Trump says he's terminating trade negotiations with Canada over Ontario anti-tariff ad

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.
-
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.
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.

DST back is a start.
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.

Yeah about 40 years ago, we should have been maximizing our resources not hindering them. Also encouraging manufacturing not taxing and burning it in red tape at every step forward. We have an oil refinery on the East Coast that has to buy oil from the Middle East or Russia because we can’t get our own oil to this location. Although we have shipped Alberta oil from Burnaby BC down the West Coast to the Panama Canal through to the Atlantic Ocean up the East Coast to Irving Oils Refinery. Isn’t that Green? If only we had a way to get that oil across the Country. Now our feet are in the fire and we have a PM that is dragging his ass and using every excuse to not build a pipeline in Canada, Brookfield has lots in the US and elsewhere though. This is the easiest solution to get things rolling in Canada. But no, he is using existing projects that are already nearing completion. We need to start selling our oil, gas, minerals, wood, grains, meat and everything else to the world but we still need the US market for the stuff that we just don’t have. We are not Euro trash we are Canadian and I will buy American before I buy an EU product.

A cogent, well-reasoned response. I’m convinced!
