The vast majority of MAGA are severely underestimating the effects that tariffs will have. Couple that with the increasing drive for all other western countries to align trade away from the USA, it's going to be brutal I think.

Yet another successful move by far right media, to create voter apathy in those folks. The belief that somehow the Biden/Harris admin was comparable or worse on foreign policy is utter madness.

Damage is done here in Canada, in regards to American trade relations. Governments at every level, private citizens and companies see the risk that this US administration poses. The betrayal is deeply felt. Going forwards, a strong aversion to American products and services will likely take place.

Even conservative, Trump supporters are realizing this in Canada. Its changed how people shop and regard cross-border vacays/trips.

I chuckled when I read the release, of COURSE he takes credit for it now. Just a show. I hope overall tariffs can be avoided, I worry most for the manufacturing sectors. It would be catastrophic on both sides.

Noticeably quieter from the convoy crowd. On the other hand, engaged, ordinary Canadians fear and are disgusted with what is happening to the fascist swing with Trump. They realize it could happen here too.

Surprisingly, to Trump's credit (hard to find these days), so far his administration has taken steps to maintain and increase pressure on Putin's war in Ukraine. www.ft.com/content/64b7...

Tariffs will shut down North American auto production within a week, the industry warns. Canada’s auto sector exported $51 billion worth of vehicles in 2023 and 93% of them went to the U.S. Within days, the entire industry could shut down.

I'm all for a steep tariff on Tesla, and on Ford shredding this deal with Starlink, yet another move for Canada to have. Especially pending response or escalation from the US.

Its a strongman approach to everything, at the cost of everything. No integrity, class or empathy leads to this. And you're right, his base is enjoying it, until it starts to hit home. Only question is, can their media spin it enough they don't realize what's actually causing the hardships?

A unified Canadian approach to the US tariffs is absolutely needed, and so far, Ford has shown to be a solid part of it. Its in his and everyone's best interests.

Apparently roughly 5kg was seized by CBSA, up almost 800% from previous years. Still, its a nothing burger, and it's widely known that the fent is produced domestically.

Well, the 43lbs seized at the Canadian border was something. What about the 21,100lbs seized at the Mexican border last year? Working together on this issue takes skill and leadership. Something Trump severely lacks.

As percentage of GDP is misleading due the size difference of the countries. The point a lot of people don't get, is that the input products that USA buys at a DISCOUNT from Canada and Mexico fuels their industries. Get ready.

Ford has proven recently to have a better viewpoint on things. I believe he can stand up for what's best for Canada at this moment. Smith is a lost cause.

The USA has had two major plane crashes in the last 4 days. The USA had previously not suffered a major plane crash for 16 years. ‘DEI’ programs have existed for decades. So what was it that changed in the last 14 days or so to suddenly cause so many crashes?

Inflation? Is that you? With Mexico and Canada actioning retaliatory tariffs on USA goods, one would be ignorant to assume this will end well in the short term. For any citizens on either sides.

Senseless, broad sweeping tariffs by Trump echoed and intensified by retaliatory actions north of the border, with Mexico closely behind. No citizens will benefit from this.

The USA and Canada have long benefited greatly from open and fair trade, with bumps along the road. Both sides have historically pressed their issues, with concessions. This is different. No logic is behind these tarrifs, and no citizen on either side will benefit if they stay in place long.

Yes, this administration is dangerous and cruel, but they are also shockingly dim and incompetent. Opportunities are everywhere. Make everything as hard as possible. Resist every demand. Refuse entry without a warrant. Don’t take the buyout. Their problem solving skills are 📉
