“Because it’s 2025!”
Honesty, this and then Carney and Freeland with their “I’ll cut the carbon tax” and “we won’t implement the capital gains tax increase just yet” should make sentient Canadians wary.
I have yet to hear “we are instituting immediate approvals to support Canadian O&G transportation to tidewater.”

Pre FTA, Canada had nowhere near the end user taxation that we have today. If we roll back to 1987, we have to go all the way or collapse completely.A 25-per-cent U.S. tariff is, however undesirable, very much survivable.
As I have been arguing --- Canada pre-freetrade, worked.
And if GDP did drop it could be recovered by exporting more, and by attracting the investments necessary to get those exports to market.
Opinion: Would Trump tariffs ‘kill the Canadian economy completely’? Not even close
It’s important to remember the Canadian economy did not collapse before free trade, despite being circumvallated by tariff wallswww.theglobeandmail.com
Nor will the jobs suddenly disappear on Saturday.

Those of us to the left of center have more class.
(as do those to the right of center, who comparatively are not flying Palestinian flags)
The ones that put bumper stickers like eff Trudeau are likely to be on the same political spectrum as Trump supporters would be my guess.

Bingo card- out of left field demands to stave off tariffs now that we've jumped when told to jump:
- end of dairy supply management
- Tariff on some/ all non US produced Auto
- Join in tariff action against Mexico and/or China
- Major artic control/defense concession (basing, freedom of navigation, etc)
- Major military purchase(s)

Who tf wants to drink american milk?
Also, when gas spikes in the US, because their oil producers rely heavily on heavy crude and it's still cheaper with tariffs than shipping it across the planet, expect there will be a consumer pushback from even the trumpers.

Probably the most plain spoken, down to earth explanation of Trump, tariffs, trudeau, economy and fixes I've heard yet. YMMV.
IMO, these are the kind of people that should be our negotiators. Not politicians ignorant of global finance, trade and negotiation.

I don't.
But I'm pretty convinced that the border stuff is is a just a plausible excuse to test our response on the path to getting what he actually wants.

Probably, but I think the problem is he doesn't actually know what he wants, and seems to change depending on what story he watched last, so it's pretty impossible to satisfy what is essentially a spiteful child in charge of a superpower.
