Do you disagree with the notion tariffs should be reciprocal? Trump states going forward he intends on charging the same percentile the country in question charges us. Which in turn either makes things fair, or causes the other country to lower their tariffs.
Have you heard the initial conversation between Trudeau and Trump that set off the “51st state” comments? Trudeau said without current US subsidies Canada will cease to exist.
No , Trump said that.
President Trump has repeatedly suggested Canada would be better off if it agreed to become the 51st U.S. state.

"I think Canada would be much better off being the 51st state because we lose $200 billion a year with Canada. And I'm not going to let that happen," he said. "Why are we paying $200 billion a year, essentially a subsidy to Canada?"
The U.S. is not subsidizing Canada. The U.S. buys products from the natural resource-rich nation, including commodities like oil. While the trade gap in goods has ballooned in recent years to $72 billion in 2023, the deficit largely reflects America's imports of Canadian energy.
Trudeau's comments came after Mr. Trump on Monday
agreed to a 30-day pause on threats to impose 25% tariffs on imports from Mexico and Canada, with another 10% tariff on Canadian oil, natural gas and electricity.
You are raging a tarriff war on the one of your biggest suppliers, if you think Canada isnt it you need to go look for better resources, we are your closest allys ,
If you think no one fucks with the usa, wait until you attempt to overthrow canada.
Eggs , gas and groceries are still higher priced here in america, they are infact inflating again.
Canada is now pulling its own "buy only canadian" movement which is working and almost all provinces pulled all american alcohol from shelves
I guess though im talking to a brick wall cause youll never see it for what it actually is
and if you dont like CBS
"Trump turned to social media to explain his rationale by stating that the US is paying “hundreds of billions of dollars to subsidise Canada. Why? There is no reason. We don’t need anything they have. We have unlimited energy, should make our own cars, and have more lumber than we can ever use. Without this massive subsidy, Canada ceases to exist as a viable country. Harsh but true!”."
The Canadian response – the imposition of 25 per cent tariffs on the $30 billion on imports originating in the US, is effective immediately
