Don’t negotiate with terrorists. His words are worthless because he doesn’t honour them. We need to shift pur economy away from the US right the fuck now.

    Why Canada? Why? Please keep the tarifs on red states. Please funnel commerce through blue states. Snowflake orange dipshit will screw over anyone but himself and those dumber than him. We need a wakeup call!

      They are smart. They are taking the extra 30 days to cut the U.S. out of everything they can. They even said this was the reason they didn’t kick off all of their tariffs for 90 days - to let Canadian companies find alternatives.

      Damage to the U.S. has already been done.

      Screw it.

      Block it all. Block it ALL!!!

      I’ve been saying for years (decades?) that we need to stop treating the US like a friend. At the very best, they’re a giant that may roll over in their sleep and crush us.

      But now, the US has openly declared (economic) war on us, and Trump still keeps talking about making us the 51st state.

      We need to swallow the pain and block the US as much as humanly possible. Ban immigration from the US - including cross-border married couples and asylum-seekers. Visas owned by Americans working in Canada will not be renewed on expiration. Start enforcing CanCon laws again, across all media (esp. streaming platforms). Deny access to Canada for all pro-fascist organizations. Fox News and Newsmax? Gone.

      This isn’t about Trump’s stupid tariffs, it’s about what he intends to use them for - leverage to take over Canada. We’ve been too complacent and complicit for too long, but it’s time to stand, united, at our southern border and say “you shall not pass.”
