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.

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.
He also knows that if he just repeats things people will believe them, even in spite of evidence they can see, feel and touch.
What a stupid timeline, in which the above is true🙄
I'm not certain what he knows or does not know. In any case, his message to MAGA is clear, Canada will pay, and they'll believe it.
I mean, he did make Mexico pay for the wall that he built. Right guys? He did, didn’t he? Fox News said that he did, and they wouldn’t lie, right?!?

That could be true, but he is dumb enough to not understand. Malice or ignorance are always possibilities.

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.

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
I hope not. Please do it. tRump and his shit-sucking base only give a shit when the leopard is dousing them and theirs in hot sauce. If crashing and burning this fucker and our country is what it takes to end him and them, don't wait! Do it slowly, like someone shredding important documents.
Bonus points if they or anyone does it each time this regime tries to lie or bury that pressure point. Rich people back this fuck-squad because they care about two things: their money and their lives. Threaten one and/or the other until they abandon him!

We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying
...that's... not how this works...
It works like that when you assume the other country will desperately lower their export prices and eat the difference so in the end it's still sold at the same price in the country raising the tariffs. In practice the greedy capitalists raise prices in the shops at the mere mention of the concept of tariffs, even when the product is produced locally.
Canada geese are my favorite bird. I see them by the lake all the time. They are perfectly well-behaved, until you deliberately try to piss them off.
Right? They have a terrible rep but they’re pretty fair in my experience. The only time I’ve angered one was when I stepped too close to take a picture of her babies and she did this grass filled mouth hiss at me like a cat. Which to be fair, is fair

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.

Set to take effect on June 30, the DST requires U.S. companies like Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb pay a three per cent levy on revenue from Canadian users
Good.
It should be a lot higher, honestly. Encourage building Canadian services and using European services instead of relying on predatory American monopolies.
3% of revenue is a substantial number.
However, even better:
The tax, which will take effect on 30 June and be applied retroactively from 2022, will impact both domestic and international companies, meaning American giants Amazon, Google, Meta, Airbnb and Uber will have to start payments from Monday.

Canada should back out of the USMCA and stop respecting US IP
It would be highly amusing for Canada to start making Star Wars films without Disney's approval, along with a little "Come get me fuckers".
With the Trailer Park Boys as the main characters. Bubbles as Han Solo.
Some of us never started

This is the equivalent of that obnoxious kid in the neighbourhood saying they're taking their basketball home and no one can play basketball any more .... then after he leaves, someone else brings another basketball anyway.
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.

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.

He's just pump and dumping the stock market again now that there's no Iran to distract us
Yeah, well, Trump says lots of things. None of which have any meaning or worth. He'll be saying the opposite next week.
Conspiracy Time!
I wonder if they are trying to flood the 'Canada' SEO because of this recent event:
https://globalnews.ca/news/11262681/canadian-dead-ice-custody-florida/
The deceased lived in the US for their entire adult life. It's not like a tourist was snatched and died in custody. First, everybody should be outraged about this type of treatment happening to a human being, but there's no reason for Canada to have anything more to do with this.
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.
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.

...proceeds to bomb Canada tomorrow.
Might as well. ICE killed a Canadian citizen.

Is this the country version of DARVO? We killed one of their citizens in an ICE concentration camp, so now instead of apologizing we're lashing out at them? Cool cool cool
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.

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.
I am so sick of having to redo all my estimates every time trump tweets about my country.
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'...
