Premierminister Carney sagt, Kanada sei bereit zu reagieren, falls Trumps neue Zölle in Kraft treten

“We don’t need to respond in advance,” he said. “In fact, I think it would be counterproductive at this stage to respond in advance.”
“We’ve seen a series of trade negations that the U.S. has undertaken, and normally there’s a deadline,” he said. “Normally there’s an outsized tariff associated with that deadline.”

So glad this dude is leading us. Doesn’t stoop or play games, just calls it like it is and moves on.

Oh, like he responded thus far?

The word “if” is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.

I didn’t know Carney would be foolish enough to retaliate substantively against the US when no other country (except China) also retaliated. If you are the US you need to make an example out of Canada or else in the future when you try to coerce your other allies they will take their chances and fight back.

Canada is far more reliant on the US than other western countries. Canada can retaliate but strategically should not have been the first to pull the trigger (even Spain which if much less reliant on the US and has a radical left wing government (by US standards) detested by Trump kept their opposition only on rhetorics and refusing military flyovers, not resorting to counter-tariffs). Canada being the only western country to retaliate economically means that it cannot coordinate with the EU (far better positioned to withstand US retaliations) and became centre of Trump’s ire.

Raise royalties in Potash , Oil, and all mined minerals within Canada and see how that plays out.

Just don’t follow Justin Trudeau’s stupid plan of putting tariffs on US goods which makes shit more expensive for Canadians. It was basically „haha Trumps tariffs are paid by Americans but we’re elbows up so our tariffs aren’t paid by Canadians“.

The way the Yank consumer is being socked carrying all the weight of Trump’s beefs with the world is quite something. I’ll tell you this. Any Canadian auto factory that the Yanks close down will be jumped on by the Chinese, with the blessings of Carney and most of the Canadians. And that will be interesting, when Canadian border cities start to fill up with affordable, comfortable Chinese EV’s that those viewing from Yankland are forbidden by Maga to purchase.

Go for it!

Carney is a boss i love him! 🇨🇦

I hope he uses a better AI for the response than the one he used for the bridge speech

Respond to what exactly? Have y’all seen what the US is actually targeting? It’s less than 2% of our total economy. Hockey sticks, for real? The competition to Canada is China.

The whole thing is political smoke, and mirrors. Showmanship from a washed up TV celebrity and nothing more. Let MAGA eat it up. The bee does not waste time explaining to the fly that honey tastes better than shit.

Please make life difficult before the midterms.

And we’re sorry.
