U.S. to ban some Canadian imports, escalating North America trade war
This trade war is getting out of hand. Instead of just raising tariffs, now we’re banning Canadian imports like motorcycles and alcohol all together. No one wins in these scenarios. Canada is going to go seek other trading partners and we’re all just going to pay more for everything
Ron Johnson38What bothers me the most is that most Americans are too stupid to understand how this is hurting them. One of the many gross failures of education in this country is the teaching of civics and basic economics.
Unapologetic Lee 🇨🇦24We have already signed 20 trade and defense agreements with other countries. On September 16 the formal announcement of a Canada EU Alliance will be confirmed. I hope Americans understand how important it will be to vote. If he's not stopped, the US will lose all of their alliances.
Caralee Ayora 🇨🇦23Well you can start by not calling it a trade war. He has no intention of “trading” with us and every intention of seeking our economic collapse
rubeebyrd.bsky.social10Facist isolationism It's a goal they're working on. Being the public isn't interested in protecting itself from this be prepared in a few yrs traveling outside the US won't be allowed. It's the price ppl are willing to pay for their complacency
Observation Group X8This is not a trade war; that is the pretext. We are facing full-frontal, multidomain economic warfare—against the global financial order itself, with collapse as the objective.
andycap333.bsky.social6Meh. We’ll just get new customers. Oh… we have. Don’t worry about us. Be terrified for yourselves. 🇨🇦
This remarkable. It is the Canadian technocrat/economist trade war version of Churchill’s “We shall fight them on the beaches” address to Parliament. youtu.be/eYAwioM3RQI?...
Makes me nostalgic for real national leadership.
Opheodrys7Carney is incredibly popular here in Canada, & Canadians have confidence in his judgment, integrity, & intelligence. The right person at the right time. All of his Forward Guidance chats are informative &, for many Canadians, including myself, comforting. We are afraid of the US--& with good reason.
Eclectic Sky Writer5I don’t think there’s a single American politician who can match this level of speaking. Perhaps Mayor Pete.
Jerseyboyingeorgia4Lucky Canada. We have people in this country just like Carney, intelligent, competent and successful, but they don't run for office because they don't want to get dragged through the mud and slime of American politics. Who in their right mind would? For now we can look up north and think ""what if".
amongthedogs.bsky.social4Never been to Niagara Falls. Will head there in October and stay on the Canadian side. And spend as much money as I can afford.
Theresa Hassell Jones4I am struck with longing for an intelligent compassionate leader. It is surreal that we would elect anything less
I just saw a comment on TikTok that said: I think Canada broke Trump🤣, he’s been spiraling like crazy since we walked away from any trade deal. 🤣🤣 Nahhh, he’s just a fucking nutter! He mistook us for a mouse, rather than a rabid beaver 🦫 We bite back.
Emmogene 🇨🇦 🇺🇸11Abusers always ramp up their attacks when they think they are losing. He has suffered a narcissistic injury from our refusal, coupled with jealousy of Carney. He knows that a majority of Canadians support the PM, while his own numbers are tanking.
collburns.bsky.social5You are on a roll!! 😂🤣
fundy67.bsky.social2I'm trying figure out who's nuttier, trump or those who stand by watching him but still bend over backwards to kiss his arse while praising him as the greatest president ever. It's like his supporters watch him walk by in the buff but no one has the courage to say the emperor has no clothes on.
Afterimage 🇨🇦1Yea 🍊💩🤡 holds all the cards, but he’s not playing with a full deck. He only has the 2 of spade. « Québec expression, s t’un deux de pique! »
Greer has admitted that he and trump were trying to restrict Canada from trade deals with the EU, India and others. They want Canada as a subject vassal in their "fortress NA". Hey Doug Ford, they don't want us as a partner. Now this US approach is what's unhinged #CanadaSky #cdnpoli #USA
collburns.bsky.social9Because WE are NOT Amerikkka!
The Highwayman5But I thought “the 🇺🇸 needed nothing from 🇨🇦”? Yet it seems like they were fighting pretty hard to prevent 🇨🇦 from selling to anyone else?? Could it be Trump & 🇺🇸 are a bunch of lying fucking crooks? Maybe if they weren’t dicks we could have worked together! #FuckTrump #BoycottUSA
The Constitution gives the President ZERO authority to ban imports or impose tariffs. Zero. It also gives Congress zero authority to pass that power, which belongs solely to Congress under Article I, Section 8, to the President. www.cbc.ca/news/politic...
Joe Robertson2Article I, Section 8, provides Congress with sole authority to imposes tariffs or to regulate commerce with foreign nations. Neither Congress nor the Supreme Court are granted lawful authority to recognize any of these actions as Executive powers. faithful-citizen.org/2026/07/08/r...
Fac Americae Abire1Canada should help Trump to cripple US economy by reinforcing Trump policies with Canadian surcharges on exports to US of potash, electricity, steel, aluminum, copper, oil, gas.
