Canada@lemmy.ca•Trump threatens 35% tariffs on Canada starting Aug. 1English
72·7 months agoHAHAHA I hate the Cons and am an NDP voter who lent Carney my vote (first time voting Lib, actually) because I felt a Con government would handle Trump exactly the way Carney apparently is doing, apparently.
That will likely be the first and last time, that is for sure.

582·7 months agoCarney needs to grow a pair. I’ve had enough of him not saying anything. We voted for elbows up, not subservience. I’m still not clear what we got for the DST removal.

8·8 months agoLooks like the fentanyl tariffs are toast.
The steel, aluminum, and auto tariffs are still in force (different justification).



Ok, bump the cost of 20% of your oil supply by 100%, double the cost of 80% of the potash into your country. Decimate the US automotive supply chain and shut down plants in the US. Go for it! I kept thinking about Carney’s speech, was it a bit over the top (ie, is this really a rupture or just a 4 year blip), but it proves without a doubt that Carney was 100% correct. The response to this is not to cowtow down to Washington trying to find a way to talk them out of this. It’s to stand firm, prepare retaliation and support for industries/unemployed, and prep to make this transition for our economy once and for all. This needs to end now, we may as well pull the bandaid. It will be ugly but necessary.
