'We will not hesitate': Canada prepares to hit U.S. with billions in tariffs - eviltoast

Summary

Canada is preparing to retaliate against Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, which could trigger the largest trade war between the nations in decades.

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised counter-tariffs worth $37 billion, with potential for further measures, depending on Trump’s final order.

Canadian officials warn the tariffs could harm both economies, disrupting key sectors like automotive, energy, and agriculture.

Labor leaders expressed concerns over job losses and urged collaboration. Canada hopes to avoid tariffs by highlighting their mutual economic impact to U.S. lawmakers.

    I think you’re taking it too lightly.

    you should read up on the fall of the Soviet Union and what life was like after.

    • waiting in lines for hours for the possibility of buying a pound of beef
    • not having access to consumables like toilet paper for months
    • medication becoming nonexistent
    • cheap government subsidized vodka
    • further corruption of local administration and public police

    really, go read up on it. I’m sure it’ll blow your mind.
