    Honestly, it’s simply futile to seek compromises with this tyrannical government. Like all bullies, nothing is enough for them. They will keep on taking from you until you clap back.

    Exactly.

    Why waste time and effort trying to come to an agreement with a regime that routinely lies and has a history of breaking agreements they previously made?

      Not sure why Canada even bothered. Trump is clearly unpredictable and untrustworthy. He’ll go back on his word at the drop of a hat.

      I think it’s for show. “Look, we tried. The problem isn’t Canada.”

        Just cause the US has dropped two nukes (accidentally and unarmed) on Canada does not mean we need to arm up.

                      “Please tax us more as long as it makes the orange man mad”. You people are crazy.

                      If Carney really wanted to stick it to Trump and help Canadians at the same time, he could change piracy laws to decriminalize pirating US content or better yet anything other than Canadian content. But nope, he wants us to pay more for the privilege of having US data grace our routers and phones.

                            The (very real) Maple Syrup Mafia would not be happy if they could not sell to the US. They should really start working at other markets.

                              Sure like breaking bad meth, but in Canada so it is maple syrup instead.

                                Some people are okay with giving up their personal comfort to work against fascists. It’s called having a spine.

                                    I think it’s appropriate to note here that during his first term, Trump tore up NAFTA and negotiated his own trade agreement with Canada and Mexico. Now, just a few years later, he’s torn that one up too. If I were a country considering negotiating a trade agreement with him, I’d keep in mind that any agreement struck could evaporate on his whim.

                                    The solution is to simply not “negotiate” with terrorists. Just make decisions that financially damage them and their cronies, while forming close relationships with non-terrorist states.

                                          As if these taxes never backfire back to the consumer. It’s like a national sport in Canada. Raise taxes, mask it with fancy words as if you’re taxing corporations then when push comes to shove, like what happened during covid, bail out the very same corporations instead of thousands of unemployed and unhoused.
