    Meanwhile Canada’s premier in waiting is proposing cutting domestic taxes to offset the damage. 🤡

      Ummm… that was a separate thing, and he made the announcement before Trump’s statement.

      And it’s Prime Minister, not premier.

      What is he supposed to do? I mean there’s lots but in relation to tarrifs from the US? Should he just ask if the US wants Canada to be a part of the US to avoid them? I also thought that came out before all the tariff articles so assumed it was because an election was coming up anyways. Not that I’m saying it’s a bad thing to propose in general, it sounded like it’ll help some of the lower income people which is a win in my books.
