LeT's StArT a TrAdE wAr WiTh OuR AlLiEs -my fucking countrymen, apparently
I hate this fucking timeline
Here are some numbers to consider.
The US sold $441 billion worth of goods and services to Canada in 2024.
Canada sold $482 billion worth of goods and services to the US in 2024.
The US has a populating of 334.9 million people.
Canada has a population of 40.1 million people.
Per capita, every American man, woman, and child spent $1,316.81 on Canadian goods and services.
Candians spent $12,019. 95 on American good and services.
Who isn't pulling their weight in this trading relationship?
This isn't about illegal immigration and it isn't about the 20 lbs of fentanyl that tried to cross the border from Canada.
This is about the billionaire class raising taxes on the poor and raising prices for Americans.
Who isn’t pulling their weight in this trading relationship?
Not how that works. Even with a "trade deficit", a trade relationship must have an element of bilaterality. You're exchanging something for something. The exception would be when one side militarily has their boot on the other side, i.e., sweatshop/imperialist relations. Which the U.S./Canada relationship is not exactly a poster child of.
Congrats Trump and his buddies, you managed to not only save Trudeau but make the nation rally behind him out of national pride and defense.
Congrats Putin
ftfy
Get ready, middle class, for our glorious new era of Trumpflation.
Except now it will be branded FreedomFlation (TM). This is done to put our glorious Dear Leader and his pals like fElon on a pedestal! Don't worry if you and your kids go to be hungry and have no idea if you'll keep your home tomorrow...donvict will bask in the glory of a brand new, gloriously golden 'merica.
And no complaining about it to anyone, because there will be donvict colluders to snitch on you for your thought crimes and redhatters hanging around with special uniforms to send you and your family off to glorious reeducation camps, er, centers, so you'll be thinking properly again in no time!
I wonder how long Trump and his buddies are going to be able to ignore the mess they are making of the stock market now which hurts his businesses world supporters. It certainly is going to hurt US car companies hard.
Don't worry comrade! This is all for the promise of making 'merica great, again! Even if market indicators under Biden were all pointing in fantastic directions, this will be even better, at some unstated time in the future, and you won't have any of that WOKEMINDVIRUS or brown people speaking funny languages or that one trans athlete to deal with no more.
As a Canadian, I’ve already seen my nearest grocery store put up labels on shelves like “made in Canada” and aside from pricing it is gonna make it easier to avoid American products
Haha gotta love it
Well, that was fast.
Trump is so horrible he got Americans to side with the country putting retaliatory tariffs on them.
Also it should be pointed out that Trump essentially declared war on an ally because he wanted to seize Canadian land.
Any talk about drug trafficking is silly since the first thing Trump did was pardon one of the biggest drug traffickers in the world, Ross Ulbricht
All drugs should be legal
IMO they should be decriminalized for personal use, but having corporations selling hard drugs is a terrible idea
Isn't it great that a narcissistic jackass with no understanding of economics is Duning-Krogering all to death?
