Canadian Tariff situation gets its own thread

No doubt Trump bullied his way into getting concessions from Canada, and shattered trust that’ll be impossible to rebuild in 4 years.
That being said, man the USA would never lose hockey in the Olympics again! All jokes aside, would it just be one big state or would they have it split into 14 new states?

If you folded Alaska into Canada, would that be enough to make Canada purplish?

Next time you and the Trumpsuckers pass by….. pass by, eh?
And as the Newfie’s would say ‘bye ye’r as stunned as me arse’.
I very much doubt anybody’s true opinions of the other have changed one iota over the past month.
Right you are.
For Canadians, or me at least, it’s solely about Trump and what he says and does that affects our daily lives. I could care less what he does or doesn’t do for his domestic audience and fans unless it spills over into my life. It’s not so much about what Trump and his followers say but how what they say and do that adversely affects my daily life.
Suffice to say Trump with the support of the MAGAt mob have disrupted my life and my country these past weeks without justification. It came to a head yesterday but the sword of Damocles remains above our heads. To what purpose I ask? What in hell happened to statesmanship? Why the brinkmanship and threats? Do Canadians as sovereign nation and neighbour have no agency? To us, Trump has shown himself to be the unpredictable and deranged madman or crackhead in the subway car.
So I will fight back as I see fit with those in this chat forum who deserve my derision in this matter. As it is here there are only two regular posters who are firmly and blindly committed to that WH ogre’s cult of mendacity. I will call out their credibility and statements when and how it suits me and me alone and as well I do it with mocking, derisive impunity.

Well, yea. All Trump did was piss off for NO REASON 40 million Canadians like Renauda and Blondie for no reason. Trump could have gotten everything he wanted with a little diplomacy or tact or even a "pretty please." The Canadians are not nor never were a problem. Neither are the Danes, for that matter. Why do all that intrusion into the lives of people that are on our side?
On the other hand I just got back from Puerto Vallarta and the Mexicans could care less about Trump but the American ex-pats are afraid that if Trump moves against the cartels then the cartels will take things out on the Americans living in Mexico. But that's another story.

My guess is he's compensating for erectile disfunction. He probably hasn't seen the little guy in years.

Piss 'em off?
Money doesn't piss people off. Lack of money does.
Barring anything major, it's pretty much forgotten in 90 days.

No surprise you get it, Tom. But then you have never been part of a cult mentality.
But to answer your question, and as I wrote above yesterday, I suspect it’s because Trump, like the serial killer in Silence of the Lambs, covets. Trump covets the sense of destiny and power his lordship and possession of Canada, its land, limitless natural resources and freshwater all bring to his insatiable feeling of entitlement and future destiny.
In all appearances to us, sheer madness.

Thank you! I can sleep at night. BTW I wouldn't mind Manitoba becoming a US state, it actually looks like the shape of Minnesota.

No 89th. Way too many mosquitoes and then, well, there’s polar bears.

Yep, unbearable humidity in summer, sun blocking swarms of no-see-um black flies and encephalitis carrying mosquitoes the size of tarsand turkeys (northern ravens - really bigly black birds, and I mean really bigly) timber and grey wolves and, black bears and more black bears and then polar bears and then again some more black bears. Good news is there are no mountain lions and no grizzlies. Those two are all here in Alberta, BC and the Yukon.
And yet again, more black bears…..and Ukrainians, fiercely nationalistic Zaporizhian Cossack Ukrainians going back generations…welcome to friendly Manitoba. Capital City, Winterpeg.
Did anyone tell you about a Manitoba winter? The unending arctic wind between beginning of November and end of March? Let’s start in Gimley….look it up..

Of course it's tough, that's why they don't call it Womanitoba, after all.

IIRC, as the Southern Border tightens, fentanyl shipments from Canada are increasing.

To be honest, I think the actual problem with fentanyl is the fact that so many people really want to take it. I don't think that playing whack-a-mole attempting to close the holes is going to solve the drug problem.
And really, can't we admit that we all know that blaming Canada for this situation is bullshit?
