What would be the most effective strategy for Canada to fight back against U. S. tariffs?

[Douglas1180]

As Canada strategizes to fortify its economy against the impact of new American tariffs, various proposals have emerged to mitigate the risk of a recession.

Which approach do you believe would be most effective?

Decrease the expiration date on maple syrup

Dam the Niagra river

Produce their own Big Mac, called the "The Real Big Deal Mac, eh?'

Send draft dodgers back to the U. S.

Demand royalties for hockey games

Snow blowers

Other

YES, to all of the above, …AND most importantly, to PUBLICLY HUMILIATE & LAUGH every chance they get at TRUMP. They should make signs, and banners, and flags—jokes, memes, blow-up dolls, all to make fun, make big loud public scenes, to excoriate, deride, tease, & ridicule ORANGETURD to get under his skin!! It’s what ‘hurts’ him the most, & sinks in, because obviously facts & figures don’t penetrate his ‘UH, BIG BRAIN’ — to show him, despite the WHOLE WORLD telling him he’s stupid & that doesn’t know what he’s doing— that being rude & an asshole to Canada is not appreciated & unwarranted.
Canada IS OUR BEST FRIEND, our CLOSEST, MOST LOYAL BUDDY & it is BEYOND stupid & rude, to come for them out of the blue, & say stupid shit! It is the most shocking & point less thing (besides his handling of Ukraine) that ORANGETURD has done thus far.

Give away free maple syrup and bacon. Within 6 months obesity rates will have crippled the USA.

Canada’s BEST DEFENSE is to BOMBARD AMERICA with a THOUSAND TONS of POLITE SNOWBALLS and MAPLE SYRUP LANDMINES!!!

those U. S. tariffs are as SCARY as a WET FART in a SAUNA and as POWERFUL as a HAMSTER’S TANTRUM!!!
hit ‘em with a HOCKEY STICK OF JUSTICE and a MOUNTIE CAVALRY RIDING GOOSE-BACK!!!

anyone who says “negotiate” is a SLIMY POUTINE PUDDLE with the DIPLOMACY of a RACCOON IN A DUMPSTER!!!
they probably think “trade wars” are a NEW KIND of CURLING MATCH and “economics” is a SCAVENGER HUNT FOR TIMBITS!!!

Canada should just WHISPER “SORRY” while DUMPING A MOOSE IN TRUMP’S POOL and WATCH AMERICA APOLOGIZE FOR EXISTING!!!
their TARIFFS will MELT like BUTTER ON A HOT NANIMOO BAR and YOUR ECONOMY will SOAR like A BEAVER PILOTING A SNOWPLOW!!! 🍁🏒💥

[Douglas1180]

Damn I forgot about moose invasions and whispering 'sorry.' Those are good options.

[lightbulb27]

Frankly, come visit and hang out and spend time with us, lets talk about the great things you make and we make and buy what you can. Met some Canadians on a trip down south, that's the way to do it.

I can't do anything about govt but I can do something about human relations. I have an invitation out to some Canadians as they do for me.

In time we'll realize the big 3000 mile border is of no value.

Develop relations with other countries so you aren't so dependent upon USA.

[Douglas1180]

This sounds radical to me. After all, they were the cowards who decided they'd rather live in the snow than fight King George.

Export Canadian oil and gas somewhere other than the US.

Tax the fuck out of trucks and rail hauling any cargo overland between the lower 48 and Alaska.

Slap a massive surcharge on any electric generation capacity being transported for US customers. Ontario, Hydro Quebec, Alberta, British Columbia.

Sell Canadian fisheries output to Europe instead of the US.

Sell Canadian timber and paper pulp to buyers other than the US.

Place a surcharge on any new vehicle sales made by US based companies.

Sell Canadian canola, wheat, beef, pork, potato, and dairy exports to China.

Sell Canadian citizenship to wealthy Americans looking to escape the hell down here for $10 million US per head.

Canada had been making trade deals with Mexico, UK, Australia, China and the EU and I think that's about the best outcome. We need trade and we need people who want our oil, gas, electricity, lumber and manufacturing and if the US doesn't want to trade with the rest of the world than we will. It's going to take some time for these deals to kick in but I think the best strategy is the one or trade Minister has adopted and so far there's good reason to be really optimistic if you're Canadian

[RedInnocent69]

@BonzoInBitburg yeah, in the long-term Trump’s stupidity helps Canada more than it hurts. Unless he invades…

[BonzoInBitburg]

It helps Canada because we've been active in not relying so much on the US for trade and this forces us to prepare for a future without the US.

Trump can't invade Canada without congressional approval and that's unlikely because of NATO

[Hаwk_Tuаh]

Controlling speech online, only allowing anti america comments.

[Cyrus000]

Canada can't fight the U. S.. Canada needs the U. S. more than the U. S. needs Canada.

[Pohjolan]

Join EU customs union. This would cause problems of its own like Canada would have to give up on internal tariffs but US tariffs would suddenly mean way less.
How much cargo Canadian rails can pull might become a bottleneck though.

[DrPepper12]

BAN PORNHUB!! 🇨🇦

It IS a Canadian company...

[Lliam]

[Lliam]

[seeyounexttuesday]

They could threaten to freeze the bank accounts of US citizens again. That was hilarious.
