Canada announces retaliation tariffs for US

[Morphine Prince 109,654]

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Saturday said that Canadian duties on $30 billion in trade in American alcohol and fruit will take effect Tuesday, when the U.S. tariffs go into effect. He opened his address to Canadians with a message aimed at American consumers.

“It will have real consequences for you, the American people,” he said, saying it would result in higher prices on groceries and other goods.

Trudeau channeled the views of many Canadians who were feeling betrayed by their neighbor and longtime ally, reminding Americans that Canadian troops fought alongside them in Afghanistan and helped them respond to myriad crises from wildfires in California to Hurricane Katrina.

“The actions taken today by the White House split us apart instead of bringing us together,” Trudeau said, warning in French that it could bring about “dark times” for many people. He encouraged Canadians to “choose Canadian products and services rather than American ones.”

Wheee...I hope the cheeto loses some sleep over this. Although knowing his vile ways he will probably attempt to do something nastier...and hope he chokes on it.

Canada and the US had one of the strongest and friendliest alliances for generations but Trump ruined it in weeks.

This is a punishment because apparently Canada lets in a lot of illegals and fentanyl into the US. The truth is that this is a much bigger issue on the Mexican border - NOT CANADA.

There is something a lot more sinister at play here I fear. Trump literally said he wants to apply economic pressure to Canada to annex us because he wants our resources, fresh water, oil, and arctic land. Canada is not for sale and no Canadian wants to be part of the US! Trump is literally giving Hitler pre-WWII vibes. Very scary and the international community needs to stand up to the US.

This is so scary. He really does want to take over Canada. I just hope our allies will rally behind us.

If he declares war on us I would hope the other countries have our back.

Maybe some sanctions if it went as far as an invasion and probably nothing if it remains just a trade war

 

Countries whatch their backs first and the US is big (and unstable under Trump to add to that). They are gonna wanna avoid involvement

So petty. Canada needs to get over it! What's a tariff between friends?
