‘Nothing’ Canada can do to prevent tariffs, says Trump

www.ctvnews.ca ‘Nothing’ Canada can do to prevent tariffs, says Trump

U.S. President Donald Trump said there is 'nothing' Canada can do to prevent the punishing tariffs expected to be unleashed tomorrow.

Speaking earlier on Friday in response to Trump’s Thursday assertion that he was ready to hit Canada with tariffs tomorrow, Trudeau said Canada “won’t relent until tariffs are removed,” but conceded the country could be in for hard times.

Obviously, fentanyl is an excuse.

They're closing the borders because of their trade deficits. They think it will stimulate production within the US.
Finally, lower egg prices!
I know of ONE thing that could be done..
- Well, not in Canada. Or at least not to prevent the tariffs.
  
  You know the old saying: dead billionaires impose no tariffs 🤷
So "Nothing Canada can do to prevent taroffs" is the same as saying "I'm doing this for absolutely no reason".
- cruelty is the point
MAGA: We'll tax ourselves when we buy Canadian goods until Canada begs for mercy!
No shit he wants to anex canada. He's a fucking fascist and musk is taking over the government. Jfc i hate this.
- Does he not realize if Canada becomes a state a republican could never hold the presidency again? Right wing canadians are further left than american Democrats.
  
  They still love voting against their best interests though, so maybe they would join in. Also who's to say canada would get to vote.
- As a Canadian I fail to see how this will ever make me want to join the US.
  
  Canada will outlive Trump.
  
  Can you take the coastal states? Particularly the west coast? We're tired of being part of America.
  
  As a Canadian I can't see how annexing Canada will make America better? Also, lotssa luck with the guerilla warfare when your opposition is the same colour and speaks the same language.
  
  Let's join the EU
  
  I will never join the US
- It's the worst timeline alright.
I already bought 5,000 gallons of maple syrup to get me through the year
- That's 91 years worth of food assuming 2000 calories a day.
  
  assuming 2000 calories a day.
  
  That's the recommended intake for an adult woman of average weight and activity level. Burly lumberjacks from Québec named Gordon need MUCH more than that.
  
  Sorry, So, you’re not Canadian, then eh?
  
  Ok. How much would it cost per day?
- I'm on my last litre, but it's not too long before sugar season starts up again.
Hey, Canada. Trump has the puck.
- 😈
