Summary
Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau denounced Trump’s sudden 25% tariffs, warning they threaten American jobs and will inflate consumer costs.
He revealed that Trump refuses to take his calls and sharply criticized claims linking tariffs to illegal immigration and fentanyl crossing U.S. borders.
In retaliation, Canada and Mexico imposed matching tariffs, targeting crucial American exports like auto parts, agriculture, and red-state staples like famous Kentucky bourbon.
Trudeau warned American factories may shut, citing integrated supply chains.
There is nothing other countries can really do about this except impose tariffs in kind. When american inflation goes up I hope Americans put stickers on gas pumps and more eating “Trump did this”
Though Trump will most likely absurdly blame Biden & democrats somehow and MAGAs will dumbly eat it all.
If they make this year as shit as possible and it evens out next year they can say they saved the failing economy.
I’ve considered making some for exactly this purpose. This biggest hurdle is I would feel bad vandalizing the pumps and forcing someone else to clean up after me.
Don’t feel bad for the gas companies. Also he put an exception on “energy”. That’s only getting 10%.
I don’t feel bad for the companies; I feel for the poor bastard that has to scrape it off.
They can just take their sweet, sweet time to take them off, time they get paid for. Probably more relaxing too.
I used to be a pump jockey, I personally wouldn’t have minded. Thats just my take of course.
It’s fascinating seeing how leftists think
Are you one of those work ethic advocates?
He doesn’t want to hurt Alberta – they’re his future fifth column
Stupid Marlaina Smith
Canada could start ignoring American intellectual property rights, or shutting off power exports to places like NY.
I want to make ones that say “YOU did this” to maybe MAYBE give the trump dummies/non voters a moment of self reflection.
Tariffs don’t work that way, putting the tariff up was stupid and putting a reactionary tariff up would also be stupid.
