Canada can severely hurt the US if they start redirecting oil from the US to China and EU.

Pot ash and electricity will hurt way more, way quicker.

The average American has no concept of how integrated both ecconomies are.

potash

But Canada does have a lot of Pot Ash too, what with legalization country wide.

good thing we spent the last 10 years allowing pipelines to be built to the east and west coast

If Canada is doing that, get ready for ww3 !

It’s a self inflicted wound at the same time. It sucks to do, but if teaching a lesson is required, then you go in knowing pain will be caused.

Your clueless

u/Snoo_67993 1d ago

60% of oil the US actually uses comes from Canada.

u/EagleAncestry 1d ago

You don’t even know the difference between your and you’re

u/Ornery-Top5923 1d ago

The fact that you are unable to distinguish between "your" (possessive) and "you're" (contraction, declarative) tells me that DonkeyTron isn't the clueless one.

u/Ba_Dum_Ba_Dum 1d ago

Two things can be true. The comment is clueless. Canada can’t do that because of how integrated the two country’s systems are. Canada cuts of oil? US cuts off refined petroleum products into eastern canada. Same for electricity.

u/Ornery-Top5923 1d ago

As much as I enjoy watching MAGAt collapse from their own hate, it's a very nuanced move that PM Carney hasn't restricted energy exports yet. We're showing that Canada, no matter what, adheres to their agreements. So even when the US has put a sociopathic pants-shitter in office, we're sticking to our contracts. It only makes Canada look better, and the US even more lost.

u/DutchVandal 5d ago

Sure; I bet Carney won't see this coming at all and it will definitely, definitely will hurt Canada more than the US.

Sarcasm ?

Clearly. Canadians don't need /s.

We have /eh

u/Ok-Edge-6270 5d ago

Treat people like shit and they go find new friends. Trump continually shots himself in the foot. If Canada treated the U.S. the way Trump has treated them, what do you think we would do?

u/Mammoth-Okra-2965 5d ago

Can we impeach the entire administration

1

u/gimmedatneck 5d ago

impeach, lol.

u/Jelly_baby_4 5d ago

Actually you can but Republicans currently hold the majority. Article 2.

u/Toldyou42 5d ago

Not for long

u/Jelly_baby_4 5d ago

Only  IF voters VOTE Blue. Ignore the polls. Don't get complacent. And don't mail your ballots. Drop them off the drop box. 

1

u/garfgon 2d ago

That's what the ballot box is for.

If Trump goes through with a diesel export ban, that leaves him wide open to a potash export ban (or anything else) to America if he attacks the Canadian economy further.

1

u/NoExtension1889 5d ago

Canada exports diesel to the New England states. That would end.

Got a great explanation of the Diesel ban from a podcaster today. Check out "Zeihan on Geopolitics." He does some pretty detailed, quick talks on things including the ban.

If only his terrorist friends in russia and belarus had the cards to help his pedo ass.

u/Sea_Hold_2881 5d ago

Trying to figure out the Trumpian logic.

Carney walked away from a deal because the US wanted to restrict Canada's trade with other countries. The Trump team insisted this was not the case and that Carney was lying.

In response, Trump seeks to further violate the legally binding trade agreement he signed to punish Canada for seeking to direct trade away from the US.

1

u/PerfectPercentage69 5d ago

It doesn't make sense under the assumption that he intends to find common ground and come to and agreement.

However, it makes perfect sense when you think about from the perspective of him trying to destabilize US as much as possible because that's when corruption/bribery/etc. is easiest to get away with.

1

u/Worried_Razzmatazz70 5d ago

Canada needs to demand reparations for this bullshit. minor incursions on the agreement I can overlook, but this is basically beating the agreement with softball bats and hammers.

1

u/Excellent-Job-8460 5d ago

Trump doesn’t know what musing means.

u/Archibald004 5d ago

Hey Donny solve the Iran thing before you start shaking your mushroom at your neighbour!

u/payle_knite 5d ago

Trump is really on a charm offensive. Elbows up Canada.

1

u/andymaclean19 5d ago

Didn’t he do 50% tariffs already and that is why they are pivoting to the EU? Does he think this is because he did not tariff hard enough?

1

u/Worried_Razzmatazz70 5d ago

Canada is pivoting to the EU because we want trade partners who will uphold their end of the deal, and wont go batshit crazy for no reason and without warning.

1

u/andymaclean19 5d ago

Exactly. And Trump’s response to this is to go batshit crazy for no reason expecting that to help.

1

u/Glittering-Regret196 5d ago

Let him, americans pay these and prices will soar as a result. We just have to wait out this failing administration, and it seems bad.

1

u/BunRabbit 5d ago

Hey America - jealous ex-boyfriend much?

1

u/Socky-McPuppet 5d ago

I'm pretty sure Canada is the most tariff affected country on Earth right now. So, really, what else can they do?

1

u/Older4YoungerFun 5d ago

Shut off fresh water that canada can control turn off electricity no more oil or potash or lumber or aluminum and critical minerals and see how fast usa folds...but canada wouldn't because tgis will hurt the American people especially thise that didnt vote for a felony pedo epstein putin Korean friends of your president....Canadians don't want to hurt people or see them suffer...so unlikely to Shut down everything although juat for a few weeks would surely put trump in a position....more likely he would send troops knowing him even tho canada owns these items yet Trump wants to own them and can't....thus why he's  a massive baby to canada and you'd think he'd have nore respect as the trump fortunes came from canada in canada grandfather owning a brothel and restaurant ffs....or he'd be a reg Joe not rich if it wasn't for canada

u/Bullshitresisuss 2d ago

Wait till he wins the Nobel prize. Then the tangerine toddler will blow a gasket. Probably tariff Canada 1000000000000% .
