What a bunch of fucking children. Jesus Christ. Don't worry trump, the world loves what you're doing.

I think you dropped the /s there in the last line of your comment. I'm sure we can provide one for you with a 25% surcharge 😜

That's nice. We should keep ours until Trump is removed.

That is definitely not what I'm hearing. More recent news specifically states that Trump's tariffs have come into effect, and only Ford's pathetic backtracking has happened.

Our federal government went forward with massive reciprocal tariffs, yet our provincial government backed off his surcharge with the promise of having "talks" about it.

I'm ashamed to be an Ontarian.

I heard on the radio this morning that the original tarrifs are in effect. Trump was going to add even more tarrifs to steel and aluminium but decided not to once Ford backed down from the electricity surcharge. My understanding was the surcharge was supposed to be a response to the tarrifs and were to remain in place until all the new tarrifs were dropped.

He's also threatened those same extra tariffs to Canada's overall response as well, but the federal government didn't budge and in the end it was Trump that didn't put his money where his mouth is.

This is exactly what he wants. Lets not play his game of making headlines and changing our minds every few days like he is. If America is truly so great, they can afford the surcharge. You want Canada to stop the surcharge? End the stupid trade war you started.

We need to show we have the backbone to stand up against him and follow through with our own plans and threats. Showing that we will change our mind just gives him more control.

Seems like the federal government understands this but Doug Ford has no follow-through for all his big talk.
