I’m not expecting Trudeau to respond to stupid shit like this but he’s been pretty silent this week. I’m hoping that means he has some trade deals to announce.

The good news about global tariff threats is that it would be really easy to find allies that would match responding tariffs made against our exports or diverting required resources away from that orange fuck.

Harper came out to say that worst case if he was in Trudeau's position he would have just dealt with the bad economy for a few years until Trump gets replaced.

(Edit: my opinion from here) Introduce help measures like during COVID (some form of UBI) and regulations to prevent banks from seizing the property of those losing their job due to the tariffs and yeah we would end up with more debt as a country, but we would keep our sovereignty.

I'm sorry, Harper talked about UBI and banking regulations? The right honourable Stephen Harper? The one who had to be dragged, kicking and screaming by his own caucus, to respond to the 2008 crisis with anything other than austerity?

That Harper?

Wow.

Priorities. If there's no longer a Canada, then he doesn't get to style himself "the Right Honourable" anymore.

Nah, just the first part, the second part is the logical thing to do if we decide to just tough it up! I've made it clearer in my previous post.
