Canada Imposes Retaliatory Tariffs on U.S. Goods
🔴 Live now: The escalating trade war between Canada and the United States took on a new face today as Ottawa introduces retaliatory tariff measures on roughly $28-billion of U.S. goods. The duties, which cover hundreds of items, went into effect today. 🔗 www.theglobeandmail.com/canada/artic...
AdkRaine10Elbows up, Canada. I’m on your side.
Henriksen 🇨🇦5We are united as a country and stand in solidarity with our Canadian government
Halfpint DJT IS MY NELLIE OLSEN!4Canadians r willing to take a temporary hit to help end this shitshow! We stand with Mark for as long as it takes. I mean, what else can we do? Bend over? Nope. Elbows Up, eh!
chichi604I know that 3/4 of America is on your side the other 1/4 are fucking insane
Mmr4242-R3Our president treats Russia and North Korea far better than our Canadian brothers and sisters. I am beyond disgusted. I wouldn’t have thought it possible to do so much destruction in less than 2 years. 😪
Angus McTavish 𝔸𝕄 🇨🇦🏴🇺🇦🦫🍁2Canada and Canadians won’t be pushed around anymore. We are Standing Tall 🇨🇦
NEW: Canadian Prime Minister’s approval rating soars… as Canadians pledge to fight it out against Trump tariffs Just filed… with reaction from Toronto youtu.be/2BZVIR-94UQ?...
Crab Claw6Heck, Carney could probably win the U.S. presidency if the Constitution would allow it. But heck, the Constitution means nothing to the GOP anyway. So maybe the Democrats should just go for it and nominate Carney.
Judy Peterson3The connecting thread is that there is precious little difference between being abusive to Canadians and other allies and being abusive to women and minor children. Abusive behavior can never be justified! Being physically and/or emotionally abusive is a crime.
T-Fish🇨🇦🍁2He’s at 70% and trump is lucky to be at 30%. Well, if nothing else, that does add up to 100%, so there’s that. 😏
Thurston Nuggs IV1I honestly don't know how Poilievre steels himself to leave the house in the morning.
Trump Admin. is warning Canada to not retaliate against U.S. tariffs. What is Canada to do bend over and say, " Sir, may I have some more." Of course Canada will retaliate against unlawful tariffs. The ball is in America's court and if they want the end to escalating costs treat Canada as a friend.
ArleneE8ELBOWS UP 🇨🇦 AND GLOVES OFF 🇨🇦!
Occams adVisors6Trump will never shut the fuck up until we make him.
Random Dude 65Time to ratchet this puppy up #StickInTheNuts
Tiffany-GreenEyes4As a U.S. citizen (who had never and would never vote for Trump or any of the PEDO-Protecting Republicans) , I apologize on behalf of the U.S. again. These illegal tariffs are killing us too. I hope and pray enough people are burned by the GOP crime syndicate and VOTE DEMOCRAT in the midterms.
not Burt Reynolds4Sorry, we're not in the mood for a US raping, now or ever. Go fuck yourself USians.
Cyndeebee3I’m not currently in the mood to rekindle a “friendship“ with the United States. It’s been a colossal mess over there, and it’s not just Trump. It’s overrun with Fascist sympathizers. It’s going to take years to weed them all out.
Canada’s hefty new counter-tariffs on U.S. goods have gone into effect, pushing the ongoing trade war into uncharted territory. So, what happens next? Here’s the state of the tariff fight, according to our reporters👇
Emily7The US needs SO MUCH stuff from Canada we can't get elsewhere. Crucial stuff like oil, gas, potash, lumber, minerals. HALF of all the food grown in the US needs Canadian potash to grow. Trump is such a moron. He brought a rusty butter knife to a gunfight.
atiraslight.bsky.social7All I know is that we will all be paying higher prices because of Trump.
Sathir.R7America, come November, vote your conscience. Before it's too late 🇺🇲
GOP's the problem5Canadian consumers will abhor American products long, long after MAGA stink is steam-hosed out of politics
Viktor 🇵🇸🍉🦘🦘🪃4Nothing..Canada will and has been divesting from trading with the US and will open more international trading markets. Trump will loose.
dpbsmith.bsky.social4Hardly "uncharted." Trump did tit-for-tat tariffs with China just last year. Went up quickly to 150%, both sides backed down, went down--to maybe was it like 10%?
1. Hilarious he needs "a source within the administration" to work out basic percentages of publicly available numbers. 2. No one in Canada thinks targeted retaliatory tariffs will destroy the US economy. 3. Trade policy is politics first, economics 7th, and for Trump the politics of this sucks.
Savantfoxt19Also, the retaliatory tariffs are a political gesture. What will hurt and is hurting the US economy much more is Canadian citizens and business boycotting US travel, goods and services of their own free will.
Mike Jones11I’d like to see Canadians and Democrats push harder on the line that Trump’s trade war will make both American and Canadian consumers and workers poorer, but will make Chinese companies and the CCP richer.
anakhari.bsky.social8Kilmeade sneers without realizing that the countervailing tariffs target specific industries out of specific states, that rely on exports to Canada. Testes are a small part of your body, but they still hurt like hell when someone kicks them.
Cuppa Joe7If Canada would announce a 100% export tax on petroleum oil flowing by pipeline into US, the next day diesel at the pump would be $9/gallon. It would make a hell of an October Surprise. Rescind it the day after the election.
blueginger99.bsky.social7And yet massive hypocrite Brian Kilmeade was all for destroying USAID which was less than one percent of our budget, because it was too much money to pay to have a healthy U.S. When we let disease in other countries run rampant, it comes here.
MePu7Just comparing the tariff amounts to the respective GDP's is shortsighted, simplistic and dumb. The nature of what goods are being tariffed is much more important. But of course, Fox treats it like a pissing contest, just like the orange one does.
Trump’s trade war with Canada is sandbagging Republican candidates in northern border states. They’re getting just what they deserve.
sdk3.bsky.social3The craziest part is that the MAGA-led Congress could stop the tariffs tomorrow if they wanted to. But they are actively choosing not to. Voters should respond accordingly.
StevieVanWailin2Imagine voting for Susan Collins and tariff-inflation. 🤡
💐Flower 🌈 Power 🛖2Susan Collins made her choices and the people are going to present her with her grades in November.
atombomb05.bsky.social1Oh ... Is she concerned?
GadgetGav🇭🇺🇺🇦🇨🇦1Collins needs to go for so much more than tariffs, but I guess there’s a straw that breaks every camel’s back
HRPac1Amen to this. Susan can be concerned at home. We need fighters.
Canada struck back at Donald Trump on Tuesday with tariffs on about $20 billion worth of US goods, in response to the latest round of tariffs on Canada because, well…duh. apnews.com/article/cana...
🇨🇦👠OhHellNoCanada👠🇨🇦6We don't take lightly to rapist regime leaders attacking our country and our people. We hit back, and we hit back hard. Buckle up, it's about to get rough
Bonnie Schwertner2I’ve seen active sites for “Buy Canada,” and they’re filling in the gaps for products Trump has murdered.
NeilMtL, mean and nasty Canadian 🇨🇦🦾2"Canada's escalating trade war," my aurse, APNews. This "trade war" was started by the United States because the Trump administration decided to ignore a trade agreement it had signed. There's a growing attitude among US media that Canada's to blame for fighting back, and we're fed up with it.
🇨🇦 ELBOWS UP! Trump slapped Canada with 50% tariffs. Today, Canada HIT BACK…dollar for dollar. 🔥 $20 BILLION in U.S. goods now face Canadian tariffs. Trump wanted a trade war with his closest ally. Canada just sent him the bill. 🇨🇦💪 #ElbowsUp #CanadaStrong #USDemocracy #RisingBlue
on canada tariffs day, a reminder of the historically bonkers fact that canada imposing responsive tariffs on imports from the us has plurality support, 43-40, *in the us*
geoffrey12even as a member of the 43% every time i think about this my brain reflexively goes "what do you MEAN"
Buckleup361I suspect American support for Canada's responsive tariffs is actually much higher.
DawnieFish1This is inaccurate. I am a liberal living in the ruby reddest of towns, and they are not even supporting Trump. All you guys are falling victim to divisive media, and it's a shame. We are all cheering on Canada. It's about time somebody stood up to this fucking bully. Stop playing into the division.
My POV: This extended assault on Canada and our economy was never about tariffs or trade. It has always been about subjugating us one way or another. Trump's not that different than Putin. He'll keep escalating, turning the proverbial screws, because he thinks he can do this without firing a shot.
Bill Comeau 🇨🇦41I believe this is exactly the discussions taking place in our halls of power. Whenever Trump hinted a deal was close, he pulled the rug out and moved the goal posts. This is not by accident, it is by design.
jason500550.bsky.social9I don't disagree with this, but I do take some comfort in the fact that all of the people in power to implement such a plan are spectacularly incompetent. And our leadership is anything but.
Claudine 🇨🇦8He wants us kneeling at his throne and kissing his feet. Well not on our watch. Elbows up 🤬🇨🇦
Kim3I have to agree as an American, Trump is acting as if he is the King of the western hemisphere and it is disgusting and embarrassing.
Brok Windsor 🇨🇦2Trump wants us to be a vassal state that serves only to supply the American empire oil, potash and rare earth minerals.
Malcolm Boyce 🍁2The same as it was never about making US cities 'safe' from crime, or about Haitians eating pets. It's always about manufacturing a narrative, to justify whatever insanity pops into their heads. Trump does believe tariffs are something they aren't, but the 51st state memes aren't a joke.
Did you know... Currently, softwood lumber from Canada, is harder to get in America, and twice as costly, due to Trump tariffs, than from Trump's buddy Putin. So, your using Russian and European softwood lumber. Bet Trump's pocket is getting greased. So I asked, Why the US wants Canadian wood.
@ruadhmairi.bsky.social 🖇️🐸3Wood and Lardass are not acquainted yet. 🙄
Zee207702🇨🇦🍁🍃🎃🐈⬛2Wait until they need aluminum, potash, critical minerals…
Fac Americae Abire1But Trump doesn’t have the need to know.
MantaHunk 🌎🏳️🌈☮️🟧8Worse. He's opening all of the US national forests to clear cutting.
𝐃𝐨𝐮𝐠𝐢𝐞𝐆 🇨🇦 🇺🇦🌻🦋2Tomorrow, I'll blurb Canadian Oil and Natural Gas, that Trump and his diaper changers say the US doesn't need. And you will all see why THAT, is a complete falicy. Going to do one a day. Till tariffs gone. Everyone needs to understand how we are tied together, at the hip, for almost everything.
🤣 Oh well #ElbowsUp #GlovesOff #Canada 💪🏻🍁🇨🇦 Trump bans Canadian products from U.S. government contracts. Live updates here. www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps...
Unapologetic Lee 🇨🇦20We just got access to a 450 billion person market. Fuck Trump. #CanadaEU
Aptly Asked 🇨🇦 🇬🇧 🍁10That's going to kill F-35 construction for everyone. Canadian companies (not just divisions of US companies) provide essential components. If they break licensing/patent protections, US pharmaceuticals lose their protection in Canada and go generic (already threatened during Trump's first term).
Darren8Only because he can’t personally profit.
Scamp5Oh really! Is he going to ban all the oil, gas and minerals they actually need to function? Like all our potash they need for their fertilizers? Or minerals like indium, tellurium, cobalt and nickel for electronics and solar panels?
KeechieP 🇨🇦4At the same time he's removing tariffs he put on a few weeks ago from some things Americans need from us..like rock salt for their roads and toilet paper! Time to put our oil, gas, electricity, minerals, potash, etc into play.
🇨🇦 Proud Canadian Atheist 🇨🇦4Time to cancel the F35's and go for the Gripen!!! Enough with more studies leading to decision!!!
