Summary
Donald Trump launched a trade war against Canada by imposing a 25% tariff on nearly all Canadian goods, including a 10% levy on energy products.
His action, intended to pressure Canada to curb fentanyl flows, contradicts official trade figures and ignores that most deficits result from American demand for cheaper Canadian oil.
The tariffs, set to remain until Canada complies, could cost billions to Canada’s economy and disrupt $800 billion in annual trade.
Canada is expected to retaliate, forcing Prime Minister Trudeau to respond amid escalating cross-border tensions.
As a dual citizen, fuck this guy.
I’m also a dual citizen, and as soon as people find that out, all they want to talk about is “your president”, as if I voted for the motherfucker. I’ve lived in Canada for 16 years and will never go back to that shithole, and everybody wants me to take responsibility for what D-bag does. I didn’t vote for him, I don’t live in the US, and all they want to do is yell at me every time he does something idiotic (which is of course every single day). Needless to say I stopped telling people where I’m from. I’ve gotten really good at the Canadian accent, I sound like I was born & raised on the Prairies. Nobody could pick me out… except for the fact that I don’t have a German surname and I’m not Mennonite
