Getting tired of it? Most of the Canadians I know are beyond furious at his threats to make Canada the 51st state.


Furious Canadians? What are they gonna do? Take their filthy Canada Geese back?


Ask the makers of Kentucky Bourbon. And the makers of California and Washington State wine. 40% of their wine exports were to Canada. You think there's a lot of good employment opportunities in Kentucky such that those businesses can take a big hit?


Less liquor is probably good for everyone.

So furious that they might... apologize? Or do what?


We are fighting back by finding new trade partners, boycotting US tourism, boycotting US autos, avoiding US consumer products. We are doing what we can to resist.


I’d be wary of China as a trade partner. Out of the frying pan into the fire on that. The rest I can understand.


The United States does tons of trade with China. Almost every manufactured good in the US has at least one component or input made in China.


Sure, and look where we are now. If you don’t want to be the US, don’t go to bed with China.

The Republicans have been “in bed” with China for almost 30 years. Look up Sheldon Adelson. The US needs to open our markets to Chinese EV and Chinese modular homes. The Chinese products are superior and cost 1/2 as much. Why do we have to paid a made in the USA tax?

This issue is fodder against GOP candidates in Michigan.

You lack comprehension. I support the other initiatives but Canada following the Republican playbook and getting in bed with China is a bad idea. But you can learn from your own mistakes. There are other countries besides the US and China.

Dementia Don and his cultists can't seem to recall.

Canadian here. A big part of our economy is comprised of selling agriculture and energy. We cannot replace the US with Europe alone. Not right away, anyway. We need China's market to give us some wiggle room as we decouple from the US.

Republicans don’t seem to care that he flip flops more than most Olympic gymnasts. Apparently being a steady reliable leader is no longer a virtue.

Trump Is Threatening to Block the Michigan-Canada Bridge. He Used to Cheer It.

https://www.propublica.org/article/trump-michigan-canada-gordie-howe-bridge-reversal

President Donald Trump threw his support behind the Gordie Howe International Bridge in his first term. Now it’s a symbol of the growing tensions between the U.S. and Canada, with Michigan caught in the middle.
It’s taken more than 2,000 days of construction, $6.4 billion Canadian dollars and seemingly endless studies and permits to build the Gordie Howe International Bridge.
Stretching 1.5 miles between Detroit and Windsor, Ontario, the towering cable-stayed span will offer an alternative to the privately owned Ambassador Bridge at one of the busiest land borders in North America, providing a boost to international traffic and trade. And it wasn’t so long ago that President Donald Trump cheered it on.
Shortly after a meeting in 2017, the man who styled himself as “the builder president” issued a joint statement with Canada’s then-Prime Minister Justin Trudeau celebrating their shared focus on infrastructure.

He has become a toddler dictator. He will never be remembered fondly as a leader in history. He will be remembered as a loser.

Do you think the China deal will be temporary rather than a take over trade with Europe?

Canadian tourism is down 22% since trump admin Jan 2025.
They are our best customer, the majority of our exports goes to them.
We have uniquely held one of the largest borders peacefully with Canada for so long, why are we jeopardizing this??
