He really does think the EU is a country. I'm not sure my opinion of Americans will ever recover from them having voted in this absolute moron.

What the fuck do tariffs do other than make shit more expensive for US residents?

"Don't make me hit you harder."

Abusive relationships are the only kind Trump knows how to have.

With friends like these…

Like seriously, you can’t make this stuff up, folks! The schoolyard bully who beats you up after class and continues to insist that he’s your best friend! Not only that, he tells all the teachers that actually he’s the victim and you’re the bully!

How many of you out there knew someone like that? Made you count down the days until you were outta there for good so you’d never have to see his face again! I wish we (Canadians) could get the hell out of this toxic high school we’ve suddenly found ourselves in…

"Im beating you because i love you, besides you made me do it."

He is showing us what he is afraid of. Canada is risking 30% gdp in a trade war but how much of this 30% can be gained back with increased trade? For example selling aluminum to European.

Friends don't let friends support fascism.

Canada and the EU should definitely bait trump into escalating tariffs as quickly as possible, and reach agreements to increase trade between themselves.

If trump continues to escalate and retaliate, Mexico and even China need to be included in the agreement.

This will have huge consequences for America, effectively excluding it from worldwide trade, while diluting the impact for the remaining nations.

America has a huge production capacity though, and that's why escalation needs to happen quickly, not giving it time to ramp up subsidized domestic production.

While I can't fault your feelings, a lot of us are unable to do much without going homeless/hungry. Too many of us are living paycheck to paycheck, as by design, to do anything without losing what little they already have.

There are protests everywhere, the media is just downplaying/intentionally not reporting on them.

But we are very, very sorry. Many of us have been actively fighting against this fascist bullshit for years, since 2016/17. People like myself have alienated family and friends who support this fascist regime.

There's always more someone like me can do, but the tradeoffs are getting worse and worse. It's easier for me to just leave the country at this point and go to a country that aligns with my views and the way people should be treated.

I don't like this rhetoric. Mainly the last part where folks not demonstrating means we have bunk values. From my perspective we are an anti social bunch who generally suck at organizing. I don't have an easy way to just join up in a mass protest and I barely know where to start. I am depressed and anxious. I am trying to do what I can. Want me to just not work?? Me and who??? How will I eat?? I'd love to demonstrate.

True but honestly we kind of deserve it.

Border states, snowbird states, and dual citizens are going through it. This is likely the worst diplomatic move in recent American history.

Sucks for us Canadians, too.

I wouldn’t mind some tit for tat. Carney could respond with Felon, Rapist, Laughingstock and they’d cut deep because they’re true.

Northeast South Canada, checking in here! My people moved into this land just a few generations ago. The motherland calls...

As it has to be. What Trump does next and what happens in Europe will play a big role in the details.

Our era of close ties with Russia has been over for a damn hot minute. Trump thinks he's friends with Putin, but Putin just wants to cripple the US.

MEXI-CAN trade agreement?

There is a reason: because Putin wants it.
