Avi Lewis @avilewis.ca · 26/08/20261/ What do Jean Chrétien, Jason Kenney, Alison Redford and David Eby all have in common? They’ve called for Canada to use - or consider - export taxes on energy and critical minerals that we ship to the USA. 1929979
Dave Nelson 🇨🇦 @davenlsn.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Proportional reasoned response is required. Going in heavy at the beginning doesn't encourage change. We can do these, but leave them for last strokes 010
Proud Anselmo @proudanselmo.bsky.social · 27/08/2026If Jean Chretien says to do it, it's probably a good idea. 010

spooky murwolf the wereduck 〓〓🏳️🌈𓅄✊🐺🪄🎡 @murduck.bsky.social · 26/08/2026Did you say this to Carney when you spoke to him for an hour? It was not in the communications to us. If not, why not? This should be an important clarion call at this time, not just a skeet. Before it is too late to stop the retaliatory tariffs which will harm Canadians already suffering. 040
Prairie Socialist 🇨🇦 @prairiesocial.bsky.social · 27/08/2026Fortunately we have an economist with a deep understanding of Canadian and world finance to give this a considered review. When I hired Carney for the job - I agreed to give him space to perform it. Micro-managing someone without the skills and intellect is one thing - this is too early. #cdnpoli 260
Keith Walsh @ktwalsh.bsky.social · 27/08/2026The government seems to always be avoiding even hinting that it might, just maybe, someday, use even a milligram of the our potential leverage. 000
Leif Harmsen @harmsen.net · 27/08/2026A petition asking that we do export tax our energy and critical minerals to the US would be helpful. Even if Canada decides not to do it, it should be clear that as an option it has Canadian public support. Canadian negotiators could point to it as a real threat and play the "good cop". 010
Gregory @joygregory.bsky.social · 27/08/2026While Danielle Smith tries to argue that wouldn't be nice. Thank goodness she isn't in charge of negotiations! 100
#LestWeForget @canadiandragoness.bsky.social · 26/08/2026I would also like to recommend that some type of tax or surcharge be placed on the profits Canadian companies owned by Americans that get sent to the states. There are tens of millions of dollars leaving our economy that should be reinvested in Canada. 1253
CBinVan 🇨🇦 @cbinvan.bsky.social · 28/08/2026This is something we have but we should keep it up our sleeves until the time calls for it. Moe and Smith need to shut up and let our negotiators handle things, Nothing is off the table tho. 010
Ian Masters🇨🇦 @ianmasters.bsky.social · 27/08/2026I think if Canada acts too heavy handed in our response it will only ferment anti-Canadian sentiment in the USA and strengthen Trump's hand domestically. Our response has to be measured, reasonable and fair. If Trump continues to escalate then those cards may be played when appropriate. 000
Avi Lewis @avilewis.ca · 26/08/20262/ When you’re in a trade war, every bit of leverage matters. We may be smaller than the US, but we have commodities that its economy depends on. We should tax those goods – oil, gas, thermal coal, potash and other minerals to hit Trump where it hurts. Call it playing our trump card. 214219

🇨🇦 crucialwax 🔵 @crucialwax.com · 27/08/2026They did not all walk into a bar. But they are strange bedfellows. Canadians wants strength from its leaders. Not words, actions. 010
