Exactly right. It's Cdn citizens that chose to boycott US products en masse. They even pressured grocery stores to label which products were Cdn vs US so people could avoid buying the latter as much as possible. Beer/wine imports are now ⬇️ 96% & spirits ⬇️ 84% not to mention $Bs lost in tourism.

Unfair? Cdns are simply & rightfully reacting to Trump/GOP's illegal tariffs & ongoing threats of annexation. If US businesses are suffering due to his/their policies then they should apply massive pressure to GOP/Senators to change them because Canada's not going to back down from their boycotts.

The Trump regime are fooling themselves. China has the upperhand in this battle as most consumer goods, computer chips, mechanical parts, etc, are manufactured there not to mention China can easily replace many US imports with other suppliers like they did with soybeans.

Correction bud... Canada's been the victim here: of illegal tariffs imposed on them & enduring ongoing threats to their sovereignty which they're never going to take lying down. If your business is suffering due to Trump's policies you should be applying massive pressure to GOP Reps & Senators.

Trump's been pulling that strong-arming stunt for years on multiple world leaders in an attempt to dominate them. Trudeau figured it out early and prevented Trump from doing it on him. Macron also learned awhile back how to disrupt it and not let Trump gain an advantage.

Trump's been pulling that stunt on multiple Heads of State for years. Trudeau was one who got wise to it very early on & prevented him from being able to pull it off. In addition to Orban, Trump also tried strong arming both Macron & the UAE leader.

A poker face is something she's doesn't possess. Anyone that's ever watched her facial expressions and body language while having to listen to Trump at various summits can clearly see she's often shocked by what he says and thinks he's a complete idiot.

That's quite the feat given Jack Smith wasn't even on the case then. He was busy prosecuting war criminals at the Hague until November 2022 while the "raid" occured in August 2022.

The majority of Cdns have had it with Trump's regime & no longer trust the US on anything. Many former economic & security dependencies ties are being severed while new alliances are created internationally. Boycotts on goods & travel have expanded w/ some wanting all US products off the shelves.

As a Cdn whose country has had illegal tariffs imposed on it by the Trump regime and ongoing threats of annexation by him & his lackeys, I'm quite happy to see it plunge.

The IDF have literally and in some cases barbarically killed >10x the number of innocent Palestinians (primarily women & children) than what Hamas perpetrated on innocent Israelis since October 7, 2023.

What an idiot Trump is. First he starts trade wars via his tariffs then is pissed when China retaliates & also stops buying US soybeans. Now this. China makes a majority of US retail products. He's going to bankrupt 1000s of companies as consumers stop buying non essential goods with 100%+ markups.

The Nobel Peace Prize committee were braver than I anticipated. I fully expected them to name an organization rather than a person as this year's winner to reduce the amount of political backlash they'd receive from Team Trump.

Debra Davidson @debralhd.bsky.social · 6d

In just two hours or so the winner of this year's Nobel Peace Prize will be announced. I anticipate (a) it will likely be awarded to an organization versus an individual; and (b) Trump's going to have a massive tantrum/meltdown over it.
