Is it really a "longtime tariff" when it was implemented a week ago? I guess when you have the memory of a goldfish...

Bring it the fuck on yam tits. Lets fucking go. Send in your cultist freaks I can't wait to blow some yank limbs off.
Old man shout at canada... again
I've never been so viscerally irritated in my life. ELBOWS UP
Iβll cherish Trump when heβs 6 feet underground eating dirt for eternity + a day.
Hopefully this afternoon.
This broadcasts his insecurities about being clueless how the economy or anything works, and has surrounded himself with yes men idiots that can't even bail him out of this hole he dug himself. A big tell is he is so pissed he is giving them over 4 wks to lift their electricity premium.
As an American I say Canada should just go the "we don't bargain with terrorists" approach and just cut the electric today. Call the bully's bluff.
Sad thing is is Ontario has already taken the surcharge away, because he is going down to DC to get the shake down.
I hope he comes back and just turns the power off.
Ford is loving every minute of his US media tour. I hate that heβs our spokesperson down there though.
I like to keep my pension and EI benefits thank you very much.
Trump is desperate to be a part of Canada, huh?
Someone else said musk is prob forcing him to do it because he want to be the next president. Since he has canadian nationality he'll be able to gun for president.
Kinda crazy guess, but they are crazy so π€·ββοΈ
Lol at there no longer being a border problem. How exactly does this change ANYTHING about guns and fentanyl crossing between Canada and the US? And whatever immigration problems Trump is complaining about would be completely moot if suddenly the entire country are now forced to become US immigrants.
Because in that syphilis riddled brain, the orange-blunder has had the brain-shart concept slip out of the diseased sections and into what passes for a consciousness, that by only having a state line, there is no border, and so he will have solved "the border crisis". This is not a rational human being we're dealing with, it's a geriatric puppet-dictator who very likely has some form of degenerative brain condition.
Canada will be waiting for you fuckers!
I like to remind my fellow Americans who think Canadians are push-overs that the Nazis feared fighting Canadians more than any other Allied force because of how much more relentless they were on the battlefield.
And we've had a few months to think up new ways. Come get it.
Elbows up!
Cherished. Hah.
What are the protocols/powers involved in declaring something a national emergency? Like what decision power does the president gain in that scenario?
EDIT: This site seems to cover a lot of the benefits gained and what protections are in place to limit overreach, but given the current state of affairs I canβt imagine why Congress would reign in the abuse.
The national guard, on the Canadian Border perhaps, nearest the manufacturing and farming corridor of the neighbor he has been openly threatening to annex, in one of the most heavily populated areas in the country with access to be the largest volume of fresh water in the world...
Just found the response:
Dear President Trump and the Republican Party of the United States,
Canada is a federation of 10 provinces, each with sovereignty equal to, if not greater than, the states in your Union, whose sovereignty and rights you are such great champions of.
Therefore Canada would not become the 51st state. It would become the 51st, 52nd, 53rd, 54th, 55th, 56th, 57th, 58th, 59th and 60th states. Each with two senators and a proportional number of representatives in Congress.
Your kind offer of joining your Union has been accepted. Please prepare accommodations for 20 new senators and dozens of new representatives, and kindly inform Senator John Thune and Congressman Mike Johnson there will be new elections for Senate majority leader and Speaker of the House.
Please do not worry about security for the new senators and representatives, which will be provided by units of Joint Task Force 2 that will be arriving shortly in the DC Metro area.
Looking forward to working with you,
Yours truly,
Canada
All good, except we Canadians donβt want to be Americans. Like ever. Under any circumstance whatsoever. Iβll die Canadian.
Don't forget our three territories,, all of which need full representation...
And our provinces are so large they should each be split in 5, making us the 51-102 states.
I'd rather the West Coast become part of Canada.
Fuck no. There are more Republicans in California than in Texas.
You are not wrong but by proportional representation where Democrats far outnumber them, they will never win in policy so long as we don't do something stupid like voting by land rather than people.
That's still way too many right-wingers to add to our country. It's already bad enough that we have to deal with AB and SK.
No one wants this, this old diapered man needs to go back into the home
