A Two-state solution.

I'm sure he has a reliable metric to determine how many drugs are entering the country. Other than against China, he actually hasn't implemented any Tariffs. I would like to see Canada and Europe strengthen their alliance. Maybe even have Canada in the EU. The minute gas prices skyrocket, Americans won't have the appetite for this.

Inorder to enrich himself. All the while worsening a humanitarian crisis. As you said, this is another example of flooding the zone. There's no real scenario where he can effectively evict 2 million people without going Nazi. It gets people worked up and distracted from other things. Same with the 51st State crap, there's no real way he could annex Canada without a military operation. It's just a smoke screen. It all speaks to the truth that Trump is a very unserious person.

It's the US POTUS that's proposing the annex the territory and own it. Just let them free in Jordan or Egypt. That won't cause a humanitarian crisis or anything. They'll just be absorbed by Hamas or Hezbolah.

So who's going to accept them? Can they pay the $5 mil to get a Gold Card? Should they go to some sort of camp?

FLOOD the ZONE! It's what Jesus would have wanted.

Just so we're clear, you support to forcible removal almost 2 million people from their home to turn it into the Mayan Riviera?

At least the new Gaza would be tolerant of Trans Rights 🫢

Trump just got the Tate brothers sprung from Romanian prison. What the Everloving Eff? https://www.cbc.ca/news/world/romania-tate-brothers-detention-1.7469829 You know a good sign you're a shit person? You like Andrew and Tristian Tate.

I can criticize plenty more comments if you'd like. Where did this 4% approval figure come from? How does he expect a country that's in the middle of a war to hold free and fair elections? He knows that his buddy Putin arrests his political opponents right?

The Russian assets are on overdrive today. I wonder why. The fact that 45/47 said, in his own words, that Ukraine is to blame for this war is evidence for the entire world to see that he's a compromised Russian asset. God help us all.

What does satisfaction even look like? The trade deficit might even widen now that Canadians are looking to avoid buying American goods. There aren't many KPI's to determine that Canada has eliminated the Fentanyl epidemic. It seems like all Trump wants is the attention.

It's a predictable outcome. Trump and his admin were specifically vague about what "fixing the border" meant. They gave no metrics and I'm sure Trump didn't even know what Canada was proposing until yesterday. It's like when a Union is negotiating a contract. There's no point in settling early. You can always get the most out of your opponent if you wait until the last minute. This does show that the US may not be a reliable trading partner for the forceable future. If I was an exporting business in Canada, I would be looking to expand the markets I can sell into.

Nothing's certain yet, but all the pundits seem certain that Dofo will call a snap election next week for February 28th. Using the threat of Trump tariffs is the impetus is pretty smart. In the Toronto area, they have been buying attack ads against the Liberal leader Bonnie Crombie for months now. I would be shocked if he loses. But in 1990 the Liberal leader tried a snap election and that got Ontario an NDP government for the first time ever.

And again it's not a serious proposal. He makes up Trade deficit figures and implies that exporters will pay for tariffs. I'm almost certain they won't levy tariffs on Oil. That could result in an almost immediate increase in gas prices which is the one kitchen table issue people care about most. I guess that's why Danielle Smith is going rogue, she wants the oil supply line to continue. As for manufactured goods, that's the big issue. Canada has an natural advantage for manufacturing due to the cheaper cost for labour, due to universal healthcare and the lower dollar. I don't see how he does this without increasing the price of goods in the US. And not only that, US firms doing business in Canada will immediately become uncompetitive with the counter tariffs. I do like how Dofo has leveraged this "crisis" to try and get a third mandate. Prudent polytiking.

It wouldn't have been mentioned at all if a reporter didn't open his stupid yap. Now the media is acting like it's fact and JT has to respond today. Perhaps this is all for the best, it'll force Canada to diversify its export market.

It was an off the cuff remark. If he was serious he would have said it in his speech. He had all this immigration stuff locked and loaded for day 1 but not the tariffs. When was the last time he mentioned Canada as a 51st state? I could be proven wrong, but the idea of an External Revenue Service is idiocy. It's not the importers that pay tariffs. Has someone not explained that to him?

Cooler heads have likely prevailed. https://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/trump-tariffs-canada-first-day-1.7435957 Tariffs on Canada would increase the price of energy for most Americans. He seems to think imposing Tariffs would be like an external revenue agency where he can tax other countries. That's not how tariffs work.

The irony is lost on Trumpers that this whole election was about lowering the cost of living but staggering tariffs will do the opposite. Trump says there's nothing Canada makes that the US needs. Well if that's the case why do they buy from us? Because it's cheaper or better? How are US companies not screaming at Trump to not do this?Imagine an American company importing products from Mexico to export to Canada. Would that not be double tariffed? One thing I haven't heard in a few days is about Canada becoming the 51st State. I think the focus groups Trump listens to have reported back to him how silly it makes him look to keep saying that.

I don't think so many do. Just the blowhards you see online.

It's just winning back the uncertainty created when this whole drama started in December. But yeah, a change in government is required to win back confidence in Canada.

Then the only way that happens is with a hostile military take-over. This time against a peaceful ally. If it wasn't my own country I'd find this entertaining AF. He has said 51st state, not a territory. Though this only makes sense with 10 new states. I don't think Trump realizes that Canada is a federation, Is he just going annex Quebec and do away with all their French laws?

Capitulate how? Let itself be annexed? I still haven't heard a workable way to annex Canada that doesn't make US a permanently left-wing nation.

Sure, but this only proves to make life more expensive for Americans. This is a bait and switch on the US electorate. Do you think these tariffs are going to drop the price of Big 3 car?
