Or you could just be polite. Canadians are not armed. We have plenty of stupid, crazy, and people on drugs. It's not the guns that make you polite.

Corporations won’t stop if they don’t want to. Why? They pass on the cost to the consumer anyways.

Correct, and then the consumers are less likely to buy them and will pick the ones that are made from non-tariffed materials.

The point of tariffs is to lower purchases from countries who are waging economic warfare on us, even when we can't directly see the source.

And there are people who still thinking standing on the street corner with a sign, or voting in the midterms is going to stop it.

We can boycott them on an individual level, but the real money is from industry buying massive quantities of things. They use them to make things and we never know where it came from. We don't need the tariffs to keep Canadian people from buying American. We need it to stop corporations from doing it.

“We are working on something, we want to be very good to Canada,” Trump told reporters in the White House, adding that he likes Carney “a lot.”

Trump only likes people he can bully. Saying he like Carney "a lot" makes sense given how much he's backed down and fucked Canadians. "Elbows up"? Fuck off Carney. "Head down" is more like it.

They're literally agreeing to a $500 million dollar ~~bribe~~ settlement to get access to government grants again.

They caved.

This is a Tu Quoque argument and is a type of ad hominem attack. It does nothing to counter his argument that the Democrats are useless and tries to redirect the discussion into an attack on him instead.

It's a fallacy.
