Trump says he's terminating trade negotiations with Canada over Ontario anti-tariff ad
-
why? genuinely curious why that would be bad to not have open borders with a country that clearly loves to threaten and extort and blackmail?
if my street neighbours did that to me, I’d never grant them access to my property either.
Think of it more like a fight with your neighbor’s landlord who’s promoting bullshit with the HOA. Banning your neighbors from visiting doesn’t really solve the issue and just hurts regular people.

Doug Ford can eat shit all the way but it is pretty funny how he’s doing the slightest efforts to pretend to have a backbone… but even a whiff of non-acquiescence evokes the full might of authoritarians so it ends up having almost the same effect as actually be fighting back hard as nails. This timeline is messed up that this moron doing jack shit is being consequential.

He let every single greenhouse in Ontario get bought out by a US company, while he only concentrates on alcohol for his simps.

Canada/Ontario is not allowed to have the Reagan opinion that tariffs are bad in order for (totally constructive with progress) negotiations to resume?
Nein! You cannot contradict der Fuhrer!

No problem, let’s also stop supplying power for the entire Northeast then. At this point our population is nearly 100% committed to dealing with the difficulties of cutting ties with the US.

That will be easy, because we never did. We actually buy US power in certain seasons. If only media would tell us the reality instead of quoting Doug Ford.

Just export tariffs on electricity, other energy, metals and potash. This still makes energy, manufacturing, cheaper for Canadians, while generating social revenue.
Ford did that, then he stopped. Not a tariff, a surcharge.

Trump can fuck off.
Fine, they need us more than we need them right now. I’m confident in that.
Enjoy having no steel aluminum or fertilizer.
They can buy all that from Putin.

Or uranium.
Also Putin.

They can buy all that from Putin.
If Russia sold ALL of the potash it produced to the USA, they would still fall way short of what the US needs.

Is it even practically possible? There are cities where one side of the street is a different country than the other side.

Assuming it hasn’t already been blown up by Ukraine first. Russia’s industry is rather tied up right now.

I have almost all of my US services turned off I just pay for Apple’s cloud, although I could probably stop paying the $1.something as I am using Canadian cloud services now. I have my own .ca domain which has unlimited email addresses (on a Canadian host) so that I can create anonymous emails to slow trackers so I am worthless to the US advertising companies (like the Google). The only reason I still have a gmail account is for YouTube, I however use apps to block ads and trackers. I have a pihole system on my LAN to block trackers and ads, and I use the *arr apps for US TV shows. All though my pihole blocks ads on the CBC app I still pay for it, I get most of my news from CBC now.

American here.
At least you Canadians don’t have to watch this happen to your own country. It’s rough watching from within as an epidemic of stupidity cripples your nation and tanks your quality of life, likely for the remainder of your life.
Trust me. It’s leaking into ours as well. And don’t think this doesn’t affect us. We’ve been very close economic partners to a point that we both rely on each other. This hurts us a lot.

They are trying to use the same playbook up here.

Isn’t Canada essential for most of the USA’s toilet paper supply?

U.S. President Donald Trump says he is terminating all trade negotiations with Canada over an advertisement by the Ontario government that uses the late U.S. president Ronald Reagan’s own words to send an anti-tariff message to American audiences.
In a late-night post to his Truth Social platform, Trump attacked the ad, which he attributed to Canada rather than Ontario, as fraudulent and fake.
“TARIFFS ARE VERY IMPORTANT TO THE NATIONAL SECURITY, AND ECONOMY, OF THE U.S.A.” Trump wrote. “Based on their egregious behavior, ALL TRADE NEGOTIATIONS WITH CANADA ARE HEREBY TERMINATED.”
So I guess CUSMA is dead?
We rely on the US for 75% of our Trade and as soon as Canadians realize this the Better off we will all be.

And maybe it’s a good time for us to diversify.
