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

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.
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.

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.
No Bias there

Nein! You cannot contradict der Fuhrer!
Do you speak for the King

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.
nah it’s rough watching it start up here too. obviously less rough, but still, it’s growing

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

A note to beaten housewives everywhere: don’t try to leave your husband because you’ll lose your financial security.

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!

A lot has happened today after Trump’s tirade. Ontario’s Premier Doug Ford announced he would be suspending this Ad Campaign after consulting with Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney:
Manitoba’s Premier Wab Kinew has a short video in the same style as the ad where he supports this Ontario Ad Campaign. It’s a well done quick response:
I think the Ontario Ad is very well done and I’m glad to see a NDP Premier supporting a Conservative Premier on this and a Conservative Premier publicly supporting a Liberal Prime Minister. Canada is uniting and Trump is unhappy.

My response to your brilliant “beaten house wives” comment? I was just speechless. I am still having troubles typing this has taken me hours to type outtttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttttt sorry fell asleep there.

i love the vib you are dropping but closing boarders is the wrong thing to do.
I dunno about it being wrong. It’s time. Let’s say the quiet part out loud, we don’t want these people having such access anymore. I love America, I love Americans, but they are having a moment and it’s time to restrict their access.

All of your responses boil down to, “I disagree and you hurt my feelings.” I wouldn’t call that statement brilliant, but I guess it could be to some. If you don’t want to be mistaken for a snowflake, you might want to not let yourself get too worked up when strangers on the internet disagree with you.
If typing is hard, copy this:
ad hominenRead up on it, and you might have an idea why your responses do little to promote your opinions.
And if you want to use memes to get the point across, here’s mine:

Surprisingly, Twitter users are even defending Canada against the overt bullshit that the Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation put out. I expected much less fact-checking and more tribalism from Elon’s social media website but came away pleasantly surprised.
They’re starting to erase the supposed tenants of conservative values, worshipping Regan and small government.
The small government stuff was always bullshit but until now he’s been able/forced to hide behind Regan conservatives. Now he’s conflicting with their jesus and doing it in a very overt way.
I do think attacks like this are highly effective because it forces their cognitive dissonance into scrutiny and it’s another chip in the brainwashing.
Many can be swayed like this though anyone who’s made it their identity is too far gone because they won’t accept logical arguments.

It’s pointless to negotiate with an insane person.

You know you can go outside right?

No problem, let’s also stop supplying power for the entire Northeast then
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.
Whoa whoa whoa, wait, that link you just sent shows the exports as way higher, maybe I’m missing something?
