    Only a stupid troll and 5 cent MAGAt sycophant like Copper would believe the Trump sanctions against Canada are about fentanyl and hordes of illegal aliens entering the US from its northern border.

    It’s about Canada’s sovereignty, It’s wealth of natural resources and Trump’s narcissistic covetousness wanting total control of both.

    You know nothing about the Trump sanctions
    You know nothing about Canada
    You know nothing about fentanyl
    You know nothing about Canada’s sovereignty

    Please spare us your know-nothing stupid posts.

    Didn’t like my first elbow? Well here’s another…..

    You can just fuck off and die in your blissful ignorance you worthless cocksucking piece of MAGAt shit.

    But then you have always been little more than a just a trite and passive aggressive creep with bugger all to say about anything other than aircraft, computers and hollywood pop culture of the 60s and 70s.

    I suggest you stay out of the corners when it’s my shift on the ice.

      This is wild. I dunno what to call this, but it feels more like a progressive policy. A big tax, a big experiment - and run completely by the executive, without any legislative input.

      If nothing else, we’re about to see some real world data.

        Also - recession in Canada seems almost assured. Things were already a little soft over there. That’s a generation of animosity at least.

              I am surprised (but not really I guess) that there has been no "push back" from Congress.

                Interesting observation.

                For my part, until recently I had thought the USA’s 19 Brumaire would still be a post Trump event. I was wrong, I now think Trump has already sent the National Assembly back to their homes and appointed himself First Consul without anyone taking notice. We are now beginning to experience what it will be like. You realize that at the end of the first story Alexander I ‘s army occupied the streets of Paris.

                    Don’t forget the issue of illegal firearms traffick from south to north…. but MAGAt ideology forbids us to talk about that.

                      Time for infinite tariffs:

                      Please explain to Governor Trudeau, of Canada, that when he puts on a Retaliatory Tariff on the U.S., our Reciprocal Tariff will immediately increase by a like amount!

                        Anyone wanna take a crack at how this is not insane? Best case scenario, Trump tries to extort concessions with this (by reneging on the USMCA).

                        At worst this is a hard economic decoupling.

                              Trumpigula has now even managed to lose his biggest fan in Canada, the one who controls the valve on the oil and gas heading into the USA:

                              https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/edmonton/no-choice-but-to-react-to-u-s-tariffs-alberta-premier-says-in-supporting-federal-response-1.7474196

                              Right now she says she has no plans for a surcharge on oil and gas exports to the US or cut back on energy deliveries but the internal pressure from the general public and more recently industry, for her to put an energy surcharge on the export product is growing steadily.

                              As far as I’m concerned she just forget the surtax and start turning back the valve and let the MAGAt rabble start paying the new market price for their gas at the pumps.

                              Stay tuned folks, we will stand up to the school yard bully and its extortionist foreign policy.

                                  At this point it's possible he's trying to think of a way out of this without looking like a complete knobhead.

                                  Too late, I think.

                                  I was only joking

                                    Trudeau called him Donald and said this was dumb. Probably felt satisfying and it played well in Canada…. But I agree @Doctor-Phibes, you need to leave an off-ramp open for Trump here.

                                        He's managed to make Trudeau look good. There really is nothing Trump can't do.

                                        I was only joking

                                          Trump actually managed to elevate the thoroughly despised and discredited Trudeau just after the inauguration. So much so, that he destroyed any real chances of the Conservatives forming the next government in Ottawa.

                                          Trump is so stupid to go down this path. No justification whatsoever. He tore up the trade deal he himself signed and bragged was the “greatest in history”. An Idiot surrounded by sycophant imbeciles.

                                          Elbows up!
