We will let Canada know the tarrif that US citizens will pay to get Canadian products. That's what he means, though he is too much a dumbass to know it.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

If I were say... Disney, I'd consider planning a Canada Disney Land due to all the missed non-American's avoiding tourism in Florida. Just Sayin'...
Good. I was a bit worried that we'd make some concessions to end the tariffs. Once you've paid the Dane-geld you'll never get rid of the Dane. We have other partners to trade with.
Well lets see I wonder what the reason for this could be. Could it be the deal we signed with Greeland on Thursday? Could it be the 2.5bil US companies owe us on Monday? Could it be the fact they murdered one of our Citizens? gee which one could it be?
Fuck em and fuck that country. I hate Nazi's and it makes my stomach churn that I have to live above a nation full of them.
Meh...I need to go for a shit.....RS
Congrats to Canada on their newfound status of not having to listen to trumps noise anymore.
And no worries, America will be back soon on its knees groveling for lumber and fish. Just ship it through Mexico, itll be fine.
Lol oil. Railcar from Alberta to BC, onto a tanker to Mexico, then railcar back up to Montana for the refineries that are tooled specifically for tar sands oil.
Sure it's expensive, but oil from across the pond is about to be as well, or did Iran back down on that?
I’d like someone to do the maths for me how much energy will be used versus how much is created after all that…
Yeah, well, Trump says lots of things. None of which have any meaning or worth. He'll be saying the opposite next week.
"We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying..."
How has he still not learned that it is Americans and American businesses that pay the tariffs.
Right, but he can't raise income tax very much, and he needs money to give to all the rich fuckers, so a big federal sales tax "disguised" as a tariff is a decent way to raise funds.
Don't need to raise the income tax. The government makes up the money. Could simply turn on the printers and give to the billionaire. The cruelty is the point as it always is.
He knows, but he also knows that his base is too dumb to recognize it, so he lies because raising taxes on Americans is unpopular.

Oh he knows. He's just compelled to lie by whatever that jelly is in his head that is a brain in normal people.

That means nothing. He will taco. Then Canada will get even more pushed away from our once great partnership.
Remember how Trump fucked up the election in Canada for the conservatives? They literally had it in the bag. But Taco showed up with his tiny mushroom dick.
If people could stop putting that man’s meat and two veg in my head, that would be great…
Thursday, Canada signs huge rare earth mineral mining deal with ~~Iceland~~ Greenland, humiliating Trump.
Friday, Trump throws a tantrum.
Do you mean Greenland or did they do some deal with Iceland?
Ugh. No, you're right. Greenland.
It's easy to remember which one is which, Iceland is green and Greenland is covered in ice.
I was so focused on making fun of Trump that I messed it up.
Iceland = Bjork, Greenland != More ice-covered land than green.
I love Björk. She's small and angry.
In the 90s UK Spitting Image did a whole sequence of "101 things to do with a Bjork" - she was living in England at the time being her awesome self. Go take a peek on youtube for it!
I have my own list of things to do with a Björk.

Lol Donald announced that he's shutting up? Canada wins
And U.S. consumers lose because, if there's still anyone unclear on this, we pay the goddamn tariff and not a single person in Canada.
Well there is counter tarrifs on some US goods we'd hypothetically pay... if we were still buying US products, that is.
As an embarrassed American, I would urge you to boycott any remaining goods until such time as we're not a Nazi shithole. Might be a while.
Don't worry... already on it.
We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying
...that's... not how this works...

How dare the Canadian government get American companies to pay their fair share for operating here [in Canada]
How dare they charge *checks notes* the same thing Visa and Mastercard charge everyone in our entire country for everything.

I'm in favour of gradual weakening of the US leading to its ultimate dismantling. The sub-300 year experiment has clearly failed, so there's zero reason for the US to exist in its current form.

Canada needs to start cashing in their US Bonds. Let's watch the US economy start to crash.
I feel like that’s probably our nuclear option and we’re holding out for now since it’s likely Trump chickens out again
Agree with @regedit Canada should cash in a few bonds, and when president felon freaks out, do a few more. Explain to the orange child that he needs to shut up about Canada, drop the tariffs and observe the trade agreements. America deserves all the backlash the world is piling on it right now. Republicans are vile scum, treat them with the disrespect they have earned.
