Thanks, Trump. I've always wanted to travel to Canada, particularly Nova Scotia, but there is no way in hell I'm going over there now. They fucking hate us thanks to him and I'm sure I wouldn't get a warm welcome.

If the US was that strong they wouldn't need to state it. The bullies are scared and they are going to learn they picked the wrong fight here. They only know how to intimidate but as their efforts in Iran have shown, they are completely out of their element.

trump already lost a traditional war

now it's time for him to lose an economic war

just add to his humiliation

The USA hasn't won a fucking war in literally my entire life. The idea that they've already lost a war of aggression this term and now want another war they'll lose is hilarious. How can a country be so fucking pathetic and weak so fucking often and yet still have the most insane belief in themselves I'll never understand. Hope Canadians can continue to show resolve and make the USA suffer as much as possible.

They want us to sign over exclusive rights to our natural resources and upend our trade relationships with the rest of the world.

They decided the Western Hemipshere belongs to them and everyone in it must be subservient to them.

Since we're refusing they think they can tariff us into submission.

I guess it's FAFO time.

My attitude was initially to see if you could make the US come back to the table and negotiate a little more fairly.

Now after Duffy's comments? Fuck you. Don't negotiate with them at all for the rest of Trump's term. Wait until 2029 and if the next Democratic president wants to deal, make them get on their fucking knees and beg for it.

Pick up the 100k or so people that'll be put on the mat by these tariffs and move on. Fuck em.

Four probable reasons come to mind, not mutually exclusive.

1. He wants to add expansion of US territory to his legacy, similarly to Greenland. Running on his bully mentality, he expects that by a show of force, Canada will just give in and surrender sovereignty to him.

2. Canada is a more socialist-leaning country on the US' border which provides a convenient model for the US to point to and go "hey, the way they do it up there works". If Canada functions like the US it no longer serves as a rhetorical thorn in the Republicans' side.

3. Canada has natural resources that he'd like to monopolize.

4. Tariffs in general are part of a kleptocratic effort to rob the American populace blind and provide them with nothing for their money.

100% it's due to petty jealously shit like this further below, and/or how Canada kicked his family out years ago(the Trump family used to run brothels up here back in the gold rush days).

Also 100000000000000000000000% because we're constantly fucking fighting back every step of the way, and making him look like more of a delusional idiot.

It would be a shame if Canada cut off the power or stopped trading potash or oil.

In the middle of winter or ahead of it.

Don't want none, don't start none.

Trump is a Russian asset. Electing trump, especially the second time, was the moment the US lost the cold war. Canada is an obvious target to go after next, being another member of NATO and being so close to the US.

So what are some common Canadian goods I can buy in the US? Besides maple syrup.

Trump has done so much to expose how weak the US truly is.

The US always negotiating from the perspective of 'We clearly have all the leverage' is really really fucking dumb, and it's been very entertaining to watch how horribly its gone for them.

We Americans have absolutely zero will to suffer through a trade war, while Canadians are ready to fight to defend their pride and sovereignty. We've already lost. I hate that our Canadian friends have to suffer the consequences of our actions in electing these morons.

Speaking for myself, I support giving the middle finger to the US and walking away. I would love to never have to deal with that country for anything substantial ever again.
But these are scary fucking times. It means loss of livelihood and austerity measures domestically. People will lose their jobs, our economy is going to hurt, businesses will close, people will lose their homes.
There's also the looming specter of the actual end goal here. The separation movement in Alberta is being fueled by, you guessed it, Russia and the US. That american dipshit talking about our military today. Russia and the US are using their Ukraine playback on us.
Nobody here wants this. We didn't do anything to deserve the stress and hardship this is causing.
We're furious and many fucking hate the US and will for a generation. But we're not the guy in the comic. I'm scared, personally.
Every time a piece of US/Canada news comes up it ruins my day. I've made peace with potentially dying to protect my country.
Every time that rapist shitbag opens his flab cave and mentions Canada, I'm reminded of this.

Thanks, Trump. I've always wanted to travel to Canada, particularly Nova Scotia, but there is no way in hell I'm going over there now. They fucking hate us thanks to him and I'm sure I wouldn't get a warm welcome.

I think they honestly truly believe that ending all trade between Canada and the US would hurt the US more than Canada. And that Canada could somehow survive it.

They don't even understand why it's a dumb bluff. It's stupid because Americans will just pay the tariffs for another couple years, then the tariffs will be dropped. That's not enough time for a replacement supplier to spawn out of nowhere. What integrated supply chain is going to replace the entire system from scratch when the end date on the tariffs is easy to project?

Canada doesn't need to cave not because Canada can go it alone but because Canada doesn't pay the tariffs anyway and can bet on not having decades of business ties being replaced in the next two years. They're not competing with other countries because Trump's trying to tank trade with all of them because his understanding of how trade works is the same as Era (and CanadaEra especially*), not to replace Canada with someone else by any means necessary. If that was US policy, Canada would cease to exist.

*look at the moron demanding the US be forced to beg for restoring free trade with Canada come post-Trump

There's posters in that thread calling for cutting off energy to the US. They really think a country with a surplus of supply is going to be way more hurt by the country that has nobody else to sell to and who is connected to the larger country's grid. Another thread where I question if Era posters understand geography.

The USA hasn't won a fucking war in literally my entire life.

what's "winning a war" anyway? doesn't the nature of more information + instant communication these days mean that there's no opportunity for the victor to write the history books? every war is murky and complicated and you can always make an argument that the losing side is winning for some reason, everyone is constantly seething and recontextualizing everything so that they're not owned

Day 459 of the North American Naval Blockade

Following the success of the blockade of the strait of Hormuz President Trump has blocked the Gulf of America (formerly known as the Gulf of Mexico) and both the east and west US coasts. The USS Lincoln has suffered 30 casualties from deadly diarrhea as President Trump calls upon the American people to stay strong for the future of their great nation and ensures that construction of the ballroom is ahead of schedule and under budget.

I really don't see the argument for claiming the US didn't win regarding Iraq twice in probably most Era poster's lifetimes. The Ba'athists have not retaken power in Iraq, and they've since lost in Syria. Nobody tries to defend that nonsense anymore. Nobody even seems to give a shit about Iraq's two most recent elected governments.

There's a larger problem involved in people's inability to grasp that something that might have been wrong or questionable to do might not have completely failed in the end.

Because then it becomes an argument of forced adoption and that is a discussion that both sides find uncomfortable to a degree.   

I don’t found the AI results from Google useless, but I also know they can be terrible wrong. So I’m glad they at least put the source even if they hallucinate the what it actually said.

He's setting up the Dems to be the controlled opposition party to handle the Trump establishment with kid gloves if progressives win this Fall. lol

And the benefit of this for the party and himself is…?

I like how ERA are hardcore single issue voters if what they trigger their disdain for establishment politics (Palestine and Trans people on sports) is anything to go by. Not even mentioning ICE in that thread.

What exactly would a slim Congressional majority not being a "controlled opposition" treating it with kid gloves look like? Shutting down the federal government for two whole years?
