Canada

Charging access to NORAD seems impractical. I think at that point they’d just annex, and there isn’t much we could do about it.

US military annexation by driving tanks into Ottawa has only counter to bribe a nuclear power to do sufficient damage to destroy US economy/debt sustainability. Playing nice, begging to restore colonial status, is capitulation in of itself. Just waiting for fatigue to accept extortionist demands on sovereignty.

Totally think eliminating Chinese tariffs makes sense, and we should just do that.

I keep hearing we import a lot of furniture from US. China makes furniture. If big 3 auto companies stand with Canada, keep Chinese EV tariffs, but drop solar and battery ones. Cheap batteries would make Canadian EVs competitive even as exports to US with tariffs.

I’m also pretty convinced we shouldn’t retaliate with tariffs – I think those would just hurt Canadian’s.

I like export tariffs the most. Raises revenue without raising prices for Canadians. Tariffs on "useless" US goods can be high, pay a bit more for Mexico/South American agricultural import shipping. Opening up China import competition is cost reduction for Canadians. Plenty of Canadian substitutes in processed food and alcohol.
