Trump pauses tariffs on Canada for at least 30 days, Trudeau says

[salacious_coaster@infosec.pub]

Entertainment for his cultists. They like seeing troops on the border. More importantly, they're tearing down the global economy on purpose so they can remake it as they please. If Trump gets his demands met, he knows he can go farther next time. If not, things collapse and his accelerationist billionaire buddies are happy.

Nicely done, Canada.

[ubergeek@lemmy.today]

Once again.... Trump bent the knee.

[apfelwoischoppen@lemmy.world]

Gonna be agonizing to live through 4+ years of this bullshit. We need to run them scared out of here.

Hell, I want to boycott US goods and I'm an American living in America!

[the_swagmaster@lemmy.zip]

Sort of, I’d say he winced. He still got a stronger boarder which was something he was wanting (cause Canada is the problem /s) but obviously the trade deficit didn’t change.

We’ll truly know if he is blinking if he follows through on the tariffs in a month. I just hope Canada (and others) wake up and realise they can’t depend on the US anymore. They should diversify themselves as much as possible as quickly as possible

Dont let your dreams be dreams.

After the announcement of tariffs, world markets saw Canada and China’s markets drop a couple points and the US’s surged a couple of points.

If you knew that market shift was coming and had a few billion in international markets and sold while the US surged, you made a shitload of money (at least, “shitload of money” from my perspective, because I’m a poorsie).

Now now now… look, you can hate Trudeau all you like, but that’s no excuse to make him have sex with that undead corpse in funeral dress.

[plaidbaron@lemmy.world]

I remember a time when this would be considered a conspiracy theory.

Ah, those were simpler days.

[nova_ad_vitum@lemmy.ca]

All that noise lol.

First tariffs on "day 1" , then Feb 1, then Feb 4, now Mar 1. I wonder how much more credibility he even has left on this.

I’ve been trying to de-billionaire my life lately. The strategy at the moment for spending money is:

Buy nothing, if possible.
Then buy used, if I have to spend money.
If I can’t buy used, then buy local.
If I can’t buy local, then buy Canadian or Mexican.

[empricorn@feddit.nl]

I wanted a hamburger. Instead I ordered chicken Tikka Masala. I think that's about all that's in my power to do at this point...

[rentlar@lemmy.ca]

Buying Canadian just got 25% easier!

[satansmaggotycumfart@lemmy.world]

Think about it though next time Trump wants to impose tariffs Trudeau can release the Melania tapes.

[nightwatch_admin@feddit.nl]

I was going to ask whether that would be a good idea, then I recalled your username… yeah that checks out.

[satansmaggotycumfart@lemmy.world]

I can't wait until Trudeau makes an innocent joke and Trump bans him from his communities like a true dictator.

[orteilgenou@lemmy.world]

I get it now, 10000 Mexican troops on the US border with Mexico, 1000 times more fentanyl seized along the Southern border, so that means ten Canadians deployed along the Northern border. Easy!

[notsteve_@lemmy.ca]

Myself and a lot of other Canadians have already started avoiding American goods, even before these tarrifs were set to go into place

[blakenong@lemmings.world]

Trump is on both knees taking it up the ass, while sucking the cocks of billionaires as they rob us blind of our government information and money.

Sorry for that ugly visual.
