“Donald Trump threatens Canada with 25% tariffs if it does not act against the flow of immigrants and drugs into the US” or “Trump calls the PM “Governor Trudeau of the great state of Canada”.
BITCH. SLAP. BACK.
In this article, the PM states that, yes, it will hurt Canada’s economy, but it will hurt America’s worse. We get from them:
Electricity (for a couple of northern states)
Crude Oil
Natural Gas
Steel
Aluminum
And a BUNCH of agricultural imports, like potatoes.
Annnnd more I’m sure he didn’t mention.
And did I mention all American-made beer and liquor is going to be staying put in our country south of Canada’s border?? I mean, sure, more for us (ha) but that’s going to hit hard for our export alcohol products, and I am concerned that it could possibly hit some of the smaller businesses. No, I don’t have any specific names, but I can generalize (hush).
I’m sure there are more things than that, but as you can see, that list right there is Not Small. I don’t know about you but I took great delight in reading that article!
For a bonus, here is some additional information I ran across while poking at the whole Trudeau/Trump thing from a New Democratic Party lawmaker by the name of Charlie Angus. He serves in the Canadian Parliament.
“He’s a juvenile.” and “Come to Canada in the winter and try to drive our roads. Try and win an argument with any Canadian woman. We’re pretty tough and resilient people.” And there’s more here.
Unfortunately, I have not been able to find the article where it says that Border police have seized fentanyl from Canada in the double digits, I hope I am recalling correctly – so under 100 pounds. Yes, I’m nearly as happy as I was when I read the article about no FBI agents involved in the J6 riot, but these run a very closed second *muhaha*. But who wouldn’t be? You can troll PM Trudeau if you want to, Donnie, but Canada has OWNED YOU.
Sorry, no rant here, just a little bit of glee.

“…all American-made beer…”
I live in Canada. I gag when I see my neighbours buying American carbonated piss when we have so very many quality brewers right here, and not just Labatts which I consider almost as bad a Bud.
Bring it on. Maybe our locals will learn to back to drinking REAL quality brews. I sure enjoy them. Think globally, drink locally. Fuck Bud.
I think Trump finally did say something true, that he is going to take the slapping on of tariffs on a case by case basis. He will give these companies “offers they can’t refuse” that I’m sure will all enrich him in some way. Classic mafia style shakedowns!
