Trudeau decided to go ahead with retaliatory tariffs even though Trump’s order includes a mechanism to escalate the rates if Canada retaliates against the U.S.
Brother, your economy is getting gigafucked by Trump either way.
You can slow-roll it, with the impact lasting decades, or the world can sign up for one shitty month that will result in Trump being neutered by Congressional Republicans who are terrified of 2026.
Oh sure, I’d love to watch the entire world rallying together against trump.
I’m just saying that you still have a country with people that need food on the table. That “shitty month” you’re talking about can and probably will mean the literal end for countless people and entire families.
This is not a game with only 10 factors, it’s real life with thousands upon thousands of factors. It’s not that easy.
the world has too many right wing govs currently to handle any fallout form such efforts. they no doubt don’t see benefits; they just have no idea how to actually govern and are just in it for the cash.

If someone shoots at you, you don’t shoot yourself in the foot to spite them. Canada is reliant on US trade. Cutting it off entirely would cause a serious economic shockwave that’s hard to understate.

The foot has already been shot, and trying to save it will end up costing the rest of the leg at best.
Amputate the fucker to save the leg.
