Summary

Canada is preparing to retaliate against Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, which could trigger the largest trade war between the nations in decades.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised counter-tariffs worth $37 billion, with potential for further measures, depending on Trump’s final order.

Canadian officials warn the tariffs could harm both economies, disrupting key sectors like automotive, energy, and agriculture.

Labor leaders expressed concerns over job losses and urged collaboration. Canada hopes to avoid tariffs by highlighting their mutual economic impact to U.S. lawmakers.

    I’d like them to focus on taking all the Americans who can contribute to the economy. I volunteer for tribute.

        We don’t want their guns, the litigiousness, the exceptionalism and the arrogance, but other than that, we actually love Americans.

          Tell me about it. Buddy of mine married an American, a texan, she’s fairly liberal as far as they go…

          She just had a baby and was granted 18 months maternity leave, didn’t pay a dime, had an in home nurse due to complications. All for free.

          We just talked about how she would prefer to have to pay her employer for health insurance rather than “Lose so much to these crazy taxes.”

          If a liberal minded, young person thinks like this, how many of them think like this? Stay to the south. Please.

      I’m currently up in Canada for an extended stay, it’s honestly so much nicer than back home. I’m gonna be sad to leave. I too gladly volunteer as tribute.

      Edit: also everyone here has been so incredibly welcoming
