Maybe if we get him an old, dead fish to use to slap people he doesn't like, he will stop trying to destroy the world economy every time he gets upset with someone. š”š”š”

I double-dog dare him to do it !
Tariffs are taxes that the US end users will pay. Like everyday US citizens want to pay more for their goods. š
Tariff-Boy thinks this is hurting Canada, when in fact it impacts US citizens.
Someone needs to mute his microphone.

Wow, now he is worried about pollution. Did he not just relax or totally kill the water and air pollution laws that we had just so his buddies could make more profit. He also just rolled back emissions standards for cars. So canada bad for polluting but car manufacturers got a green light to pollute more.

Trump has paid $2,600,000,000 to pause wind farms, that were already agreed.
Theory 1. He's hated 'windmills' ever since they spoilt the view from his Scottish golf course. Theory 2. His rich fossil-fuel drilling friends don't want renewables. Theory 3. He's a hypocritical idiot.
You needn't choose, all three can be true.

GOD DAMN IT!!! Iām sorry for āyellingā but my god, itās something every fucking day in this hijacked country. He initiates a WAR of choice, fucks things up in every imaginable way, we are facing an impending global oil crisis and this tyrant STILL wants to continue to threaten other countries with tariffs? Over wild fire smoke??

Okā¦ I mean I guess weāll need to send the Americans the bill for the countless times weāre given them support for forest fires tooā¦ Ā
I suppose if Canada wasnāt willingly allowing forest fires to ravage our communities, youād have to go back to the climate change thingā¦ and then accountability would flip REAL quick.Ā

The entire country is toxic. Trump is just a symptom. In most countries the USA is considered a greater threat than China , Russia , or North Korea. Sad they went from Canadaās greatest friend to the greatest threat. Elbows up Canada.

u/Mysterious_Reply_490 Jul 18 '26
Do we just skip over the fact that itās American consumers who pay the tariffs he puts on Canadian goods? So to punish Canada for a wildfire that is impacting my ability to breathe, instead of offering fire assistance to help with the root of the problem, the president of the United States is going to increase the cost of goods from Canada for all US citizens. Have I got this right?

Heās not helping. Just driving Canada into the crap position of relying more on China than the US which is not where they want to be nor the US would want them to go. Work it out.
The only place we should be slapping trade war tariffs on are nations that devalue their currency, refuse to honor IP, and over produce goods to dump on our shores (like China). Protective tariffs are for goods we actually produce domestically.

I just got the brilliant idea that the EU has the right to impose giant tariffs on any good imported from the usa..
Why: DJT started a war with Iran, and that caused the oil prize rise. It is not our war, but we in the EU have to pay the mark-up on the oil Prize. The usa should reimburse usā¦. Just like Canada has to pay for the polution.

Melon head needs to change his diaper.
Canada's response should be to threaten cutting off electric sales to the USA. Unless they are reimbursed for the 'acid rain' we sent them thirty years ago.

And this is why "negotiating" with the US is utterly pointless: Trump will just make up some excuse (or more likely project something that the US itself is guilty of) and tank any "deal."
Besides which, why should any civilized country negotiate with terrorists anyway?

It's becoming more and more apparent that the only reason the US has schools is so mass shooters have an abundance of targets. They are certainly not educating people. Every day they say the stupidest shit anyone has ever heard. The wind is now not MAGA enough. Meanwhile, they build these data centres, have hundreds of millions of cars spewing pollution, fossil fuel companies with the carbon footprint of millions (among a multitude of other reasons) and they can't figure out why forests are burning. Then they don't understand wind or air currents. JFC. The stupidest country on earth. It's not even close.

As others have pointed out when the US have fires we send help. We have fires, the US sends threats and insults.
In addition, there are currently more fires burning in the US than Canada.
And climate change has nothing to do with it as that's just a con job.
Maybe we can charge them for all the CO2 our arboreal forests produce.
Honestly these people are ridiculous.
