Canada will keep in place its retaliatory tariffs against US-made products as long as President Donald Trump persists with a trade war, said Mark Carney, the Canadian prime minister-designate.
Good luck – E. Jean Carroll just kept getting excuses to re-sue him, which was hilarious, since he just could. not. resist. defaming her when legally ordered not to. :). The man seems absolutely compelled to double-down on his disrespect if he is pressured to act like a decent person. He just can’t resist trying to “assert dominance” or something.
Carney should formally demand Krasnov “say Thank You” for our water, oil, wood, steel, potash and aluminum, before we drop tariffs. Heh.
EDIT: Vance, too. He should have to say Thank You, on the air, on Fox ‘News’, before we drop tariffs.
That’s the point. This will hopefully eventually pressure Congress to do their job.
this congress? the majority is drunk on the maga juice, the minority is a disorganized mess still in shock. and combined, the vast majority is bought and paid for by those who stand to gain the most from this shitshow.
So Putin is paying.
I fear people think this will be a short term thing but in reality if we want to protect our sovereignty it has to be more permanent. We need to evolve other markets.
Have they even said thankyou for Trailer Park Boys once?
Or Letterkenny?
Oh man, I very recently finished Letterkenny. Still having withdrawals. Dwannawhat!
I’m on season 11, and then I’ll start on Shoresy, the spin-off!
I started with Shoresy and had to check out Letterkenny after that. At least Shoresy seems to be continuing. 🥰
And can they please dress appropriately?
It seems selling Tariffs to his constituency as something that only affects other countries was his biggest grift after all.
Ah, who am I kidding. It’s all grift. A gigantic hairball of grift.
I wish I knew enough about Canadian politics to have a deeper opinion, but afaics: Good
Oh and as a Eu citizen I feel very good about Canada maybe hopefully joining some sort of alliance with us. I didn’t have it on my radar before 2025.
Canada has always seemed more European than not politically, so I hope we join the EU eventually
As a Canadian, we’ve had the attitude for awhile “at least we’re not as bad as the USA” but we’ve definitely drifted from the EU way of doing things. I’ve always felt like a hybrid between the two (with leanings more to eu).
I wish as Canadians, instead of looking over the fence and patting ourselves on the back for not being the USA, we’d look over the fence and try to see what we can do to improve more (because why reinvent the wheel if you don’t have to).
I was so annoyed in 2012 when we were protesting the tuition fee hike in Québec that people were pointing to other provinces or the US for their higher tuition fees, instead of, like, North European countries, and many others, where it’s free.
You know Canada is a NATO founding member, don’t you?
Also we have a free trade agreement with Canada.
You know Canada is a NATO founding member, don’t you?
You know, you’re right. The alliance is already there.
But the USA is also in it… could NATO even defend Europe against Russia, against the US’ will?
They can’t even take one country, let alone “Europe”. Would it be better with the US in our corner? For sure. But to think the current Russia could take anything except for small parts here and there is laughable. And this only because mother Russia doesn’t give a shit about her children.
I think you misunderstand. This:
could NATO even defend Europe against Russia, against the US’ will?
was a question about how NATO internals work, decision making and bureaucracy, not raw firepower.
As I understand it, each country decided. But I’m not a NATO scholar. I’d be happy for someone more knowledgeable to chime in.
Canadians showing Trump you can put tariffs without shooting yourself in the foot.
Be careful, he might learn the trick. Or can he learn?
Can Donald “when I look at myself in the first grade and I look at myself now, I’m basically the same” Trump learn? You tell me.

Since he subcontracts all his thinking and none of his talking out of both sides of his mouth, I would assume someone somewhere must hire some at least half-competent analytics guy before it all becomes distorted through their cronyist chain of command.
Donald Trump is incapable of respecting anything.
This is what the Orange Turd deserves. Act like a shit get treated like shit.
Tit4Tat will result in the USA always getting hurt worse than everyone else
Tit for tat is also the most effective strategy in game theory though.
Not saying this necessarily applies to this case or in general, but I just found out about this topic and I’m curious to see if and how well/poorly it applies.
I just found out about this topic
The algorithm must be on a tear, I was just suggested that yesterday.
Good they deserve it and have done since 1791.
Such a whiny brat about a needless tarrif war yam tits started himself. This orange turd has no clue how much Canadians hold grudges. This won’t ever be over. Canada is moving on.
So: at least 4 years, probably longer :/
The Democrats don’t tend to immediately back out of whatever direction the previous Republicans set the country in. maybe it has something to do with not being wasteful or respecting democracy or I don’t know . I’d imagine this New foreign policy will last for 20 years.
There’s a general governing philosophy that presidents tend to maintain agreements, policies, etc. agreed to by previous administrations. You want an international policy that is reasonably stable otherwise it makes it difficult for foreign nations to deal with the US.
Then we elected chucklefuck…
yea that’s exactly what im saying
I’m just reinforcing that it’s generally a “good thing” and done for a reason rather. Partisans tend to think it’s a bad thing, but it’s not.
Good to see Carney is holding the line. But will he keep/bulid off of the energy Trudeau used?
The energy of “no business case” for alternatives export markets like Germany or Japan? Given he worked in the ESG department of Brookfield I’d garner that he will continue that legacy.
Who needs a funded social safety net, we can simply borrow billions more, and further fuel home prices to artificially grow GDP by eating the poor.

Better Dwelling was founded in 2017 as a real estate news service that used artificial intelligence to assist with its data journalism. It was co-founded by Stephen Punwasi.
That paragraph alone tells me to be skeptical of them.
Okay I mean they are simply citing what someone else openly said in the video they linked. You can come to some opinion yourself I assume; as to whether we want foreigners to rent our own housing stock back to us, due to a mass immigration scheme that pushed prices out of reach?
Why? Machine learning has been around a lot longer than the current AI bubble, and housing market analysis seems like a reasonable use for it.
Good shit. Go Canada!
If Project 2025 is to be believed then the goal is to remove tariffs on the US, including things like dairy, telcos, and banking. Which it will be interesting what that looks like if it does happen, I do wonder if things like cheese and cellular would be made more affordable via economies of scale.
american cheese is really gross though (the low quality stuff, which is lower than we have in canada)
tbh though high quality american cheese is better than anything we have
I buy local cheese from a man known in town as the cheese man. Way better than any American or big brand Canadian cheese. It’s not that much more expensive either. Find your town’s cheese man!
So for at least another 4 years?
