Fuck. I was loosing hope with the carney government for a minute.

Let’s hope we do indeed push back harder. Fuck Trump and little band of raping oligarchs.

I’ll take the hardships in Canada if it means that piece of shit falls even harder in the midterms.

To any Americans reading this: get out and vote. Spread the word and vote. Get all your peers, families, and friends to vote.

Stop this nonsense. He’s done so much harm to the American reputation already.

Let’s go. Yes it will be painful but it’s a view on long term strength. Cant wait to see the new last minute terms they introduced to kill this deal. It will prove all along what has been said: that they are unreliable place to do business.

What part of their unregulated food industry did we just avoid? How much free access to our water did they demand? How many military bases did they want on Canadian soil? How many seats on committees did they demand?

I'm happy the PM has decided to put up a fight. I'll back him on that as long as it holds.

These scumbags try to fuck us over last minute and then blame us for backing out

What assholes

I'm so glad we don't have the spineless pp right now.

However, last-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal.

The Art of Scuppering the Deal

I only regret that I have no more US products and services left to divest from.

Time to buy some more Bombardier I see.

It's a good thing I'm not the one negotiating. I'd have an uncontrollable urge to scream about how Trump needs to be arrested

Great, so now both USians and Canadians will pay more. I'm striving to not buy anything this this stupid shit is over. Guess I'll go live in a barrel.

As a Canadian I'm not happy it went down this way. I realize this will hurt and prices will rise, cost of living will rise. I'm not one for a knee jerk emotional reaction and be one to turn sudden blame on our leaders, I know the architects in america have designed these trade negotiations to divide and conquer.

What isn't for sale is our identity, pride and self respect. This will be our lives going forward and that feels bad sure, makes me angry. I trust our current government, party be damned, have our interests being put forth first.

This is our life now folks. We're just going to have to deal. What you gonna do? "Vote for the other guy"? doing so doesn't remove the oligarchs down south.

'scuse me while I go the LC to try another Canadian booz 🤣 numb the ill feeling towards turnip turd. 🍻

I may not like everything he does but still feel like Carney's one of the best prime ministers we've had.

This is going to go swell for us down here.

This is probably the best outcome we could've hoped for as Canadians. It's far from an ideal situation, but at least we kept a shred of dignity in the end. I'm personally extremely disappointed in Carney for taking these negotiations as seriously as he has been, when it's obvious to everyone else the US is simply not interested in a mutually beneficial relationship. They only seek to exploit us and our resources for the sake of their own egos, like some kinda colonial playground bully.

The only worthwhile response is to give them nothing, and point and laugh as they hurt themselves trying to do something about it.

As much as I hate to admit it, Canada really need to be able to refine our own resources. We have all this energy, but in order for us to use it, we need to shunt it down to those gross ass yanks and then re-import it.

We need capacity to do this ourselves to supply our own people with our own power. Same with mills and other needs that we as a nation require.

We can’t even have nuclear plants without those fucking shit stains that enrich it as we don’t have capacity to do that.

We are falling short of maintaining our lives as free Canadians constantly being shackled to those yanks and I fucking hate it.

No deal is better than a bad deal. 🍁True North Strong and Free 🍁

I thought that our tariff response would be delayed until mid-september?

I think in the future when Trump announces tariffs we should be announcing counter-tariffs that will come into effect that same time, not waiting it out to see if he actually implements his before deciding. One side may have an advantage of speedier turn-around on implementing such things, which hopefully our people are working to mitigate as much as possible.

Very well said!

The use of code block markdowns in lieu of quotation’s is mildly bothersome. They each have their intended purposes, but why use them incorrectly?

Our government understood, before many, that America is altering all its trade relationships. Putting tariffs on its closest allies and charging for access to its vast market.

I'm not sure how vast American markets will be as we become more and more impoverished with each generation, but go off king.

In recent weeks, we made important progress toward improving Canada’s position as having the best deal in the world with the U.S. However, that progress has not been enough to meet our objectives for Canadians. As a result, this evening, I have decided to suspend trade negotiations with the U.S. and have directed Canada’s negotiators to return to Ottawa. They have worked hard, in good faith, to defend the interests of Canadians throughout these negotiations up until the very last minute. However, last-minute changes in the U.S. proposed terms were unfair, uneconomic, and called into question the reliability of any deal.

No cap. Go on.

At midnight tonight, the U.S. intends to impose a 50% tariff on roughly $28 billion of Canadian goods. Canada will match those tariffs dollar for dollar to protect our workers and businesses. In the coming days, the government will introduce additional measures to support Canadian workers and businesses, building on the nearly $25 billion in support provided over the past 18 months.

Canada! FUCK YEAH. Coming again to save the motherfucking day yeah! As an American, it gives me hope to see other countries refusing to play ball with Trump. I'm happy for you Canada.
