Canada should just cut off non-vital trade to America until we have a new trade policy

[-] BonesOfTheMoon@lemmy.world 21 points 12 hours ago

My coworker loves Trump loudly and obnoxiously. But she's mad about the tariffs and votes for the NDP here, but says he's "doing good things for his country", but can't identify what. She doesn't know anything about weaponized disinformation, Russian troll farms, or dark money, and I very gently explained these things to her today, and saw this dim light turning on behind her eyes. So many people don't know how badly they've been suckered by weaponized disinformation and dark money.

It hurts itself in its confusion

[-] MashedTech@lemmy.world 34 points 13 hours ago

I love seeing that video of a journalist asking trump about what he said about some tariffs and him responding "I think the other countries pay them". He truly doesn't know how they work.

[-] smayonak@lemmy.world 5 points 12 hours ago

In all fairness, a fringe economist told him that. Navarro still hasn't been able to successfully explain to anyone why tariffs won't raise prices. He gets as far as "they can't raise tariffs on the largest market in the world" as if there weren't high tariffs on the us before.

He may be dumb but not as much as the people who voted for him

Trump: "Fuck framing lumber. All my homies hate imported timber for house framing."

[-] Madison420@lemmy.world 24 points 15 hours ago

Governor? It's he really referring to the Canadian prime Minister as though he is the governor of a state? And they said Biden was losing his grasp on reality.

[-] Frostbeard@lemmy.world 18 points 14 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

It's deliberately disrespectful. He has said that Canada should become a US state. This is convicted felon Trumps way to belittle both PM Trudeau and the sovereign nation of Canada

[-] imvii@lemmy.ca 7 points 14 hours ago

The funny thing is this is Trump's way of trying to insult Canada and our PM, but he comes off sounding like an idiot who doesn't know Trudeau's proper title.

Like, come on USA. Your grandfather is wandering down the street with his pants off again. Can you come get him?

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 4 points 14 hours ago

Can you come get him?

I don't think we can. Not yet anyway. Cut off the power and throw enough tariffs to piss off US corporations we might be able to get people out in the streets.

Just skip to the end and stop all imports and exports between both countries, see how well that goes.

[-] Adderbox76@lemmy.ca 55 points 18 hours ago

God I'm exhausted.

At this point, we just need to cut it all off completely. Oil shipments, electricity, lumber, aluminum. All of it.

I know that that's a hard ask for those industries that are affected, and if it means the federal goverment has to temporarily raise the deficit in order to subsidize those industries it'll be crazy expensive and inflation will shoot up. But I'm convinced that that would be only a short amount of time that that would actually be needed.

Let the United States go one week without our stuff. 100%...fuck 'em. They'll last one week. Maybe two. And when they quit their bullshit, make it clear that we are diversifying our business partners making it easier to pull it from them again anytime they let Trump open is fucking mouth.

Hold our resources hostage against them.

[-] CanadaPlus@lemmy.sdf.org 8 points 15 hours ago* (last edited 14 hours ago)

I mean, if we play all our cards at once, we have no cards left for the next thing, and in the process that might raise enough American political to invade for real.

It should be and I think is all on the table, though, and I have no problem with it if they want to escalate, because we also need to raise political will to sever our ties for good.

[-] rumba@lemmy.zip 5 points 13 hours ago

we have no cards left for the next thing,

That's the game, he's bleeding you for cards.

If he's going to attack you, he'll bleed you first. There is no appeasing him permanently.

Fucked up Beyond All Repair.

[-] Geodad@lemm.ee 73 points 22 hours ago

All this could have been avoided if one guy had slightly better aim.

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 21 points 20 hours ago

Time travelers can't do anything right...

[-] Rubanski@lemm.ee 24 points 21 hours ago

People were thinking about that probably a lot in the 30s and 40s

Looks like the Governor of the 47th Oblast is throwing another hissy fit.

[-] Superheavy@lemmy.world 52 points 22 hours ago

Bankrupting his country like he did with all his businesses, including a casino. Notoriously difficult to bankrupt.

It's all going to be used as an excuse to invade us. Oh look at Canada they made your lives more expensive. It's Canada's fault and once the people believe it, they'll have their support and invade us.

[-] shawn1122@lemm.ee 13 points 19 hours ago

It would be an uphill battle. Yes Americans are overall less educated because they don't invest in education and let their media spread lies unchecked but invading Canada is a big leap (for now).

Speech from Trudeau gave me "we're at war" vibes.

It's incredible at which speed things are falling apart.

[-] NotLemming@lemm.ee 15 points 19 hours ago

They're only falling apart because trump took a wrecking ball to them.

[-] redlemace@lemmy.world 4 points 14 hours ago

I get why the USA doesn't see Melania anywhere ...... If I'd say half the things he said, my wife would not show herself to anyone either. If i'd say all of it she'd be gone far far far away long before i finished babbling

[-] Goodmorningsunshine@lemmy.world 5 points 13 hours ago* (last edited 13 hours ago)

As if she has shame. She's the "I really don't care, do u?" first lady. All she has is a boatload of disgust for the physically detestable husband she's saddled with and no reason to appear beside him. If he were young and handsome, she'd be sucking him off in public.

[-] engene@lemmy.ca 26 points 21 hours ago

How!? How is this guy allowed to be President!? 🤬 This is every time I see him speak and says anything!

[-] BlameTheAntifa@lemmy.world 7 points 17 hours ago

He’s Constitutionally ineligible, but the US no longer has a Constitution, so…

[-] PM_Your_Nudes_Please@lemmy.world 149 points 1 day ago

All Trudeau needs to do is implement a reciprocal tariff that also increases by like amount. Boom, now you have an infinite tariff loop and a single transaction in either direction is enough to create infinite GDP.

Checkmate, economists.

Come on now, calling Trump the dumbest man on Earth is doing a great disservice to JD Vance who has put in an enormous amount of effort this last year to pip him at the post.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 3 points 14 hours ago

He is factually not the dumbest man on earth. We can criticize without discrediting ourselves with unnecessary hyperbole

[-] djsoren19 5 points 14 hours ago

Wow, I didn't know you took your title so seriously, Dumbest Man on Earth.

[-] imvii@lemmy.ca 5 points 14 hours ago

Oh sorry. Who is the dumbest man on earth? I will send my apologies.

[-] jagged_circle@feddit.nl 1 points 8 hours ago

Probaby someone in a vegetative state
