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. In case you need reminding: https://truthout.org/video/trumps-inner-circle-used-the-2008-housing-crash-to-get-rich/
In 2018, Tax Cuts Helped Billionaires Pay a Lower Tax Than The Working Class. https://www.forbes.com/sites/camilomaldonado/2019/10/10/trump-tax-cuts-helped-billionaires-pay-less-taxes-than-the-working-class-in-2018/
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. Gilded Age: It was also a time of exploitation and extreme poverty for the working class. https://www.politico.com/news/magazine/2025/03/02/trump-musk-bezos-gilded-age-corporations-economy-00205454
Who needs Canadian lumber?
Or national parks?
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.’
tRUMP: USA does not need ANYthing from Canada.
SO we shall see...

The Guardian does better journalism than most North American outlets.

Silly AP! Tariffs are a tax cut for the American people
Karoline Leavitt upset AP reporter for daring to push-back on the tRUMP Tariff Tax
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 ...

tRUMP signed the trade agreements last time he tried his hand ass (*TYPO, but I am leaving it... ) a despot...
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.
