Europe got tariffs and he drove a wedge between us and them. We can sit back down and say thank you for the pass or stand strong with Europe and the other countries.

Before all this was released he threatened if we teamed up in retaliation with others it would be bad.

He is playing us against our other trading partners.

@tehWrapper @ValueSubtracted We will hang together or surely we will hang separately.

"He punched everyone else worse" is not how you court forgiveness from what were once your best friends.

He's mostly just raising taxes on Americans without using the word tax.

We were "spared"? They're fucking with us. We got no clear info, our leaders will be scratching their heads over this trying to make sense of it for the next few days, then he'll change the terms in 5 minutes or at 3am or next week, and he'll blame it on what we were wearing.

He's a predator. Kicking Canada and Mexico and trying to force us to say thank you for it.

Meanwhile Doug Ford is doing his USA - Captain Canada tour. And I just heard the mayor of Orillia, ON (still iced in after the last storm) say "keep the faith and make Orillia great again" in his interview on CBC radio. Was around 5:50-52.

Crazy days.

I don't think any 5d chess is going on here. I think it is as simple as "Holy fuck! Canada stopped spending their money here. This is causing a lot of damage!".

The damage is done so save your sweet nothings Mr. Trump/Elon.

His handlers probably told him to take it easy on Canada and make it seem like he's getting along with PM Carney.

Over the past week or so, it seems like they are trying to pull back from PP. Maybe hoping it might swing the election a little

Maybe, but now it just looks like Carney can effectively deal with Trump since nobody is fooled by the kindergarten attempt at reverse psychology.

Unfortunately there are a lot of right-wing political commentators who are absolutely creaming their pants over it.

[–] OldTellus@lemmy.ca 4 points 1 day ago

That's true.

Trying to help pp with the election. They accidentally united all of Canada

Wouldn't be surprised to see him release those later, after the media storm

[–] SGforce@lemmy.ca 5 points 1 day ago

I think he just forgot

What percent of Canadian auto sector trade is not USMCA compliant? Yikes... gemini says 62%. With EVs harder to comply.
