Both of you are missing the point: this is exactly why relying on one giant market is a joke. Every election cycle in the States turns into a tariff soap opera, and somehow Canada is surprised every time.

I get the anger, but “hit back hard” sounds good on Facebook and messy in real life. Canada’s economy is tied to the US way too tightly to just start swinging without hurting ourselves too.

Honestly, Canada needs to stop acting like the polite punching bag here. If Trump is using tariffs as a bully tactic, matching force is the only language Washington seems to understand anymore.

Yeah, this is the kind of tariff nonsense that sounds tough on TV and then gets passed straight down to consumers and manufacturers. Canada’s our biggest trading partner, not some hostile state.

Canadians are our allies, not enemies, and this just hurts regular people and businesses on both sides of the border.

If the US wants a trade war, fine, but don’t expect us to just give in every time Trump wakes up in a bad mood.

If they block US products and favor EU stuff, why should America just keep taking it? Trade gotta be fair not one sided.
