The US/Canada Trade War

The trade war wasn’t against Canada or Mexico or the world … it was directly against the American people and according to the belligerent, the American government is winning.
according to the belligerent, the American government is winning.
And according to objective reality, the American government is being destroyed by a traitorous enemy agent and an unelected kleptocrat.
Canadian here, sure feels like its against us, especially given the border threats.
We literally have articles coming out from mainstream outlets talking about guerilla warfare. People here are starting to get rabid.
I don’t think your dimwitted leaders understand how much the average Canadian resents being forced to deal with america (for decades), the resentment is turning into hatred.
You are correct. The “leaders” don’t. The majority of Americans are also disillusioned into hating people not responsible at all for the struggles they have to face. The soverignty of nations should be respected, but that hasn’t, historically, been the American way either.
So much for, “Trade wars are good, and easy to win.”
Also he showed us is that his goal is to fuck up US and the West.
It doesn’t even look like incompetence, but pure malice.
From what I understand, it’s that when he looks at various agreements he doesn’t understand how to work with countries to mutually improve.
It has been said a few times now that he only sees agreements as having a winner and a loser. In his eyes, a win-win means one side could have done better.
Zero sum game. A life philosophy for assholes.
This is it. And even after lying, cheating, and stealing his way through life he still managed to bankrupt seven businesses including a casino. If he had put his inheritance in a market index fund he’d be fabulously wealthy. Instead he’s been pretending to be a billionaire for 40 years.
The funny thing is, after all that, he finally is a billionaire for real because of truth social of all things.
If they’re so easy to win, that means the other guy can do it too
As a Canadian - I don’t want to fight the US indefinitely. Our countries are much better off together than apart and everyone with any economic training knows it. I really like a lot of Americans, and they like me. I have had multiple Americans apologize and insult the Trump administration in the strongest language possible. I absolutely know this trade war and abuse from Trump et al. is not what my friends even remotely want.
But your government right now is intolerable. So I’m very much in support of this wave of Canadian national indignation and FAFO but I hope it doesn’t last for long. As long as it takes, but the quicker our two countries return to cooperation the better for citizens of both nations. Even if everyone wanted to, decades of steadfast alliance cannot be undone cleanly and would likely leave our two nations weaker for it.
Id argue we need to pull away from US economic dependence. Doesnt have to be all or nothing, but coupling your economy to another this deeply is risky by default.
We need to diversify as much as we can. I know it isnt easy or simple, but in the long run it might be best.
So anyways, as an American, I think the United States of Canada has a nice ring to it…eh? (Did I do that right?)
It would have been better to end with, “Sorry, I hope I did that right?”
which new provinces would you be willing to accept?
Which ever one was willing to get rid of all the handguns.
Yeah, we don’t want them (American states) either.
God. It’s like a humiliation fetish on a national scale. The Annoying Orange and the World’s Most Terminally Divorced Man just can’t help themselves - or stick to anything for more than ten minutes.
Though I suppose, given their goals, we should be grateful for that weakness? I don’t know, I’m on the edge of learning to make moonshine to make the pain go away

Has DOGE gutted the ATF yet? (Of course not, that bureau oppresses the public instead of serving it. That budget is sacred and shall not be touched except to expand it.)
Maybe Melania is making Trump cuck himself in front the man she really wants?
Can you imagine being the first president whose wife gives birth to another man’s baby while in office?
Musk can only have IVF kids because of a botched penis enlargement. Melanie is 54, so even with IVF there’s a super slim chance at best. Without IVF it ain’t happening.
I think he’s referring to Justin Trudeau. Baron looks like Trudeau.
While I’d certainly believe someone other than Trump as biological father I’m not seeing the Trudeau resemblance personally.
All white people look the same.
barron looks more like trump than trudeau.
I’ll leave this here. Plenty of others is anyone wants to have a search.
It’s not that they can’t stick to anything… The issue is that they come up with shit ideas that they implement immediately without any planning. Then when the idea turns out to be shit publicly they have to walk it back at least partially because it isn’t doing what they wanted. They don’t care about how it looks, but the ideas are so terrible that they aren’t even accomplishing what they intend.
Honestly, I’m at the point where, while I think there is a great deal of malice and certainly some horrific long-term plans, I genuinely believe that these people are idiots at this point. I think many of their actions lack any intention beyond the immediate and impulsive emotional reactions of a thin-skinned narcissist.
We are not just being ruled by evil shitheads, we’re being ruled by evil shitwits.
They’re six years old playing their first run of Civilization and think winning means destroying everything else and taking everything you can, but you don’t know what all the menus mean yet so you just start clicking random stuff to see what happens.

Wait why is my trade income decreasing?
The US folded? Can someone send me an article about it because DDG isn’t providing
This maybe?
Canada’s initial retaliatory tariffs against the U.S. will remain in place despite President Donald Trump postponing 25% tariffs on many imports from Canada for a month, two senior Canadian government officials said.
What is DDG?
duckduckgo I assume
Duckduckgo, a search engine
DDG’s search is really bad in my experience (not as bad as SearXNG, however). Try Mullvad Leta or Brave Search.
DDG is by default Bing. Add !g to the end of a search string and it will redirect to google.
Brave is run by a bigoted piece of shit funded by peter theil, a different piece of shit.
Mullvad leta is a proxy service that isn’t a search engine exactly but rather a proxy for google or brave search.
Never understood the point of adding !g to DDG searches cause it literally redirects you to Google. What’s the freaking point of that? Might as well bypass the redirect and just directly search Google.
You use ddg for 99% of your searches, which maximizes privacy while still getting you the results you need. For the 1% where the results are piss poor, you add !g and deal with evil to get the right answer.
Yeah but it’s quicker to just select Google from the dropdown after typing in your search in Firefox’s address bar. I can only see this function being useful for people who navigate directly to the search engine’s website to search.
Why would i type the search query out, then click and drag then click again instead of just typing 3 more characters?
It easier to type " !g" in either case.
