It's a stirring speech. Things are about to get very expensive for both Canadians and Americans. I have already scratched out future plans for visiting the US for the rest of the year, but I am also considering cancelling ones I pre-booked months ago, even at a 50% loss. Haven't decided firmly yet.
No need to advise us outlanders not to visit the US. We have eyes and working brains.
It's a fun horror franchise to watch, tho. Great script - a tad unrealistic.
You'd be surprised at the amount of people agreeing with what Trump is doing over the border.
Old cunts will continue to go shopping to Kennebunkport like it's a premium experience.
I mostly have the same thoughts on this, but I also worry that we sink so deep into the abyss that it will take a long time, if ever at all, to recuperate.
Don't worry the US will be a Chinese subsidiary on the other side of this.
My grandparents voted for Trump despite myself and my family telling them we won't visit them in the US again if they did. Guess who they chose over us? We're sticking to our word, I have no intention of ever stepping foot in the US until it gets its collective shit together.
Cancel Netflix and other US streaming services. Stop using American social media, stop buying US and Israeli products wherever possible.
Easier said than done. Our daily routines and communication with loved ones might be tied into these.
Well, no point in resisting America's bullshit if it involves changing daily routines, I guess.
Jesus, no wonder we keep failing to change literally anything.
I ran into this when trying to convince people to get away from Facebook. Minor inconveniences aren't worth enduring in the face of gross violations of data privacy. For some reason.
I'm going to the US next week because my mom is turning 80... I don't expect to visit again unless someone dies for the next four years.
There’s nothing wrong with what you’re doing.
Family always should come first.
So you don't like your mom or something? I can't imagine not seeing my family that long over stupid shit.
Nope, just not seeing them in the US.
Seems like we're getting our tariffs soon too. Gobshite. Wonder what his excuse will be for us since it's not going to be drugs or borders.
One way to offset the damage would be for the EU and Canada / Mexico to start trading more.
His excuse is the trade deficit. EU exports more to the US than they import. He wants the EU to buy more US oil and gas. Also Greenland, he thinks he can take the EU economy hostage to get Greenland
I'm not sure he has the power to just impose tarrifs unilaterally. His excuse was the drugs and border for Canada which allows him to use some obscure law from the 70s to claim an emergency but that doesn't apply to Europe is my (limited) understanding.
Why do you think the laws matter?
Already done. CETA was provisionally applied in 2017.
Full ratification unlikely just due to the nature of how the EU half works.
