Tariff wars never play out as intended, both sides lose in the end. Short-term posturing, long-term economic pain.
Tariffs on Canada delayed for 30 days. Edit: Trump folds again. 90 day pause.

This is a real life comedy skit
U.S. commerce secretary calls Premier Ford as Ontario plans to put export tax on electricity
U.S. Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick called Premier Doug Ford on Tuesday for a “tough and aggressive” conversation after the Ontario government announced its plan to slap a 25 per cent export tax on the electricity it supplies to three U.S. states, CTV News has learned.

Curious why you believe it would be a dumb move. If Trumputin doesn't back off these tariffs, isn't it the only way Canada would stand a chance to beat the US at their own game? I don't think they can do it alone.
I think Ford is doing a great job even though he supported Trump during the election and deserves a kick in the gonads for that.U.S. commerce secretary calls Premier Ford as Ontario plans to put export tax on electricity

I hope Trudeau shows some balls (assuming he has any) and doesnt meet Trump halfway.
Either complete removal of all tariffs, or nothing.
Trump is scheduled to speak with Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau this morning, a person familiar with the call said, a day after the two North American leaders engaged in an extraordinary back-and-forth over a brewing trade war.

The Americans respect somebody who shows strength.

Because there's an old saying: "Don't burn your bridges, because you will at some point need to cross them again".
Cutting off the US would be the worst move Canada could ever make, because say in 4-8 years the Democrats take over again, they might drop tariffs altogether and we can resume business as usual again with America. But if you burn your bridges that will become much harder.
There's also military security we get from the US. What if Russia decides to attack Canada through the North Pole.
Do you think the US will come and help us after we've severed ties with them?? Unlikely.
And if you think that can never happen, read this: https://www.aljazeera.com/news/2024...ambling-to-counter-russia-china-in-the-arctic
I'm not surprised @Jenesis suggested this, however.
Women tend to hold grudges much stronger and longer then men do: https://www.google.ca/search?as_q=W...&as_sitesearch=&as_occt=any&as_filetype=&tbs=
This is also why you see so few female world leaders.
There are exceptions, and the few women that have led countries have generally been good IMO.
Margaret Thatcher for one. Sanna Marin would be another.
But generally speaking its best not to give a woman too much power in a seat of government.
I shiver to think what would happen if AOC ever became POTUS

So many deals with american companies and now he just said take it easy on Gretzky.
Look closer at what he's doing.
Canada eyeing NATO ally's nukes to deter Trump "threat": Candidate
Trump "wants to turn Canada into the 51st state, and it's no joke," politician Chrystia Freeland said.

A politician vying to replace Justin Trudeau as Canada's next leader has suggested forming a closer alliance with Britain and France as the NATO nations possess nuclear weapons, which could help safeguard the Canadians against potential threats posed by President Donald Trump.
Canada has a supply channel to replace chocolate coming from America.

These guys are so full of shit.
Trump is backed up against a wall because of running his mouth off and Lutnick is trying to save face.
This administration is sleazier than a Saturday night at Cafe Atlantis. I've had better negotiations on Kijiji.

We should take non tariff measures, supply manage the oil aluminum and nickel. We should also put a 25% tariff on US oil imports and see if Orange plague dares to hit AB oil with a 25% reciprocal.
Alberta is officially the retard province of Canada
Opinion: It may provoke Trump, but Canada should cancel the purchase of F-35 fighter jets from the U.S.
The problem is that Canada will never have full control over the heavily computerized planes
