On the other hand, I'd love to see a short trade war, because it hits Trump-loving provinces the hardest. Let leopards eat their faces.

Which provinces do you think would not get hurt by this, or even not as much? BC is the only one that might get away okay that I can think of, and I'm not even sure about that.

I think it's cruel to wish ill fate on a fellow Canadian. Please consider that no province in this country, from east to west, is a monoculture, politically speaking. I say this as an Albertan.

On the one hand this is threatening and scary. On the other hand, this is Trump's way of declaring opening position on a new trade agreement. He's scrapping the old one he made.

The news also prompted a flurry of late-evening phone calls: between Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and Trump, and between Trudeau and several provincial premiers, in an effort to defuse the danger to Canada's economy.
"It was a good discussion and they will stay in touch," a Canadian official said of the Trudeau-Trump call. The prime minister also spoke with the premiers of Ontario and Quebec.
I wish the other problems facing citizens of Canada were treated with this same kind of urgency from the federal government.
This one's pretty damn existential. Man, you thought inflation was bad before...
I wish the other problems facing citizens of Canada... Federal government
Day to day problems are rarely handled by the federal government.
You'd need to ask your provincial and municipal governments why they aren't moving with urgency to help Canadians.
While you're at it, ask Doug Ford why he hates the people of Ontario.
I'm not sure I understand your point. I'm talking about things like housing and affordability, which affect people across the country. These things could be handled more proactively on the federal level, and with coordination between GoC and the provinces. A $250 cheque and a gst holiday in advance of an election is bread and circuses. There are real issues that the nation is far behind on. The current government has done a bad job with these. They've lacked the ability or will to even identify housing and affordability as matters for intervention.
Sorry, I just can't agree with anyone who thinks the current federal government has done all they could do to address these issues. The whole notion of "that's not the job of the federal government", it's mealymouthed, and I don't think it's an acceptable position.
Bang on. They're all culpable and doing nothing to address the underlying problem because they all know the solution bites the hand that feeds them (those with money).
As a good example we all witnessed over the last year + constant initiatives by all governments to free up capital to ease the building of housing. Outside of the government what private company is going to not want to maximize their profit when building housing? Rental units and low income housing will never be prioritized. Hell starter homes will never be prioritized there's no money in them.
Every opportunity for any level of government that is flush with land to say "we will build housing" like they did decades ago. Of course that would require real leadership and we all know that's not what is on the menu in politics anymore.

How is this legal under NAFTA?
I don't think fascists are big on fair play.
Last time he was in power, he unilaterally tore up the original NAFTA agreement. He's far more unhinged and unrestrained this time.

call me a conspiracy theorist however much you want. I still believe that he and his friends such as elon musk will purposefully crash the american economy to be able to purchase stocks at a lower price
Grift is always the goal
Itβs not just stocks they can buy up houses and land for super cheap and cause an even worse housing crisis
No way the guy who made so much money with crypto would do this to the country /s

Welp. Time to join the EU.
Absolutely, however it's done, Canada needs to reduce its trade dependency on the USA.
