Trump says he's ending 'all discussions on trade with Canada' effective immediately
-
U.S. President Donald Trump said Friday he's terminating all trade discussions with Canada effective immediately.
"We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven day period," Trump said in a social media post.
He says he's pulling back from the bilateral trade discussions because Canada plans to move ahead with its digital services tax (DST), which requires web giants pay a special tax.
Set to take effect on June 30, the DST requires U.S. companies like Amazon, Google, Meta, Uber and Airbnb pay a three per cent levy on revenue from Canadian users — a policy enacted by former prime minister Justin Trudeau's government that the Parliamentary Budget Office projects will bring in billions of dollars in revenue.
I'm in favour of gradual weakening of the US leading to its ultimate dismantling. The sub-300 year experiment has clearly failed, so there's zero reason for the US to exist in its current form.

He’s just trying to get our CDN back to an equal level with USD

Yeah I kind of believe that NA would work better as a bunch of smaller countries in an agreement similar to the EU. I say that as a Canadian who’s politics aren’t as much a dumpster fire too

That means nothing. He will taco. Then Canada will get even more pushed away from our once great partnership.
Remember how Trump fucked up the election in Canada for the conservatives? They literally had it in the bag. But Taco showed up with his tiny mushroom dick.

I mean, he did make Mexico pay for the wall that he built. Right guys? He did, didn’t he? Fox News said that he did, and they wouldn’t lie, right?!?
Nah. Fox News is (usually) more subtle than that. They simply stop talking about fails. And that's all it takes. Just stop talking about the fail and talk about something else. Why bother lying when you can STFU and get the same or better results?

Lol Donald announced that he's shutting up? Canada wins
And U.S. consumers lose because, if there's still anyone unclear on this, we pay the goddamn tariff and not a single person in Canada.

How dare they charge *checks notes* the same thing Visa and Mastercard charge everyone in our entire country for everything.
At least they are not charging American Express numbers. (really blowing out your closest trading partner over 3% on netflix is nuts)

Canada should back out of the USMCA and stop respecting US IP
US already contravened it, thanks to Trump, CUSMA is pretty much meaningless now. That being said, Canada wont contravene our side, but we’ll humour the US in their bullshit just as we make better deals with reliable countries, leaving the US behind.

After all this time he still has no idea how tariffs work.
Doesn’t matter, it’s what his sycophants believe. If Trump does it/says it - it becomes the truth to them. It’s the result of a decade or more of brainwashing on tens of millions of trump fans by Fox News etc

"We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying to do business with the United States of America within the next seven-day period,"
...proceeds to bomb Canada tomorrow.
Maybe, but then he’ll learn why there’s Geneva conventions.

Canada geese are my favorite bird. I see them by the lake all the time. They are perfectly well-behaved, until you deliberately try to piss them off.
Right? They have a terrible rep but they’re pretty fair in my experience. The only time I’ve angered one was when I stepped too close to take a picture of her babies and she did this grass filled mouth hiss at me like a cat. Which to be fair, is fair

"We will let Canada know the Tariff that they will be paying..."
How has he still not learned that it is Americans and American businesses that pay the tariffs.
Oh he knows. He's just compelled to lie by whatever that jelly is in his head that is a brain in normal people.

Aw, even though Carney tried so hard to pass bill c-2 for daddy Trump? I wonder what their new excuse for the bullshit "border" bill will be.

It would be highly amusing for Canada to start making Star Wars films without Disney's approval, along with a little "Come get me fuckers".
With the Trailer Park Boys as the main characters. Bubbles as Han Solo.

Well there is counter tarrifs on some US goods we'd hypothetically pay... if we were still buying US products, that is.

I feel like that’s probably our nuclear option and we’re holding out for now since it’s likely Trump chickens out again
Agree with @regedit Canada should cash in a few bonds, and when president felon freaks out, do a few more. Explain to the orange child that he needs to shut up about Canada, drop the tariffs and observe the trade agreements.
America deserves all the backlash the world is piling on it right now.
Republicans are vile scum, treat them with the disrespect they have earned. -
