Trump’s rebranding of Lake Ontario was just the beginning of multi-day effort to provoke Canada
Donald Trump sought to escalate his trade war with Canada on Sunday afternoon and issued a demand on Truth Social that Canadian companies wanting to do business with the U.S. reshore their headquarters within its borders.
His latest remarks come as Canadian officials warned that the country was prepared for an extended dispute with the U.S. after trade talks collapsed and Trump announced tariffs as high as 50 percent on some Canadian goods including dairy products and lumber. Canada has levied reciprocal tariffs against U.S. steel, aluminum and other exports.
On Sunday afternoon, the president said Canadian companies should move their headquarters and production facilities to avoid newly imposed tariffs. The duties are set to begin in 2027.
Most of that crap is just licensed American IP produced locally. Cutting it out isn’t even going to be as impactful as other things and will harm local manufacturers and suppliers.
Boycotts need to target direct things. People have been making those choices at the grocery store quite effectively. Liquor and oranges. Web services need to be the next target with government support. Tax Netflix and friends into paying into our culture as they always should have been.
Not just a boycott, it’s a buy Canadian thing as well.
Why buy from the place sending fees back to the USA when you can buy from a purely Canadian company?
Good luck convincing all those Ontarian auto workers to stop buying “american” cars.
I don’t care myself, I don’t buy none of that shit. Just not helpful to target people who are probably on your side.
Encouraging you to buy Canadian is “targeting” you?
Interesting.
That doesnt even make sense lol
