    “Canada has failed to co-operate in curbing the ongoing flood of fentanyl and other illicit drugs, and it has retaliated against the United States for the president’s actions to address this unusual and extraordinary threat,” says the statement.

    If I remember correctly most of the fentanyl found was heading north to Canada not south to the US.

    Canada 'disappointed' by Trump boosting tariffs to 35%, says Carney | CBC News

    Prime Minister Mark Carney released a statement just past midnight on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to increase a tariff on Canadian goods to 35 per cent. He says Canada is still committed to CUSMA free trade, despite Trump following through on his threat.

          This was, and continues to be, never about fentanyl.

          Trump wants to feel like a powerful leader so instead of taking on actual substantial threats to the US economy he bullies his smaller allies, like the weakling he is.

          We can’t transition trade away from that failed state south of us quickly enough. And, as with many of Trump’s shortsighted “bull in a China shop” decisions, this will only serve to motivate us to do so quicker while also detrimentally affecting the US’ own long-term trade prospects.

                Headline should more accurately read: “Trump raises taxes on Americans purchasing goods made in Canada by 35%.”

                  Ironically, we all know the fent is from China and it’s flowing here to fuck us up as a plan to crush us.

                    6. Next time Trump rattles his plastic sabre, it’s another reciprocation +1 more permanent.

                    Or

                    Cut the power by 35%.

                      If you’re Canadian, you don’t pay the tariffs. If you’re American, your country voted for this.

                          That would be far to accurate for the GOP base to understand. In fact, Trump himself doesn’t seem to understand this either.

                                  OMG, he’s still on fentanyl, wow. He didn’t even use the Palestinian statehood on this one. That’s great. It means absolutely no one in Canada would be confused this is bullshit.

                                  The TSX doesn’t seem to have responded, so this either already baked in or everyone bets on TACO. Which makes sense either way because:

                                  However, Canadian goods that meet the terms of the Canada-U.S.-Mexico Agreement will not be subject to the tariff, which means the vast bulk of Canada’s exports can still cross the border tariff-free.

                                  So it’s still just theatre. I’m not sure who the audience is at this point.

                                    Canada 'disappointed' by Trump boosting tariffs to 35%, says Carney | CBC News

                                    Prime Minister Mark Carney released a statement just past midnight on Friday after U.S. President Donald Trump signed an executive order to increase a tariff on Canadian goods to 35 per cent. He says Canada is still committed to CUSMA free trade, despite Trump following through on his threat.

                                      “Canada has failed to co-operate in curbing the ongoing flood of fentanyl and other illicit drugs, and it has retaliated against the United States for the president’s actions to address this unusual and extraordinary threat,” says the statement.

                                      If I remember correctly most of the fentanyl found was heading north to Canada not south to the US.

                                      I would just love it if someone would just tell this guy to fuck off and follow through.

                                        🖕

                                        Fuck Donald Trump.

                                        They’re in a (self imposed) worse position than us, so I think we just keep pushing them.

                                        Today’s hearing on whether the “fentanyl” tariffs are legal swung heavily in our favour that Trump does not have authority to impose them.

                                        It’s no coincidence he throws a shit fit when things are not looking his way, so he’s just trying to extort us into signing something before the courts rule this illegal and they have to pay back all the importers who paid tariffs.

                                        This will likely go to their Supreme Court, so god knows what will happen in October when that happens, but realistically they’ll lose all their leverage and have to gasp follow their own legal framework as laid out in the US Constitution.

                                          Headline should more accurately read: “Trump raises taxes on Americans purchasing goods made in Canada by 35%.”

                                          Headline should also read their defence of Trumps emergency powers had a shit day in court and now he’s trying to do a full court press so we sign while he has a semblance of authority here.
