Canada is breaking up officially with the US. What do you think of the recent Trade War that has started between the US and Canada?

Asked by Forever_Free (9235points) 4 hours ago

What are your thoughts on Canada’s reaction today to the US.
One of the most amicable relationship between nations has escalated with a tariff war.

Trump is 1000% to blame for this, the idiot keeps thinking a trade deficit is a subsidy ,if Canada had violated the free trade agreement the orange turd would be screaming it from the rooftops, I am super glad our country has decided to join the EU to deversify our trading options, starting with our oil an LNG, we will survive without the US, and we will NOT become the 51st state.

The only appropriate response. Canada has also cancelled a 100 million starlink contract today.
And of course Agent Krasnov responded with threats of more tariffs in response.

I think Trump will push for Russian Wheat and Vodka . . . and stop trading with Canada, Mexico and China.

I am as serious as a heart attack.

@Tropical_Willie
That would certainly enable him to financially support the Russian war effort. Which is most probably the reason for it.

It’s just all tragic and unnecessary.

Just awful and pointless and going to bite all Americans who aren’t billionaire oligarchs in the ass.

Sad and likely a sign of worse things to come.

I think its very sad that Canadians pay such high prices for US goods and I hope they find affordable alternatives.
Its not the first trade war and wont be the last, but I am honestly more worried for them than us. Experts say this will throw them into recession. Sad.

@KNOWITALL It will probably throw us into recession too!

@KNOWITALL Most of our oil comes from Canada. Increases in domestic production won’t change the situation because we aren’t able to refine the oil we produce.

I’m just sick over it. It will only get worse. To all the trumpers that think this is wonderful, that things will be much better now… fuck you.
