Keep up the boycott.
When you see American brands running ‘We are Canadian too’ ads you know its working.
The best response to US tariffs is to make free trade deals with UK, EU and others. Free trade will win over protectionism. Protectionism is just dumb and counterproductive.
I agree. Luckily it seems as if that’s starting to happen. It could be nice to see a closer tie in with the EU, but o don’t see that happening for a long time if ever.
We need more trading partners that simple are not America.
We have the resources the world needs. Let’s sell them to the world, and bring industry here at the same time.
Its gonna take a lot of time to make that happen structurally. But if we do it Canada will be a lot better off I suspect. Either way, theres gonna be some hard times ahead in the short to medium term.
Yes. Well unfortunately there will be hard times. The US is already seeing some of those hard times.
Really Canada just needs to completely clock any sale of potash to the US. That would almost completely decimate their farming industry.
Hit them where it hurts them the most. Don’t raise prices, just cut off cold turkey. Bring their agricultural to a stand still.
I don’t understand. We already have a free trade agreement with Europe that has been coming online over the last several years. Why do you think we won’t expand it?
For broader expansion we need to harmonize many industries rules with the EU. It was difficult because the US through the NAFTA free trade agreement pressured us toward weaker regulation and the EU wants stronger regulation. There is also a barrier to make any substantial changes anywhere… since circumstances have changed, we can only expect further extortion from the US, we have all to gain siding with Europe and letting the pain of US tariff happen. We loose a lot short term but will be on the course for way better growth and sovereignty long term.
He said that last time.
If they as low walk it they can still scare companies to break supply chains without driving up prices.
We should enforce retaliatory tariffs as long as there’s a threat of tariffs.
The real retaliatory tariffs would be expert tariffs on oil, electricity, and potash.
Yeah, “hey, we figured you forgot to charge the 25% so we thought we’d be nice and do it for you”.
We more than fulfilled Trump’s demands, and he pushes through anyway.
Stop trusting this guy. The next time he demands something, we need to firmly say “NO.”
God damned right!!
Other than the honourary title of “fentanyl czar” we were already doing everything that he demanded. The only thing that actually happened was that he got to take credit for deals that Biden made.
Rollback all concessions we made.
America already gets a discount on the oil we ship. Turn off that faucet and add a 40% tariff to oil. Let’s see how the orange magot likes his base screaming bloody murder over paying $10 per gallon of fuel.
100% markup on exported hydro. Pull of the kid gloves, fuck this guy. Get at us if you have a problem, FAFO
We should be aggressively creating trade deals with other countries. Starting aggressively building pipelines, creating supply chains etc to Asia, Africa, and Europe. Invest heavily in technology and increasing productivity with ai and automation. Turn us into the super state we always should have been. Let the us turn into a protectionist Christian white nightionalist nightmare and take all the talent they want to turn down because of racism.
And brain drain campaigns to lure all the great talent from the US.
I agree, except with the pipelines, and I am in and worked on the expansion project, and it was fucked up beyond belief, there should be an investigation on what entry in but there won’t be. Not a waste of money but holy fuck it was it of control.
The best thing about this situation is that BC has pipelines and LNG ports to sell oil and gas to Asia. It is the best defense we have against the US.
If I was in charge, I would green-light every pipeline and port I could right now. We need a direct energy line to Europe.
K.
I will continue to avoid US products whether you do it or not, orange monkey.
Are the tariffs “definitely happening this time” until Canada promises to do something they already agreed to again?
Boycotting all things American currently. Hopefully Europe and Canada work together here.
