The Latest.

  • U.S. President Donald Trump has threatened to impose 100 per cent tariffs on Canadian goods if the country "makes a deal with China."
  • Prime Minister Mark Carney has not taken questions about the threat, but posted an ad online this afternoon reiterating that Ottawa's response to economic threats will continue to be focusing on what it can control.
  • Ministers on Parliament Hill today acknowledged the threat is serious, but they said it only confirms Canada needs to stay the course with its strategy to move trade dependency away from the U.S.
  • Carney made a trade deal during a recent visit to China, calling the country "a reliable and predictable" trading partner. Then, in Davos, Switzerland, he also encouraged European leaders to work with the nation.

The only response I want to see from the government is no response at all.

The United States is a rogue state and a direct threat to Canada, and the world.

Whatever Trump wants to do, let him. His words should carry zero weight as far as how Canada makes any decisions, and we should continue to diversify our trade and security as fast as humanly possible.

Carney needs to up the GST and taxes on the rich right now, any billionaires who want to leave, let them go. America will gladly take you and your money, get the fuck out of my country.

GST hurts the poor, not the rich.

[–] HumanOnEarth@lemmy.ca 1 points 2 weeks ago

My point is we all need to be on board. Tax the rich so we have basic societal needs met, and then up the GST since "the poor" should not really exist within that system.

Totally idealist I know, but I think it sends the right message to both the rich and today's poor.
