  3. Wow. Canada didn't even need the nuclear trade option - it appears trump might do it himself.

    this means, if he's true to his word, no energy, no potash, no steal, no aluminium, no car parts, no toilet paper, and no more anything from Canada

    And yes, this would hit Canada hard as well.

    so incoming eventual TACO?

  4. The C$4.7B is the largest investment in #ViaRail history. For the 1st time in 40 yrs Via’s 313 new passenger cars will be built entirely on #Canada 's soil. Roughly 700 #jobs across Ontario & Quebec. Ottawa figures north of C$1.6B in economic spinoff.

    Here is the part that matters, the part that made America’s Rapist-in-Chief snap like a child with Dementia.

    Those cars used to be built in the USA.

    Not anymore.

  10. (VIDEO). Once again, my fellow Canucks, Trump is a symptom or a deeply corrupt country. Republicans are against us, too; 77 millions Americans voted for Trump and support his #tradewar on #Canada.

    "Republicans are publicly supporting U.S. President Donald Trump's trade war with Canada, even though polls show most Americans are against it."

    There is no enemy like a friend betrayed. That is the feeling in Canada right now toward the USA and especially Donald Trump.

    Pollara poll of August 27 2026 reported by @CanadianPolling

    “Feelings towards Donald Trump”
    Angry/Frustrated: 82%
    Excited/Comfortable: 7%

  13. “The federal government will spend $4.7-billion to build and maintain more than 300 Via Rail passenger rail cars in Canada, using facilities in Quebec and Thunder Bay, Prime Minster Mark Carney announced Thursday.

    “At a news conference in the northwestern Ontario city, Mr. Carney said the move represents a shift away from importing trains from south of the border.

    “For too long, we bought from abroad what we were more than capable of building right here at home. We’re bringing that work back, and we’re turbocharging it,” Mr. Carney said in prepared remarks.

    In July, the Prime Minister announced $1.6-billion for the production of 45 new locomotives for VIA Rail as well as a new assembly and maintenance facility in Montreal.

    The new trains announced Thursday will serve Via Rail’s long-distance and remote routes.”

  24. And to punctuate this a little bit, this essay by Ezra Klein is SUPER interesting. youtube.com/watch?v=livIbni7x7o #tarrifs #tradewar

  25. On a personal note, the moment that Trump was elected the first time, my spider sense started tingling (to put it mildly), and my lifetime of overlooking the long history of questionable foreign policy ended. I used to love certain places in the US... San Francisco, New York, Moab, Colorado... but now, I, like many Canadians, feel gravely disappointed that the US could have elected a man like this, AND let him get away with the deception and criminality so obvious now.

Anyway, here's a gift link for a story that seems to objectively detail how the Canada and US trade talks broke down: nytimes.com/2026/08/25/world/c #tarrifs #tradewar

  26. "Every day $1bn worth of goods crosses the river dividing Detroit, Michigan, and Windsor, Ontario, two largely blue-collar US and Canadian cities that have come to act as one in the creation of North America’s auto industry.

    News this week of Donald Trump’s escalating trade spat with Canada has everyone worried. Political and economic leaders and observers labeled the move an act of “hubris” , blamed Trump’s “ego”, and called the escalation “insanity”.

    “We don’t need Canada, they need us,” Trump declared.

    But many are hoping that Trump’s imposition of 50% tariffs on Canadian goods this week will not last long, with the upcoming midterm elections as a pivotal reason the plan may be scrapped.

    Control of the US Congress hangs in the balance and will almost certainly be decided by several close Michigan races. It also comes just two months after polling highlighted Michiganders’ fatigue with and opposition to the president’s unprecedented tariff program.

    By a 63%-31% margin, residents here oppose tariffs on Canadian goods, according to a June Epic-MRA poll, including 35% of Republicans. Meanwhile, nearly 75% of Michiganders said the tariffs are fueling high prices.

    Trump doubling down on an unpopular policy deep into election season is viewed by many observers as a gift to Democrats, and there is a real possibility that it contributes to a midterm loss for the Republicans. Meanwhile, there seems to be little upside for Trump.

    “I don’t understand what Trump is thinking,” the Epic-MRA pollster Bernie Porn said."

  29. Up here in #Canada, we're not a bunch of #assholes that won't keep our word. It's not like we'd do something as #stupid and #repugnant and self-destructive and immoral and unethical like demanding someone sign a deal with us, then immediately turn around and violate the terms of that deal, or #abrogate the deal entirely. What kind of #demented #goldfish-brained cognitively-impaired #drooling #moron would do that?

    So if we've agreed to sell the US things, we're not going to just cut them off in violation of existing #treaties and #deals and #contracts. We're not like that.

    But we don't want to be #boring, either. So we'll mix it up for anything destined for a Washington D.C. address. Every third package will contain a #surprise - angry wasp nest, unredacted box of #Trumpstein files, a loaded bear-trap, landmine, something along those lines.

    If it turns out to be popular, we can expand the program to cover all the #MAGA states. It'll be fun!

  30. RE: social.lol/@macmanx/1171533463

    To my non-Canadian friends, this is a really worthwhile interview to get a broad understanding of the current situation, with enough specific examples that the lies being told by the Trump regime become easily spotted.

    Good for Canadians too, of course, as we arm ourselves with facts that MAGA tries to hide.

  31. Why Trump’s New Tariff Obsession is a Dangerous Gamble

    The Tariff Trap: Why Trump’s Economic Obsession Risks a "Catastrophic" Reckoning by Winston Wendell Watching the latest news about Donald Trump and his planned wave of new tariffs, I can't help but feel like we've seen this before—and not in a good way. Trump likes to talk up these tariffs, spinning them as a way to force other countries to play by our rules and to shield the American economy. But truthfully, the reality looks a lot harsher. What we're seeing is a strategy built for […]

  33. Paul Krugman and Joey Politano dissect the lasting impact of Trump-era tariffs, revealing significant increases from 1% to 20-30% on crucial imports like pharmaceuticals and electronics. They warn of unintended consequences, such as higher consumer prices and hardships for agricultural exporters. With a lack of clear strategy, uncertainties persist, echoing historical trade crises.
