I stand with Canada!

On Feb 1, Krasnov betrayed our neighbor and closest friends. Today he has gone further with a 35% tariff on everything, except steel and aluminum, which cop 50%. This is a disgrace. No people on earth are more friendly and understand us more than Canadians. Support Canada in any way you can; Snap up Canadian goods before the tariffs hit, think about a vacation up north. Oh Canada, we Dems are here for you.

It's been horrifying to observe the mistreatment of our northern friends. Just unbelievable, obscene!

Furthermore, it's very deranged and punitive for "him" to penalize Canada for recognizing a Palestinian State while totally ignoring that the U.K., France and Spain (at least those nations) are likely to do it as well. To use tariffs for political coercion (as he is also obviously doing in the case of Brazil) puts the lie to his justification that they are only imposed for economic benefit.

His treatment of Canada will be a stain it will take generations to recover from. It's simply one of the dumbest, meanest, most poorly motivated things he's done.

I just tried to purchase Canadian maple syrup, and Amazon didn't have it. Then I tried Canadian bacon, and Amazon didn't have it. Everything I looked for, Amazon did not have if it came from Canada. Walmart had everything Canadian!

is doing to Destroy America and all the People and Countries that aren't his allies; I only think of one thing.. Who or What will happen that is going to end him?

It's the only thing that gives me a modicum of peace... that the Pedo-Rapist-Racist-Felon-Traitor-Psycho-Liar-Thief will not carry on. Some Day!

In this corner is an obese make-up wearing multi-bankruptcy business man who (claims he) went to U of Penn Wharton school of business. In the other corner is a former ice hockey goaltender Harvard economics educated multi-time central banker.

When I was in the military, we had Canadian military members work right along side of us. They were awesome and fully trained to do our jobs. What has become of that?

agreement have a pass on tariffs apparently. Probably so oil and potash will not have an exit tariff to the US like some in Canada have threatened.
