Trump wants to replace income tax with tariffs, I do see Trump being an ass who pushes for more so the tariffs do not go through. I really hope Canada does not bend to Trump much longer.

I called it earlier.
They're just dangling tariffs as a sword of damacles to hurt Canadian companies without increasing prices.
We need to treat this the same as tariffs.
I wonder if Canadian factories/mills/mines are seeing panic buying by their American customers.
Iβve panic bought computer hardware.
If things get worse I want as little dependency on US clouds as possible.
Unfortunately thatβs not something we make here.
At this point we need to diversify our trading partners. Trump's gonna do whatever he's gonna do. We've gotta do what's best for us.
At this point we need to diversify our trading partners.
That's the funny thing. Canada is doing this.
Trump talks out of his asshole, makes threats, Canada says "k", and looks to do business elsewhere. The US is still going to buy our aluminum and oil, but our imports from the US will drop as we find other partners.
That my friends is the art of the deal.
When you can't trust your partner, you don't sit around hoping they get better. You find a new partner.
The boycotting, booing and hatred will continue until Trump's departure. Even if they say sorry. Even after the next president. And the next.
Personally I am finished with their cultural exports. I want nothing from them. I can't even listen to music sung by an American without feeling like it doesn't belong here anymore. It's not the story or song if anyone I have any kinship to, so why give it any of my time?
All we've learned is that we should absolutely go for the throat the second they are vulnerable because we're just a prey item to them, and fuck being toyed with.
He's going to create a crisis and have demands, threaten the tariffs until Canada makes some form of deal, postpone it, and come back with a new crisis, rinse and repeat.
It feels like the media have already lost interest in the story. There isn't nearly as much coverage as the last two times.
Making the news and people unable to keep up is part of the strategy.
