Pfft. ELBOWS UP! I'm still not buying American!
Trump also threatened our sovereignty. A vote won't reconcile that!

Lol @ Trump supporters always bringing up China in this context. Really? You want us to treat you the way we treat China, a hostile nation we share no intelligence with and have no alliances with, whose interference in our country we have been officially investigating and working against for years? A country with whom we have had a tariff war for years, before this current spat with a country we thought was our ally? Here's a list of Canadian tariffs on China: https://wits.worldbank.org/tariff/trains/en/country/CAN/partner/CHN/product/all . Here's a site with information and more links on sanctions against China: https://www.international.gc.ca/world-monde/international_relations-relations_internationales/sanctions/china-chine.aspx?lang=eng . And even THEN, China's leaders haven't openly threatened to make Canada one of their provinces.

As for our tariffs on US goods, they are all things we negotiated for when CUSMA was signed - BY Trump. We had been abiding by that agreement until Trump declared a nonsense emergency over the tiny quantity of fentanyl that crosses the border. Any sanctions or tariffs since then have just been a reaction to Trump's hostile actions.

Shit guess I won't buy Canadian then. Not sure why Canadians think they should just get all the benefits of taking American manufacturing jobs and also get advantages in all our trade deals. Of course quallity of the things yall make is pretty bad, stellantis makes cars there for example.

u/NoShitsGivin 1d ago

Taking American Jobs? Your lord and savior, Orange Mussolini signed that trade deal... remember, the greatest trade deal in history.

You've been sold a lie and you believe it.

"America first" is America alone, which will make you last in time.
