Our entire national identity is premised on the idea that we are not Americans and we don't want to be. The foundation of Canada as a united, independent nation was directly in response to the last time American leaders mused about annexing Canada after the US Civil War.I spoke with several Canadians over the weekend, they are furiuos at us, and rightfully so, Trump claims the tariffs are for them to fix the fentanyl crisis, to put that into perspective, US border agents seized 49 lbs of Fentanyl at the US/Canadian border, that amount doesnt even register on the chart of drugs coming into and out of this country.
Many do not blame democrats here, they know who the problem is, Trump and his Maga cult, thus, their retaliation will be against red states, but many said that we as a country let Trump get reelected and we are all to blame, which they are right, the biggest take away from my conversations was they will never become part of the United States as i explained, many Americans are as confused by Trumps sudden interests in Canada, Greenland and Panama, no one cares about expansion here, except him and his regime, but they will fight and based off what i have seen none Maga economist say, Canada is in a much stronger position and can cripple our economy, China has announced they will cut agriculture imports to 18%, cost US farmers $418 Billion in soy bean sales, Mexico is also hitting back with tariffs on food, all this is to be blunt is a way for his rich friends to gain more wealth, average americans are the ones that will suffer, not him and his rich supporters, he failed the last time he tried tariffs, plunged us into a recession and massive inflation, this will be far worse.
I agree, i really dont understand where this is coming from, Canada has always been a great friend and ally, my finacee is from Canada, i dont know anyone that has ill will towards Canada or Mexico, and his reasoning makes less sense, I support Canada and am just as stunned by this really odd behavior by Trump, he and his regime have already lost the trade war, Canada can hurt this country far worse than we can hurt Canada yet i ask why are we doing this, it has to be money, trump and his cronies only care about making themselves rich and tariffs will do that, it will hurt the average person, but i had to listen today my boss who is a Maga says Trump knows what he is doing and tariffs are a great way to secure our border, i was stunned to hear how stupid that sounded. I hope Canada turns the power off and stops oil exports, screw Trump and his fascist regimeOur entire national identity is premised on the idea that we are not Americans and we don't want to be.

Trump also needs to remember that the last time you guys tried to invade us, we did this:

Trump and MAGA lackeys are threatening us with comments like "FAFO" in response to our retaliatory tariffs, but they should be just as worried about that.
There are op-eds in newspapers here suggesting that we retaliate with a 100%-400% percentage tariff on Teslas (which are made in the US) if Trump keeps this going.Good, hope there is more than can do
We deserve that. Thanks, Trump.![]()
