I can’t wait for headlines to read: “Cost of living in the US goes up 200% under Trump… administration blames Obama.” /s
Alberta loves MAGA Trump. I don’t think Trump loves them back.
If the orange idiot goes through with it I hope the Canadian Government rolls out the list of tarrifs they used last time targeting states that supported this.
I’d also love to see the following on the list of retaliation tactics
Time to invalidate any and all us owned drug patents in Canada, and encourage generic companies to go hog wild
While we are at it reduce maximum damages from IP infringement claims from media agencies to a nominal 20-100 $ fee or lower in response
Regulations on foreign house ownership would be a popular thing to play with just not sure how. But could be funny to see any trump owned or trump family adjacent properties taxed heavily and foreclosed/ eminent domained
The government should also put in place road blocks to refuse to tell the IRS any banking details of any Canadian accounts and tell them to pound sand or take years individually replying manually to any requests to see any US citizen accounts in Canada. Why bother helping them collect taxes.
Also would love to see trump refused entry at the border for the lulz
Anyway hopefully smarter people have appropriate counter measures for this. Tit for tat sucks but hopefully embarrassing/ appropriate retaliatory responses.
I can hardly wait to see how Danielle Smith will blame the tariff on Trudeau…
She just did.
Honestly, I take what brief moments of hope I can get these days… knowing that Danielle Smith will be crying herself to sleep tonight gives me the hope I need.
So if we seal off the BC transmountain pipeline and refuse oil trains service through Quebec could we kill our fucking fossil fuel industry and force green alternatives?
What green alternatives can we force short term? We will need to rely on gas peaker plants still. If we build alot of nuclear they sure, but I don’t know how feasible wind or solar is for us here in Canada for large replacements for our grid to convert consumers over to full electric.
On Arrakis we had desert power but here, in Canada, we must use hydropower.
The environmentalist in me is rather happy to hear this. Frankly, 25% is too low. Trump may be crazy, but if his trade war(s) mean higher prices on fuel for the biggest driver of climate change on the planet, I’ll take it
