Just match the American tariffs. They will end up doing the same thing as they did with China: end up backing off.

China has much more leverage than Canada, and they have 30% coming on them in August. So not too much hope of Trump backing off very far, unfortunately.

I just want him to make up his mind and stick to it

👏 Turn 👏 off 👏 the 👏 power.

Even just for an hour. Until all levels of US government understands that Canada is able to disrupt their country in a massive way they will keep playing these stupid games.

Idk I feel like cutting off basic needs for large swathes of civilians might be an irresponsible escalation of an already devolving situation

They are already doing just that to their own people AND we are in their sights. How much to Canadians have to suffer before it's "ok" to push back.

This letter has to be one of the greatest rage-bait posts ever. Trump really know how to do it.

the United States of America has agreed to continue working with Canada, despite Canada having financially retaliated against the United States

Barely and only after he swung the first blow and started shit over nothing, yeah.

the United States imposed Tariffs on Canada to deal with our National Fentanyl crisis, which is caused, in part, by Canada's failure to stop the drugs from pouring into our Country.

"In part" meaning less than a single percent. "Failure to stop" meaning a massive increase in border presence and fentanyl seizures.

Instead of working with the United States

See above, we implemented border security measures to appease the charade of Fentanyl being an issue.

Source

there will be no Tariff if Canada, or companies within your Country, decide to build or manufacture product within the United States

Perfect! Let's just make ourselves the States' little bitch, completely reliant on them for everything and with no details on how much production we even have to move over so that he can just say we didn't fulfill our part of the bargain whenever he wants. Why wouldn't we do that? Jesus H Christ.

Canada charges extraordinary Tariffs to our Dairy Farmers — up to 400%

Two things, 1. tariffs to protect your local agriculture makes sense to not become reliant on other countries for food. 2. that "up to" is doing HEAVY lifting as those high rates are almost never in effect¹, so why do you even care. Oh right, you don't care! This is all a sham.

it's only enraging if you take him at his word, which you should never do. It's all lies and projection, and he's going to do whatever he's going to do regardless of the response.

Less trade with the US the better

Hopefully he actually follows through

So are we gonna get a TACO pool going... everyone bet which day Trump caves and winner takes all.

Our leaderships tried appeasement and appeal to "fortress Can-Am". Maybe they are all paid/programmed to be loyal CIA colonists, and had to at least try keeping the same political capital that brought them to leadership. Fine, we are open to joining EU in context of CIA colonies and NATO subservience, with absurd 5% of GDP spent primarily on US weapons, but that EU proposition must change.

Yes, Canada, EU, and Asian colonies should coordinate on US war against them. It has to be in the context of an alliance with China against the US, or the serious threat of that as a negotiation stance, and full detente with China until negotiations are successful. Removing US from NATO, Council of Americas, and NORAD or charging them significant rent for any bases/presence/services. We must end the US project of a proxy war on Russia, and the delusional fear manufacturing that Russia is a bigger threat than the US, that we only make true through US programed suicidal hatred towards Russia. Joining EU for purposes of distracting population that a war on Russia is more important than economic collapse, just because political power can be rallied behind instead of rejected as cause of collapse, it a bad reason to join EU.

Carney's "The special relationship with US is over" has to be followed up with different behaviour than begging to be a more subservient colony. Maybe this is the final wakeup call? If not, just more abuse to follow.

"You will never be disappointed with the United States of America."

We're fucking disappointed. Every fucking year of this relationshit. You are an utter disappointment in nearly every way.
