Come on Canada, put a tax on services by 50%. I bet Netflix, Google, Amazon and Apple will have talk with Trump.

We had that ready to be implemented. Then the current government killed it.

Slimy baker behaves predictively



Carney will say “elbows up” then offer the USA concessions.

Gee doesn’t that sound familiar. Perhaps he and people like Chuck Schumer are part of the same club.

I’m sure their palms are greased by the same people





Time to cut off hydro, oil and potash.

Hit us where it really hurts.

Cut off maple syrup.

They’ll just corn syrup that shit.


To do that properly, we’ll also need Maine, Vermont, and a chunk of New York. Maybe a new border at the 43rd or 42nd parallel. Boston might be okay with it.

I doubt the locals would fight you




I believe US gets most of its aluminum from Canada

Yes, from Quebec. They have a huge surplus of hydro electric.



Well, those are tariffs. It’s the US already cutting them all by themselves.



The 50 per cent rate is being imposed in response to what a senior administration official described as Canada’s retaliation against U.S. trade policy and its discrimination against U.S. motor vehicles, dairy and alcohol.

Funny, because just about two days ago he said it was a response to smoke. It’s almost like he’s a demented old man who can only remember he’s angry but not what about.


“If you don’t clean up this mess I caused, I’ll hit my kids every time you try and help them!”

I suppose the tariffs will cause some decrease in Canadian exports to the US, resulting in some economic suffering, but as we find other markets, the US tariffs will become increasingly irrelevant to everyone but Americans.


yes bring back the digital tax

Was so disappointed when Carney backed down on that tax. Goes to show that there’s nothing to be gained by playing nice.



If this doesn’t bring American booze back to Canadian stores, I don’t know what will.

Fuck that! That shit can rot.

Hey Coors is yours

Don’t blame us for that swill.





“Trump raises taxes on Americans yet again.”


S L A M M E D

What, did Carney not sufficiently grovel at the WC final?


Thank God, the air will soon be breathable in new York then obviously


Comments from other communities


We don’t give a shit anymore, America. We’re just going to diversify our economy away from that evil ass country like we should have done decades ago.

Good, please do

Thank you Mr Trump for also helping us diversify away from oil.




Can we make these headlines a little more accurate? Like, “Trump to hit American consumers with 50% tariff on goods from Canada”?


Sure, because that worked out so well last time.


Back to figuring what else I haven’t boycotted again I guess.


This wacky dumbfuck rapist and his wacky tariffs
