We have some good news today. We have temporarily averted tariffs that would have severely damaged our economy, giving time for more negotiation and time for cooler heads to prevail. Thank you to the countless workers, union leaders, businesses and everyday proud Canadians who rallied together to make this happen. With the U.S. pausing tariffs, Ontario will also pause our retaliatory measures. If President Trump proceeds with tariffs, we won’t hesitate to remove American products off LCBO shelves or ban American companies from provincial procurement. Make no mistake, Canada and Ontario continue to stare down the threat of tariffs. Whether it’s tomorrow, in a month or a year from now when we’re renegotiating the United States-Mexico-Canada Agreement, President Trump will continue to use the threat of tariffs to get what he wants. We’re already feeling the impact. So long as our trading relationship with our largest trading partner is up in the air, we will continue to see many potential projects frozen and projects that were already under way put at risk. Canada and the U.S. need to remain united and focused on the real trade war we’re fighting, with China. If we want to win, we need to fight together - not each other.
Tariffs on Canada delayed for 30 days after talk between Trudeau and Trump. Trump folds.
- Thread starter DesRicardo
- Start date

Sounds like Mexico did nothing and neither will Canada. All he accomplished was riling up his degenerates which is obvious on this board.
What leverage? We already said we would work together on the border.
He took a deal we already offered.
Oh, that's interesting.
The "delay until March" was actually worked out in advance, but they had to deny it when leaked?
Then they do some kayfabe for the press?
It's plausible.
Canada needs to annex california, oregon, washington and new york state. Everyone in these states would love our way of living and our socialized healthcare.
And canada would then be a bigger country than the US.
Peanuts!

Lol, just as I said, buy some equipment, a taskforce(fentynal czar) and promises.
Glad to see the nation stand strong. Trudeau finally got it right, after his ring kissing at Mara Lago before. Doug Ford did too.
In the end I think the real pressure came from Congress. Too narrow a margin to piss off anyone and lots of donors would have been hit. It was an exercise in brinkmanship. Trump had to blink.

He was just joking. You've got to learn to know when he's serious and when he's not.
I can see Trudeau singing it now.
I fought the tariff
but I did not fire my deputy

If the problem is so small it should be easy to fix and not give Trump any more attention.
Why did Trudeau start a trade war?
More to cover up?
Trying to be tough on his way out?
Save the Liberal Party?
By escalating Trudeau and Fordsy allow Trump to ask for more now....
Probably not a good move.

Your guy is on his way out and is hanging on too long.
You don't understand global politics. After Canada's elections, Poilievre and Trump will have a sit-down and come out of the meeting best buddies.
I won't answer that.
in 30 days we will have a more comprehensive strategy and tentative agreements globally.
Trump played a game of chicken and he lost.
So Trump won accepting a 1.3 billion plan to strengthen the border that had already been announced Jan. 15th as a continuing part of Canadas border plan relesed in Dec. 2024.
What a negotiator!

Prime Minister Trudeau exemplary leadership comes through again. Johnny LaRue must be elated!
Where did you read troops were being deployed to the Canadian border?
I don't think Poilievre is that stupid. It would be wise to just keep it business with Trump.
Plus Poilievre has already talked about counter measures. It's also absolutely stupid being buddies with a guy that threatened to tank your economy for no real reason at all.
I would not be so sure PP will be the one.
Apparently Trudeau has agreed to appoint a Fentanyl Czar to track down that last 19 kg of Fentanyl that is being sneaked across the border to poison America.
smh
