- I'll never, ever, ever, forgot how the US is behaving right now. They're never more than 4 years from being this shitty, we cannot ever rely on or trust any deal they might try and make.
- How about those Epstein files?

Correct. My immediate thought here is "Under what law?"
They've already gone through this. Trump's initial gambit, the IEEPA, got comprehensively struck down. That leaves him with two options; a law that was intended to address balance of payments issues (very likely to get stuck down in its own ongoing legal trials because, tldr, balance of payments issues haven't existed since they moved to fiat currency), which can only be used to impose tariffs of up to 15%, or a law that can be used to apply sector specific tariffs but only after an extensive investigation. That means they actually have to be able to justify, in court (because they will get sued by all the US buyers affected by these tariffs) the actual economic impact that is being mitigated.
The former is a non-starter - capped at 15%, has to be applied globally, not to one specific country, and based on super shakey legal grounds, and the latter will collapse the moment they're asked to show their work.
I guess they think they found a new law.
I’m just tired of this shit. No deal with the US means anything. No, there aren’t good American politicians who will stand up for what’s right, and you’re never four years away from either a better deal or your deals getting ripped up.
The USA cannot be trusted as a partner ever again. I’ll never ever forget.

Carney: "We're not going to do anything about it for the benefit of the economy."
Ron Howard: "The economy being his closest billionaire friends."
On number 2, I won’t either. The whole lot of them too, even the ‘good ones’ are running excuses now. It’s getting that bad they’re starting to blame our countries for not sanctioning them. Don’t they get fucking wild when you tell them to stay home and fix their problem.
For years they took shots at us about our reasonable gun laws, socialist oppression, lack of Fr3ed0m…now they’re bending over taking it, we have to be understanding.
This is Trump's way to divert the world from the Iran quagmire he got himself into.
and the pdf files
The Epstein files.
Eh, I'd say Hanlon's razor applies quite nicely here (as with pretty much everything Trump causes). The guy is a complete moron that acts entirely without self-control or rationality after all.
Normally I would agree with that position, but in the unique case of Trump, I'm fairly certain it's actually legitimate malice. Stupid malice, but malice.
He's mad Spain photoshopped him out of the team photo yesterday and we're the closest to his reach.
Wait what? Did that really happen 🤣
Not quite. He wandered into the photoshoot trying to horn in on it, like a total fucknugget, but they escorted him off the stage and the photoshoot continued.
Ah got it, wandered on to the stage and assumed everyone was cheering for him
Someone let senile grampa out of the house. 😂
Senile raging narcissist grampa.
And Spain removed him from the photo they posted to social media.
Trump to hit ~~Canada~~ Americans with new 50% tarrif on Canadian goods.
FTFY. Mexico didn't pay for the wall, Americans did. Canada doesn't pay the tarrifs, Americans do.
The news media has been failing the American public for a long time now.
along with the education system, the healthcare system, political representation, and the military-industrial complex. It's like all of those things have been turned against the citizens of the United States.

Bring back the digital services tax.
I’m ready to start banning US corporate donors now.
Oh, you donated to Trump, sorry Apple, 100% tariff. Sorry Meta, you’re banned.
Fuck it.

"The Court's 6-3 decision determined that the 1977 IEEPA law does not grant the executive branch the authority to levy tariffs, emphasizing that the power to tax and impose duties rests exclusively with Congress under Article I of the Constitution."
That was in February, I swear that any Republican whom thinks he isn't anti republic is hiding their head in the dirt.

Essentially Trump is pulling the exact same farce, just with a different law this time.
Ok
Toddler having another tantrum.
Anyways…
I think it's time to start allowing Canadian corn whisky to be called "bourbon".
This would be so funny, the fit that would cause would be awesome to behold.

The best response to unpredictable neighbours: Canada needs to diversify, maintain strong internal unity, and to focus on relentless self-reliance. Canada has goods the world wants. If the US doesn't want them Canada can and should go elsewhere.
Trump. Rapes. Children.
Smoke and mirrors. Don’t look up.
Good. Double it. Triple it. Cut off all trade.
DO IT
Why stop there? Why not 2000%?
The same percentage he decreased drug prices, amirite!

exempting "energy, potash, critical minerals and fish" is interesting. I wonder if a possible strategy would be to put limits on those just above the current export amount, just to demonstrate that we could.
Sounds like we know how to make them squeal then.
When does Canada impose tariffs on America for their vile, insidious, invasive wildfire smoke from Oregon, Ohio and California needlessly gassing poor innocent Canadians?
Sheesh, we can write crap sensationalistic stuff too ya know.
Tariffs only hurt your own population, no need for Canada to spite ourselves.
We should buy everything we can from domestic providers and not jack up costs for people who still need things from the US.

Breaking news: Screaming toddler repeats the same threats he's made numerous times before.
It would be so funny if all countries stopped trade with the USA. Let him whine about that.
It wouldn't have to be on everything either just pick something like orange juice whiskey or a particular weapons system as a bunch of middle powers to boycott or refuse entry.
I was thinking not sending goods to the USA but not buying their stuff would piss of trumpet just as effectively.

Keep going guy. We could use the reminder. Moving trade away from the US needs a lot of pressure to happen to any significant degree.

separatists should stop sucking up to the us
Yep time to get those Epstein files out.

Also time for Canada to recind/ limit any us patents on drugs or copyrights on media to 5 years since initial release.
Maybe repeal anything related to dcma
And why not let's let Doug ford unplug new York for a few hours every day for shits and giggles

department of trade war hits again
The 50 per cent rate is being imposed in response to what a senior administration official described as Canada's retaliation against U.S. trade policy and its discrimination against U.S. motor vehicles, dairy and alcohol.
The new rate would apply to a variety of Canadian imports, "ranging from wine to hockey sticks to cement," the official said, adding that the White House will publish a full list of the affected products.
Person who doesn't know how tariffs work blindly threatens tariffs again.
