Welcome to c/news! Please read the Hexbear Code of Conduct and remember... we're all comrades here.

Rules:

-- PLEASE KEEP POST TITLES INFORMATIVE --

-- Overly editorialized titles, particularly if they link to opinion pieces, may get your post removed. --

-- All posts must include a link to their source. Screenshots are fine IF you include the link in the post body. --

-- If you are citing a twitter post as news please include not just the twitter.com in your links but also nitter.net (or another Nitter instance). There is also a Firefox extension that can redirect Twitter links to a Nitter instance: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/libredirect/ or archive them as you would any other reactionary source using e.g. https://archive.today/ . Twitter screenshots still need to be sourced or they will be removed --

-- Mass tagging comm moderators across multiple posts like a broken markov chain bot will result in a comm ban--

-- Repeated consecutive posting of reactionary sources, fake news, misleading / outdated news, false alarms over ghoul deaths, and/or shitposts will result in a comm ban.--

-- Neglecting to use content warnings or NSFW when dealing with disturbing content will be removed until in compliance. Users who are consecutively reported due to failing to use content warnings or NSFW tags when commenting on or posting disturbing content will result in the user being banned. --

-- Using April 1st as an excuse to post fake headlines, like the resurrection of Kissinger while he is still fortunately dead, will result in the poster being thrown in the gamer gulag and be sentenced to play and beat trashy mobile games like 'Raid: Shadow Legends' in order to be rehabilitated back into general society. --

Canada?! Why the hell would he do that to Canada of all places? None of this makes any sense whatsoever. The US doesn't have the manufacturing capacity to do anything for itself. It's just going to make consumer goods ungodly expensive.

Canada spent the last 80 years basing policy and trade directly in support of American interests. At the expense of building trade agreements with China and even europe. Canada is fucked with tariffs. It's going to throw us into a recession as all prices will be going up. We get most of our stuff from the USA.

Canada is already in a recession, if you take housing out of the calculation. Because of our housing situation, it'll probably do some absolutely bonkers depression type thing.

Shit, the US put tariffs on softwood lumber and that increased our lumber prices like 500% a couple of years ago.

Both Canada and Mexico doesn’t make sense. NAFTA has made it that supply chains in those countries are heavily reliant on crossing the border. Like I think cars manufactured on the continent have parts that cross the border multiple times. It’s gonna be like a fucking compounding tax on cars lmao.

A pickup is gonna cost like as much as a house.

Critical support for getting those monstrosities off the road.

Canada is actually a major source of US fent

Trump's a big fan of the NHL and hates how many Canadians the American teams import

It does seem quite strange, but reactionaries, especially US republicans, are not known for being sane.
