This. I'm not sure why anyone would consider the US for their tourism dollars. I saw on Twitter that California has started a campaign to get Canadian tourism dollars. That's fine and good, but ICE can still get you in California. No one in the free world should support the US tourism industry.

This is what he did with Canada and Mexico on a larger scale. Threaten tariffs and within a day pause them. He can rinse and repeat this act over and over again. Hopefully the world realizes dealing with Trump is like dealing with a toddler trying to get candy and looks for alternatives to their market.

This is exactly what he did with Canada and Mexico. Threatens big tariffs says he won't back down. . . . then backs down. But only temporarily. So we'll be back at this again in a few months. It creates chaos and uncertainty. We can see that even though most Canadian exports are still tariff free, Canadians don't trust the US. The damage is done. This will repeat itself all over the world. Also the fight with China is rough. We often don't realize how much stuff we get from China. 100+% tariffs are going to sting.

I'm starting to think it's solely to raise revenue. Shift the tax base away from income tax to tariffs. It's a regressive tax only poors have to pay anyway. Don't like it? buy USA!! Simple narrative. Fixing trade deficits can't be the ultimate goal. How do you fix a trade deficit with an third-world country that sells you clothing and electronics? The US only really has agriculture to offer. Agriculture built on potash imports from Canada BTW. That's probably why he's not pushing the Canada thing so much lately.

Because the accusations may be false. You go to the US and they don't like your political speech and accuse you of a crime. Without due process you can't prove yourself innocent. This is one reason why I really don't want to visit the US as a tourist anymore. If they can't check my phone and send me to El Salvador without any due process? Thanks, but no thanks. You're no better than China.

Then you should have no problem with the Administration complying with a court order regarding releasing the names of those deported. And you should believe that all people deserve due process. Not just citizens. Because if you don't have due process, how can you prove you're a citizen when they come for you?

Reverse Nazi-ism. That's a new one. So whom are the true Americans? Is it a case of legality or race?

I did Nazi that coming from you. 🫤

This idea that only citizens are able to receive due process is quite fascist actually. What if I go to the US as a visitor? Can they send me to El Salvador without any due process? And again. The Trump admin is refusing to release the names of the people that were deported. The only reason we know of the ones that we do is because of pictures. Here's another one. https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025/apr/01/its-a-tradition-outrage-in-venezuela-as-us-deports-makeup-artist-for-religious-tattoos

Wrong thread.

You're a ghoul for calling the deportation of someone to a torture chamber making ommlets. Perhaps allowing the illegal export of millions of guns to Latin America allowed crime to proliferate causing a mass exodus of people fleeing violence.

That's a moronic take. Randomly rounding up people from Lain America is justified because others did something bad. What if it was you? Or someone you loved? Oh because you're a white man, it could never happen to you. Trump's trying to create a fascist state where due process is denied to people he doesn't like.

Conservatives have also found this quite insulting. He's doing well apparently. This is one of those elections where I won't be upset if either party wins. The LPC have move a fair bit to the centre.

Ever hear the phrase: And it could be more. The Justice Department is refusing to release the names of people they sent to this prison.

Even if it was, it was deeply insulting and threatening. Friends don't talk like that. Someone, probably Carney, must have finally gotten through to Trump that Canadians are the US's biggest customer and we're steering clear of everything American. AND Canadian energy is not something America can simply do without. Also, what did Trump gain from this? Nothing. Canada hasn't conceded anything yet. All this turmoil only to largely stick to the 2018 deal. He may still destroy the American auto industry, so there's that.
