Summary
Canadian lawmaker Charlie Angus criticized Donald Trump’s recent tariff threats and attacks on Canada, calling his behavior “juvenile” and “idiotic.”
Trump has proposed a 25% tariff on Canadian and Mexican goods, blaming both countries for issues like migration and fentanyl.
Ontario officials warned of potential retaliation, such as barring U.S. alcohol purchases or restricting electricity exports.
Trump’s remarks, including mocking Prime Minister Trudeau as “governor” of Canada, have escalated tensions ahead of trade negotiations.
Trump thinks that the U.S. buying more from Canada is a “subsidy”. In reality it means that they need us more than we need them(a lot of what they buy is our oil). This will hurt the States more AND I have to hope that their conservative policy will also fuck up our oil sales leading to Alberta finally having to realize that it needs a personality beyond just destroying its environment and being terrible to minorities. One can only dream.
