In his news conference today, Trudeau said Canada will hold firm and push ahead with retaliatory tariffs and other measures until Trump backs off entirely.

I am happy to hear that we are still going forward with our measures regardless of what Trump does until what Trump does is fuck off.

It’s gonna be lifelong for me, even if Trunp himself is gone, the deranged ideology remains. There will eventually be a successor. All the more reason for Canada to decouple, disengage and diversify away from the US, cause at any time a new one could come in and maybe they aren’t as dumb as Trump.

Ironic that we’ll likely have tariffs on the US for longer than they’ll have them on us.

I can’t believe I’ve been baited into supporting tariffs but I agree with the current course of action. No flip flopping, no accepting ‘pauses’.

Yep because their word (or signature on international trade agreements) is meaningless.

The uncertainty from going back and forth is maddening.

Each delay has only come after the tariffs have already started. ‘until he backs off entirely’ is a reasonable ask

Reminds me of the handshake
