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?

Canada/Ontario is not allowed to have the Reagan opinion that tariffs are bad in order for (totally constructive with progress) negotiations to resume?

Good, disassociate your dirty selves from us.

Canada should say cool brah, we are terminating trade. Canadians you have 72 hours, borders are closing.

i love the vib you are dropping but closing boarders is the wrong thing to do.

[–] Bluegrass_Addict@lemmy.ca 5 points 2 days ago (2 children)

why? genuinely curious why that would be bad to not have open borders with a country that clearly loves to threaten and extort and blackmail?

if my street neighbours did that to me, I'd never grant them access to my property either.

Think of it more like a fight with your neighbor's landlord who's promoting bullshit with the HOA. Banning your neighbors from visiting doesn't really solve the issue and just hurts regular people.

Is it even practically possible? There are cities where one side of the street is a different country than the other side.

Until it isn't...

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.
