Canada makes some of the best planes in the world, especially for private jets. This is a tax on strictly the ultra wealthy Americans, so I don't think he will follow through.

Who wants a TACO?

Anything with the word tariff in it should be automatically filed under Stupid News.

Why do humans keep appointing the dumbest evil people as their leaders?

Trump is a thin skinned loser who rapes children and on top of that, he’s a 1 trick pony.

Tariffs.

The rest of the world is moving on without America. Good riddance.

Holy fuck Donny, tells your desperately out of negotiating ideas without telling us. Lol what a fuckin loser

It's like this man only knows one note and constantly wails on it.

Why not 5000% at this point? We all know you're not gonna stick to your word and change your mind tomorrow morning to whatever crazy idea sparks in your senile brain. So why stop at 50%? Get mad! Sky's the limit when you don't give a shit!

So, we're gonna make us pay... us... even mOAR for your planes!...?

Is this the country trying sell Canada a bunch of aircraft?

In the meantime this kind of threat lost any value... Besides that everyone is hurrying up cutting dependence on US markets

Are these tarrifs actually effective? Seems like it's kinda flavor of the week kind of threat. Like we could cut exports or do sanctions

Still around, this guy.

Out of curiosity, why aren’t the Gulfstream jets certified?

Dear Canada, Don't worry. China got cheap choppers for you if you don't like your own.

Dear USA, Bwahahahahahahaha.

Decertification of an aircraft by a national regulator like the FAA would make it unable to legally fly in that particular country.

Thousands of Quebec-based Bombardier’s business jets operate in the U.S., and its recently-divested CRJ passenger jets are operated by several regional American airlines.

So halt air travel and tourism in the US by both Canadians and Americans and force American airliners to buy brand new aircraft? Am I reading that correctly?

Trump threatens Americans with 50% tariff on Canadian aircraft*

Jesus, I wish the Supreme Court would issue a ruling striking this nonsense down. He's destroying commerce and credibility, wreaking havoc that will take decades to correct if it doesn't lead to a complete collapse of the U.S. as a unified nation.

Boeing probably still salty about the A220

Who gives a fuck. Go crawl in a grave you old pedophile self serving fuck. Nobody likes you and they never will. All your "good" is just smoke and mirrors you twat.

Get fucked. Nobody is listening.

Setting aside the main discussion for a moment (I think it’s been covered thoroughly by now), just a friendly reminder to diversify news sources and read past the title.

I think, we’re in a Canadian space, outside of the de-facto mainstream social media platform and further delegated to a Canada-centric platform. I really do think that we’re all going to benefit if we take this explosion in popularity here to make sure we better ourselves online at the same time. I have been guilty of it, so many of us have.

It’s easy to get caught in the negative news cycle, and even knee-jerk reactions from the headlines. But Trump is not our president and he never will be. Our helm is navigating the rough waters. Take solace in the captain’s fortitude and give him time to weather the storm. Unless the ship starts to sink, we’re all better doing what we can to make this ride as bearable as possible.

I am not saying outrage is invalid. Every Canadian has the right to feel strongly about what’s going on. But, let’s not play the game too much when we know the game is rigged. The house always wins, unless we realize that we don’t have to play against the house.

Much love from Canada.

The gulfstream 700 and 800 only have conditional certification in the US. Why conditional? Because they have fuel systems that are vulnerable to failure in cold weather. Our choice to not certify them isn't arbitrary.

Trump is like that kid always threatening to jump off a bridge and doesn't. Lol.
