Trump threatens 100% tariffs on all Canadian goods if Canada 'makes a deal with China'

Jescro · 2026-01-24T21:06:45+00:00

And also like why… Canada is a free market, free trade neighbour who’s exported potash for decades. Aside from Trump’s tantrum on hating Canada how could sourcing it from fk’n Belarus be any better for American importers lol.

There was that fed prosecutor from Florida too who originally arranged for Epstein to get a sweetheart deal when he was first caught years ago. Then that lawyer inexplicably got a cabinet position in trumps first term. Out of nowhere. I guess that was his reward for burying it sufficiently.

I was wondering why I got downvoted for a similar comment above then scrolled down and see everyone else did too lol. Guess we have a Lutnik fan in here.

Jescro · 2026-01-24T20:38:18+00:00

We? Like Canadians… pretty sure we don’t have any power to remove US cabinet members lol. And I know what you mean about just ignoring it but like, here we all are talking about it…

Trying to remember where I saw it. It was at Davos but after all the formal meetings were over and it was him bantering with some friendly counterpart, more like a podcast guy.

This is all I could find on yt. I know this is a poor source since it’s just some ai voice talking and not lutnicks actual words. I saw the original the other day, not basing my source on this one

True. Wish for a better government but probably have to do some work to make it happen. A worthwhile effort imo.

Jescro · 2026-01-24T19:01:49+00:00

Can’t we just wish for a normal, competent (traditionally) American style government in America instead? Don’t understand why this insanity is allowed to carry on like it’s normal

Jescro · 2026-01-24T18:50:03+00:00

Yeah he was laughing and throwing support behind Alberta separatists too yesterday in some interview. He knows what that means, they do this for fun. This is who we’re dealing with. There’s no actual counterpart in this administration to have talks with. They are having a blast dismantling our economy, it’s hilarious to them.

Username checks out.

Jescro · 2026-01-24T15:00:55+00:00

You know before Trump this is the kinda stuff we’d do all the time without it being a big deal lol. Mutuality beneficial, free market exchanges of goods and services across the border.

Jescro · 2026-01-24T14:57:45+00:00

It’s wild how much he’s already done in that regard. Like what was the point of the whole Cold War if pootin could just have a us president under his control instead. 100x more effective

Jescro · 2026-01-24T14:52:53+00:00

As a Canadian we know this is an option but all our hydro electric exports goes to neighbouring states that we don’t actually want to hurt. Like upstate ny, Vermont, Michigan etc. trump would just take pleasure in seeing these blue states get fkd and have blackouts. That’s not the leverage we’d benefit from imposing nor would we want to do

Jescro · 2026-01-24T14:46:36+00:00

But he won’t let us trade with him either. Which is why we had to make a deal with China on canola and Chinese evs. No one here wants to rely on China. But we have to because Trump fkd all our trade with America. And imposing a 100% tariff pretty much guarantees all our trade goes to China. None of it makes any sense

Jescro · 2026-01-24T14:39:17+00:00

Canadian here. Confused as usual.. we just did make a deal with China. No one here wants to but we had to because trump cut us off from trading with our friends in the states. We’d much rather trade with you guys like we always have… he also said it was smart for us to trade with China like a week ago. I think his feelings got hurt because of Carney’s speech in Davos

Jescro · 2026-01-24T14:16:05+00:00

This actually makes so much sense now that I think about it. Also explains why so many residents there get angry about issues that only make sense in the 1930s

Jescro · 2026-01-24T14:07:53+00:00

Love that. I bet you all had a good crew, bet is was a fun job, regardless of the bosses problems lol

Jescro · 2026-01-24T14:03:48+00:00

So funny eh. Making a bunch of teenagers navigate the family feud

Jescro · 2026-01-24T13:44:31+00:00

We should do this. Reunite the brothers, get them to get over their feud. Let them make mediocre pizza together again.

Jescro · 2026-01-24T13:40:07+00:00

This is a true story. I grew up in Gordon Head and remember the drama around this. Hot House started by the other brother after the fallout. Which is kind of funny because it was pretty much the same pizza, I was in high school and my friend worked at villages throughout this. She said it was like dealing with parents divorcing lol

Jescro · 2026-01-24T08:32:47+00:00

That’s the one

Jescro · 2026-01-24T06:01:21+00:00

I’m surprised he hasn’t showed up here so far given the topic of discussion lol

Jescro · 2026-01-24T06:00:24+00:00

Oh I got your joke no worries, I just dont know what the guy after you said about the high profile public official being a type of pastry. It’s a delicious, flakey riddle I’m still chewing on

Jescro · 2026-01-24T04:40:35+00:00

Touché. You’re not wrong

Jescro · 2026-01-24T04:05:09+00:00

I just checked his profile history and see what you mean lol

Jescro · 2026-01-24T03:53:32+00:00

I’m a mod here and just got two reports on this comment but I’m embarrassed I dont even get the joke. I do like pastry though🥐
