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.

“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.

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.

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

What’s this? We capitulated to a bully and he… turned around and punched us on the mouth? How can this be? Who could possibly have seen this coming?

FFS stop trusting Americans already.

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

Except Canada is going to have to reciprocate in kind. This is basic game theory, tit for tat. We can’t allow ourselves to get stepped on without hitting back.

Opium Wars 3? Do we know that? Got a link for more info?

I didn’t know that. I always assumed it was big drug companies with a backdoor illicit business.

Unfortunately I don’t see every post that’s ever posted to Lemmy, so yes I missed it.

Thanks for the link though.

These guys sound totally unbias…

His followers, who think this makes him a strong leader.

Funny thing is, he’s still a rapist who is partaking in a massive cover up to conceal the fact that he was involved in Epstein’s child sex trafficking empire.

We shouldn’t be doing business with him, regardless of whatever “deal” Canada expects to get from this unstable idiot.

The worst kept secret: Trump is a rapist pedophile. The Untied States is a laughing stock because they not only refuse to enforce their own laws consistently, they make a known criminal who has committed at least 100 felonies their leader. Why do other world leaders put up with this shit?
