is protecting Canada is we’d rather shoot down Russian bombers coming over the North Pole over the Canadian arctic rather than over our own territory. He doesn’t understand what he’s doing.

      People are so tired of this bullshit that they don’t even read far enough to notice that he can’t spell “add”, either. And rare to see the error in that direction: much more often I see people type “add” when they mean an advertisement.

    A surcharge on “electricity” does sound mighty suspicious. Has anybody seen this “electricity” stuff? How do we know it isn’t a scam made up by the lizard people inside the hollow earth to rip off hard-working patriots?

    Get it all back?

    I’m sure the customers paying that tariff when they buy those goods and services will get a check in the mail refunding them, right? Right?

    A rambling idiot often speaks without clarity or purpose, confusingly jumping between unrelated topics. Imagine someone trying to explain VN Pro APK (a video editing tool) but getting lost in tangents about cooking or astrology. Their lack of focus can make even simple conversations frustrating or amusing. While their intentions might be harmless, their incoherence leaves listeners scratching their heads. Sometimes, it’s best to nod, smile, and move on! 😅🎥
