If you are a non-Trump voter in a red state, especially if you work for the flagship company or industry in that state, I would like to apologize on behalf of all Canadians for what our government is about to do. We don't want to do it but it is the only way to deal with a bully.

Welcome to the discussion of US Politics!
Rules:
- Post only links to articles, Title must fairly describe link contents. If your title differs from the site’s, it should only be to add context or be more descriptive. Do not post entire articles in the body or in the comments.
Links must be to the original source, not an aggregator like Google Amp, MSN, or Yahoo.
Example:
- Articles must be relevant to politics. Links must be to quality and original content. Articles should be worth reading. Clickbait, stub articles, and rehosted or stolen content are not allowed. Check your source for Reliability and Bias here.
- Be civil, No violations of TOS. 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.
- No memes, trolling, or low-effort comments. Reposts, misinformation, off-topic, trolling, or offensive. 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.
- Vote based on comment quality, not agreement. This community aims to foster discussion; please reward people for putting effort into articulating their viewpoint, even if you disagree with it.
- No hate speech, slurs, celebrating death, advocating violence, or abusive language. This will result in a ban. Usernames containing racist, or inappropriate slurs will be banned without warning
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.
That's all the rules!

This is what the majority of US voters wanted. Unleash the fucking kraken - we desperately need a find-out phase that hurts bad enough to leave a lasting impression.
We Americans support you. We understand what will happen and we accept it as a way to fight evil.
Canada you do you and please protect yourselves from these stupid idiots.
Fuck racist, fascist, and Republicans. They are all the same picture.
North America (and the EU once they get their tariffs) is REAL fucked.
But good on Canada and Mexico for retaliatory tariffs that target red states. They... don't actually because so many of the red states are just leeches (seriously, look up how much orange juice florida ACTUALLY makes these days) but it is a nice gesture to acknowledge that not all of us are fucking psychotic and want to watch the world burn if it means brown people and The Gays die first.
As an American, I totally get it, do what you gotta do, Canada. Like all bullies, Trump only understands someone punching back or capitulating, so punch away.
Hopefully if the fever ever breaks here, there will be some sane survivors left to rebuild the relationship.
Seems like Canada might be looking to hit President Musk hard.
We have experience liberating nazi occupied allies
The hero we need!
We'll ensure to sabotage as much as we can for our liberators.
I sure hope so.
“People say ‘Well, this could be just a short-term thing,’ and maybe it is, but it also could be a long-term, structural thing,” he said.
This is ultimately my hope with all of this. We increase trade and connections with everyone else in the world and they all do as well. As it backfires(?) and brings down the US hegemony, Canada needs to be prepared to leave big brother behind and move on with our cousins and siblings from another mother.
I think some drone factories might be in good order for Canada, too.
Trump is already deranged and unhinged, when he gets desperate he'll be even more dangerous. All our old allies need to take this threat seriously and prepare.
