My US company lost all of our Canadian business overnight because of the tariffs on American goods. The only thing this tool is doing is hurting Americans, which… like all republicans… is exactly his plan.

Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

My Reuters alert said he’s doing the same for Canada, but who even knows at this point. The president certainly doesn’t seem to know.
Last I heard Canada is leaving the tarrifs in place on their end, and shitloads of people are just straight up boycotting American shit.
I’m American. I think that’s a great idea. Refuse to be held hostage by the geopolitical equivalent of a cat chasing a laser pointer.
He doesn’t even remember signing the USMCA and unknowingly insulted himself for signing it.
Brings me back to the days of the “Trump criticizes Trump” subreddit. I remember when the subreddit closed up shop when he got banned from Twitter in 2021. I naively thought it was a new dawn for the country. Wishful thinking.
Lmao what a spineless hack. He just wants to manipulate the markets every month I guess.
Oh look, the economy is at the whim of a single person.
Looks and smells and acts like a king.
Welcome to the kingdom of Donald
Because Justin called Trump out. If it was really about drugs, he would have lifted for Canada and kept on Mexico. 90% of Fentantyl comes from Mexico.
It’s also because the country directly between Russia and the US is Canada. I think people consider it less because maps are flat and ignore the poles. They’ll be targeted first for invasion after their economy is crippled by tariffs. I wouldn’t be surprised if both the US and Russia attack. Vlad wouldn’t want all that juicy territory just going to the US. This is all a colonialist land and resources grab driven by climate change, again not fully being anticipated by your average person.
Even if all the ice melts (when there are going to be real problems) Russia doesn't have anywhere near the capacity to launch an amphibious attack against Canada.
Taking into account how their invasion of Ukraine, with massive land borders, was botched, there is no chance they ll succeed.
There isn’t infrastructure on the Russian/North side, almost no people there. The people and valuable stuff is all within 100 km of the US border.
That Evil Empire of Canada. I see why our glorious leader stuck it to them. /s
