Last week he said Canada making a deal with China was no big deal. Now after Carneys speech it’s a big deal. Guy has wafer thin skin
AxiomaticSuppository on
So basically Trump is proving that Mark Carney was right about everything Carney said in his speech?
Not to mention, this orange buffoon literally said he was fine with Canada’s deal with China the other week.
Is there any point in being outraged anymore? Trump is just smearing his sht on the wall at this point and pretending its strategy.
**Edit**: I just looked at the Trump truth social post announcing the new tariff threat. Trump is now using **”Governor Carney”**. Oof.

I find it absolutely ironic that he’s doing exactly what Carney’s speech warned all middle powers about, and how we should all respond in turn.
Does he really think we will capitulate after clearly stating that we effectively won’t be bullied anymore. If we can’t with you, we work around you.

Honestly, go for it.
It’ll hurt Americans more than us, and now that we’re opening up trade deals with China and the EU isn’t cow-towing to all Trump’s demands we simply do not need to follow suit.
We can take this, and we should. Show this bully that what he’s doing any saying doesn’t matter after he already demolished all good will with us and everyone else.

Trump is the boy who cried wolf one too many times. I’d say most Canadians have simply moved on. Many of us will never travel to the US ever again, or at least not until he’s long gone. We will support Canadian products and companies and reject America outright. There’s no looking back now.

Everyone takes advantage of the US! Tarrifs for everyone!
OK, time to make new deals with stable countries then.
No, not like that!

Canada trades 4% with China, USA trades 15% with China. r/markcarney should point this out publicly and then ignore Trump, and Canada should continue with identifying like valued global diversified trade arrangements.

Trump is an agent of chaos.
He’s the obese mob boss with an insatiable appetite for power. He consumes.
*”Trump threatens…”* it must be another day ending in y.
He’s a cheap pimp president who appeals to the lowest, lest educated, most afraid, and the obscenely rich.
I couldn’t care less about these threats. Carney has been the exact prime minister Canada needs at this time to deal with this threat – could you imagine PP at the helm at this moment? We’re going to do what’s best for Canada and there will be a great wailing and gnashing of teeth down south.

Can’t get a deal with the United States, but the United States doesn’t want us making deals with anyone else. Pretty clear cut attempt at subjugation. Let the markets price this in and Trump will fold like he always does.
KvotheG on
No concessions. No carve outs. No bending the knee. Let the tariffs play out.
Trump WANTS Carney to come to him for a “deal” with these tariffs. And it probably looks like canceling the deal with China just to restore good faith that continues to lead to nothing productive. These will not end if Canada keeps giving up something for nothing in return.
Wait it out, because TACO. Conceding over these tariffs will make Carney’s historic speech lose credibility.

“Elbows up yours, you cheeseburger eating baby fucker” is so far the best response I’ve heard of late to Trump’s demented ravings. I recommend we all take a similar approach to addressing him as the scholarly gentleman that came up with this pithy turn of phrase.

How long until a good block of countries gathers together in solidarity and starts threatening the US about selling off their bonds. This would effectively destroy the entire US economy.

“Donald Trump barely shrugged when asked about the deal Prime Minister Mark Carney forged with China this week. The U.S. president said such a deal simply made sense.
Now – 100% tariffs. This is the guy that Poilievre praises.
voidshaper87 on
Trump wants Carney to put the sign back in the window. If we did that now, we’d lose all credibility on the world stage and cement our subjugation to the US for the rest of the century. We only have one true course forward now.
Hour_Season8625 on
From what I understand, there was the beginning of a bond sell-off in Belgium immediately prior to Trump’s flip re: Greenland, an indication of a wider sell-off.
Canada is in top five global bond holders with Belgium, this would be a good time for a similar play for a central banker.

Trump must be really sad that Carney got all the attention at Davos. That his reaction is to confirm just how correct Carney is pure Trump.
Bring on the tariffs. We don’t care anymore.

Then slap him back with a 300% tariff. It won’t last for long, just tell him he is handsome and that will

From the article:
> “China will eat Canada alive, completely devour it, including the destruction of their businesses, social fabric, and general way of life,” Trump said.
It sort of seems that is what the US wants to do.
PineBNorth85 on
Way to prove Carney right and make it even more apparent that we have to diversify as quickly as possible. He is weaponizing trade to try to dominate. That is an act of an enemy not an ally.
flatulentbaboon on
People who keep saying this is about the Davos speech are missing the point. He might have been upset about the speech, sure, but this is about fueling the separatism flames. This tweet wasn’t even written by him, if you look at the style. Albertans already blame Ottawa for many of their problems, real or perceived, and this one aims to place the burden of any further economic hardship onto Ottawa’s shoulders for dealing with China, something Conservatives were already deeply opposed to, for real and also conspiracy-driven reasons.
WislaHD on
Okay let’s just play this out though. He puts 100% tariffs on Canadian goods, so what happens to the price of potash, lumber, and aluminum, and therefore the cost of food, construction, and heavy industrial products in the USA? They are heavily over-reliant on our resources for many key industries.
This is a strategic misplay by them. Put the tariffs on and add economic woes to the Yanks, hopefully it spurs on their civil strife and they go back to ignoring us over domestic concerns.
-D-double-U- on
TACO move.
100% tariffs would annihilate the US economy and he most certainly would have all republicans breathing down his back. Not to mention he has midterms coming up and this move would increase the inflation rate significantly.
Canada is 100% under attack by the USA. They are coming for our resources only. It’s happening, there’s no denying it anymore.
Only question is how will we fight to maintain the quality of life Canadians currently have? Under US rule, there will not be the same quality of life we currently experience.
There’s no transition period of us being properly assimilated. That would take a decade(s) They will just commence with the pillage of our country’s assets and resources
Medea_From_Colchis on
Let him do it. He’ll chicken out once he realizes it will make a ton of things more expensive right before mid-terms. Once he chickens out, he’ll get distracted by something else and forget he’s mad at Canada. Ultimately, we need to stop responding every time he throws a temper tantrum. His plans are garbage and blow up in his face all the time, so let them blow up.
MarkCEINE on
Just ignore him and proceed with all the deals around the world. He is not going to do that because the markets will tank and him and the entire GOP knows it.
FriendshipOk6223 on
Lol he is like a big baby. All this is crying over Carney’s Davos Performance. We should just stop giving him coverage. I think a lot of us have moved on from caring about all this non-sense.
AprilsMostAmazing on
In my opinion we need to sign another deal with China ASAP and more more US exports to China. Long term we need to diversify, but right now we should get as many US exports to China.
The less exports to US the less Trump can act like a terrorist making demands

Wasn’t the supreme Court supposed to stop this kind of tariff threat being used so haphazardly? Last time the US business community mostly came to our rescue with NAFTA/USMCA. Dunno if US business has that much influence on Trump anymore, compared to individual billionaires who don’t necessarily rely on the supply chain.
If Trump politically influences the Fed next, like he has done with the supreme Court, the US really is no better than Turkey or Russia.

Make no mistake. Trump is true to his word, he plans to wage total economic war on Canada. Stoke seperation, and manipulate markets until he gets his way. Trump is not reliable, he is not a partner. Sadly at this time neither is the US Congress.

I voted for PP but Carney can easily win my vote next election with one simple move. Make more deals with other countries besides America. Just do it. There’s no point making deals with trump, we already have an active deal that he negotiated and he is breaking it. Whatever the cost and whatever the commitment we have to diversify away from America.

Well truth is certainly a rare commodity in America nowadays, Trump wants to make it so here too. Go ahead nuke both our economies, just before the midterms Trump.

This is no surprise. He will now prove Carney right by waging an all out economic war of subjugation. I am willing to sacrifice, and I think most Canadians are willing to sacrifice, to save our country.
