Guys, American here.
Hit Tesla, Meta, Amazon, hard as fuck. He raised tariffs 25%? Raise theirs 70%. Nail us with 25% on oil and electricity or shit, just shut it the fuck off.
Nip this fuck face in the bud now or he will just keep keep going.

The best suggestion I've seen, personally, is just to stop respecting American copyright law's bullshit.
Cory Doctorow thought that through: https://pluralistic.net/2025/01/15/beauty-eh/#its-the-only-war-the-yankees-lost-except-for-vietnam-and-also-the-alamo-and-the-bay-of-ham
Anything to hit the billionaire class and his supporters hard, I'm 100% on board.
Yarrrrrrr. I couldn't agree more
I wish I could upvote this 1000x

Isn't Canada in an agreement with the US that trades "no tariffs" for "no infringing on copyright"?
If the US is imposing tariffs, Canada should now be free to copy any American product.
Or was I lied to?
This also means Canada should be free of its water transit treaties. Let's divert water from flowing south over the border.
Kick Nestle completely out of the country, too -- no more cheap access to our water.
Start right now on new local beef processing faciliities.
Nestle is European, but I'll always support a witch hunt for those greedy psychopathic fuckers
Thanks for the clarification on Nestle!
But yeah... agreed, f them it would be wonderful it they got caught in the splash damage.

Agreed. Fight fire with fire. The only way to get the people to react is to make them uncomfortable. We tried reasoning, that failed. Let the leopards loose.
More in this case, bullies and fascists only respond to force, that is all. There is no decorum, no societal norm, no mutually agreeable term that can be arrived at. Punch them in the face and keep doing it until the consequences are greater than the benefits of acting as such.
Power, through force is the ONLY thing they respect and understand.
copyright
just make content ludicrously expensive and force people to pirate it, then donβt follow up on people doing so
thatβll make some very powerful interest groups that basically only exist in the US absolutely frothy with rage

There's a bit of a problem here though.
Say we put tariffs on services from Amazon for example. What should they apply to? Amazon the online store and Prime Video? Or should we also apply them on cloud services? Because a LOT of Canadian companies are using their cloud services.
Even if they switched to Google, wouldn't we want to tariff them as well for supporting Trump also? Or even Microsoft? They all spent a million $ for his inauguration. And I'd bet they would bend to his demands if push comes to shove.
We always knew that we depended too much on these companies and it's never been so obvious than now. When we're suddenly at the mercy of a psychopath fascists dictator president at the controls of our biggest economic partner.
I don't know how you could tariff Meta, but I'd love if it was crippled so the essential groups I'm in would move somewhere else. I only ever get served posts from 1 or 2 of my real acquaintances as needles in a haystack of irrelevant trash.
Oops. Sorry, Meta. We just passed a law that you now have to pay a 300% monthly tax to operate in our country and every 3rd Tuesday of the month, Zuck has to publicly address the nation that he "Is a ginormous doo-doo head who likes to smell farts and sucks at hockey." Again. So sorry, buddy. -Canada.

The good solution is rather to invest in diversity of sources. For the oil side, the solution is to invest in renewables and electrification as to not depend on oligarchs anymore, just like China is massively doing by the way.

You guys in canada should 100% support retaliatory tariffs. Fire them at us as hard as you can. Make us a pariah.
We fucked around. We should find out. We couldnt learn from round one of trump. We couldnt learn from watching the train wreck that was brexit. If you dont quid pro quo. If you capitulate. We will not learn our lesson.
Teach us and do not make our mistakes.
I think americans, or at least american conservatives, are too stupid to learn.
I was just reading about a conservative tax plan in Kansas ( https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kansas_experiment ) that by pretty much all metrics failed. Yet somehow they aren't run out of town.
Well thought out TARGETED tariffs. Tariffs generally hurt us all. Us being the 99%. Stupid general tariffs benefit the 1% who can buy up the mess made from tanking the economy. Also, TransplantedSconie makes some great points

As an American, I am SO SORRY Canadian friends. We don't deserve this.
American here.
Help.
Do what you can to crash the American economy, IDGAF. I don't know, grasping at straws.
Adopt me?
Help turn the entire world against America? Whatever it takes.

Man, cheeto is in a rush to speed run to the find out stage...
I demand puts retaliatory taxes to the US, let them suffer
Start taxing the fuck out of u.s. automakers
I'm boycotting all American goods and services. No more Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Disney (Never did go to Walmart). Going to be looking elsewhere for these things now.
I saw this image being passed around online. As an American I can't comment on the accuracy of it, but hopefully it or similar lists help in your search.
Thanks! Not sure of how accurate this is. I know there's a Lay's factory near me that makes chips. I guess the parent company is American. But that's still a handy cheat sheet.
Iβm hoping for 100% tariffs on US Teslas and removing the current tariffs on Chinese EVs.
Carefully thought out trade with China would completely undercut and undermine the US, especially if other countries join. I agree and hopefully it becomes a trend. America is a great country but it's not more important than the world.
Markets gonna lose 10,000 points on open
I hope so. That would be a nice fucking wake-up call to the orange traitor shitcuntβs moron supporters.
Renegotiate so that these products go elsewhere for the next 4 years.
