Akin to Putin invading Ukraine, the tariffs aren’t a trade war, they’re a Stupid Economic Operation.

Not to mention the "Governor Trudeau" extra-dumb.
God I hate politics-by-Twitter. I'm appalled that the US is turning into a fascist country, but I'm even more appalled by how pathetic, puerile and trashy the US' new fascist overlords are. At least Hitler dressed in Hugo Boss and made speeches that enthralled people: MAGA dresses like tramps, Steve Bannon-stylee and bullies other countries like kids on the playground.
Not to mention the “Governor Trudeau” extra-dumb.
Trudeau is probably above that, but it would be mildly amusing if he started calling Trump "comrade Trump" or maybe "vice-president Trump"
We should all be calling him by his real name, "VP Krasnov".
ETA: and "Murca" is now glorious "KRASNOVIA"
He called him "Donald" and republicans/maga are outraged!!! lol

In 6 months, he's going to be talking about how Canada started this trade war.
He's probably already saying this.
He's basically saying it now. He is calling his current tariff "reciprocal".

@imvii Perhaps since little donny says he does not need anything from Canada we should shut off his electric and oil now. That would be before he could effectively replace it.
I'm down for it.
There is a little buzz that Trump is going to back pedal in a day or two, which would be hilarious. But I think we keep the pressure on even if he does.
None of this back and forth shit.
If he backpedals I still hope the LCBO donated all that American liquor to the Legion and bars for one ultra liquor holiday.
They pulled the trigger, I don't want that shit back on the shelves, even if they do call taksies backsies.
They better not put that shit back on the shelves. It's the 2nd time that we've pulled it off the shelves, and we keep putting it back on. FOR WHAT
It's better to just sell it and not replenish the stock than to dispose of it all at a massive loss. The US sellers won't get more money either way, but this way some losses can be avoided on the Canadian side.
"While Ontario-based retailers will have the discretion to sell whatever stock they have on hand, they will no longer be able to buy U.S. products from LCBO," the email continues.
