    From the USA. Hoping Canada stays strong and resists this unflushable turd

      Yeah, as much as I hate it I think the best outcome comes from us suffering

        I am so glad our government (Canada) hasn’t immediately rolled over.

        Say what you want about Trudeau, his speech tonight was pretty good and presented a strong response. Kudos to the speech-writers.

        I’ll live on local food (and cheap rice, beans from non-US sources) as much as possible for as long as it takes. Looking forward to seeking out “Made in Canada” labels while shopping in the months to come.

          Maybe this’ll finally be the event that causes Canada to drop those ridiculous internal tarrifs and trade barriers.

            Sounded like they were at least alleviating them from Trudeau’s statement

    Calling on everyone else in the West and the global economy: keep your eyes open for opportunities to support the Canadian and Mexican people.

    They are standing up to this corruption and fighting it where it stands. This is going to hit them hardest first, and they deserve our support.

      Canada should join the EU. They have universal healthcare and partially speak French, they belong with the civilised world.

      Thank you for your support. If you live outside the US/Canada, please urge your local politicians to open negotiations for expanded trade with Canada and Mexico to reduce all of our reliance on the USA until this horrible administration is gone.

      I can see an eu/Canada/Mexico/China enhanced trade deal on the horizon.

    So the article mentions tarrifs by Mexico, and provides a link to them - but they just go to a tweet from the Mexican President that say nothing about tarrifs.

    What action are they taking?

      Canada is putting a 100% tarrif on red State liquor, among other things. Which is hilarious and I love it

    Stay strong. Cut off the power grid. Make it hurt. The American people need to feel something to make them understand what’s happening.

      Does Canada have any ability to limit power from hydro sources to the US, if we provide such?

      We need to go hard against a bully, make it more painful than they expect, in order to force re-negotiations.

      I hope Canada and Mexico work together to annex the US and create Canaxico. It’d take a while to mesh the cultures but I think we could make it work

        The cultures are English, French, and Spanish. They all have cultures built on the genocide of indigenous, of ravaging the land for profit, and of slavery for profit. I think their cultures will mesh just fine.

    They should set their sights on doing business with china. At least Mexico, I’m not expecting much from neolib hellhole Canada.
