Summary
Canada is preparing to retaliate against Donald Trump’s proposed 25% tariffs on Canadian imports, which could trigger the largest trade war between the nations in decades.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau promised counter-tariffs worth $37 billion, with potential for further measures, depending on Trump’s final order.
Canadian officials warn the tariffs could harm both economies, disrupting key sectors like automotive, energy, and agriculture.
Labor leaders expressed concerns over job losses and urged collaboration. Canada hopes to avoid tariffs by highlighting their mutual economic impact to U.S. lawmakers.
Vlad and Xi hi-fiving.
Canada doesn’t have a military.
Nor would be able to be resupplied like Ukraine.
It was a long us policy to keep it completely neutered so it will ultimately do whatever us asks, not sure why Trump had to aggravate it publicly cuz they don’t have a way out anyways.
Have read ANY Canadian military history? Theyll fight like animals and invent new warcrimes while at it. Also I suspect at least a few states would revolt and help the Canadians at minimum the west coast and vermont.
This is not 1812 when Britain ruled the sea and could resupply Canada. Nowadays u need drones, high tech weapons etc. None of which u have
Except we do. Canada’s military isn’t large, but it’s quite modern. We’ve been a significant part of training Ukraininian forces on how to use NATO equipment. I think you’re a bit confused.
And while I don’t agree with our participation, Canada hasn’t been a peacekeeping corp in a long time either, having been a player in the war in Afghanistan and Syria. We’ve pretty consistently assisted American troops in these areas. Canada is a member of NATO, and a developer of arms and munitions as part of the indistrial military complex. We aren’t reliant on an island across the ocean for our own protection.
