Historian Kevin Kruse
He is always a good read and someone I miss from XTwatter, but you can find him here: https://campaign-trails.ghost.io/tarri/
"Press secretary Karoline Leavitt told reporters directly that if Canada wants to avoid tariffs in the future, it should become the fifty-first U.S. state. She revealed that Trump’s tariffs aren’t about fentanyl or any supposed unfair treatment of the U.S. They’re about forcing Canada, with no justification whatsoever, to submit to his will.
Leavitt: "He feels strongly that it would be very beneficial for the Canadian people to be the 51st state of the United States."

And we are NOT a National security threat because tRUMP heard the British burned down the whitehouse in 1812 (Canada was formed in 1867) https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2018/jun/06/donald-trump-justin-trudeau-burning-down-white-house-tariffs
It would be unwise to test the waters again if you attack Canada now... You guys are shit at guerilla warfare...
tRUMP reneged on a trade deal he negotiated and signed
Dumb and dumberer on tariffs/inflation
FELON47 is a Putin ASSet
Destroying the Canadian economy, leaving NATO, leaving Canada vulnerable with Russia encroaching from the North, means the USA and Russia will exploit our natural resources and minerals even further! That tRUMP water spigot he talks about is a salivating precursor to his dreams of conquest. Canada has a large amount of water sources and we supply most of your fertilizer. Why would he care about droughts and food sources if he can run rip-shod into out country and take whatever he wants as they are doing to Ukraine
Trump lifts US sanctions on Russia while adding tariffs for allies
Trade warTariffs CRASH the stock market
MAGA sucker's tax
The rich will get their tax cuts while the lowly working Americans pay more taxes ... and each time the markets dip, and the tRUMP SLUMPS have hardly begun, the rich use that money saved to buy up more stock, depressed property and foreclosed homes.

We are not ripping you off, DUFUS
I want to go back to the alternate universe where people used logic and half their brains and know tRUMP was always a useless, selfish imbecile
You economy booms on our energy and resources, huge amounts of money we funnel in via holidays and tourism and snowbirds. You will miss us when we are gone, gone, gone...
Don't worry, America! tRUMP has your back!
The GOP are using "Golden Age" as a time stamp ...bringing back a time when the rich literally ruled over the working class.

UPDATE 7
tRUMP's Treasury Secretary is an ASS!
“Bret, I say that what we are doing is we’re setting the stage for long-term economic growth, that we were on our way to a financial crisis. I used to teach a history of financial crises. And with gigantic government spending, it was unsustainable. You look back in 1998 [U.S. GDP, the economy grew a robust 3.9 percent during 1998, matching its 1997 performance ... much stronger performance than economists were predicting] look back in ’07. Right before it looked great, everything collapsed.” [Economies were doing well with Dems and collapsed with incompetent GOP! Look what tRUMP has done to Biden's robust economy! PLUS tRUMP is the one who put the US in deepest debt... national debt rose almost $7.8 trillion during Trump’s first regime, ya doofus!. And add the TAX cuts for the rich to your non sustainable "spending" ]
“Well, we will see what they do,” Bessent responded. “My advice to every country right now is do not retaliate. Sit back, take it in. [FUK YOU!] Let’s see how it goes because if you retaliate, there will be escalation. If you don’t retaliate, this is the high water mark.”

HOLY HELL IN A HANDBASKET!
Look what kettenwrangler found that the DUFUS in Chief did...
This meme speaks volumes
and I cannot give credit to the person who found it because their profile is closed...
The tariff are affecting everyone, so make sure you understand them and have contingency plans. It took a year for tRUMP to want to negotiate further during the last failed regime trade war. This time, it is going to bog down the routes and deliveries, have countries making alliances that are going to be good for them and not necessarily anyone else, and the costs will be out of reach for the already poor. And you can bet your grandmother that the stinking MAGA will not care... They'll be praising tRUMP and blaming Dems on their deathbeds (like so many did of Nixon...) https://newsinteractives.cbc.ca/features/2025/tariff-explainer/#i-thought-there-was-a-free-trade-agreement-between-canada-and-the-us
THE POS loves his HITLISTS
More than 180 countries and territories are facing reciprocal tariffs. https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/02/trump-reciprocal-tariffs-countries-chart-imports-united-states.html
PM Carney Response to tariffs: Fight, Protect, Build
The stupid message from tRUMP, who sounded like a child unprepared for the book report, was confusing, sloppy and weak. His Tariff talk was delayed for an hour to ensure that the Stocks would be closed! FELON47 is a WEAK WUSSY!
The markets responded anyway...
Dow futures tumble 1,000 points on fear Trump’s tariffs will spark trade war:
https://www.cnbc.com/2025/04/02/stock-market-today-live-updates-trump-tariffs.html
Tariffs are debilitating, not liberating.
Liberation Day is a term used by people and countries that have severed from tyranny and celebrate freedom. The lily-livered coward in the white house will never understand!
There is a new 25 per cent tariffs on foreign-made cars, effective midnight
Being the cars being made go through Mexico, Canada and the US up to 9 times before completed, this 'auto' be a fiasco of immense proportions! We have all been integrated in manufacturing parts for so long, it will be a nightmare and expensive for all. Only tRUMP the CHAOS and DEBT KING can fix it! (This is also why his economy advisors are hiding. They have no freaking clue!!) Be prepared for more of this childish chicanery! The FELON will not be happy until he has destroyed nations... and the US seems high on that list.
Make no mistake, this is always how tRUMP treated his so called "friends." His transactional bargaining was always in play. (FYI He has no real friends. Just ass-kissers, people who know how to manipulate him and the vast numbers he coerced, lied to and cheated...then left by the wayside) EG, this cross waver who was a baby when tRUMP was in highschool, but went to school with him... https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-childhood-friend-david-rem-is-a-60-year-old-nyc-maga-agitator/ https://www.thedailybeast.com/trumps-childhood-friend-david-rem-is-a-60-year-old-nyc-maga-agitator/
The Latest
Trump hit dozens of countries around the world with his latest round of tariffs today, but spared Canada and Mexico.
Even though there was no direct hit to Canada this time, other tariffs the president previously announced are still on the table.
A 25 per cent auto tariff takes effect at midnight and the levy on steel and aluminum is still in place.
Prime Minister Mark Carney said Canada will fight the U.S. with "force" and "countermeasures," but didn't immediately offer details on what those might look like.
Carney is expected to hold a news conference tomorrow.Trump slapped new 25 per cent tariffs on foreign-made cars, but Canada was spared the 10 per cent baseline tariffs applied to many other countries.

UPDATE 6
Why would Canada trust a perpetual lie machine, sexual predator, cheater, fraudster and criminal FELON?
TRUTH!
Australia reminds that the US has pulled the rug out from
under countries before, especially France.
Vance:“No way Canada can win a trade war with US”
tRUMP wants to win a war; Canada wants to say FUCK YOU and let you bleed as much as you will make us. We hate tRUMP's guts normally, but now we somehow hate him even more… Watch here is you like... https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nmvsUs1aYvU
VAnce also repeated that tRUMP holds all the cards... so here is a reminder from 2023 what he does with those cards...
The King is a wide eyed goober...
tRUMP loves Canadian political monikers, so expect him to copy that soon
tRUMP is making the world hate his guts...
‘Federal and provincial political leaders promised to retaliate after U.S. President Donald Trump announced 25 per cent tariffs on all vehicles entering the United States, starting next week.’ The parts go back and forth up to 9 times… and if all Canadian parts are now going to be made in the US… they have nothing in place. tRUMP is a clueless idiot.
Drew Dilkens, mayor of Windsor, Ont., points out that North American automaking has been integrated for more than 120 years, so determining which car is made in the U.S., Canada or Mexico for tariff purposes is not easy. 'It's really difficult for me to understand how they're going to do that.' Not FELON47! He knows everything about everything. The auto industry will be in chaos, the poop will be flung, which is all the 400 pound Orangutan does...
Danielle Smith controversial Florida trip
‘She's signalled her intention to keep playing a U.S. diplomat — "foreign interference my ass," her top aide scoffed on social media — including a speaking engagement Thursday in Florida with former Breitbart commentator Ben Shapiro, at a $1,500-a-plate fundraiser for a conservative education group.’
https://www.cbc.ca/news/canada/calgary/danielle-smith-breitbart-poilievre-trump-sync-analysis-1.7493168 PIC
Danielle Smith can’t be at an in-person meeting with PM Carney & the sane Premiers, but is flying at taxpayer expense to do a fundraiser for US far-right org with Ben Shapiro (who endorsed Poilievre & supports Trump calls to make Canada the 51st state) Poilievre says Smith speaks for herself, and she does… but says she speaks for all Canadians. (She means only those who voted for her)
ACK, BC backing down…
B.C. Premier David Eby said his party will be pulling Part 4 of Bill 7, his government's response to U.S. tariffs, in response to concerns from key stakeholders.
Senator John Kennedy’s Message to Mark Carney:
let’s be friends again
Go to hell Kennedy and quit calling us friends when you lick tRUMP’s ass! He says Carney should drop all tariffs to zero and tRUMP will follow!! No one wants to be friends with or trust a country that votes in a fraudster, criminal and sexual predator! https://www.youtube.com/shorts/4pnRYhQZO6Y
Carney should not have called tRUMP.
tRUMP is pretending that PM Carney apologized for something Canada did NOT do (take unfair advantage of US , and capitulated) People are praising tRUMP's restraint...nutty idiots on both sides. It is not even April 2 FFS! You can listen to the rambling bungled response if you can bear it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xMmbcsSr
Want to buy Canadian? There's an app for that
I don’t have a cellphone so use my magnifying glass and extra hours to shop…and dammit it is WORTH IT!! ‘Entrepreneurs across the country creating barcode-scanning apps for Canadian items. There's Shop Canadian, the brainchild of two software developers in Edmonton; Buy Beaver, which was dreamt up by two Montreal entrepreneurs; O SCANada, created by a mother and son in Calgary; and Maple Scan, an AI-powered tool made by a Calgary researcher. All four apps have a feature that lets shoppers scan an item's barcode to determine how Canadian it is.’ https://www.cbc.ca/news/business/buying-canadian-shopping-apps-barcode-scanners-1.7463039
Who will suffer from tariffs
Yes, we Canadians are going to . I will suffer less knowing that the main states who will suffer the most from tariffs are the POS who voted for tRUMP! May their businesses and MAGA customers Rest In Piss!
Trade war escalation
The US resident is calling tariff day “liberation Day F F S!! Imagine a draft dodging fake bone spur coward daring to call it that!
My parents were both officers during WW2 and were overseas. My father flew twice as many missions as most because he stayed even after the war was over to do food drops to starving survivors. Operation Manna from Heaven. They were grateful for having been freed from the tyranny of the original Hitler...
I want to punch that slimy worm in his fat ugly face, throat punch him…and yank on that vagina neck until he whimpered away. I am not a violent person, but he would have no idea what he was facing if he dared face anyone who was not an ass kisser! The weak veterans *Especially the Q-quislings and insurrectionists) who still think tRUMP is a strong and patriotic “man” can fuck themselves to hell!
UPDATE 5
W T A F?!?!?!?!?
POS TRAITOR Danielle Smith, Premier Alberta, says tRUMP should pause tariffs until after election as Poilievre has a [Canada is broken] vision aligned with US [and Russia] and tariffs are going to help the Liberals... and on BREITBART no less... [And hell no I will not link it!]
Is TRUMP right about the U.S. 'subsidizing' Canada?
| About That
Canadians to tRUMP
tRUMP uses word "nasty" to weaken, demean and vilify anyone who challenges him and does not kiss his ass or freely give him sex. It is mostly directed at women who are stronger than he is and journalists who dare to be good at their job and ask difficult questions.
Calling Canada nasty for not capitulating to being raped and bending a knee is his childish form of negotiating that soon turns into vindictive litigation… tRUMP is a loser of a negotiator, but he is backed by so many greedy POS now we are in for a fight and Canadians will show you their nasty side… Elbows up.
Mark Carney and Mike Myers, Elbows up, Canada

Threaten your friend's existence, expect a fight...
We left some of our cobra-chickens to spy on you
so BEWARE!
PS...
When some markets see empty shelves, they are taking US products and filling the gap!
UPDATE 3
It was never about Fentanyl
Nor is Canada a national security risk. Putin and tRUMP are national security risks to Canada, and all of these lies and putdown are meant to weaken us and our economy to make us more vulnerable. Both WANT and will need our natural resources and they want to TAKE THEM!
Countries that kiss tRUMP's ass the best ="first in line"
It was never about a bad trade deal, tRUMP reneged on the last one that HE negotiated and signed and said was a great deal. It was not about migrants, nor banks
Paterson said the American plan is to impose tariffs by sector across countries all around the world on April 2. From there, the countries that get along with the U.S. the best will be "first in line" to adjust or mitigate the tariffs.
Reminder
43 pounds of fentanyl was smuggled into the U.S from Canada VS 21,148 pounds from Mexico. Tariff lies to American
Meanwhile the Murdock's WSJ is going ROGUE
at least on economic issues. Murdock must be pissed about his holdings/losses and not be able to recover... tRUMP called it a 'globalist' paper 'owned by the polluted thinking' of the EU and...
How to make enemies & make Russia your best friend...
"What I said to the secretary is Canada's sovereignty is not up to debate, period," Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly said at the closing news conference of the G7 foreign ministers meeting.
"There's no argument, there's no conversation about it, there's no need to talk about it," she said. "You're here, you respect us, you respect our sovereignty, you're in our country, you respect our people. Period."
Asshole Mario Rubio Kissing the ring:
After the summit, Rubio told reporters that U.S. President Donald Trump's position is that Canada would be better off joining the United States "for economic purposes."
"There's a disagreement between the president's position and the position of the Canadian government," Rubio said. "I don't think that's a mystery coming in, and it wasn't a topic of conversation because that's not what this summit was about."
Meanwhile the lying FUCKING POS FELON
the USA have to call "president" says
The tariffs should start April 1, to show what a fool tRUMP truly is, as it is HIS day.
"Reciprocal tariffs start on April 2. And I wanted to make it April 1, but I didn't want to do it, I didn't want to go April Fool's Day," says the buffoon
and this:
'The trust is gone
We have to start thinking about how to go east-west again,' says CEO of Canadian Manufacturers and Exporters.
UPDATE 2
Canadian leadership
I am so proud of our leadership for these times. They CARE about ordinary Canadians and our sovereignty.(The CONservarives are campaigning that Canada is broken and have far too many supporters... so our upcoming election is as important as your last one. However, the campaign will last days rather than YEARS)
This is mostly info that I added on the main site. I am adding it here for posterity. Plus, unlike the main site comments in forums are crawled by the search engines.
America does not need CANADA--Stable Genius
Felon 47 yesterday: "We have tremendous electricity, we don't need Canada's."
DipShit Don today: "Ontario ‘shouldn’t be playing with electricity.’

The result of tRUMP tariffs ... tRUMP SLUMP
tRUMP SLUMP
Guess who said the stock market and economy were crashing under Biden... in 2024? His prescient look at his future incompetency was spot on though...
tRUMP pauses the Tariffs again
markets rebound for a moment... Just in time for this...
US-Canada trade war sparks chaos
White House walks back doubling of steel and aluminum tariffs as Ontario relents on electricity levy after tit-for-tat day. The news set off another stock market sell-off on Wall Street
Confusion, Chaos, Country bashing, NaTO bashing
All helps PUTIN. He and tRUMP are trying to weaken Canada and we should never capitulate, like Ontario and Alberta, BOTH CONservative, have done ...

UPDATE 1
The POS FELON47 paused some of the tariffs as I fucking WROTE THIS ARTICLE!! How are the markets doing? And how are your GOD DAMNED retirement funds doing. But hey, your MAGA fucking farmers get their potash and the rich car manufacturers are happy! And the rich can buy out the farmers who can't find labour. https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/trumps-tariffs/article/most-tariffs-on-canada-mexico-likely-to-be-delayed-a-month-us-commerce-secretary-lutnick-says/
The same MAGA POS that love that tRUMP calls Trudeau "Governor," are pissed that Canadian leaders are calling him Donald. FELON45 also said, 'we don't need anything from Canada' AGAIN before issuing another pause on tariffs for a month. (My, what a doofus of negotiator) Canada said fuck off and is keeping their tariffs on until added tariffs are removed. (Actually Canadian negotiators have been polite. tRUMP supposedly went ballistic and swore the whole time because he did not get his way) Americans (SAdly not just MAGA) are going to pay for their choices. Literally.
Here is a fine example of tRUMP being his gracious, polite self... (not)
Remember that tRUMP did this all last time
Reneging on a deal...and remaking it...
tRUMP has been denying that he is reacting to public pressure. He is not. He is reacting to MAGA anger... Ahahah! BC and Ontario are adding more restrictions and Ontario is adding more tax on energy until the added tariffs are gone.
