    They just declared CUSMA dead, so the negotiators should pack up and go home. Tit for tat actions can be reconsidered, digital taxes, etc. There's no point in talking to "Trump's people" and given that Trump doesn't honour agreements, there's no point in talking to him.

    "Trump TACOs before you've even got around to reading this".

    That's speculative, although no doubt he will at some point. And then bring them back again. And then TACO again. And then... ooh look, shiny thing! Shall we bomb Iran some more?

      I mean, really is TACO'd right up front. Trump could have implemented these tariffs immediately, but instead put a pathetic 30 day "please please give in to our rapist behaviour before then" deadline on it.

      Canada should not bend an iota.

      For Americans who aren't aware, this all started with the farcical "Fentanyl" tariffs. Then Trump started tariffing autos and parts, steel, aluminum, and softwood from Canada, with zero justification and COMPLETELY in defiance of USMCA. He outright stated his intention to destroy Canada's industry.

      Canada responded in kind, and if anything far too little. This offended the pedo-ring of rapists and that is literally the foundation of this new round -- that Canada retaliated was enough to setoff this cabal of halfwits.

      The 30 day thing is a sign of incredible weakness, as this administration and garbage like Greer or Howard "Epstein Island" Nutlick desperately try to eek some win out of Canada. What a pathetic group of the planet's worst, most incompetent garbage.

      The bizarre thing is that the only reason there is a trade "deficit" on goods is because of oil imports, so why aren't they tariffing that? Why are they actually asking for more?
