The new tariffs have sown anger and confusion among America’s neighbors to the north who say they feel betrayed by a longtime friend.

Summary

Trump’s new 25% tariffs on Canadian goods, along with threats of more on lumber and dairy, have sparked widespread backlash in Canada.

Canadians are boycotting American products, canceling U.S. trips, and rallying around “Buy Canadian” efforts. Ontario has banned U.S. liquor sales, and Premier Doug Ford threatened to cut electricity exports.

British Columbia’s premier vowed national unity against the tariffs. The federal government launched a $5 billion aid program for affected businesses.

Many Canadians see the tariffs as a betrayal and reject Trump’s taunts about making Canada the 51st state.

    Sorry, which truckers are we defending?

    Please tell me you don’t mean the Flu Trucks Klan that belligerently blocked trade routes over a need to act like responsible grownups, to vaccinate, and to act like there was an actual pandemic. The ones who started fires in homes through letter boxes, who sounded their horn all night while people were sleeping, who blocked emergency vehicles - and there’s a special place in hell for that - and attacked tow operators ordered to keep routes clear?

    Those truckers? Because those guys can eat shit all day.

      They have tried to wake ppl up, but you didn’t. Current news is talking about what truckers could (might) have a point. And the jabs are not effective.

      Now All y’all are going to take the trackers place to do stupid things. But no one going to listen to you.

      We are all played out, and just not recognizing that…
