    I mean the counter tarrifs we put in place are mostly designed specifically to target red states. Still boycotting as much as I possibly can stuff made in the US though, as well American companies. I’d love a closer bond to the EU

      I’m going to be honest here, as an American I fully support you in this and hope the best for Canada. Many of us totally understand the resentment and know that our government and republican party asked for this. I hope the boycotts work and I hope they send the clearest message back. At the same time I don’t have much faith I our leadership to react rationally.

        I wish I didn’t have to, because it was literally better for everyone. Two of the closest countries in history, at odds in the course of a month. It sucks.

      Economic events that are bad for most people in a state can very easily be opportunities for oligarchs who have the money to invest in the right things. If getting a bigger slice for themselves means a smaller pie overall they’re ok with it.

    GOOOOD LET THEM BURN!!! No seriously they voted for this. They only way they will feel it is if they suffer. Am I going to suffer too? Yes I am but at least I know I am not the cause of it.

    Just like the European counter-tariffs, tailor-made to hit the people who caused the problems.

    …duh? Retaliating is the point. What were tariffs like before Trump, and who gave Trump power? Why would you go after anyone else?
